It's really annoying. It's making Mumsnet something it isn't.

All these posts from "Mummytojakeandkayleighxx"
Ooh I love that hun xx

Makes me feel like flouncing.
But I still get loads of out of being here.

But the Troubles in Netmums have bought it all over here.

This is just how some people are. It's how some people communicate. It's not my cup of tea but it's their way of being friendly.

I don’t think they’re being nice when they put xxx I think it’s just a habit some people are in, I also think because they do it in texts and on FB, it’s just carried over on to here.
I would say it’s done absentmindedly.

redcarbluecar · 17/10/2019 10:54

Kisses are best when used passive-aggressively.

You’re wrong and you sound stupid. xxx

potter5 · 17/10/2019 10:55

I always think that only nice people put kisses. xx

7Worfs · 17/10/2019 10:57

YANBU, OP.
I’ve stopped replying to threads with terrible grammar and xxxxx posters.

ilovesooty · 17/10/2019 10:59

Another who hates, "call out"

No one's forcing you to engage with the riff raff.

MustardScreams · 17/10/2019 10:59

If I see kisses on a post i don’t bother reading it. 9 times out of 10 it ends up being a completely ridiculous post anyway, and I’m not wasting my precious procrastination time reading about pregnancy symptoms 9 seconds after sex or someone getting irate about a totally normal and easily rectified situation.

Pikachoob · 17/10/2019 11:00

Yeah xx but could I be pregnant, hun ? ? xxx

I am an intelligent degree educated woman who probably falls into the twee category. After losing a brother to suicide and suffering from the effects of an abusive upbringing I tend to over dole out affection because you never know who needs it, stranger, family or colleague. I have no shame about it.

Calling everyone out who does it makes you no better or more righteous than anyone else who loses their shit and gets easily offended on the internet nowadays.

NeverMindHunxxx · 17/10/2019 11:01

It's making Mumsnet something it isn't.

What is it not, pray tell? A place where different people with different writing styles congregate? Or a place where the thick and/or low class people, who dare write differently from the intelligent and/or middle class/upper class, shouldn't be seen, let alone inundate with their dumb xxxxxs? Hmm?

PortiaCastis · 17/10/2019 11:03

I also hate call out, why are the site police active today anyway.

MustardScreams · 17/10/2019 11:04

I’m not being righteous, but I’m also allowed to not enjoy the shite grammar and spelling. No one is better than anyone else, we all have preferences and dislikes.

If someone is clearly struggling then of course I know how use empathy. But this thread is not about anyone struggling, it’s just somewhere to moan.

NoDontLookAtMeImShy · 17/10/2019 11:05

This thread is sick?

It's sick?

Bit of an over the top statement, non?

I'm with you OP and raise you A 'baby daddy'.
Some of this crept in a while ago,we had a spate of mums'boobing' their babies.

MustardScreams · 17/10/2019 11:06

I’ll raise you hubby, bubba, little man and gawjuss. All of which I’ve seen in the last week. Just NO.

Aprillygirl · 17/10/2019 11:07

There's a massive difference between class (as you see it?) and intelligence.

It's not very classy to be rude and unwelcoming to newbies by calling them out on how they express themselves. There's room for everyone here, so how about you stop being so possessive about a bloody forum, because you don't own it and have no right to tell people what they should and should not be doing on it.

xx

Newmumma83 · 17/10/2019 11:07

Tough not going to change who I am to make you happy, we wouldn’t be friends because we are not the same people doesn’t mean I need calling out

P.s the x x x xx air Smile are usually also
Put in place to explain the tone on message as many things are easily mid understood on face book

Newmumma83 · 17/10/2019 11:08

Sorry Mumsnet

Newmumma83 · 17/10/2019 11:09

2 hours sleep 💤 teething baby fun ... gonna give me a hug 😂😂😂

Sux2buthen · 17/10/2019 11:10

It's an open forum. You're not going to like everyone and everything on it.
After a search I found that it is possible to move on and read different posts, ones that are more your type

There's some nasty women on here though, just laying into others for the way they express themselves. Sad (pathetic)

ThatMuppetShow · 17/10/2019 11:10

You’re wrong and you sound stupid. xxx
