To call out everyone who puts kisses on their post xxxxxx?

[NoDontLookAtMeImShy]

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.

Ah well at least it's not I'm better than younet as you put a x on your post!
Yet!

If you don't like it and don't think it's in the spirit of MN why don't you 'call it out' on every thread you see it, every time you see it? Frothing about it won't change it and everyone is different. And YABU for not calling something out using capital letters, otherwise it's not calling it's just talking.

What is also annoying is the use of call out, spelling something with a k at the end, calling people hun and typos being blamed for bad spelling ability.

It's making Mumsnet something it isn't.

It might make Mumsnet into something you don't want it to be, but Mumsnet is what current users make it.

I prefer it to be more diverse with different people with different views. I don't know why people get upset with kisses and huns but not with the extremely twee DD, DS, STBXH and as said upthread the idiotic DDog and Dcat (and I saw Dhorse the other week!!).

I don't understand why people put xx on the bottom of messages to people they don't actually know ...

And that's in real life too - not just on MN - I find it really odd.

"Oh yes, back in the good old days before netmums infiltrated this upper class bitching site hoighty toighty" Yes. There was a thread recently about the Mouldies bullying and a lot of the old posters came on and proceeded to bully the shit out of some poor soul.
Thanks hun xxxx

Have a spa day hunz

Let hubs look after bubs x x

The DH, DDog thing etc get brought up all the time in these types of threads. It’s just internet abbreviations, not just a MN thing and has been for a long time.

spelling something with a k at the end

I genuinely do not understand what you're on about here?

And I assume you mean me when referring to blaming typos for bad spelling ability?

I'm terrible at spelling. And I'm the queen of typos when I've had no sleep.

There's a difference between genuine error and deliberate "you ok hun? Xx my hubby's the same xx"

And sorry but the person upthread referring to the xxx huns xxx as diverse. Seriously?!

I know it's just internet abbreviations, it doesn't make it any less twee. Any why abbreviate something to DDog which makes it longer than the original word? Is it just in case the dog gets offended that you didn't call it dear/ darling?

*anyway, why

Agree- MN is what the current users make it. Everyone who posts has an equal right to be here You can "call out" people as much as you like but they are equally at liberty to call you out for rudeness. Sounds like you just want to post into a cliquey group who will reflect your own opinions and validate your world view.

And sorry but the person upthread referring to the xxx huns xxx as diverse. Seriously?!

Of course it makes the site more diverse. It widens the demographic. If you just want people on Mumsnet who post in exactly the same way as you, with the same opinions it's not exactly diverse is it?

just because someone gives kisses on a post means they must be NM immigrants is absurd.
Well just in case they are they should be detained and separated from their xxxx's before ultimately being deported back to NM.

I agree about the DDog and DFish being ridiculous but the other stuff is just part and parcel of internet life.

You ok Hun?

Inbox me xx

And while we’re at it: it’s could HAVE or would HAVE.
@MustardScreams So it’s not just my imagination. That really IS becoming more common. It seemed like it, but I thought perhaps I was just being a snobby, heartless bitch. I mean, more so than usual.

Not even sure where hun comes from as it’s not “ hunny” but “ honey”. Hate being called hun by people I barely know or don’t know at all eg on Facebook selling sites etc

Love and peace hun xxxxxx

I'm not new on here, but I comment via the app. Sometimes I forget as I'm typing on my phone, and an accidental x is popped on the end.

Not the end of the world, no one gives a shit really soz aba me

I'm guilty of doing a DCat. That makes sense to me as I love him.

Far more sense than giving kisses to someone I've never met never mind wanted to kiss in the slightest.

I don't understand the need for the xxx at the end of a post, I must admit and I do find all the hunning irritating.

However, what I am finding more irritating and concerning now, apart from the could of, should of, is the increasing acceptance of shitty behaviour by some posters husbands/partners.

There seems to be a whole generation of young women who are seeing men's shitty behaviour as 'normal'.

I find that far more concerning than a few xxx at the end of a post.

I agree - no kisses

There seems to be a whole generation of young women who are seeing men's shitty behaviour as 'normal'.

The people who think men's shitty behaviour is normal have always been there, they just weren't on Mumsnet before. Hopefully the relationships boards will help some women realise they don't have to accept it.

It might make Mumsnet into something you don't want it to be, but Mumsnet is what current users make it.

Well said NerrSnerr.

There's a few here that think they run mumsnet because they've been here years.

xx for you OP.
