Stupid yet slightly aggressive standard MN responses

[Coatzillaclaus]

Why can’t posters think of something slightly more intelligent to say when they see a post they don’t agree with?!

I see these kind of posts a lot:-

Did you get your own way a lot, when you were a child?

This is hilarious...

Etc etc

Today I posted "Only on Mumsnet..."

I was appalled at myself. It won't happen again, I promise.

.

HTH
Are you always this controlling?
Did you mean to be so rude?
Oh you must be looking for netmums

You sound like hard work OP
You sound very young OP
You've obviously made your mind up anyway (translates as how dare you not change your entire life on the advice I have provided)
I simply couldn't get worked up about this

‘Mn at its worst’ when it’s a thread about the style of someone’s skirt or something

I saw a "spat all over my keyboard" today.

You DIDN'T though, stop lying, and if that's in your workplace and you actually you did, you're a minger.

There must be thousands of keyboards fritzed a year if posts are to be believed

HTH.

Fuck OFF all of the above.

Oh my god I'm laughing so hard I just woke next doors sleeping hamster and the chimney sweep came in saying he could hear mutley but it was me teehee.

Again. Fuck off.

This sounds very familiar. OP, have you posted the same story recently?

I loathe ‘Grow up’ and ‘Get a grip’

Also ‘Are you 12?’

"Hard of thinking"

Crazy OP: "All men are nasty evil rapists and hate women and want to kill us. Disgusting brutal beasts, the lot of them - ship 'em all off to an island and them string 'em up."

Reasonable responder: "Don't be ridiculous - there are good and bad men and women, you can't just generalise like that."

Crazy OP: "Oh, alright then, I know: NAMALT. I'm sure your husband is simply wonderful, but I'm talking about men as a class. I knew the MRAs and internalising mysoginists would be along immediately."

OK, that's hyperbolically exaggerated, but the general attitude that some posters display doesn't help one bit in disabusing people (men and women) of the perception that feminist = outright man-hater.

You sound desperate.
The op won't be back.

Oh wow WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll, you haven’t even tried hiding your contempt for feminists, have you? I’ve never, ever seen a comment close to that, but well don’t you, on using this thread to spew your nonsense.

OP, you sound a bit stressed. Why don't you get your besties to take you for a lovely spa day?

I’m a bit irritated by “turkeys voting for Christmas”
I am fucking incensed by it - not because it's patronising but just because EVERY TWAT who trots it out seems to think they have hit the apotheosis of wit and wisdom by coining such a wonderful phrase. Cunts.

Wow. This is the Reader's Digest version of Mumsnet! Thanks for the crib notes.

I'm recalling that recent thread where the OP was showing amusement at the idea of handing Christmas money to family members and then asking them to swap it before receiving it straight back, so that everybody had 'given' for Christmas and all ended up back at square one. She'd put 'joke' in the title.

OK, it wasn't the most hilarious observation ever, but the sheer number of people baying for the OP's blood as compensation for wasting their time and energies by starting a silly lighthearted thread that they could very easily have completely ignored or scanned the first post, thought 'not interested' and then closed again.

MNers in the Midlands might remember a Friday night shouting debate show from long ago called Central Weekend Live, where they covered a range of topics from the deeply serious to the downright silly. I'll never forget the time when they 'featured' a harmless eccentric elderly couple who liked dressing as gnomes all the time - they had them in the studio sitting on toadstool-chairs.

Members of the audience were willing to try and find mitigating allowances to be made for people in the other segments of the show who'd committed terrible crimes; but the unanimous aggression and hatred shown towards two batty old folk living in their own silly little world was unbelievable.

Get new friends. Yeah, that’s easy enough.

I love the standard responses where usually a woman has a newborn and asks for help from Grandparents, or is trying to build the relationship between them.

“You sound incredibly entitled”
“Why are you struggling with only (insert amount of) child/children”
“ Your mother has done her child raising and this is what being a parent is, YOU are the parent so you deal with it”
“ She's already been helpful in the past. You owe her an apology.”
“ Should they do more to help out with a child they didn’t choose to have?”

And so it goes on. Once one poster starts with their being a martyr speech you quickly fill up a few pages until someone calls them out and it stops for a few pages. According to the women of Mumsnet, you’re only a good parent if you single handedly raise four children by yourself without ever asking for help. It’s staggering the amount of venomous martyrs on here.

You sound like fun.

How do you like them apples?

We’re wasting our time. OP hasn’t been back all afternoon.

@ConfCall well maybe those turkeys should've voted for someone else then?! 🤷‍♀️

Oh wow WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll, you haven’t even tried hiding your contempt for feminists, have you? I’ve never, ever seen a comment close to that, but well don’t you, on using this thread to spew your nonsense.

I can't tell if that was responding in kind in the spirit of the thread or not having read/comprehended my comments at all....

For clarity, I'm referring to posters who, instead of raising very real concerns about the appalling behaviour of some men towards women, go postal and just end up cheapening and discrediting the whole concept of feminism in the minds of those who probably need to learn and understand it the most.

My mother should have been on Mumsnet.

Does anyone else have a mother whose bingo statement is 'well that will teach them what life's all about'?

‘Have you booked an appointment with your GP as you obviously have PND’

To anyone with a child under 5 venting about kids/MIL/DH/life in general 🤣

Or the worst insult on MN if you don't agree

'are you a man?' / 'you must be a man'
