Bullying and mumsnet

[hattiecattie]

I'm a long time lurker since I had my DD 8 years ago. I have noticed since the first day I joined mumsnet that there is a huge bullying culture here that takes place. I have witnessed so many pile ons happen to desperate people asking for help. Even if you don't agree with someone, there's no need to be cruel.

I wonder if there's a way that MNHQ can challenge this? Shut down bullying on this site as soon as it occurs.

The baby name boards are awful & often racist.

The ones having fun hurting people all their life aren't bitter and lonely at all, in my experience, they tend to do very well in various ways and not suffer much at all.

Really, I would say it's highly unusual that people who get their kicks hurting others are surrounded by people who love them. They may wield some power & maintain relationships through fear but that's not real.
