Mumsnet Etiquette?

[SunshinePie]

So if someone makes a thread asking for opinions is it okay to be brutally honest and give your opinion?

YANBU - yeah fire away
YABU - no, if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all

I’ve looked up the thread in question. You weren’t just brutally honest. You were brutally honest three times, and misread the OP, and then started this thread disingenuously.

That’s nothing to do with Mumsnet ‘etiquette’. That’s whether to be a dick or not. I vote for not being a dick. Try it.

(That’s me being brutally honest.)

Nope. Just confused why someone would ask for opinions and then get aggressive when people give their opinion. Didn’t know if there was some “unwritten Mumsnet rule” about not giving honest opinions. This place is very insular sometimes and I was just trying to figure out if I was missing some “unsaid” rule.

Haha! I didn't see the other thread so have no idea what's going on but even I know that's ^^ a load of codswallop 🤣🤣

You were just trying to figure it out all wide-eyed and innocent were you?

You may need to consider whether the person's feelings would be hurt. Sometimes keeping your comments to yourself for the sake of others' feelings is best.
