In feeling that MN is rather like reading the Daily Mail today???

[CountessDracula]

truly

MN has been ghastly lately. so yes, a bit like the DM.

know what you mean

So much intolerance

rantings about people on benefits
rich people
string up crims
castrate paedos

yes

god yes! what is going on at the moment? mnet seems to have gone slightly mad. am considering taking a mnet sabbatical until things return to normal

although i do agree with castrate paedos

the rest is shit

I agree - did wonder whether it was just me.

Feel a bit about it.

Some Guardian journalist (Roy Greenslade maybe) was on the radio a while ago, he has the Mail delivered. (If not Mr. Greenslade I apologise...) It raises his blood pressure and makes him yell. I get the Mail occasionally and have a rant. It is the Irish edition, there is a fabulous right wing columnist I despise. Dh thinks I am the only person ever to become more lefty as i age.

Have just returned from a 6 week mnet sabbatical, may make it another 6 weeks and get on with the spring clean.

oh dear think I am in for a kicking

And it's not even a full moon....

the typos and misplaced apostrophe in the title speaks volumes.

who are these people?

where do they come from?

how can we send them back!

The up side is that I might drag my sorry, guardian reading, lefty-liberal, bleeding heart ass away from the computer and tidy my house instead (what I was meant to be doing)

It is . I think if I was to think about joining now, I may read some of the threads and hightail it far far away!

YANBU - I've logged on yesterday and today for the first time in ages and its all got a bit scary. If I want to hear right wing ranting I'll call my mother

Its not just MN - its the whole world. I really believe the DM has a plot to take over the world, and they are winning........

good point fletch. but i am also reeling from the flu so the thought of housework is not good (on any day) and would like to be outside pottering in the garden instead of bitching about MN.

Point re. intolerance, nimbyism, lack of compassion displayed on MN - strongly agree.

Point re. "they" / "these people" have poor grammar, what would you expect - strongly disagree.

see i really hate all that 'i blame mothercare' chat, it's so snooty. but there definitely are some right thicko posters here at the moment...

(Puts on Devils Advocate hat)

Why is there not room for people with differing opinions to your own? If we all agreed on everything, wouldn't life be dull?

I think folk should be able to discuss what they want. You can't please everybody all of the time. Why do other peoples opinions matter so much to you? if you are firm in what you believe,and act accordingly, whats the harm?

tis indeed odd on here today

Any minute now, there'll be someone coming on this thread to tell us we're a bunch of narrow minded feckers for criticising the Daily Mail (you wait and see....)

Oh I agree

I was merely commenting on the proliferation of DM style threads today

because, maidamess, at the moment MN's shitey and boring to read and It Used To Be Better and More Interesting. [dumbed down]
