To ask what's the nastiest thing someone's said to you on here?

[Shinings]

Or the internet in general?

I really enjoy (for the most part) using mumsnet and have had some really helpful advice over the years and some good laughs. I know anything goes on here though, especially in AIBU and thats why I rarely post in this section. It's great to get honest advice but what's the difference between honest and cruel I wonder.

Mine was a couple of years ago when I posted on the relationships board about how I was struggling to overcome the fact that my ex partner and close friend ended up in a relationship a few months after we had split. It felt much worse as I had suffered a miscarriage a year before, cue some lovely poster telling me to basically get over it and that many people had suffered miscarriages before and I wasn't anything special - absolutely correct but that didn't make my situation any less sad or painful.

I can laugh about it now (the comment) but it was horrible at the time. I just can't imagine someone saying that to another persons face but people feel more confident behind a keyboard don't they. I'm sure others on here have worse examples. It only crossed my mind because I read a thread earlier and some of the comments were absolutely awful (I mean, really crossing the line and quite hurtful imo)

Well done!
Got my DC to adulthood and they still speak to me so all good 😊 The black dog still comes howling around sometimes but I generally kick it into touch.

Oh god there’s so much I can’t remember one specific thing. I’ve figured out much of the nastiness comes from the assumption that threads are fake. This leads to a campaign of troll hunting where every post is just sarcastic and posters start to go through your posting history and throw old posts at you. It’s very weird but luckily the good still outweighs the bad.

Ii was involved in a discussion online about something fairly innocuous, I'd not said anything particularly incendiary but one individual took offence and told me that I should leave the discussion as I was a 'pointless individual' ...granted it was said in spite but as I'm being treated for depression and anxiety it was very upsetting, another was made by a colleague at work who, as she walked past me hissed under her breath "you've got a fucking eating disorder". (I've lost weight I needed to lose) ...this isn't a "poor little me" post it is simply an expression of disappointment that people find it so easy and acceptable to be hurtful to others.

This one is light hearted but I've been reminded of it today.

I was accused of lying about my passport. Apparently my passport couldn't gave a certain feature as it was too old (it was a discussion about that feature).

O even doubted myself and went and checked... both mine and DHs passport had it!
