I love Mn....we all do, thats why we are here. so don't jump on me and tell me off for slagging it off, because im not.

but i do wonder if some people just dont really know what they want.

If the word netmums, ((((hugs)))) or Hun is mentioned we all shudder and run for the nearest hiding spot. and yet recently i have noticed with increased regularity the slightest hint at a debate or a subject likely to cause debate and we get lots of "hard hats" and "im off to get popcorn" and even worse people actually advising that the subject matter be dropped.

the intellectual aspect of MN is what i love most. the fact that there are people with such varied views and such great ability to voice them articulately.

why is it that we now wish to stop people from posting anything that is even slightly controversial?

i do love the suzywong reference though to be fair.

expatinscotland · 27/05/2008 00:12

i can't believe you lot.

if you're not going to post anything helpful, constructive and supportive, you can all just fark right off.

hunkermunker · 27/05/2008 00:13

I just love Suzywong. She cuddled DS2 when he was a squashy baby, not a "bodey" eating toddler [vile]

expatinscotland · 27/05/2008 00:15

and i never use the word 'fark' except when taking the piss.

because the proper word is 'fuck'.

Janni · 27/05/2008 01:35

Oh I don't know, Mamazon. I'm busy being mashed to pieces on the 'Breastfeeding an 8 year old' thread and the 'Is my lovely family friend really a paedophile' thread.

It all seems as controversial as ever.

verylittlecarrot · 27/05/2008 01:40

Who mashed you, Janni? I thought we were playing nicely. See, I disagreed with you but found you polite and thoughtful in your posts.

I wouldn't have ejected you into cyberspace, honest!

Spero · 27/05/2008 07:21

Hmmm. I don't think anyone wants it to be dull. but there does seem to be a fair bit of starting other threads to complain about other people's awfulness which seems a bit ... er what's the word? Pointless?

that's a polite word.

I'm surprised by how many people have felt so stomped on that it has made them cry in RL. that's really sad.

not me of course. I'm dead hard.

Janni · 27/05/2008 10:16

No you're right, verylittlecarrot. Maybe I mean 'losing the argument' rather than 'being mashed'

Just making the point that there are lots of nice juicy threads for Mamazon to get her teeth into !

Oliveoil · 27/05/2008 15:46

oh I do 'the line'

but I do it in an ironic way

didn't think I was a prick, thanks for that

expatinscotland · 27/05/2008 15:56

I'm going to start using the lines to all these 'if you're not supportive leave this thread' people.

Fuck off back to netmums .
