Don't get me wrong, I think that there are some lovely, really supportive people on here as well.

Is it just me though who thinks that there is quite a lot of bitchiness and nastiness that goes on here on a fairly regular basis?

Oh, the irony of someone starting a thread to bitch about people being bitchy.

Someone needs to get out more.

Why are you all even responding to this? You're playing into her hands and almost proving her point.

Pointless thread

Were you behind yesterdays thread "MN is poo" which was started off pointless and developed into bitchy and nasty? Thankfully it got pulled.

Highlander · 28/05/2008 15:25

thanks to MN, I find myself thinbking of popcorn a lot these days. So DH made some at the w/e. Ooh, damn nice it was too..........

Tortington · 28/05/2008 15:25

lot of these lately - maybe theres something to it?

brightongirldownunder · 28/05/2008 15:26

Is anyone taking this seriously?!!! Lifes too short.
Mumsnet is entertaining, helpful and I agree NJM full of lovely kind people. Thats why we all log in every day.

colacubes · 28/05/2008 15:27

Aye at times certain mns, like to bitch, they have their little mn mates and will turn and attack like a pack of rabid dogs!!

So if that happens give him a kick, all virtually of course, and if they say something hurtful, so what, its not real, dont take it to heart, its a womans world on here, and women are the biggest bitches going, so its par for the course with some mns.

brightongirldownunder · 28/05/2008 15:28

And, by the way, I do believe we all have a little bitch in us...

VictorianSqualor · 28/05/2008 15:29

One thing I have noticed about bitchiness on MN it seems to be at the same time as the real heartstring tugging threads, MN is either middle of the road, or wonderfully nice and extremely bitchy at the same time, maybe the bitchiness is just a result of people's emotions running high on the 'nice' threads?

Almost as if you go on a thread that shows such great support and someone really needing help, that when we see someone moaning and whinging on about nothing really, (MiL is a bitch but helps me loads/DP hasn't washed up but I don't do feck all anyway type thread) that we can't be bothered wit the bollocks and speak, possibly, quite harshly.

You said it VS - but thats just a representation of what goes on around us all the time, surely?

BoysAreLikeDogs · 28/05/2008 15:33

I can be a bitch, mostly though my innate halopolisher shines through I can't be bothered.

JodieG1 · 28/05/2008 15:34

I've read loads of supportive posts on here and I don't think it's full of bitches at all.

Some of the threads I read overwhelm me with people's generosity of spirit, money and support for each other. It actually gives me hope for human nature when there is so much bad news in the world.

brightongirldownunder · 28/05/2008 15:34

NJM are YOU Graham? This thread's weirding me out..

dizzydixies · 28/05/2008 15:40

many thanks notjustmom I think really since a baby, the fostercarer report for my parents stated

'dizzydixies is a bright and intuative child but will never be a lady'

no if that didn't set a standard am not sure what did
