To think that people shouldn't use the *F* word on Mumsnet

[Mulanmum]

No doubt a bunch of smart alecs are going to tell me to F* off but ...

Why do some MNetters feel the need to use obscene language on here? Are they too inarticulate to express themselves without foul language? I started a thread on another topic, moving along nicely then a prolific poster told us to "all f* off". Why do that on a forum that is set up primarily to be friendly and supportive?

Just leave the foul language off MumsNet.

mulanmum are you like this in rl? "carry on"?! , thanks for the permission.

I swear sometimes. on here I mean.

I have stopped now as I cannot access MN from here if there are naughty words.

MulanMum I found your post more offensive then someone telling me to FUCKOFF.

Your a bit of a stuck up snob Maybe you should fuck off back to your one child family topic bored and let us sad pathetic people carry on bitching

LOL Craggy. Does your work block swearwords

Oh dash! Will you purleeese stop swearing?

I just got knocked off, again.

I may swear, just to see if ICT are on their toes.

fuckers

If it's 'water of a ducks back' MulanMum, why did you feel the need to start a AIBU thread on it in the first place?

(And I'm still sure I read you swearing on another thread!)

LMFAO Craggy lol.

Good point TheInvisibleSpookDidIt

I think it should be changed to AIBFU

Rofl Summat!!!

I don't see any conflict between being "friendly and supportive" and swearing like a trooper . Completely unconnected aspects TBH from my point of view.

DL what was that Thread your talking about about

Dandy - yes a post of mine was deleted. Someone had asked an AIBU and I replied that she was always "whinging" about her kids. Which she was. She's a prolific poster on MN and some of her friends (if you can have friends on an online forum)reported the post and it was deleted. I queried this and, in a polite and pleasant exchange of emails with MNHQ, they explained their policy. No problem. So in theory I could complain about Pingping saying to me "Your a bit of a stuck up snob Maybe you should fuck off..." and it would be deleted. But I shan't because I think she's demeaned herself with her post.

And I totally agree with your last paragraph.

I do agree with op

i DO occasionally use the f word but on mumsnet it is used in an 'i am bigger than you are 'way imo

the same with the c word

REALLY not clever

This thread is so ridiculous it's funny.

Threads like this were meant to rip the piss out of.

maybe people aren't using fuck or cunt or any other swear word to be big or clever, though, RO.

maybe they just want to be crude.

i dont even like lmfao

i am not a prude

i hate baba, LO, hun, babydancing, tickers and avatars.

but the new Pink song 'So What?' is pretty good .

Oldies on mn have no problem with mouthy newbies, it's the thick unimaginative and boring ones that are ruining it.

Like this nitwit for eg (mulansmummy), if she was a proper mner she would post her op, realise it was pointless and either a)feck off to netmums/bounty ect or b)realise that she is being uptight and that trying to be supercilious and patronising to a group of well educated and informed women who want the freedom to swear is pointless and she better just join in. [passive aggressive ]

applauds Carmenere.

you're fucking brilliant!

I find it strange that someone who appears to have been around for less than a month should feel she can dictate to those of us who have been around for years.
If you can't stand the heat, and all that....

i like using the word fuck on mn. and shitty wanky bollocking knob jockey. i dont swear in rl (especially when ds is around) so i refuse to stop on the one place i can be me and not someones mum, wife or boss. so there.
