To Think That Some MNs Take Things To Far!

I am new to mumsnet (to finally getting the courage to post something)and I realise I might be in for a bit of a bashing but here goes:
I have been visiting the site for quite some time now, just reading about different problems and the advice that is given.
So far no problem.

That is until someone actually writes something that some of you disagree with, or you seem to just take the view that it is someone pissing about.
Now the problem with that it seems to me, is that a few of you seem quite thrilled to respond to these posts (I think thats what they are called) with lightening speed and seem to relish the fact that you can insult and abuse this post as long as it keeps you amused!

I even suspect that some MNs have one rule for some and another rule for others. How can anyone justify this? It seems very hypocritical of what the site is all about.
In fact, as I have read many different posts and learnt some of the more colourful nicknames I can see a sort of bullying going on! I am pretty sure some of you know this is true!

So, there it is, my first post, and I am actually nervous about the sort of responses I will get back.Lol.

Boco · 17/11/2008 10:43

Errrm.

No, but no hurry. Did you read it? I bet you didn't. You must read it and then send it back when you've finished.

ALl this Newbies and Oldies I couldn't tell you the difference. I just post when I disagree or agree with something regardless if your new or old. The only time I would know if you was new on mumsnet is if you put HI I am new to mumsnet.

ABloke · 17/11/2008 10:51

harley think about soup and confidence being in boots.
Well not soup and confidence in the boots.

Think of Soup, then think of boots.

I told you about soup. You told me about the boots thing.

< goes for a lie down >

juicyjolly · 17/11/2008 10:56

Eniddo.. I have seen other OPs being asked the same question, I assume because they settle into the site quite easily.

Not sure why you think I am somebody else, but I am sure over time you will realise I am just me.

What does 'in only 100 posts ' mean?

ABloke · 17/11/2008 10:57

Eniddo · 17/11/2008 10:58

juicyjolly · 17/11/2008 10:59

This is making me laugh now, soon it will be

'I'm just typing on my ...keyboard, at least I believe that's what they are called?'

'I am making a post from these so called 'words' as I believe some of you call them'

'I am staring at my computer 'screen' - is that what you mns call it?'

Ronaldinhio · 17/11/2008 11:06

no trouble knowing what an OP is though...?

juicyjolly · 17/11/2008 11:07

No..I am going to put my petticoat on and my drawers and then a nice warm muffler for this wintry day, actually.
