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.

I like bollocks instead of boll-ox. Some use bolleux. I am unsure about that one. I think that may be the term the posher people use or is the older people or the newer people or the bitchy people or the AIBU or YANBU?

Is that a word. I am here? Am I typing? am I listening to you tube? Am I causing problems? Should I not have posted? Should I not have said yes, or no and maybe?

Should I just sit on hands for a while?
