hm am i the only person who thinks this mumsnet is a tad bitchy? hm probably wrong thread topic but hey, seems i upset alot of people on here, am i the only one? or is this just how mumsnet works?

[welshbyrd]

made a comment on a thread, and i have to say it wasnt worded the way i meant it, and oml it was chaos. When i first joined, i opened a thread, and most of the replies barr a few were quite unkind, hmmmmm is i the only one with this problem? or is it a mumsnet thing?

lou please read the original thread and look at the context and the ignored apologies.

LackaDAISYcal so you think we are bitches then??

Don't take it personally. People are just expressing their opinions

oh FGS 2shoes, that isn't what I meant at all. Please don't put words into my mouth.

I know you didn't but look at the thread title.
(goes to bake a cake)

sometimes being "sorry" doesn't quite cut the mustard. that's life. as shineon says, move on, post on other topics, forum life moves very quickly.

and the op said "mumsnet is a tad bitchy" not that any individual poster was a bitch.

As someone who has been around here for a few years, I don't see anything wrong with that statement. MN is bitchy (it's what makes it different from fluffyhuns.com), but it's also intelligent, kind and caring and challenging and thought provoking.

any chance that cake is gluten free

It does make the apology seem slightly insincere to then start an AIBU thread off about the whole thing.

I can be a complete bitch when the mood takes me.

Yes Mumsnet is a Bitchfest...but they are fonts on a screen so get it into perspective and don't worry about it..

sorry i had to go out, has there been a link to the thread?

We know.

was my comment bitchy?

i referred to ts&p,in a kind of way...

fucking hell I've finally waded through the thread in question and tbh I think that the response to what you said was really really mild.
I can't believe you are so insensitive to rehash it in any form let alone to ask for sympathy.

Tit

Takes one to know one Pan

regardless of the original thread, i agree that it seems slightly weird to make another thread about it, to stir things up again

surely the apology would be taken less seriously as a result?

hmmmm its kicked off again , that context that has been copied and pasted on this thread has been by the poster done very cleverly. Its got a really bad part of what i typed, but not the whole post. This person has just posted one line of what i typed,a line that would enrage anyone, and i can assure all, that what i typed before and after that if read would not make it sound the way it has been copied and pasted in one line.
i neither implied any inderviduals as being bitchy? hmm unless someone is going to stragitically copy and paste something else ive typed, which again would look the way is wasnt meant.
As for my apologizies not being good enough, you know what i dont really care now. The majourity of the people who read original post read it in the way it was meant, however a few missed the point i was making and started kicking off, could these inderviduals not see like the others who read post, that it wasnt meant in theway some have taken it.
If others who have read the post, have commented, they didnt take the post in the bad way few inderviduals did.Then maybe these people need to lighten up and see like the other did, and not see it was meant as an offensive post.
P.s im done with apologizing, sorry but i feel ive explained, and others on my behalf[who also read post], but seems these inderviduals wont let up so / it. IT WAS NOT MEANT IKE THAT. And people reading the copied and pasted line put on this thread, please dont comment on half a sentace, when you never read the original post. Ever had someone walk in half way through a convosation and realised that the little bit they could have heard could have offended them?but infact had they heard the whole convo, they wouldnt have been. well thats what that copied and pasted line has been made to look.

and as for posting new thread, is that what mumsnet is for? if you have a problem, or what a moan to open a thread? and dont think i was being person al to anyone, just saying my views on mn have been bitchy? dont think im implied any inderviduals were bitchy

pmsl so now you want us to lighten up, with our un healthy children ffs

I think mumsnet can be a complete coven of bitchiness, I think in my time here I have been told that I am
a snob (they may have me there but I am never a snob about people)
malicious ( being totally not malicious that made me cry and I flounced)
ugly ( again they have a point but still very rude to say it)
crap mother
someone who is always whinging about how bad her life is ( I was going through crap but it has meant I no longer use this site for that which is bad because I have found this site supportive but good beacause it has made me deal with things)
Unstable ( they may have a point)
Too poor to have children ( that made me deregister)
I am going to end up in the poor house.

That is off the top of my head I am sure there are lots more.

The problem is that because we cant see each other and we only know little snippets of each others lives we loose the ability to self censor and say things we would never say in real life as we cant see how hurt the other person is getting.

However this site has also been invaluable when I moved down here the Dorset Mumsnetters appeared in force to help me out and support me and listen even though I may be someone who is always whinging. When I was in hospital both dp and I were overwhelmed by the support we were offered. Although one mumsnetter accused me of making it up which in the state I was in at the time really really hurt.

I have learnt to take the good bits and try not to let the bitch fest upset me too much.
