to think some people on netmums should be polite?

[davidbowie]

I've only posted once so no doubt I'll be accused of being a troll out to cause trouble. I've been reading a lot of the threads and quite often people are outrageously rude to each other. Now if you don't agree what is wrong with saying in a polite way? Fairly often, very nasty name cally ensues. Do these people talk to each other like this in real life? Sorry but I do find it shocking. It's a shame when a post which could lead to a very good debate ends up with people swearing at each other.

PS, I'm nice too and don't think I've ever told anyone to fuck off.

[davidbowie]

Well you all seem to know each other, just I wouldnt speak that way face to face and its seems a bit off putting to newbies, and now Im hoping someone doesnt tell me to f off then

[BecauseImWorthIt]

I always thought you were a bitch, shiney. You and your haikus. Pretentious as well.

[mrsruffallo]

f off then

Because the thread was about talking properly and I admitted to dropping h's and t's. Next thing I was being attacked by 5 different people, who in real life wouldn't have said a word. I'm fuming over it again now!!!

whoisasking I wasn't talking about any particular thread

Quite agree. It is Netmums' accepted role in life to be soft and fluffy. If they fall down on the job- you go and tell them!

Meanwhile we will stick to our role which is to tell it like it is.

Thanks junglist, that makes sense I was v confused, had images of someone having some sort of speaking computer!

[whoisasking]

HAHA!

I actually do swear too much in real life. It's dreadful actually, and something I keep trying to stop doing, it's actually harder to kick than the old cigs.

Junglist, I've got a Cockney accent too and have had a few ...er...debates on here about it.
Link me to that thread!!

[EccentricaGallumbits]

i left netmums for this very reason. bunch of infighting, sniping, rude, vulgar beatches .
feel much more at home here.

[EccentricaGallumbits]

was that a bit libelous? am i in trouble?

[VinegarTits]

I am nice some of the time

[GypsyMoth]

Danielle on netmums is legendary....... You think it's nasty here? She comes on a netmums thread and it gets REALLY nasty!!

[junglist1]

I'm so sorry I can't link I can just about switch it on!! The gist of it was that I sound thick and uneducated and when I said I was doing a degree I was told unis have dumbed down. Then I started picking on people who were blasting me telling them about punctuation etc! And I called someone a name. I was livid!

[junglist1]

Oh and I'll look out for any similar threads in future so we can team up, my fellow cockney sparra!

[whoisasking]

I have a REALLY "common" Sarf East London accent. Why should I change the way I speak? It's a regional accent.

Grrrr, you're making me cross now junglist

[mistlethrush]

Shiney - who said I needed permission to leave!!! Anyway, I haven't left, I'm just visiting some other locations too...

[mrsruffallo]

You are quite right, whoisasking it is a regional accent but one that seems fair game to take the pee out of.

[junglist1]

How dare you be from Sarf? I'm from Norf Tottenham sides luv so don't test me or I'll rip you to shreds on here and I will WILL smile sweetly if I ever meet you for real OK!!??
