To think sometimes mumsnet sucks

[VeraDuckworthsHandbag]

Now I know it is just a bunch of people on the WWW but in the time I have been on here I have been given some great advice, seen others given great advice , and support, and hope and friendship and on the whole I think most people here are decent.
I know everyone is different and everyone has the right to their own point of view but sometimes just sometimes it gets so hypercritical I could scream.

A mumsnetter who's husband is having an affair is joined in the Other woman bashing, but a mums netter who is about to embark on or is having an affair is given support.

A person who has a husband or partner going to jail is given support and of course he is judged innocent

Then there is the great mumsnet get out of jail free card depression.

But when it really becomes quite sick is on days like today when someone in the public eye dies and holier then thou posters start dancing on the grave.

All you people bashing Micheal Jackson today should be ashamed as he was never convicted of anything, there was no proof he had done anything wrong but in true Jade goody style it starts and people show their sick side.
Everyone thinking he was a perv, can you hand on heart say your partner has NEVER looked at something child related on the internet? Now as you all say not my man just think about it, you do not know.

How do you know when a mumsnetter comes on and says their partner /parent what ever has died and we all go so sorry thinking of you, that that dead person was a good person? You don't but you say sorry for the familys loss.

The same people who have a go today will be the ones who say "oh no you can't hang people" the sort that defend pond scum like Sharon Matthews mother because she was "depressed" or stick up for the dirty fat bitch on wifeswap cause "it is sociality to blame that she was too lazy to get her fat arse out of bed and feed her child anythink better then crisp and not hers"

In the rush to be the most PC person on the board you lose sight of the truth, and sometimes the truth is not PC.

If MJ had been married to a mumsnetter the threads today would be so so different, and anyone who thinks not is deluded

too far

PP...from Scrubs. Or was your grin acknowledgement of the seperating of one syllable being a cap tip to him???

"Everyone thinking he was a perv, can you hand on heart say your partner has NEVER looked at something child related on the internet? Now as you all say not my man just think about it, you do not know. "

"Now look I have NEVER said all men look at kiddie porn, or that most men do, I have said you can NEVER say for sure that someone has not. The point I was trying to make was that before you all jump on the grave of a dead man calling him a pedophile you need to think. He was never convicted of any crime, you do not know if he did anything wrong and NO ONE ( and I am sorry for those of you think you know it all) NO ONE knows for 100% that someone you know would not look at this type of filth."

Actually, what you said is that we do not know if our men are paedos or not.

A fairly big statement to make. I agree about not verbally abusing the man, I don't see the point in hatred. Hatred of another, even if that person is dead, is a vile emotion to have, even more so if you didn't know that person.

So there, I agree with you, haters are vile people.

However "How do you know when a mumsnetter comes on and says their partner /parent what ever has died and we all go so sorry thinking of you, that that dead person was a good person? You don't but you say sorry for the familys loss." this little gem - just who were you thinking of here? Because I know one Mumsnetter whose dh died and one one who found her mother dead - are you seriously saying that because we don't know the person who died we should just go "yeah whatever, he/she might have been a bad person" ?

Do you always go around thinking that everyone is evil?

What about you? Are you the only good person left? The 'Saviour' of the World?

Is your name Jesus?

well they're deleting MJ threads except legit ones

So your flounce will disappear into the ther

buit like you

Hurrah! says I

i know that vera will be back

she always pops up to cause strife

mark my words

People who flounce always come back in my experience, they can't help themselves.

I have to admit here that the depression comment made me think it was you too, DP.

I apologise for that but wanted to post in the hope that you will consider why others may think that.

Oh and yes I absolutely am 100% confident that my DH is not into child porn.

I note that, before flouncing, Vera was too cowardly to face those she's offended with her comment about depression.

Well - I can't say I expected any better of her.

myredcardigan....thank you.

i know i have said some controversial things on here...but i can't have a situation where everytime a thread is started like this, people assume it's me..that isn't fair.

at least you, expat, and ltos have had the decency to apologise....some posters on here seem to think i'm a made up persona..some kind of computer game with no feelings...i feel things just like anyone else.

snigger at the idea of MJ being married to a mumsnetter. Can you imagine the threads that she could have started?

DP though it didnt occur to me it was you, it's called setting a precedent and only time and a lack of firestarting will clear it.

Stayingsunny I noted that also.... OTOH i've been n the receiving end of enough depression is all in the mind threads before to not care. And the memeorabloe occasion when someone laid into DH for being a lazy goodfornothing unemployed when in fact he had two jobs LOL (MN did delete)

I'velearned thats oemtimes people won't listen

peachy..yes i know.

i'd never used chat sites before i joined mumsnet..and i don't use any others now...never had facebook or anything like that so i'm not really sure how far i can go? ...i like to swear sometimes, i like to discuss controversial issues...can you recco me any websites that might suit me better?

I only do MN DP, and a carnival locked thing and thats boring DH likes

swearing is fine, it's almosyt a muist on MN. I just think you need to think more about your wording. Instead of AIBU to think X, try 'Is X an issue when doing Y'.... so much less offensive.

I don't like should equal 'whilst I eprsonally am not a fan of X, I understand other peoples POV'

I ahve the opposite issue to yu: I don'tr sat what i think half the time for fear of upsetting people. Tryiong to stop doing that ATM, would you like a loan of some excessive guilt eprchance? makes it all easier

don't agree op

....i always want to type..

"why are you talking such wank you fucking loser, you wouldn't know a decent conversation if i rammed one up your arse"

...would that be wrong?

Would entirely depend on whom started the thread dp

But generally in MN speak that translates into

Fuck off to bounty then

I understand

(and ys I know youre taking the piss out of me,at least In think you are, but I cant be aresed to rise to it)

peachy..i'm not taking the piss...i like you, if i didn't i wouldn't be talking to you...trust me.

Well goddam you now everyone else on MN will ahte me

I like livejournal daftpunk, especially the snark communities. I sometimes have trouble reigning my more rapid arguing in when I come here.

...

..and i really did wink at you..

rabid even.

oh thanks morloth....will check that out

I did miss the wink DP I confess

Tis the blasted repetitive music from the Wii DH is us9ing, burning my brain so it is

Just be aware that they don't tend to play nice like Mumsnet.
