To think sometimes mumsnet sucks

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

Do we play nice?

Hmm, I know enough people like that in RL, that's enough for me!

Peachy it is one of the reasons why I think posting anything really personal anywhere online is a really really bad idea. I am like "ARE YOU MAD? DO YOU KNOW THE SORT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT THERE?"

I found Mumsnet by following a link on a very nasty website indeed.

This is a weird thread...

It covers sooo many topics I dont know where to start

  1. did you just want to start an MJ thread hoping mnhq wouldnt notice??
  1. you have no right to say that I or anyone else doesnt know their partner. I do know my dp and I am 100% certain he doesnt do any such thing

3.depression is not a get out of jail card.. its a serious illness that if you have ever suffered from you wouldnt make crass remarks like this

  1. As for sympathisng with other mnetters who have been bereaved. I dont know where to start.
Just over 5 years ago my little boy was stillborn. I tried counselling but couldnt get on with it. Friends and family were great but there comes a point when you have to stop dumping on them. Then just over a year ago a very brave lady came on mn and told us her daughter was stillborn. From this brave post , there grew a community of bereaved mummies, some newly bereaved some bereaved many years ao.But we all walk the same crappy path and we are there to pick each other up when we stumble

I now have somewhere I can say things that sound mad to people who have never been in my situation but I know these ladies understand

PeachyTheRiverParrettHarlot · 26/06/2009 20:26

Wellt ehre'sloads about me around though I keep more back these days and my profile was cut right back recently after a worrying thread

daftpunk · 26/06/2009 20:47

morloth...sounds good, i don't like playing nice all the time.

peachy...why will the rest of MN hate you...because you're talking to me?

starkadder · 26/06/2009 21:42

Ridiculous OP and would not have bothered to post at all but wanted to say to Frasersmummy - thank you for your post, which was sensible, well written, honest and reminded us of what can be outstanding about MN.

frazzledgirl · 27/06/2009 09:51

OP, you had the ghost of a point until you posted that utter crap about depression and MNers not being able to say whether their OHs were looking at child pics on the sly.

Then you were outed as a loon and a fool.
