..to really take a dislike people who I only know as paragraphs on a webpage??

[thinkaboutthepepilepticdogs]

I've namechanged for this, and won't name any of the MNetters that I'm referring to (so please don't either!). BUT, do you ever find the same MNetters on threads you are commenting on - and they always disagree with what you think??

This seems to happen to me alot and I find myself really disliking them, which is ridiculous. Sat here on my computer, they aren't even real people, just paragraphs of text on the screen so how can I dislike them so much??!

Am I the only one that gets this? Or are there more of you out there that are just as irrational as me?

grreensleeves..

you always do this to me....drag things around mumsnet....why do you do this..?

Daftpunk you know that you do and tbh I dont think you believe half of what you type, noone dislikes that many people.

I don't think I dislike any mumsnet posters, I sometimes dislike their views or the fact that some posters rarely post anything positive, they just stand "on high" pissing over people's lives and worries. But then if they need to do that there must be something wrong in their real life so I tend to feel for them.

Anway back to my garden

I think it was you who drew me on this

I posted "no, I don't think so dp" or something like that"

you wanted me to elaborate, so....

i like to get my oar in nursery threads as a mum who slams her offspring into nursery and likes to leave em with reprobate staff

the representative of the avaricious career-me-me mum against the i havent had a holiday in 7years and knit my own tampons and sew hair shirts in my free time mum

for balance y'll understand
ying and yang

oh has it gotten all irascible?squabbling on a i dislike folk thread

how very ironic

ok greensleeves...you tell me what i think...as you seem to know me better than i know myself.....come on..

there you go again

who is dragging who?

No of course it's not unreasonable to take a dislike to someone you know only as a paragraph on the interweb.

Particularly if they personally insult you or offer opinions about your life/ views/ attitudes based on how they have interpreted your posts (not even your posts, but their interpretation of them). Or if they keep popping up on threads and you only ever notice them winding people up or saying really stupid things.

Conversely it's not unreasonable to take a liking to someone based on the cut of their gib on the interweb as well. But I don't think you take a liking to them just because they express views you agree with, I have got on v. well with lots of people who I totally disagree with on some issues, but it's the way people express their views which matters I think, not actually what their views are in the main.

I'd make nurseries compulsary scottish.

Speaking as a rabid Tory myself, I can confirm that daftpunk's views are certainly not 'normal for Mumsnet'.

Not that uncommon IRL, but rather brave on mumsnet.

Lol at scottishmummy's last thread.

I always have my say on the parent and toddler parking spaces thread, as I park in those spaces and commit the following crimes (a) parking on my own (b) parking with a teenager (c) have a red 2 seater convertible.

I must inspire a lot hatred on those threads

LOL compulsory nursery a very good idea.make dem children graft hard for their boden and white company clobber. know the value of hard work and all that

given they are strangers to me anyhoo shouldnt be so hard. wee folk can fit nicely into cramped spaces us adults cant eg heating ducts for cleaning

horah!great idea

i am getting so pissed off with this...this is what i've said;

i don't think gay men should adopt...that doesn't make me homophobic

i think the BNP should be allowed to speak in public without being attacked...i don't think that because i'm in the BNP, i think that because this is a democracy..

i didn't think carol thatcher should have been sacked from the one show.

classic MN AIBU irascible squabbling
be thefaces next i expect

I don't think your views can be comprehensively summed up in one post dp

bit disingenuous that

but if you want to discuss yourself, why not start a thread inviting people to do just that?

agree about Carol Thatcher tsc

also that 'homosexuality is wrong', any non-vanilla sex is 'disgusting', etc., etc.

I'm sure there is more, but it certainly isn't 'normal for mumsnet'.

why on earth would anyone want to make NURSERIES compulsory!!?? none of my 5 have ever set foot in one!! and never will...

It's irrelevant whether you or anyone else calls you homophobic DP. Some of the opinions you post on MN are offensive to many of us. Us here, regardless of what peop-le think in RL. You have every right to post them but don't be surprised when people make judgements about you from them.

someguy..tbh, some of the threads i've read on here...i'm glad i'm not a "normal" mumsnetter..

This is like a microcosm of MN being played out... it's spectacular!

I can only watch with awe...

PixiNanny "The bickering is entertaining, if you aren't involved in it, I learnt my lesson on that one very quickly! :P"

Oh no PixiNanny, the bickering is even more fun if you are involved. I sometimes argue the exact opposite of what I actually think just for the hell of it.

I'm not judging you by saying that, daftpunk, just an observation in response to the, in my view, correct statement by greensleeves that "no, I don't think there are" people like you. Which you seem now to be agreeing with.....
