Foul language on Mumsnet…

Foul language on Mumsnet?

Having newly registered with Mumsnet I am dismayed, after perusing uTube and other forum sites where obscenities constantly pop up, to note use of foul language on this ?family site?.

I reported the swearing, specifically, where ?arseholes? was utilised as a reference to political parties.

The return I got from Mumsnet HQ was ??we don't think we
should be the arbiters of what people should find offensive and what
they shouldn't.? and ??We generally find it's better to let the boards self-
police??

May I engage you all in a quick survey?

Hands up all those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? as an offensive expression that should not be used on these boards??

Thank you?

Hands up those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? inoffensive??

Thanks?

Looks like the arseholes have it!

And I repeat,

Off you fuck, dearie.

Again,

Fuck Me, what an Arsehole. What a cuntish thread!

It's that boring troll who keeps starting the same unfunny thread

Philip Larkin - This Be The Verse

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

AIBU to follow the troll around posting this poem after her

Fucking hell is it not our right to deem ARSEHOLES as such??? I like the word ARSEHOLES a lot actually, i think it will be my word of the day today...

Personally, i dont think you can beat a good "bollocks"

ALFA,YADNBU

(you are being very fuckin unreasonable you arsehole)

fuckwit's a good one... as in you are one

actually you know what BoF - not read that poem since I was a teenager........it takes on a whole new meaning now I've got kids of my own ]

knobsack, cunt chops, wank stain....they are all good as well

Microbe, I don't like it either

After giving this much due thought and consideration (and indeed politely ignoring you posting this more than once) I have come to the conclusion that the only appropriate response is...

Fuck off.

HTH [passive-agressive]

Oh bollocks, can I be bothered to reply?

OK, yes I can. We're ADULTS for fucks sake! I don't go into the supermarket and ask where the sodding bread is, I don't tell the double glazing salesman at my door that he's an arsehole (even though he is), I can't tell Gordon Brown that he is one for his education policy but I can say it here, amongst other adults.

So I will. Gordon Brown is an arsehole. I can't find the sodding bread in Sainsburys and whats more I find your post bloody ridiculous. If you don't like what you read LEAVE! A couple of clicks and you'll be on Netmums, that might suit you better.

PS The entrance to your spot under the bridge can e found by clicking the button marked fuck log off.

lmao Vall

YABVU posting this duller than dull OP all over the site.

Yawn.

Have you tried Netmums or Bounty? Might suit you better, they'll probably call you an itch though.

Ewe oh i forgot about being an ITCH lol...

there is a woman on bounty whose name is cockfoster or something similar it always comes up **foster

i don't see the problem with swearing tbh...i mean we are among fellow adults lol

Dear me, a family site? Wouldn't have called it that myself - are you confusing it with something else?

I wouldn't be letting any children read it, that's for sure! Tis a great place to vent and swear the way you can't when you have little DC around - and if you don't like it then either piss off elsewhere or be studiedly polite yourself and close your eyes to all the "rudesbies" on here.

Really, how old ARE you? Are you Mary Whitehouse's spiritual conduit or something?

Mind you, I have to thank you for not using the term "pottymouth", which is worse than swearing any day of the week in my book!

Do fuck off please. Thank you.

You twat fuckwit, damnit, can't think of the right word.... oh yeah - ARSEHOLE!

Maybe you'd like Hunsnet - errr... Netmums better. Bye!!!

Tis not a family site....

"by parents for parents"

Personally I hate the word arsehole. I do however like a good fuck.

If you are offended have the balls to take it up with the poster at the time, don't turn it into a generic rant.

Was that suppose to be funny?

1/10 - must try harder.
