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!

Oooh sounds fab... with a feathery fascinator

bye bye hun xxxx

But next to him, you'd always look incredible, even on a bad hair day

I have a lilac number, with matching bag, shoes, short sleeve jacket and if it's a bit cool weather-wise they look great with my American Tan tights...

Would lokk simply lovely alongside his pringle in primary colours.

No takers for Little then?

AF - we'd upstage the bride, though, if we were both there
Are my chiffon tights not in vogue anymore, then?

AF - will you be my Maid of Honour? And Display - would you mind being Bridesmaid?

I was thinking something along these lines for you both

I was thinking this for me...

BelleDame - I am so relieved, I thought my role as bridesmaid would mean me having to wear some hideous dress and have to have stupid looking hair and naff flowers
I am so glad you won't put me through torture

They really knew how to dress bridesmaids in the early 80's....

I think taste and style should be the order of the day. Nothing but the best for you.

Your dress is a bit demure IMO.
Monsieur Chcukle might prefer you to lose the heels given his diminutive stature.

Hmmm, good point. What do you think about white Dr Marten boots? I'm quite a short arse though (oops, swore there but I don't think idontlikeit is still here so may have got away with it) as am only 5'5".

Hang on... we don't know which Chuckle it is, Barry or Paul...

Will you have this on your wedding cake. BelleDame?

One of them is quite tall.

I googled their names... honest.

ok, idontlikeit, off you fuck then

display!! I have a cracked rib - you've just put my recovery back at least a week.

shockers, I think I'm getting the short one...

is that who it is then, Vinegar?

Belle, I would be honoured < wipes away a tear >

what present would I get ?

and can I be godmuvver to your first child ?
I would faithfully promise to teach said child alllll that I know about life (and lots of fucking swear words)

I was thinking these for the hen night...

Um, which one is which? Barry or Pual?

I think Barry is the short one.

I'd like this
and this please
