AAAArrrggggggggggggggggghhh!

Right, sorry, move along now, have screamed and got it off chest. Actually it is mainly one particular poster who is irritating me with saccharine tweeness.

OP posts:

If it makes me an MN heroine, I am prepared to confess to it being me.

YABU.
It is not YOUR Mumsnet, it is everybodys and we are all different.

lucykate · 09/03/2010 13:04

tbh, i couldn't give a toss if anyone found my posting style irritating. their problem, not mine.

Oblomov · 09/03/2010 13:07

what a piss boring thread. was all excited. looking forward to a right good fight. or atleast an analysis of posting sins.
got neither.
yawn. yawn.

PuzzleRocks · 09/03/2010 13:07

bernadetteoflourdes · 09/03/2010 16:15

Definitely overuse the.Make too many typos. I thhink that this is Cuntish Trollgate (pinched that from an old thresd snd love it!) are you a cuntish troll or just a cunt? Or are you just a SWALK and BIg Bunny Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

AnyFucker · 09/03/2010 16:30

bernadette, I would like to congratulate you on shoe-horning in the biggest number of irritating posting styles into one post

< awards MN honour >

sausagepastie · 09/03/2010 16:34

i saw Jesus in the ceiling once. That was some cunning artex skill going down. we have moved now. He didn't come with us.

daftpunk · 09/03/2010 16:35

Bloody hell bernadetteoflourdes, how has someone so interesting escaped my attention....?

CrowAndAlice · 09/03/2010 16:36

We have a dragon in our woodgrain....

bernadetteoflourdes · 09/03/2010 17:13

@AnyFucker Yup that is my irritating style and can also do a nice line in honey sweet saccharine if called for. I think the op just wanted to start a particularly nasty sort of Chinese Whispers, and I can see (as a relative newbie) that mnet is a real community and that a lot of people could get upset and a possible complex about this ( I know I have). Overly sweet poster IF YOU ARE OUT THERE don't worry the op is having a bad day and she might start an apology thread. dont hold your breath though!

bigbobblehat · 09/03/2010 17:31

what a vile thread. I don't just mean the op either.

EccentricaGallumbits · 09/03/2010 17:34

I love you all. even the ones who irritate me a bit.

(((hugs))) and xxxxkissesxxxx

EggyAllenPoe · 09/03/2010 17:36

i hope its me

flatters self that I have that level of visibility on here<

though there are lots of posters that annoy me for various reasons, that has more to do with me being a hormonal old baggage who is currently not having much fun than those particular posters. After all, tis just wors on a screen, and if you get too het up about it, youre bonkers as conkers.

Are you also a hormonal old baggage in want of entertainment OP?

EllieMental · 09/03/2010 17:37

I have jesus in my pocket.

EllieMental · 09/03/2010 17:38

let's have a sing song

sausagepastie · 09/03/2010 17:56

I agree it's a nasty thread. Sometimes people seem to take any excuse to have a truly vicious go at someone, and the OP didn't deserve the absolutely revolting comments thrown at her.

It really shows the underbelly of some of us when we let rip like this. Deeply unpleasant.

Confuzled · 09/03/2010 18:01

WTF? 28 pages because someone said an utterly unidentifiable MN had a posting style that annoyed her? Don't we all have someone with a posting style that does that, or several someones? How does that make her vicious or a cunt or any of the other thoughtfully reasoned descriptors?

This thread is insane. This is not, as it sometimes is on MN, a good thing.

Where's a story about a penguin sanctuary when you need one.

FabIsDoingPrettyWell · 09/03/2010 18:02

YANBU to be irritated.

YABVU to start a thread about it.
