To be shocked by the nasty bullying style of some of the threads on MN.

[Dismayed]

Having just read the thread about whether or not we should be ok about male nusery workers taking DDs to the toilet I have to say I am completely shocked at the aggressive, bullying comments that the poor OP received. FWIW I agree that we should not discriminate against males working in childcare but think that a lot of the battering comments were frankly out of order! As I read the thread I had that sick feeling that I recognised from my schooldays when I witnessed someone being bullied! I'm new to MN and have found a lot of the info and threads helpful but am so disappointed that, instead of finding a source that I had hoped would be non-judgemental and supportive, I have just connected myself to more of that cynical nastiness that I am so fed-up with on fb and in the media!

I add 'able' on to loads of words, so I can imagine using 'compilable'. For example, my cd collection might be 'compilable' in the way that Jamie Oliver's toad in the hole is 'cookable'.

This is all your fault, Hully.

As per usual.

(They can't see me now.)

be careful under there, catinthehat had a incident earlier

(I saw that. It's fine now. I am wearing one of those car hanging christmas trees that is makeing me a bit nauseous, but getting rid of the odour)

I blame Eve.

(budge up then. I had to hide a thread earlier because I actually started frothing at the mouth. I think I might have been bullying someone. )

(am joining you under here.... how do you all type so fasy, have you got magic fingers? can you tell me where you get them from please) tsc i think you are a bit of a fucking cow to be honest............... shit she can see that

(hello mummag, it's buffy to see you old matey. Tell you what, we should probably all relocate to Pag's bush, it's a lot roomier)

TSC I don't think you look like a pregnant elephant.......a pregnant hippo maybe but not an elephant.

(oooh i heard that about pags bush............ive heard that alot)

the thing that gets my goat is the bad grammar and spelling, simply too numerous to mention. Do you actually speak english ?

Funny - that is an odd post on many levels:

1. Possibly English is not someone's first language.
2. Possibly they are dyslexic or just didn't enjoy the benefits of a good education.
3. Your own sentence is ungrammatical.

Have a flower and be more loving.

I don't feel loving I feel tired, tis Thursday. And anyway I am quite odd

And look!

1. Even your name is ungrammatical. Tsk.

Don't be odd and tired funny.

Share the love

I do speak english, but I retain the right to make up words as and when I feel like it. For example, the evil smell emanating from the ()'s is known in this house as a chillibumtagger. It's the kind of flatulence which will not let you leave it behind, but follows you as you attempt to shift the blame.

my name is NOT ungrammatical, how dare you. Funnys are in the garden

I will share the love when I can track down a red ds lite case, a game about raising monkeys that wear clothes and an Extra Thing for DS2's birthday

Then you need funnies. Like bunnies.

pag - i've been trying to track you down...

HG, you are bullying me and I am off to report this thread to Justine, she was on Woman's Hour today and seems in the right frame of mind for a fight.

noone bullies me, i just feel the love...... and seemingly pags bush
