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!

Fran - you are a hideous wimp. Stand and fight woman.

Fractious.

Muddleduck? extra bit? Oh my I need to lie down. I am PMSL.

I demand more words from LMH. I want to live in her house.

Switch your computer off and do something else. But please don't whinge.

I agree, undomestic.

I have had 2-3 "discussions" this week alone where I have been surprised at some of the viciousness on here.

WE WANT LMH

WE DEMAND HER

WE NEED HER

WELL I DO

I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HER LANGUAGE

Hullygully, but them Scots are 'ard I tell you (apart from DH who gets regularly tongue lashed). If she pushes me though she's for it .

UH

If a thread has 900 posts then it has probably moved on from the OP.

not a weird mn rule - just normal rules on how conversations tend to work.

must typoe quicker

muyst tipsd whicker

Oh do give over Hully, believe not believe, what is it in here with saying everyone is lying. Its pathetic, purile and obtuse.

I did acknowledge it was not a known word, I will not point out your errors, why would I, it rude, belittling and plain bad mannered.

IF you can't be doing with reading all 900 posts, at least read the first and last pages (assuming you have it set on pages) so that you can see where the thread has meandered off to. Especially when the OP has done a massive about-face, realised that she was being completely unreasonable and apologised for everything, it is a bit shite to pile in with "only read the op, OP you are being a pile of wanktoss and you should immediately fuck the fuck off" or other such venom.

LMH - I'm not trying to point out your errors. I always act with love (see upthread). I just love your different words and want to know more of them.

Pretty please?

LMH please lighten up you really do sound ever so slightly precious and uptight

Those shoes were well horrid

I truly feel I am a better person for this thread.

but LMH - surely you meant compliant, not compilant/compilable? didn't you?

No, they have differetn words in her house. They say piece for sandwich. I want more words.

my mum makes up words.

still don't know for sure which ones are real.

Frangible

which shoes?

the fat barmaid shoes

ahh those shoes.

I bought the nice ones.

is it against the rules to bring tiny bits of other threads onto other threads?

bahookie

there's a good old scottish word for ya

and oxsters

and baffies

it's like a whole nother language innit

sse tyeping quiker now
