Mumsnet behaviour-is it a police state?

[talktalk]

Hello, I've been lurking on Mumsnet for some time now but finally decided to post having been horrified at the reception that some people have received.

I always assumed that, within reason, mumsnet would be a place for parents/carers to come and, mostly anonymously, discuss their concerns. Over the last few weeks I have seen some ghastly behaviour from mns against innocent posts.
Are some of you out there assuming the mantle of "mumsnet police" and if so should you not announce that fact?

Why are people so aggressive? I've researched some of the more aggressive posters and it seems that there is a pattern to their behaviour.
If you disagree with a post or challenge its viewpoint perhaps you should just make it known and move on-berating people for their view or concern seems wrong to me.

There are lovely people on mumsnet and its such a shame that there are others who seem to get too busy and bully people into submission when they don't agree with them

what is this 50 cents stuff?

as far as I understand from this thread, certain english people want to say 50 cents like americans, even though this is completely meaningless cos you arent in the euro, so you dont have 50 cents in uk...is that correct? what on earth has american speak got to do with english class anyway?

He's a rapper NightyNight......

Or are you joking...?

no Im not joking
but Im a single mum of 4 with a f/t job, so I dont have much time to watch the telly.

sounds like I am well on my way to being qualified to be a judge then.

But, you have the internet obv......no? AND four kids!

don't talk VVV just SHOOT

bang bang

why on earth would I look at rap music websites?

and my children are too young to know about stuff like that.

quite so, Nightnight you are missing NOTHING
you should be proud
rap music is crap anyway
except Eminem, he's good

Tu Pac was cool - RIP

No, HC, Eminem is shit.

(GS, let it drop, after all, harpsi thinks Pete Doherty is a misunderstood waif with genius tendencies)

Not too keen on Eminem, bit too much of a hater for my liking

The big joke in that States was 'OnePac' instead of 'TuPac' b/c of that time he got shot in the groin . . .

I rather like Eminem too

ah now Eminem is a lyrical genius ladeez
e.g.
you don't wanna F with Shady
Cos shady will fkn kill you

Oh, yes, Hunker, I'd forgotten about that. She must be one of these women who have a blind spot where really vile men are concerned

I like Eminem. Have his 'Curtain Call'. He's got some good songs on there that he wrote for his daughter, Hayley.

DH likes his tattoo of Hayley on his right upper arm. He wants one of DD1 like it on his right and DD2 on his left.

actually I have fanbloodytastic taste in men
I am notorious for it, as it happens
you will note I am not going out with Pete D though he, too, is a lyrical genius

lyrical schmyrical

you just want to get into his knickers

Pete is just a greasy smackhead.

Ah, but have you seen him play live? He is magic. Very charismatic, very sexy. But only on stage while performing. And if push comes to shop, I probably prefer Barat.

er, that should be "shove", not "shop".

yes stiletto me too, about bharat that is

I go away for the weekend, come back and this is still going on!

Thanks Custy btw!
