Off for a little flounce.

So many good things about Mumsnet ruined by people who don't seem to be able to grasp the art of conversation, reading or comprehension.

So odfod to that side of Mumsnet! Sad to miss the good parts.

I just thought I’d be the first to say I’ve never heard of you. Grin

Now now.
This is flouncers corner, you know the rules.
You need a rage post detailing every issue you have.
Then a tacit agreement that all the internet are dicks.
Then you get the pithy, sarcastic see you in two weeks replies Wink

@Saucery

Oooh, not had a Flouncer’s Corner pop up for an absolute age!

I saw your name yesterday, but I can’t remember why.

Probably because I was having to argue with some absolute fucking half wits on a thread, who were in a rage because I took issue with when women make sweeping saying they prefer men to women cos wimmins so bitchy!

@TheQueef, I've rejoined as I wanted to give you full details! Wouldn't like to anger the goddesses of Flouncers Corner Grin

I've been on here for so many years. It's always the same issue. People don't read the thread properly and make ridiculous statements which prove it, then people will say day is night if it means they can have a dig at someone who is on the wrong side of the argument. Any attempt at anything other than the same old arguments is shot down.

Support on relationship threads from some people is actually them being massively controlling themselves; a total "my way or nothing" attitude.

I had one poster yesterday who I repeatedly asked, politely, to stop posting at me and she / he wouldn't stop because they had the classic Mumsnet blood lust. You don't agree with me and validate my weird views, so I will try to hound you off the thread.

So all these things considered, I think this place has sadly become a bit of a cess pit. It's a shame as some threads are so friendly and helpful, but it's ruined by a noisy, minority of overly aggressive bored people with not enough on and a big point to prove.

Ah, Dave, your namechange failed.

Hope that appeases the unwritten rules of Flouncers Corner!

And with that I bid you all adieu / bid you go fuck yourself to certain people (not on this thread).

Bye Mumsnet! It's been a mixed bag if I'm honest. I think my life will be significantly more pleasant without having to deal with the relatively small number of arseholes on here. Shame I miss out on the decent ones at the same time, but it's too often these days. So many dicks.

My male work colleague went on MN one night to see if there were tips for settling a windy colicky baby.

He was stunned by the aggression and bitchyness on the threads he chanced upon.

I’m used to it now but I was stunned too when on one of my first posts someone said I should have my face punched in. I reported and the post was removed. But really! I wasn’t even saying anything very controversial.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What was that I was saying about how people don't bother themselves to read and comprehend before they post????

Jesus, you couldn't make it up 😂😂😂

Thanks June, you made me laugh a lot there and proved I am right to be going. Thanks love

They said the rejoined to explain...
Proving the point no one reads the threads properly.

I agree op, yesterday there seemed to be a real nastiness on the site. I also asked a poster to stop talking to me and they kept on and on. Like no, just fuck off. Can't be arsed with it. The site used to be great but for the last few years it's gone downhill in a big way

Pretty sure you can't say "half wit" without getting bollocked.

Sorry about that Eliz. I've been here years and I do actually think it's got worse. I can take bitchy aggression (like you, I became used to it on here), but when it's misplaced bitchy aggression because people cannot fucking read, and then they argue back when you politely point it out...no. That's when conversation has died on here and it's actually just become a bunch of angry people ranting randomly about different things. A bit like being surrounded by people on hard drugs tbh. Not the happy loved up variety either.

Haven’t seen a flounce on here for years. (I have recently had a year or so off, mind)

Has anyone said ‘don’t let the door hit you on your way out’ yet? Tradition, innit.

The thing to remember is mnet is still the internet. We just have a better ratio here of sensible types you would actually bother with in rl.
Trouble is that attracts a fair few with an agenda to push along with the usual random cunts so sometimes it's overwhelming.
Have a few days off and come back to some sane topics to build up your tolerance again.
Don't let the bastards grind you down.
And as this is FC...

Well off you fuck then, whatcha waiting for a parade? You'll be back within a week....Smile

No, not the nicest choice of word there - my apologies.

Now will you be dishing out said bollocking? I'm ready for it. Be my guest Smile.

Hmmmm what shall I say instead? Wankers? Probably covers it. But doesn't matter, I won't be here after this thread because..well, see above.

Ah come on! At least "off you fuck then" or "don't let the door hit you on the way out". If you're going to be unpleasant at least you could put some more effort into it please Grin

I don't see the point in announcing the flounce lol. If you're going to do it.. Then just do it.

@FlouncerDave, Mumsnet is not an airport, no need to announce your departure!

Enjoy your time off and see you again soon.
