grrrrrrr cheapo journalism at it's best.

Glad to see that Leah has substituted in fake usernames and reworded. I don't object to this one at all

thought i didn't recognise any names.

actually I'm very very happy with that

what?
mn in the dm?
omg

Well they've shortened poster's names so they're not recognisable - must have taken a whole minute longer to write than last week's. And doesn't the thread as 'reported' seem to fall neatly into the dm's 'nanny state gorn mad' agenda? I remain disgusted by this whole thing.

As long as the names aren't recognisable (which they're not unless somehow she managed to pick a thread full of posters I happen not to have heard of) and she sticks to lucnhboxes / style / topics like that then I don't have a problem with it. I know it's the DM but advertising is advertising and it's not exactly the BNP newsletter.

She's not very imaginative with the names though, is she? Hands up who is Snooky?

It makes Mumsnet seem very dull though, that all we get worked up about is sandwich fillings....

Not so bad. I wonder if this column will attract more DM readers to MN?

I wish I could land an easy job like that!

What an anodyne representation of mumsnet. Hope it was worth it.

Truly meh-worthy, almost impressively so actually.

It is just incredibly boring - how on earth can she justify getting paid for lifting other people's words? Bizarre.

If she is going to change names though then I've got no issue with it - although it sticks in my throat to think that MN are associated with a paper as bad as the DM.

Shame the posts had nothing to do with the headline though!

Wow how many years at Uni did she do to learn to cut and paste other people's words? What a boring article!

dull, barely worth a blah

The best bit about the whole thing is the comment from 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells'

I like how Stella from Tunbridge Wells has decided from that thread that your children will turn into benefits cheats, although come to think of it, it seems such an extreme reaction, it might be a MN troll playing devil's advocate. Hmmm...I might sign up to DM comments and play too.

meh

Trolling on DM comment page? Damn fine idea!

Clearly it's a sweetener. There is no way such dire drivel would have been passed as fit for publication otherwise.

DMCLMB, I actually LOL at Stella's comment. Hysterical. Literally.

I had no idea that my DD would end up in jail (paraphrasing) for having a cheese sandwich everyday. May as well go out and spend the Uni fund on silly shoes then as my pandering to her makes the need for it defunct. Jimmy Choo here I come

Are we going to troll enmasse?

Barbara from Edinburgh?

Stella has brilliantly done a DM send-up. It's definitely superior trollage!

Come on - which of you was it?
