with the guardianista contingent and/or overly PC stuff. There are rarely discussions - just opinions - and there are more opinions of the above.
i think that MN raises the perfect parent syndrome to new heights. where its ok to culturally exclude your children from school - becuase not watching telly is better than having friends and nice childhood memories. to being trounced on( en masse not just one poster) for daring to say that breastfeeding during an appraisel wasn't appropriate - until mears said something similar.
on most issues i'm not even extreem but rather just plain or blunt.
But whats got to me recently is not people i have never heard of ( so this isn't a newbies spoil MN moan) but people i remember making badges for at last years xmas do. i respect others opinions and have often had mine changed on political or topical subjects due to intelligent debate. but thats very rare these days. in favour of blatent personal comments ( towards me and others) the belittling of opinions with a "oh custy ...!"
i thought it was just me. but is not. every other thread is just hysterical these days.
oh and just to answer the obvious questions.
- the point is i wanted to say it
- simply stating " oh custy" is not going to be very original or indeed appropriate - however expected in leiu if originality.
- no its not pmt or anything between the lines
