People who post on these - you are aware that your posts can be read by people who aren't "on" your threads, right?

Because some of you are pretty offensive and dim otherwise.

BENDYB · 26/02/2007 13:04

IntergalacticWalrus · 26/02/2007 13:06

Ok, lets chill, man

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2007 13:18

Thats cool. I'm happy to.

But, I dont like being quoted as saying "fuck off" when in fact I said "piss off" and I'd like it noted (including the apology that followed it) please

Not so bothered about being called names, says less about me, tbh, but as long as its on the thread in question, and not all over the board. It's a shame that folk cant open their minds a tad, and think about all the other posts I make that are lovely, fluffy, helpful etc and not just focus on the odd one or two. Oh, and all the funny ones I make too

Love me love me love me love me love me love me [needy]

I didn't start this thread because of the so solids one though. I hadn't been back to it to see if I'd been slated - I was going to and forgot.

I also was NOT offensive in the post I did make on that thread, nowhere NEAR as offensive as you've been BendyB.

Jillyadoodledoo · 26/02/2007 13:48

JADD

The so solids crew have got hold of totally the wrong end of the stick - this was NOT a dig at them - it was a general point. If it had been a dig, I'd have linked to their thread - no?

Hunkerdave et al - please let's all take a chill pill now. We are all so over it. Slanging matches are not good for anybody.
Sending lots of pink and fluffy love to you allxxxxxxxxxx

MyNamesNotDaveItsRodney · 26/02/2007 14:06

I love you all

Swizzler · 26/02/2007 15:56

Right, having vowed not to post on this yesterday...

Sticking up for Bendy and Youngmum, I assumed this was about the Oct thread as well, as Hunker had posted on it. The impression I got from the original posts on this thread were that the post and prenatal clubs were all a bit sad, unlike the 'proper' threads on MNet. Now saying things like that IS a bit bitchy, and seems to be happening a lot at the moment (e.g criticism of the Bar and Coffeeshop threads). I'm all in favour of controversial threads, but surely these more social threads are good as well? I've found the pre- and post-natal threads invaluable, esp as I don't knwo many people who have babies so am pretty clueless most of the time . They've been a great support for me, no matter how pink and fluffy they are. I can think of other threads on here with the same value.

No, we don't tend to be 'howwid', but that's because we've supported each other through pregnancy, birth and beyond and genuinely like each other (unless they're all bitching behind my back on another thread ).

Criticism is fine, but there are better ways of going about it. A bit of tolerance for others wouldn't go amiss.

And I'm not defending the bad language, but I was pretty angry last night as well and might have posted something I regretted. Perhaps we ought to have a time delay when posting?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2007 16:16

Time delay is often a good idea for certain times of the month and stuff....

Tolerance goes both ways though, and, I have to say, I'd rather folk came and spoke their mind on the thread in question and then left it there, rather than slinking off elsewhere and bitching.

Where are those pills.....?

Rhubarb · 26/02/2007 16:19

As I said earlier down in the thread before it got soooooooooo nasty, hunker did imply that this thread was about the postnatal threads and she did say that some of them were offensive and dim.

Now I'm no psychologist but I do think that is like holding up the Chelsea strip in front of an Arsenal fan.

Some threads have been incredibly bitchy and over sensitive of late, not just on the post natal threads and I do think it unfair to single them out.

If they were bitching about other Mumsnetters then that too is unfair. But I do think that if you are unhappy with postings you have 2 choices, to report them or to reply on the relevant thread. Starting a new one just causes more trouble.

I hope everyone is able to shake hands and agree to call it a day over this.

Swizzler · 26/02/2007 16:20

But where was the slinking? Certainly not on the Oct thread. There were a few comments (incl mine) on the odd postings (and I thought they were a bit odd, though I cd be wrong) but there wasn't anything underhand. Or have I missed something? It's not as if we started another thread on how strange people were being ... hang on ...
