Anyfucker???

[TimeForACHEEKYWineOrTheBottle]

Some of your posts are hilarious specially the one on the gag reflex post - my mum pukes everyday when brushing her teeth cos of her gag reflex.

You seem funny and love reading your posts :)

Oh this is NOT an arselicker thread - i dont know anything about AF! apart from she has good advice on everything

Group = search party. I got distracted

If her lap top should ever die, we in her fan club should have a whip round.

She says it like it is. She reminds me of my mum (although she might be younger than me, she's wise)

(I've given up the Dickens and Iris was naff)

I dislike the way her default response to any relationship problem is to tell the plaintiff woman that her other half is a wanker/ar&ehole/git/mansplainer/abuser/manipulative idiot etc etc and that she must leave him.

I just wonder whether her attitude stems from being really badly hurt in the past or whether she was really badly hurt in the past because of her attitude?

I really like AF she has been very supportive though some tough times in my life in the past few months.

Waves I heart AF banner

pascoe clearly I can't speak for AF but as a woman who can read between the lines myself, the attitude comes from years of living on the planet and engaging with men and woman on many levels. You just learn, it doesn't mean you have hurt or been hurt.

It's called wisdom

perfumedlife - no, her attitude is overwhelmingly negative yet it's impossible for every woman's complaining post on MN to be wholly accurate and for their other halves to be wholly to blame.

So, her contributions are biassed and unhelpful quite often.

Disagree, lots of posters have incredibly negative situations that they have suffered for a long time before posting. Very often the best advice is to end things. That can't be dressed up.

Remember, people post on Relationships when the shit hits the fan, not usually when alls well. Maybe you have missed the posts where her advice is for the op to pull it together, pehaps you are slacking?

I was wondering which twunt would come along and mess this thread up, and had one or two names in mind...

Sad to see I was right

I think AF is wise when it comes to relationships, she has advised me, listened or 'read' my posts, she has always been fair and always says what she thinks... how can that be bad...

I believe Anyfucker is quite open that she usually sides with the woman.

This is a parenting site and the women heavily outnumber men by about 50,000 to 1 it seems so it is not surprising really.

One of the problems with MN 'ethos' is that if someone posts something contrary to the prevailing view being expressed, they are rounded on and insulted.

Now, I am not fretting about a bunch of strangers on an internet website - sticks and stones etc...(besides, I'm ridiculously over-confident that I out-earn everyone on this thread to date, combined...) - I just think more would be gained if people were permitted to expressing contrary views.

There are no doubt potential posters out there that are put off by such harpy-like behaviour.

Oh I doubt that about your earnings pascoe ! But it's a ludicrous thing to say, because you have no idea what people earn and it's irrelevant to anybody's esteem apart from yours, it would appear...

These threads, however well-intentioned, are a bad idea. There will always be kind remarks and constructive comments, but they provide a vehicle for nasty, spiteful posters who need an internet forum to say what they would baulk from saying to the subject's face.

AF had the prescience to say that it would go pear-shaped and I'd like to suggest the OP asks for the thread to be deleted.

This will not end well thats for sure.

Aye ok pascoe, What does posters earnings have to do with their ability to offer advice and sympathy?

I always write as I think, got me in trouble before, but wouldn't stop me doing it. It's called having the courage of your convictions.

(and I bet you have a 14inch dong too )

besides, I'm ridiculously over-confident that I out-earn everyone on this thread to date, combined...)

Jesus tapdancing Christ, who gives a shit?

Anyway, in my short time here, I have seen that AF does NOT always side with the woman.

Also, as others have quite abundantly pointed out, Mumsnet is predominantly female so of course a lot of the threads in the Relationship section are asking for advice because the partner/husband/boyfriend is being an arse. If the partner ISN'T being an arse, the poster is quite frequently told that.

Read Mumsnet with that in mind and you may go far, young man.

room for a little one?

Another one for the AF club here... :)

I haven't been here long, argued a few times with AF but she's kind and generous of spirit and I like her, I just do.

I love AF.

i like AF but she also talks alot of drivel and contradicts herself big time , with some sanctimony, I dont thi k she is as out spoken in rl, if so I think she may be my BIL, who I love dearly, but know when to shut off and nod in the right placed. or rile big time if am bored shitless.

I once asked on a thread where she was as I had missed her and hadnt seen her post for a while and she said she also has a life, so maybe AF is on holiday or out on a bender, just hope she isnt BFing in that case as the sure start lot will be on to her big time.

who are you AF?

He's a she? or she's a he?
