Women presumably who don't have a certain sense of humour, or don't agree with certain (long standing) posters being described as beige admin workers who nag their ugly husbands, who were friendless at school, wear cheap clothes, have no fun in their sad little joyless lives etc etc Literally paragraphs and paragraphs of nastiness.

This is some of the most vile and misogynistic stuff I have ever read on MN from other women. These kind of comments normally come from trolls and MRA invasions. Is this really what MN has become? Does everyone think that this sort of shit should stand? What happened to the fucking sisterhood?

I am astounded to be quite honest.

I have the courage of my convictions to say what I think. I don't need any back up or quiches or supporters thanks very much. You can agree or not agree. I personally do not think it is in the spirit Of MN to slag off people en masse in the way it was done on that thread. I would honestly like to know how other people feel about that.

What is the point if you continue being so fucking cryptic? I'm PB too.

That c&ped bit reads like something an educated member of AARSE might write.

EchoBitch · 29/03/2013 20:20

Did you think it was ok then Tee?

Obviously no one reported it or i bet it would have been deleted.

OutragedFromLeeds · 29/03/2013 20:20

I don't think it's cryptic is it? It's the jokes, trolls, spoof thread. Someone has already said, no?

nenevomito · 29/03/2013 20:20

I'd not read those comments.

Wow. Just wow.

TrampyPanterNoster · 29/03/2013 20:20

We can't post names, link etc because thats a sure-fire way to get a bollocking. the thread is in site stuff though and is the spoofs and trolls one.

It was slagging people off en masse and very individually and identifiably as well.

Portofino · 29/03/2013 20:22

Tee, so are you saying that I have "rallied the troops" or some such? I was disgusted - is it that unbelievable that at least someone agrees with me? This thread could have died a death, or I could have got my arse flamed. I took that risk.

Pile of shit? I thought it was a fairly amusing caricature of a certain type of poster, although the style is a bit Creative Writing evening class.

To me, this is the poster who comes onto threads, which are meant to be light-hearted, to say, "Oh, don't you sound lovely. Hmm"

SauvignonBlanche · 29/03/2013 20:23

We might need a bigger bench Sparkling,

Me neither Sauvignon, let's get more Wine.

FrankWippery · 29/03/2013 20:29

Bloody hell Funnier those are fucking vile posts. Certainly seem to be rather nastily directed. Not pleasant.
