Somebody just called me angry... I guess I am

I am ashamed to say that over the past couple of months I have let a website actually make me angry.

This'll be my last post so if anybody cares - here's why:

The sanctimonious, dare I say it "holier than thou" attitude of so many posters on this forum is just more than I can stomach for a minute longer. Don't eat this, don't feed your baby this way, I am so bloody marvellous - my God there are a lot of members on MN who should be awarded multiple gold threads.

I am also sick to DEATH of the BF vs FF debate. It has now become so boring I think if I have to read one more evangelical thread about the subject I'll expire - or at least the part of my brain capable of processing new information will.

I think now I am into my third pregnancy the more experienced parent in me is finding the whining, witchhunts and general crappy atmosphere a waste of time.

I shan't be logging on anymore. Au-revoir MN.

think you should start a T-shirt company Cod. theres some great slogans you've got there.

FrannyandZooey · 16/10/2006 13:01

Ah dino but my finger is getting tired from wagging it at you all

I could do with some back up

Oh Franny you have loads of fellow finger-waggers. Why, even Cod chided me by email the other day.

TwigTwoolett · 16/10/2006 13:03

Soupy isn't a real mumsnetter though so her views don't hold any water

anybody who can keep an entire pregnancy private is just not playing by the rules IMHO

FrannyandZooey · 16/10/2006 13:04

Oh just don't look then

get some fishy blinkers

you don't half bang on about your stuff cod, but it's ok, because lots of it is entertaining and if not, there's always something else to read

it's not worth getting so tizzed up about, is it?

diNOLOOKINGOVERYOURSHOULDERsau · 16/10/2006 13:04

Yes, Soupy, I've never felt the same about you since then

And your pasta jar has been discredited by Franny...

TwigTwoolett · 16/10/2006 13:04

and franny you are super-militant about loads of things ... and that's why we luvs ya

diNOLOOKINGOVERYOURSHOULDERsau · 16/10/2006 13:05

Cod is getting a rise out of you, isn't she?

harpsichordcarrion · 16/10/2006 13:05

personally I think it would really help to calm the site down. because I do hate to see the "all pile in" threads, when perfectly reasonable people get such a hard time, and get so hurt but I am extremely inhibited from saying anything anymore since the last time I tried to intervene and say something at the time and on the thread, I got attacked so personally. it might help if there were people who had the responsibility for calming things down, because that might avoid some of the worst excesses, when people try and post against the orthodoxy.

FrannyandZooey · 16/10/2006 13:05

Dino you were honoured, that was the premium service. Most of the snivellers round here only deserve the MN posting finger wag, not an actual email version

EnidVorhees · 16/10/2006 13:05

I love the militant breastfeeders

I think its superb that women have other women to campaign for them on this issue

Lets face it if it were left up to blokes we'd all be on bottles by now

and I am not even a militant breastfeeder, I have given dd3 some bottles of formula

Are you feeling particularly hormonal and crap dejags?

I think that there is some mumsnet policy reason (possibly connected with SheWhoMustNotBeNamed) for the jettisoning of mods...

FrannyandZooey · 16/10/2006 13:06

Fine post HC

shut up the rest of you, you are being naughty (and making me snigger)

TheBlairAitchProject · 16/10/2006 13:06

i'll back you up, Franny, I like Mumsnet, or 99% of it anyway. and it's not so hard to ignore the 1% (or wade in and get in a scrap if i'm feeling up to it). [gsmile]

TwigTwoolett · 16/10/2006 13:07

"and your pasta jar has been discredited by franny"

really?

I think the pasta jar concept is a fabulous tool

why has it been discredited

SoupDragon · 16/10/2006 13:07

I don't know what you mean, Franny. BabyDragon is sitting with her wnaky basket as we speak...

sniggers@twig

SoupDragon · 16/10/2006 13:07

Franny has a quinoa jar instead, that's all.

TheBlairAitchProject · 16/10/2006 13:07

[gsmile]????!!!!

I think the pasta jar is crap too

EnidVorhees · 16/10/2006 13:08

Franny is deeply wrong about quinoa though

FrannyandZooey · 16/10/2006 13:08

Hold on hold on I thought we were coming to some sort of understanding here

I am not raking up pasta jars now

harpsichordcarrion · 16/10/2006 13:08

yes I think that's right dino, but we could ask for volunteers or nominate people ourselves, that wouldn't cause mn a problem I don't think.
