Mumsnet, please don't ever have a like button...

[Ledkr]

I don't do facebook but hear people talk about "likes" and just find it really cringeworthy and childish.
I just don't care if anyone "likes" what I post on here and thsts why mumsnet works so well, people can say what they like without fear of not being liked
That's it really

Liked and shared.

Do I win?

I didn't know this was a discussion but I've often wished there was a 'like' button on MN. If I read a point I agree with and think was well made, I want them to know but don't want to clutter up a thread with 'I agree with poster' with all the attendant hassle of finding asterisks on my phone!

I haven't got a clue cozie; I must admit to being rather ancient and a 'FB-refuser'!

I didn't say you were old, Ledkr . I meant that you've been on MN for a good number of years and have, obviously, seen the many previous "FB Like" threads!!

I may or may not have agreed with the OP. Now you'll never know!

Ledkr instead cos you love those right?

I do so enjoy a lovely hug dolly yes.

Anyway text me you cunt
