Really had enough - its no longer hitting the spot

[CAM]

Got to go, can't come on here to be abused.

All the "old girls" hardly post anymore, bk, tm, m, mi, d, sm, etc etc, its mostly a bunch of tedious up their own bullies.

can i add, 'don't patronise me!'

I agree Hunker.

Lets all shout "Bully", the first time someone says something we don't like. It's PATHETIC. Lets not let Mumsnet stoop this low.

Hunker I don't think you were being a bully at all, and i'm as neutral as magnolia walls - i'm too new to know who's who. I thought that debate started out being interesting and informative. I really respect the fact you're so passionate about these issues. I can understand how the tone of the title could have brought out some insecurities / annoyances / anger in some people. You you seem sure enough of your opinions to take that.

It's a shame that it got nasty, as these things should be able to be discussed, but i didn't get the bullying thing.

Yes, the "bully" thing raises my hackles too.

Also the "cohorts" thing, as soon as any 2 random people agree with each other.

Wish i had a cohort.

Yes because when I protested to being called a bully, I was basically told that me saying I am not a bully proves I am a bully!

("Of course she's a witch, she's denying it! BURN her!")

I'll be your cohort Boco, if you'll be mine

Ah, yes, "don't patronise me" as well. Forgot that.

I actually didn't mean to upset people - and I think I apologised to people who gave reasons for their upset and didn't just call me sanctimonious or bullying.

Surely Hunkermunker's cohort would be Tom Thumb? During the arguey thread i had visions of a little mouse using a shovel to smash a plaster lobster to bits.

Come, come, hunker, you are a well known patron.

O god, don't judge me

That's my fave

Yes please IG!

I've got a cohort!

Now, i'm going to make some pretty way out suggestions IG, and no matter how bad it gets, you have to agree with me, ok?

and in spanish, a 'patrón' is a good thing!

Boco, thanks to mumsnet, every time I read the Two Bad Mice to dd1 I have to remind myself sternly that Huncamunca is, in fact, the correct spelling, and not the rap version.

i quite fancy having a patron.
gotta beat working

rap version?

I don't feel very down with the kids now, i only know about the naughty mice version.

i was going to post that colditz, about it being like medievl justice. you know, chuck her in the pond and if she sinks, then she's not a bully.
but i couldn't find a ay to say that was satisfactorily witty and pithy.
a problem that persists today i might add

No - sorry it's late here, I'm being terribly unclear -

Huncamunca now sounds to me like the rap version of Hunkermunker. Instead of Hunkermunker being the misspelled version of what Beatrix P wrote (which is what it actually is) .

Oh.... I know what I mean, anyway!

[wanders off muttering]

Oh ok - getya now.

Phew - I just went and googled hunker munker, horrified at missing a whole yoof phenomenon.

(and I think I recall Hunker saying she wanted Hunca but it was taken - ie am not accusing her of not being able to spell)

really going to bed now, it's 1am and dd2 is finally asleep

the whole yoof thing is beyond me, frankly, I am Middle Aged now

night all

Crikey, what comes up when you google hunker munker? [scared]

What happened to taking responsability for your own actions?

cam has gone, this has been whipped into a frenzy and hunker you have good support and i am sure that in some part that is becuase you come on here very regularly and have made good friends.

there is nothing balanced here, on this thread, on cods thread, or on the original thread. nothing at all

there is no argument, i hardly understand how it perpetuates.

but perpetuate it does. with the rancid " oh dont call me a name .... you're a bully" jibes

i have met both hunker and cam. i have no affiliation to eithe, but how you can't see your being a shit load of bitches that have gone to far is beyond me.

grown up women still pointing " she pinched me first miss"

a sure sign of maturity would be to say " for my part in this i am truly sorry"

There is no maturity here - from mothers who claim to help others. No maturity at all.

Cam may have acted harshly. I wasn't there, i don't know and the full story isn't available to read.

what i do know is that this has gone way to far. WAY to far. shes not here anymore, you won.

happy?

does it actually make you happy? she's gone bviously upset?

why would nice people - i know your nice people - you have been nice to me countless times - act so irrationally nasty.

responsability for your own part - rather than "cam called me a fucker" or whatever.

its very one sided this and rather upsetting actually.

I agree with custy. I keep posting this on loads of thread. Sorry to bang about it. But it really shocks me that these threads get so bitchy. We musn't let Mumsnet get a name for having regular bitch fights, or where newbies are f**k frightened to post anything.

Not sure I ever denied being a bitch, to be fair, Custy...
