MN is a load of shit and all the posters are full of it

[ConnieDescending]

I came here as was fed up of the fluffiness on other parenting websites, the tickers, the over moderation of swear words and forceful opinions, the constant calling for hugs, the 'huns' etc

But you know what after spending 6 months here I'm heading back to those parenting websites where normal people frequent and will put up with the overt 'nicey nicey ness.'

Whats so great about MN? You all go on about it all the time, its freedom of speech, its being able to get seriously involved in debates, etc........well yes there is that but pretty soon the 'parping' becomes duller than the 'big (((((hun)))))'. And what the lack of moderation means we can write 'fuck off'...???

I would love to read a thread without cod being mentioned - fgs, you're like a load of playground kids desperate for attention from queen bee by mentioning her name!

Then there's the food threads where a normal conversation never occurs without 'fruitshoots are crap' or 'lentil weavers' thrown in...........so boring now as is the debate on what is crap and what is not, who gives crap and who does not and usually ends in people saying parp and fuck off. FGS, how anyone can read these threads again and again is beyond me.

MN is a place where you can't say you actually think the SMA emblem looks like a mother cuddling her child without attacks, you can't ever be on the middle ground of something.

On MN the newbies, a term I hate are generally are viewed as a lower species and treated with disdain, people whos opinions are less important or valid.

On MN those who shout loudest, post longest and are the rudest are the most regarded.

On MN, there are a group of mother judging all the other mothers as inferior to them and setting ridiculous standards.

On MN a topic such as weaning invokes 500 posts of pure drivel and arguments

Then there's the new AIBU threads which are just so fucking annoying and pointless.

So I will go back to my fluffy parenting forums where people are pleasant, normal and all are there for genuine reasons.

I will give up my freedom of saying fuck off.

MN is shit

I like my nmeand dont even know how to change it, so will be pissing people off in full view of my monitor

But why are you still here? I don't understand why posters vent forth a stream iof reasons they hate MN so much, how it and the people who frequent it are sh*te yet then stay to bicker?
Don't like it? Why don't they just go? I don't mean just you Connie-who-ever-you-are, I mena in general.

CD, very impressed that you are still holding your own after 200+ posts, please stick around and just avoid the threads that don't appeal.

And in fact I am tres glamorous dahhhhling....

Cod stop being so needy

She hates you

againd Cod...why the name change?

Hmmmm. Unfortunately, the MN response has kept this at the top of active convos and spawned a few spin-off threads, and important threads where people are actually asking for help are slipping down...can we all have a little break / amnesty and see who needs some RL advice?

"What difference would it make if I was a different name. "

Because on MN your posting name is youre real name in a way. It's the name we know you by and the name attached to the online persona we've "met". In real life I could tell you my name is Francesca Wetherspout and that would be the name you know me by and attach my persona to. Even though it's as made up as SoupDragon.

goog God?

Who the fuck is he?

OK, you've made your point, now go. We're perfectly happy with the way things are done round here. You take the rough with the smooth. If you can't handle the criticism, then you shouldn't post and if you dislike the smulch that much, go somewhere where there isn't any. MN isn't for everyone, but in the few months I've been around, I've enjoyed many a good banter and also discussed some serious stuff that I have long needed to talk about. If its not working for you, just go, dare I say it - don't flounce!

And I do sometimes get a bit embarressed about the Cod thing - sometimes it can seem a little cloying

Still here?Why say you're going and then harp on like a broken record.

bored now

Well littlelapin thank god for that - you've come back loads of times to tell me I'm boring and you're leaving but still coming backto tellme that again.

Is that any difference to me returning to this thread to continue with my original post?

Iwill not be telling anyone my old MN name because you will all just pick apart my old posts and rip the shite outta me.

ive been so hacked off with mn at times that ive been to look at all the other sites. but i missed my friends yes, people argue, yes people can go over the top and yes some posters do seem a bit immovable on certain topics but the warmth, wit and sense of community outweighs all this.

i love the fact that i can move off an aggressive debate and chat to the same person 5 mins later about shoes.

if you dont like mn leave! its that simple!

OH Bless
run along then sweetie

Littlelapin...I think what you have posted is a bit heavy, yes connie started a pretty awful thread title etc, but telling her to "fuck off" and "piss off" and linking to poison pen letters is a bit too much.

well actually mines v similar to RL - althou I do have various alias's for when I want to post personal info.
