Shocked at some MN responses

[Welshmum16]

I'll probably get shot down for this but I needed to say it,

I have only joined this site recently and have read a few threads now but I am shocked at how some users are treating others.

Some posts are just rude and not called for, surely if you have nothing constructive to say don't post a response.

I do think some posters need to read their post before pressing 'post'

You can still put you view across without being disrespectful, rude and abusive to the original poster.

You're not wrong, I've seen an increase of passive aggressive, spiteful posts which set out to humiliate the OP. They often get 'called out', ignored or reported though which probably winds them up even more.

Because women must always be polite and gentle?

Surely everyone should be polite not just women. You can disagree with someone and still communicate in a polite manner. This should also be the case in real life.

OP I think you just have to hope that posters are giving the worst they can on here and not in the real world.

I love MN for its straight talking. It's a rare place for some intelligent discussion on the internet (not every thread I grant you).
Sometimes some replies leave me open mouthed and some make me laugh in their rudeness. Some are just stubbornly being rude about a weird tiny aspect of the OP's posts.

But it's all part of it.

"I would rather be called a twat than hun."

Me, too.

OP - Don't like it? Don't read it.

One problem we do suffer from is that many users come via AIBU and sometimes carry on the rather 'robust' form of speech that is very common on that sub-forum over into other sub-fora. Like this one! I'm just reporting a couple of the more unpleasant (and asinine) comments upthread now.

Love Mumsnet. There are some things that make me for example, some nice lady couldn’t find her passport before leaving for the airport. She made a post saying people might want to check on their passport and not expect it to be in the draw you left it in last year. Well she got fucking hammered. “We aren’t children” “thanks for reminding me how to be a grown up” and all that shit. So unnecessary. Those are the sort of posts on here that people try to out do each other’s “funny”

Helena that’s pretty shit. I’ve noted Ginger on a thread recently, and not in a “ooh, reasoned debate* way. Have you reported as a personal attack?

Evening everyone. Just to flag up that we've deleted the post you copied and pasted on here, @HelenaDove as it was a copy of a personal attack and we've now removed the original.

We always delete repetitions of posts which have been deleted for breaking talk guidelines. Hope that makes sense.

Best thing to do , if you're at all concerned by something posted by another MNer is to report it directly to us so that we can take a look.

Peace and love.

Ilike this den of vipers too.

But I don't like the''you're all bitches" threads

shame shes still at it
