Hello MNHQ, could you PLEASE consider having a word with some of the people on the coronavirus threads?

I'm getting frustrated with the tone adopted by a lot of people on here, many of whom appear to be almost enjoying the fact that they havein their opiniona kind of socially sanctioned excuse for unpleasantness, swearing, "FFS" galore, nasty judgmental comments, giving horrible replies to people who are merely confused and asking questions, and a whole lot else.

I would report, but the thing is, it's EVERYWHERE. I would end up reporting half the threads I read.

We need some generalized guidance from MNHQ, including warnings that the ban-hammer will be wielded for repeated offenders.

I am in East Asia where we have been dealing with the pandemic more effectively than most European countries and America. What's striking is the way people in East Asia are quietly getting on with things, rather than snarling and bitching at each other.

We need to pull together in this crisis and we need to have transparency of information. It's worrying if people are made to feel that they will be spoken to in this ghastly way every time they ask for clarification or advice.

Fully agreed OP. I had a question about the lockdown but I won't post on mumsnet because I've already seen the abuse others have received and my mental health is already at breaking point.

It's gutting because Mumsnet has been somewhere I've turned to for help before, and beeeb lucky enough to have received fantastic support. Not anymore though, sadly.

Turns out mumsnet is full of people who get a hard on for telling off other people in insufferable tones, who knew?
