Is it true we are thought of as nutters by the owner of this site?

It's come to my attention tonight that the owner of this site has called users of this site nutters. Is this true?

Particularly in relation to the royal family board.

In what context? Where?

PennySweeet · 10/09/2025 23:35

Do you have a link?

damemaggiescurledupperlip · 10/09/2025 23:36

Harry and Megan was the context, I think

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 10/09/2025 23:38

Well she's not wrong.

Justanotherdramalama · 10/09/2025 23:43

I don't have a link. Another mumsneter said tonight that it's all over Google and the media how the owner of this site said that users of mumsnet were nutters. Seemingly in relation to the royal family board. So what's her thought on other boards?

People's opinions who have made her millions are Seemingly nutters..

The Royal Family board is totally hatstand though, she has a point there.

Is that you, Roger?

So because the royal family board is thought as batshit its fair game? Would the same be said for other boards?

It's really bad form to invite opinions and build a business then rip the people for it to say the least.

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 11/09/2025 00:17

Several boards are batshit, yes.

StewkeyBlue · 11/09/2025 00:25

I can’t find any reference to this, after googling for it in a couple of ways.

Come on OP, if it’s ’all Over Google’ whatever that means, give us a link.

(the Royal boards are nuts though)

So what's your problem?

I was posting from the very start of MSE, and Martin made millions on the back of advice we as posters shared with each other

There's no law that says you have to post here

However Im sure somewhere on those terms and conditions we clicked and agreed to, without even glancing at , says once posted its no longer our content and the site can use it for their own purpose

So the owner says we posters are batshit? So does anyone in your real life know you post on here under the name of @Justanotherdramalama ?

Or as your username suggest, you are just posting to stir the pot?

OneTealMentor · 11/09/2025 00:27

Maybe they were referring to you?

Well when you Google it what comes up? If it's 'all over google' send us links.

”Unhinged” was the word Justine used, and it was about the long-running Harry & Meghan threads specifically rather than a general comment about users of the site.

Agreed.

I’d like a screenshot from OP as well.

SeptemberIRemember · 11/09/2025 00:53

My search engine (not Google) has this as the second top hit, but it’s from the D Telegraph in January 2023. As @HeddaGarbled said, it’s in relation to the H&M board, not Mumsnetters as a whole.

I can’t link to the article because it’s paywalled for me, but this is the headline:
Mumsnet founder: ‘Our users are deranged when it comes to Meghan’
Justine Roberts, the popular forum’s creator, talks childcare costs, politics and finding love after the end of a 30-year marriage

Screenshot to follow, but I don’t know if it will be approved.

Thanks for the above links. So the word wasn't nutters then it was deranged. Unfortunately I can't link the thread or the person's post as that's against guidelines.

She does have a point if you look at the royal Family board. They are almost all nuts.

GarlicPint · 11/09/2025 01:23

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 10/09/2025 23:38

Well she's not wrong.

Agreed!

I think Justine does understand us.
Lots of us are nutters.

OuijaBoard · 11/09/2025 01:28

Another mumsneter said tonight that it's all over Google and the media how the owner of this site said that users of mumsnet were nutters.

So ask the poster who said it's all over Google to post a link IN the thread where they said it was all over Google to an example of the Google comments or, better, the comment those Google threads are referencing.

Justanotherdramalama · 11/09/2025 01:34

I did and they refused, which is why I am asking mumsnet directly. I mean its a bold move to call your users anything really.

I don't know about this site, which seems pretty sedate, but with my main site, Craigslist, I'm pretty sure the staff thinks most of us are wackos.

Some of the haters of H&M are crazy, they are strangers after all who are not exactly mass killers but people create threads and rip them apart them for a choice of font!
