Lurking has been interesting the last few weeks.
My take on this:
Some mumsnetters like eachother and has set up another forum where they chat in peace, free of trolls and rudeness. Is it heaven? Is it bliss?
Surely not. TWO members, who has initially had NO qualms about joining the site, flee and subsequently spill the beans, in all its gory glory, they revel in the perceived facts, of veto's and avatars. I wonder why...
Some members of the new site is outed/outs themselves, and is immediately mumsnet pariah, regardless of who they are, how helpful and lovely they have been prior to this. They are instantly despised and disliked. Mumsnet is better now that the scumbags have left.
ONE member goes mental, and is hurt, because she has not been invited. She has no ethical misgivings about the site, unlike the rest, but SHE has not had a golden invite, and because she assumes some of the members were her friends, rants for weeks. (personally I cant see the appeal of this site such it has been reported, sorry)
Blimey.
Nest of vipers?
Nest of fishwives?
I think in a strange way that I like it here.
