I wonder if the mumsnet people have their heads in their hands at the state of the site at the moment

Well there are plenty of the normal, pleasant threads. Probably worth just contributing to them and drowning the nastier ones!

it has been totally and utterly bonkers lately

nastiness, trolling, katie blardy hopkins fan club taking over

and no-one answered my question about blackstrap mollassess.

i am this far (holds fingers millimetres apart) from flouncing !

backstrap mollassess?
Shoes or food?

It's an illusion. The threads that stand out are the controversial ones. There are 1000s of quiet, friendly, helpful discussions going on. So I don't think they have anything to worry about really.

Oh don't flounce Lulu, I'm sure KH doesn't really have any fans - surely people who have been positive about her are in her pay as I've never met anyone who's a fan.

Come join us on the Emma Forbes should take over from Fern thread

food, like treacle. smells weird though

i wish someone would tell me exactly what has happened as i have no idea.

backstrap mollassess sounds like a shoe type thing.

you mean like extremely nasty people who namechange to stir and cause trouble by posting stuff about how other people are nasty?

What were you trying to do with molassess?

Can't say I've noticed any particular level of nastiness at the moment - jut the microceleb crap, but that's not exactly "nasty" just a pain.

i like emma forbes. she has Nice Hair.

i won;t flounce, i;'d hve to do housework

i wasn;t sure NL< i bought it as it was in the health food shop and thought it was good fgor you, but it smells like marmite, so not done anything with iyt yet

Well, these phases come...and they go.

Ride the storm. The trolls get bored after a while. And I'm sure Katie's Hopkins 15 mins of fame will be over pretty soon. Hopefully.

Is it a full moon, btw? What happened to the bit of the site where you could check what was going on in the waxing/waning stakes?

Who the fuck is Katie Hopkins?

It's a type of sugar Lulumama, you can cook with it (apparantly) or turn it into nasty toffee.

I think molassess is a victim of the Nora Ephron rule. In 'Heartburn' her character says that she spent months putting capers into eveything before realising that anything that tastes good with capers in tastes better withem out. Same is true of molassess I fear!

I asked exactly that question Greeny.

Who is Katie Hopkins?

Lulu, come to my ligament pain thread and advise me please

You can't flounce us pregnant women need you!

thank you NL!! that is sound advice.

oh su, i will be along soon

need wine

well, i;'m happy now, my question about molassess has been answered

all is well in my world!

I like capers .

No idea about the molasses.

lol

She sounds like a bitch

she clearly has a deap-seated terror of actually growing up...

deep, deep

capers are little zingy buds of deliciousness

molasses can be used in cakes like dark fruit cakes etc

and gingerbread
