givemesleep - nail on head
fanjo - not at all surprised.

Heck, with 1 in 100 kids having ASD, in in 13 (iirc) having ADHD plus everything else, we're hardly part of a small, select group, here. Lack of homogeneity is pretty much guaranteed. I do read posts even here on the SN board that make me Hmm a bit, but unless I feel like that post directly offends me or my kids or contains some real mis-information, I do shrug it off and move on. I think most of us do show that kind of respect for each other and that could probably be misconstrued by insensitive, hairy types with horns as all of us here being one homogeneous mass.

I love SN mumsnet

I don't agree all the time

I sometimes am a bit surprised by some views

I always learn something

I noticed the thread is gone. Was it a troll then? Hope Riven is ok.

I can honestly say I have seen very little of what the OP decribed on MNs.

I have seen it on other forums but it tends to come from those whose children (dare I say it) have very mild additional needs. It becomes a bit of a competition and I have seen parents of children with complex needs frozen out.

Never seen anything like that on here and I have been around for a few years.

TBH I didnt really understand the whole OP or the point of it.

I missed this thread as it seems to be deleted but someone explain to me WTF is wrong with some of the people who post on mumsnet, especially in the 'am i being unreasonable' section...

There are some seriously f**ked up people around with a lot of time on their hands.

I try to avoid that area because the amount of negativity and whinging on there drives me mad!

One person has asked - nicely - if I was that OP, because I've posted a few things over the years about getting annoyed about parents in RL who want to debate over why your child has a better Statement and who's more disabled.

It wasn't!

Yes, some of the ideas (like the one above) from that OP are ideas that I have some sympathy with, I don't with the main one, like I think I've said above.

With one exception this year, I'm usually pretty blunt about telling people what I think about things on the thread in question, as many of you might have noticed Wink so if there's any FB discussions that I'm not privy to suggesting me as the OP out there, it wasn't!

Oh, and the one time I did start a thread about a thread, I did it under my name anyway!
