MamsNot : The point ?

[Board Game Geek]

Is it just me (cue a one line post reply, "it's you"), but I find this whole effort a bit disturbing really.

It's one thing to live on our own forum and engage in various banter and antics here, but to purposefully orchestrate a concerted attack on another group under any guise is surely mean-spirited.

When that guise is for the purposes of "entertainment" at other's expense, then I feel that it is dangerously close to bullying.

Whatever happened to "live and let live ?" and treating other's with respect, strangers or not ?

No one else is saying it, but I am actually quite disappointed and cringeing with disbelief at this latest endeavour.

Where next ? Handicapped forums ? Cancer sufferers ? Recently bereaved ?

The word 'childish' sums up a lot of the recent activity, both on and off board.

Expect to be called a bedwetter any time soon.

i wonder if they would do the same in the, (cough) real world


Milan.

I doubt it Milan.

I suspect most of MumsNet could devour any or all of us, without even spitting out the bones.

I have to side with the bedwetters on this one.

Aye, although I have rather guiltily enjoyed following it!

I see nothing wrong in the creation of some satire and parody as an intellectual exercise.

Going over there and posting rubbish to ruin their forum would be crass and indefensible.

Going over there and posting cartoon versions of themselves that they think are real is fine in my book to see if we are up to the challenge and there seems to be a long tradition of it on the internet and before.
