....told me this afternoon that I should check out Mumsnet, as it's been even funnier than usual this week due to a bunch of contractor geeks infiltrating them.

We are now in their "Talk Round-up"
We had a bit of a cross-forum rumpus this week, when some naughty boys from the 'CUK' IT contractor forum bustled onto the Talk boards in true Mrs Doubtfire style and got into a lather when they discovered that Mumsnet doesn't ban rude words. It all left MadamDeathstare fuming: "The way some of them go on about women and mothers makes me wonder if they have actually met a woman or if they were raised in a veal pen." Others didn't object to an occasional troll-invasion: "Couldn't we treat it as some kind of foreign exchange?" offered DuelingFanjo. Some of the chaps returned to beg for mercy: "Our admin has filtered out every possible swear word," bleated MrsFullyautomatix, "we are even forced to say 'tulip' when we actually mean 'sh*t'." "The thing about Mumsnet is that there are so many valid reasons for us to talk about sex (TTC), tulip (potty training) and breasts (feeding) that there is absolutely no point trying to moderate our language," pointed out GrimmaTheNome sensibly. "And there are gardening threads, so you need to know you're planting a tulip rather than a euphemism."
