"Go back to Mumsnet!" Mumsnet V Gransnet dilemma...

Well I like both gnet mumnet. And I will continue posting on both of them, I haven’t seen any aggressive posts but I don’t have time for haters, im too busy loving

Forgot to add a link - www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXiZHXkG-ac

Think Violet Elizabeth Bott.

Can I add a definition here, please? "passive aggressive" doesn't mean being spiteful in an indirect way, it has a more specific meaning than that. A good description is here -

It is also possible (and quite common) to someone to be passive aggressive by implying that people are bullies who are being horrible to you, the poor helpless, put-upon victim - and thus attacking them while claimingall the while that you are being attacked

Oh, I don't think every post you make is jumped on, ananimous only the ones posted with animosity toward fellow posters. I have seen perfectly pleasant exchanges between you and other posters.

Well said AGAA4 .

I haven't seen any passive aggression either! An example might help!

covert salad it could be a typo, but I can't think what it should be.

Cover story?

What is a covert salad? And what does it have to do with passive aggression?

AGA True, room for all views

I have had very good advice from the lovely GNs who have answered. I don't mind how old they are or if they are a grandmother or not. During my life I have been given good advice from very young and very old people. We are all people with life experience, who may be able to help others, whoever they are.

I'm always surprised at the number of older women on Mumsnet. But I lurk there on the elderly parents and mil threads to make sure I behave as they think I should.

We might even agree somewhere down the line...

I'd rather expose the spiteful culture here for what it is, than leave because of intolerant bullying attitudes driving me away.

Actually I think a lot of posters can read loud and clear when '' ' tactics' are at play.

Why do you not take the opportunity to report posts ananimous if you feel bullied? I think that is what you are getting?

I wanted the old bullies to out themselves for all to see their tactics.

I see them constantly provoking others about their opinions if it differs from their view (not allowed to think differently!). Calling names and generally showing themselves to be there for the bully scrum.
They have jumped on EVERY single post I have EVER made on GN to provoke reaction. And still continue to do so.

The thread histories are there for all to see: it is the same names over and over.

With the frequency and density of their posts, I can only image they either work for GN as unpaid mods, or think they work for GN.

Either way it reflects badly on GN to keep seeing the same old names in countless threads in controversy with newbs. And directing a "closed" thread policy - you are not invited! OK, loud and clear.

ananimous
Are you referring to passive aggressive behaviour towards you or generally?

I read both; there's no law against it, that I know of!!

Can you explain what your last post means please, ananimous? I genuinely haven't a clue.

Thank you those that could not help themselves for these great examples of passive-aggressive thread covert salad...

Us too! Ours are 12, 20 and 22 so we’ve told them to give us a few years to enjoy our retirement in 9 years time before we have to start childminding again!

I want at least a brief period of having a nice peaceful house where I can have nice things again before I have to go and babyproof again!

I'm really not and I am not ready to be either with 2 teens!!!!

That’s certainly true notanan!

Are you really not a nan btw? Neither am I - both my early twenty-somethings have been warned!

At least I vaguely know who the celebs/public figures referred to are on here ?
