It was only a question I don't understand why people are getting so upset by it.
Ok I'll bite this once.
Imagine if you were a member of a site like this where there was an almost never ending stream of members with very low post count who posted a new thread with a "highly provocative" initial question? What would you think when you saw another one? How would you know that particular one was genuine?
Hard question? Dont worry, I'll help you out. See this is a community. We all give and take. We write reviews or post comments that help other members. We give first and take later. Some people on here have thousands of posts, hundreds of reviews. I personally have 200 odd posts, 10 reviews and I dont feel I have the right to start stupid threads like this that ask some stupid question with no sign of giving back. Ask what you can give not what you can take to paraphrase someone or other.
So to answer your question, of course you dont understand, and that is exactly the point.
If you are gen, think before posting again. If not please pass this on to all your other mumsnetters or classmates. You might think you are getting at us or something, but really you are just being a twat
