Sorry if a RP, I have looked, but....

Seems a fair assesment of this place.

I just saw that on the Telegraph too, and came to see if there was a thread running yet.

To compare us to Mumsnet is like comparing the Telegraph to the Daily Mail. I don't think the Telegraph would welcome that comparison, just like I don't welcome the comparison to Mumsnet.

But, otherwise, yes it was a fair article.

[vixen1700]

Yeah, seems fair enough I suppose.

[Salgar]

so, either you're all getting it wrong, or that article is, because mumsnet is a completely different places to netmums.....

Indeed. The article definitely references the more fluffy Netmums rather than barbed vipers of Mumsnet.

Yep, I'd agree with that.

The headline refers to Mumsnet, and the article itself refers to Netmums.

[Doobs too]

The article said Netmums, not Mumsnet.

...so that's alright then.

Edited : Beaten to it.

[poprock]

That really confused me. Mumsnet/Netmums. There’s a subeditor at the Telegraph not doing a very good job …

[gifdy]

Ha ha. The only comment on the article is a correction. Very PH

That may or may not be me...

There is far less b!tching on Mumsnet! (Just look at any F1,car Vs bike, mx5 thread)

Daily Telegraph article said:

All of these are subsections of a much bigger haunt known as The Pie And Piston, PistonHeads’ virtual pub. It’s a lively, friendly place where members tend to watch each other’s backs.

Dan Trent must have given an interview.

[Asterix]

Fair article, and there's no denying I'm a regular Pist-Head.

[lukefreeman]

Do Mumsnet have threads on there made about PH?

A few. Some spikey comments slung both ways.

However, I do believe the bottle of vitriol is more liberally sprayed between netmums and mumsnet.

[LordGrover]

Do you spend much time there, d_m_n?

It looks like the telegraph site has just been hacked by someone claiming to be "The Syrian Electronic Army" and may become a malware risk.
