Pretty much all of those comments are so subjective and unqualified. What does 'nice' mean? How is it OK to say 'avoid' without giving a reason for it? 

It's not surprising some places turn into ghettoes.

If everyone wanted to live here they'd be no room for us. Let them say its horrid - I don't care! They can live in South London.

Bit of a sweeping generalisation for a forum with 4 million users?

Anette have you ever spent much time on mumsnet? As I spend many of the small hours, baby feeding, lurking on the message boards, and I find that (HOL excepted of course ) it's by far the most articulate, intelligent and funny place to hang around online. And you don't even have to be a mum.  Of course it's easy to pick some comments you don't like from a few posters and call a whole online community dumb....

Actually, I find its userbase surprisingly on the ball on most things (surprisingly in this case mostly because of the massive numbers on there). If I were a Mum I don't think I'd ever log out.
