Where did the 'HouseBoy' thread go?

I think IFancyKevin was one of the Midnight Bitches

"he whole fb rubbish is the very reason i'm fastidious about keeping mn and rl separate."

Fuck me, willie- we agree

Bring on the trumpets!

you mean like whether you should insist on your butler having a vasectomy northern?

the whole fb rubbish is the very reason i'm fastidious about keeping mn and rl separate.

Were MNHQ referring to the FB bollocks and the op starting the thread as an obvious wind up though when they said it's "not what mumsnet is about"?

Because I could agree with that I think, in the sense that if op was on a deliberate wind up and posting personal remarks about other posters eleswhere then that's against the mumsnet rules of posting.

If it was deleted from a censorship we don't talk about this stuff point of view then I thoroughly disagree.

I come here because it isn't censored, agree with hobnobs that loads of stuff is left to stand that is far more offensive than that thread.
The argument is always that there is useful info there blah blah.
I don't see why that thread was any different.

SEVEN

Come on HQ, I ought to be getting to bed - early morning here. Please explain.

Stayfrosty - yes the facebook/meet up stuff left a very nasty taste in the mouth. It was discouraging as well because i like to think I'm sharing webspace with reasonably bright women. Numpties who post their evil wind up plans on facebook and other threads on MNET aren't going to help me with my tricky personal dilemas are they?

oh and STayFrosty - sorry forgot you

Why thank you

I used the jelly and walls one.

MmeBlueberry and I are polar opposites, and we would each agree so- we have argued on countless threads but if I agreed with heron any point I would say so; I hope she would me.

I thought that was what MN was about...

like your name chickens

yy there is so much crap on here sometimes - esp before the elections - which was left because of yuman rights/freedom of speech and so on.
Can't have it both ways. either it's free speech or not.

Well said NorthernLurker (got your name right this time )

Tethersend, Dittany and Ifancy did fantastic posting on that thread. I had just written a post, hit 'send' and it said the thread was deleted!

Was a really interesting thread as well.

And why is anyone saying the op shouldn't have been flamed? She posted it on purpose to rile people (how mature), she has said so in several places on mn and she also said very unpleasant things re posters on facebook. Nice lady

Would like to know MNHQ why it was deleted?

Bit confused as to why this thread has been deleted (which did have some interesting moral implications) and yet some very unpleasant political threads during the election were allowed to stand. Most odd.

Where is MNHQ to properly explain why this was deleted?

Am quite pissed off actually. The amount of racist/homophobic/bullying crap (delete any or none) that is left to fester and cause upset on here and MNHQ do nothing about it and a bit of reasoned debate goes on and suddenly "that's not what MN is about " FFS I'm off to watch the footie! I haven't got a houseboy to make me a cuppa so DC will have to do it and I don't even pay him! Mind you I do treat him as part of the family he even has his own room

yes I did admire
but I think the analogy of jelly and walls was used at one point
had to laugh when anyone agreeing with op was praised on their education while posters who disagreed were told 'off you trot'

restraining myself from carrying on here..but.
What's wrong with gratitude?? I'm grateful for so many things including my former boss hiring me and giving me lots of opportunities. Of course the organisation benefitted from me working there but I don't see why I shouldn't be grateful for some of the opportunities afforded that another boss may not have.

I'd be very seriously concerned about censorship and the implications for this site if the people running it start deciding what MN is and isn't about.
