DBF BANNING THREAD: 3

I think the llamas ate the plot.

Greedy bastards, llamas are.

Chipping
Here is a thing though. I am a fairly prolific poster and in all my years of MNetting I have had just ONE post deleted.

So, being a regular poster is no excuse. If DBF has been reported 20 times then she has said something at least 20 times that someone was offended/upset by.

I don't think that I mince my words, but I don't call names and I am not unkind to people who are looking for advice.

Grimma, actually no I didn't since the thread is talking about parma violets and other things. But fwiw, I still think that was excellent advice.

Oops, that reads as I think Chipping is talking shite! I meant that as an example btw Chipping

(loopy - suspect Rhub may have known that, that's the point)

But Galaxy - yes I know there are other rescuers but I (and I'd guess others) don't know who they are and if they are willing and able to fill that particular gap. Well, I suppose the obvious answer is to title such threads 'Any rescuers - help please'. Better really than putting it all on an individual.
OK, answered my own question.

Chipping - you are talking shite, hence the words coming out of your mouth are shite. However you as a person may not be shite, but if you actually say that you are an "evil/nasty/uncaring/thoughtless/stupid" person then you are making a personal attack. So actually it does back up what I just said.

Rhubarb0 cos you are naughty......

omg sorry because your behaviour is naughty..phew

Everyone is still cross and stirred up. Nothing personal Rhubarb. :)

Why are people taking my posts so darn seriously? I'm not used to that. Have you all lost the plot?

Rhubarb - this is a quote from Justine

I don't fwiw think it's always possible to post with a worst-case-scenario view of another MN-ers circs; I think MN's true spirit bounces erratically between that extreme, and the other, 'you're talking shite and I'm telling you so' one.
I actually agree with that LW. I think you can and should be able to say 'you're talking shite and I'm telling you so' but you shouldn't say "'you're talking shite, you evil/nasty/uncaring/thoughtless/stupid (delete as appropriate) person you, and I'm telling you so'

should be able to say 'you're talking shite and I'm telling you so'

So, it doesn't appear that Mumsnet agrees with you re their rules.

no rhubarb your advice isnt 'official' nor is it accurate or helpful.

Rhubarb, RSPCA put down healthy animals. Therefore, rehoming with them is often not the best idea. That is, unless you want to run the risk that your pet be killed.

Today I am mostly agreeing with ChippingIn...

And I've had a look at the Other Forum and there's not much to it, just hello here we are, nice to see you Val. 'snice.

rhubarb - no your' advice' won't do. I suspect the point of the Dog House is to offer help and support to people who actually like dogs not those who dislike them.

Galaxy, we get it, you don't like her. But do you think now is the time or place for personal attacks?

Chipping - you can call a lie a lie, but you cannot call a liar, a liar. Focus on the behaviour and not the person. Therein are the rules of Mumsnet in a nutshell.

Also. DBF posts (posted?) a lot. Posters that post a lot, especially about 'hot topics' are going to get more posts reported to MN that a poster that posts infrequently. For every one post reported to MNHQ I bet DBF made 100's that helped people. So yes, MNHQ may have had 20 reports about DBF, but I don't suppose anyone 'evened up the score' by reporting the thousands that were helpful, supportive, caring, gentle, calm, kind etc.

Here is the official, all you need to know about dogs advice:

Shall I get a dog? No.
Why? Because they smell and cost lots to feed, not to mention kennelling fees for when you go away and vets fees.
Shall I re-home my dog? 'Sup to you. RSPCA re-home dogs, go there.
Shall I breed my dog? No, are you stupid?
Shall I buy from a breeder? Well someone has to, if it isn't you who buys it then some other muppet with too much money will.
My dog bit my child, what will I do? Either get rid of the child or get rid of the dog, it's up to you. Which costs less?
Shall I buy a rescue dog? If you want to, it would be a sort of nice thing to do if you can put up with the smells and the costs but not recommended if you have small kids.
Shall I buy a puppy? No, they piss everywhere.

Will that do? Just cut and paste for every dog question.

I went llama trekking once. It's a very boring way to spend an afternoon. Llamas aren't much fun.

Oh hang on, I am on the internet because I work on it, so this is just a look in, honest! I am really a man a loving and doting mother!

Bollocks, you've shot my cock off.
