@LeBOF

And how many out of those 42768 posts have been deleted, Helen, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm going to take the stats to that boffin maths thread and get them to work out, in percentage terms, exactly how rude I am Grin

You really want to know?

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 10/11/2011 17:54

I dont have a dog or a log. Or a frog.
I am thinking of starting a troll spreadsheet though Grin

@LadyBeagleEyes

Yes BIWI I've read this and all the other threads. But I'm a grown up, I can take personal insults on an anonymous forum. I think some people need to get a thicker skin.

You may be able to, LadyBeagleEyes, but lots of other people may not.

Our Talk Guidelines are there for a reason: we want Mumsnet to be about reasonable, reasoned, smart, funny, passionate debate, not about who can post the most insults.

Well, clearly, Justine made the decision based on what she had read as well as her own opinion.

ChippingInNeedsSleep · 10/11/2011 17:51

BIWI it is not an absurd accusation to make when Justine herself said...

Happy to consider lifting a ban - obviously if loads of people think we should - but I do think the Doghouse has to change and I'm not sure if DBF can moderate her posting style - currently it's very anti the spirit of the site

Hello Beyond yes, and am confused.

@LeBOF

There's a log? Shock

Oh, we log EVERYTHING.

That was your 42768th post, LeBOF....

BecauseImWorthIt · 10/11/2011 17:50

No, beyond, there's just an echo in here!

Hullygully · 10/11/2011 17:50

I have a dog. I want a log though.

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 10/11/2011 17:48

Hello Hedge weren't you here earlier? Grin

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 10/11/2011 17:47

I think randomly bringing SGB into this could be considered a personal attack... Wink

HedgeHop · 10/11/2011 17:47

Hello, I am new and don't know you all. I don't have a dog but I'd looked at the dog pages and learnt a lot from DBF, and I'm sorry she's gone.

LeBOF · 10/11/2011 17:46

@GrimmaTheNome

>often generalisations can be more insulting than an individual insult.

Yes - e.g. the way SGB can induce apoplexy but IME never insults an individual, and (AFAIK) rarely gets deleted.

Think it's fair to say that SGB has had a more than average number of deletions.

Are you trying to suggest that Helen isn't normal, Mme? I think that could be seen as a personal attack ...
