Page 3 | Can we be allowed to post 'oh do fuck off' in certain circumstances. Like when people post 'is that really all you have to worry about?'

Could we not have one each. Like a waiver. Please.

Chubfuddler · 12/02/2013 08:41

Is fuck off a personal attack? I don't see how. It's not an attack on someone's character. It's not personally insulting. It's sweary but we do that here.

I think we should either be allowed to say oh do fuck off when merited or......

We need a hide poster button

I'm sorry that happened to you green.

Fwiw I don't think an unwarranted attack would be supported by 'chums' on here - certainly not without some considerable dissent.

But I think you are slightly missing my point which is that in terms of being upsetting and rude -
'I feel sorry for your children' or 'is that all you have to worry about' are just as bad as fuck off. I think 'I feel sorry for your children' is about the lowest thing you can post on here. Yet people can post that with impunity.

I think telling those types to fuck off would be thoroughly cathartic.

I know what you mean Pagwatch I don't like that either. But it would be abused by people who just like the idea of swearing at people.

One persons hearty riposte is another persons horribly upsetting insult. If one person posts F off and then thirty of their chums join in you've got a bloodbath on your hands. I know I sound melodramatic but this happened to me and I still haven't got over it ten years on. It's worst if you have managed to trust the site to be full of well meaning friends and suddenly you realise you are just today's plaything to be ripped up and spat out.

It is also pretty upsetting to post about a problem and have one utter twat post ' is that is all you have to worry about op?'

I keep patiently posting 'the op may have many things to worry about but this is what she is talking about just now' but fuck off is sometimes a more apt response to such a spiteful posting.

It is snide and smug and sneery. All my least favourite s words.
(except shiny shit. Of course)

I've managed to post YAAC & it has lasted for at least 4 hours.

If any one tells me to fuck off - it's no big deal at all. It's only rock & roll internet life. If you can't take the heat - get outta the kitchen.

greencolorpack · 11/02/2013 22:02

No no no no.

It can be horribly upsetting being told on the Internet to F off. And once one popular poster says it everyone else feels free to pile in. It can be horrible being the only one facing an angry gang swearing and laughing at you and .... Ugh.

Just no.

Please, please, please can we have the smiley poo emoticon.

I had shiny shit once, I have edible glitter that just passes straight through. Last time I discussed it on here it made the talk roundup.

ODFOD needs a PA :) , possibly on the next line for added effect thusly:

oh do fuck off dear

:)

or can we just have a [headtilt]? A [headtilt] isn't a personal attack, PA or otherwise, it's expressing genuine concern for a poster's wellbeing.

nickelbabe · 11/02/2013 20:15

tsc oh they like
swearing - one of the best things about being an adult. they just don't like personal attacks.

I think you'll find Pag that my shiny shit lingers more than in the memory.

shhh, Rusty, they'll be onto you!

When I tried to type ODFOD, my iPad tried to autocorrect it to Oxford. Maybe we could use that as a non-deletable code....

Absy · 11/02/2013 17:23

Please Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease can we do this? And in our personal lives as well?

Pag asked. She's the voice of reason on MN. Sometimes. I mean, she's a bit mardy at the moment but otherwise she's alright.

Sparklingbrook · 11/02/2013 17:22

Friendly smiley poo emoticon For when they are just talking a bit of poo.

Sparklingbrook · 11/02/2013 17:17

I have one on my Sky emails nickel. Comes in handy to complainy e-mails to utility companies.

nickelbabe · 11/02/2013 17:16

Sparkling - perfect :)

nickelbabe · 11/02/2013 17:16

I just had to say "oh do fuck off" to an automated phonecall then.

bastards.

I want an ODFOD too.

Sparklingbrook · 11/02/2013 17:16

I think that's where my 'pile of poo with flies round it' emoticon would be just the ticket. 'You are talking poo No swearing.

@FlouncingMintyy

Thing is, KateSMumsnet, that sometimes there really is absolutely nothing else to be said other than "Oh do fuck off!". You know, when a poster is being an utter arse. What are we supposed to say to those numpties?

Tumbleweed is usually incredibly vexing it you're an utter arse.

Interestingly, a huge wall of silence often provokes them to move on from utter arsiness into bannable offences.
