So I come back to find that you have deleted my thread asking why my Santa thread was deleted.

Of course it was a thread about a thread, it was asking a question about the thread.

Wtf else is one supposed to do?

I put it in site stuff.

It was also a really nice friendly thread full of poetry and laughs. Why why why why was it deleted? What the hell is going on there?

Secondly, if one wants to talk about something, and that something has been deleted purely owing to others mischief, does that mean that one is never to talk about that subject again??

How mad is that?

@Hullygully

"gave up their Friday evening"

was very unfortunate wording

but unlike that accorded to me, I will give you the benefit of the doubt

Fair point

The invitation was kindly and generously extended to MNHQers and several of us very happily attended

What I'm objecting to is that in doing so they unwittingly laid themselves open to having aspersions cast on their professional ability

I imagine it would be praying mantis shaped :o

Liking the idea of a bug button

HootShoot · 05/12/2013 22:54

Clearly this isn't my battle but didn't someone say earlier that they were there at the death of the first thread and they weren't surprised it was deleted as it was a bun fight?

usualsuspect · 05/12/2013 22:53

I may be being thick here again but wtf has the meet up got to do with this?

SconeForAStroll · 05/12/2013 22:53

How bad could it possibly have got?

Was there Aheming and Peace and Love bombing tried or was it straight to the bug red button?

It just seems another situation where locking the thread would have prevented all this angst.

@Hullygully

Rowan, that means I can never start threads, you see that, don't you?

No, we don't see that at all

@ExitPursuedByAChristmasGrinch

So we should be grateful that MNHQ turned up to the meet up?

I couldn't go

Of course not!

Snargaluff · 05/12/2013 22:51

Personal comments about the mnhq staff on this thread are so out of order, Rowan is right.

@Hullygully

BUT IT WASN'T A SODDING BUNFIGHT!!!

And I for one have not been rude about anyone.

Well we'll take another look - but in the first analysis it looks as though we disagree with you

@BIWI

What is wrong with banter?

Nothing - and nothing's been deleted for being banter

Mintyy · 05/12/2013 22:49

Don't agree that the op is dodgy. Do agree that it is not on to cast aspersions about individual hqers.

@SconeForAStroll

Rowan, if the bunfighting aspects were personal attacks on hully, and she was happy to ignore them, why did the thread get deleted?

Because we don't apply the rules according to posters' personal preferences. It would be madness.

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 22:48

MNHQ didn't organise it, they were invited, they could easily have made their excuses.

And it was a Saturday

Gerrit right.

SconeForAStroll · 05/12/2013 22:48

Sorry x-post

youretoastmildred · 05/12/2013 22:48

Actually I didn't go, have no idea which mn-ers were there, have nothing against any of them and do think it is a bit much that they can be so exposed on here and think we should be nice about them just out of kindness, becauase it is a bastard to do a job where a million people can spot your mistakes while sitting on their arse at home, not because they turn up and have a drink
