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?

Let's get some motherfucking STOLLEN

I am depressed because I am on a train which left London 2 hours ago and which is not moving very quickly because of high winds and 'trespassers'

TRESPASSERS? People walking idly down the train tracks in the Cotswolds in DECEMBER?

Wth respect the trains can get fucked as well.

I didn't see any buns.

Even christmas ones.

It's still weird around here.

Mumsnet is a privately owned website, they can run it as they please.

In their opinion, it was a bunfight and so they deleted it accordingly. Their shout.

Likewise, by their own rules, a thread about a thread breaks talk guidelines, so they deleted that too.

Really not seeing all the handwringing about this, unless it's all agitation prior to setting up some Moldies-esque breakaway group. Which will provide some nice Xmas drama, so feel free to continue.

Why does nobody ever post "have you got nothing better to do" telly addicts or S and B threads? Confused Its seems you're only allowed to be on MN if you're happy.

I've got horrible deadlines staring at me, but if we let it all go, if we don't stand up for RIGHT, then where will we be?

Have you got nothing better to do than post 'have you got nothing better to do'? On an internet forum?

youretoastmildred · 05/12/2013 17:14

PiperChapman, if you are too busy and important to bother with mn, what are you, er, doing on mn?

Is heated debate classed as bunfighting now?

PiperChapman · 05/12/2013 17:13

have you seriously got.nothing better to do than get 'boiling made about a thread on a forum?

usualsuspect · 05/12/2013 17:12

It wasn't much of a bunfight.

It said

We're just getting in touch because we've deleted your thread "Why was my Santa thread deleted??" Sorry to be humourless and all that, but as you could see that the first had been deleted for bunfight reasons, it did seem like a bit of a deliberately inflammatory thread about a thread. Which is against the rules, as you know...

WHICH IS FINE EXCEPT THAT BOTH REASONS ARE ENTIRELY INACCURATE. Which would be apparent to anyone that actually RTFT

It is absolute madness, I agree.

Ever since Helen left, actually...
