That warning about rats!!

Seriously?

Hasn't this gone a bit far now? A warning because of a picture of a rat?

I can't get my head around a poster actually reporting that. How many reports do you need before you decide to add a warning?

What happens if 20 posters tell you they're scared of something do you just add a warning?

I'm actually agog

It's utterly ridiculous - I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

It's overkill.

People have phobias of all kinds of stuff.

I'm phobic of spiders but if I clicked on a topic and there was a photo I would just click back... I can't look at the rat thread anymore, it was making me cross.

Hang on, did you say trousers?! Despicable! I must report this thread forthwith Shock

I have a massive phobia of rats - I didn't think to report it but so glad someone did. I know it seems daft but it was horrible clicking on the thread and seeing a photo of one.

I love rats, what have I missed?

Trousers you say? You could have warned me what this thread about before I clicked on it!! I am reporting forthwith.

Yes

We'll form a gang and randomly declare phobias of trousers over on S&B.

warning: this thread contains pics of trousers

There is a real 'I'm telling on you' element on MN at the moment

I actually want to test that theory with something random Grin
