Trump thread.........

Feel sorry i missed it now

Although i have been on a few of them and i would agree that the tone on this latest one had changed slightly

I know HQ isn't allowed to tell us who reported it but since none of us did.....

Rousette - thanks, I did wonder if that was the reason

I saw that chris thread time4, it was the fact it was clearly a TAAT that it was pulled.

Whereas this is... ummm.... just like minded people rabbiting on

Oops cross post with lornamumsnet - at least all is a bit clearer now.

Lornamumsnet - can I ask what happened to the Chris.....thread on same board about an hour later? there were only six or so posts and then it went poof!

I think having followed a lot of Claig's threads over the months and her interest/passion that this was not of her doing. I am fairly certain she is not one for silencing either - come back Claig!!

Squishy

Bertrand - I was lurking but it wasn't me - would love to see a cut and paste of email to see what a proper telling off looks like .

It was reported by Tony Blair disguised as an owl backed up by the Bildeburg group. Only explanation.

I'd be surprised if Claig reported her own thread too, but stranger things have happened.

There were some pretty personal insults directed at one poster who was also accused of asking the same questions too often too. I posted quite late with an observation that the joking appeared to have become very ad hominem/feminam and the light-hearted banter seemed to have become less light-hearted.

Intriguing. You can drop into those threads at any time and take off where you left off so intrigued as to what changed.

"Well, I was told off for asking the same question too often on the last but one thread, so anything's possible."

By who, Bertrand???

Claig bless 'er would no way have her own thread pulled! She may have got a bit exasperated weren't we all but she loves her threads too much (this is not me being snidey, it's fact and claig has tenacity and would not just give up)

Much as I pretty much disagree with everything Claig says, I can't imagine her throwing a hissy fit and demanding her thread be pulled, so I doubt it was removed at the request of the OP.

Squishy - I was lurking on the thread until about 10/10.30pm then got waylaid (dropped off on the sofa ) I checked in again about 11.30pm and it had completely disappeared. When I read at 10.30pn it was derailed slightly and there was a discussion about police presence in Cologne and it was a bit heated but, I can't recall anything hugely controversial/insulting at that point, I have certainly read worse over the last few months.

Agree time4.
Was anyone here on the thread after about 7 pm last night? What happened? Did anyone get an message from MNHQ?

If OP has requested the whole thread (and anything related subsequently) to be completely wiped then that is of course absolutely fine.

However, if this isn't the case the Politics and EU Ref threads are known for getting heated and there have been plenty of insults thrown both ways over the last 7/8 months and, if a line has been crossed, a post/thread has subsequently been deleted by HQ and we normally get an explanation of why - this particular thread has just completely disappeared without trace quickly followed by a subsequent one on the same board . Please can we have an update of some sort MNHQ?

May have been reported by a lurker? I don't think anyone from the anti-Trump side would have reported - even if they were being personally insulted - because once you've been sucked in, it's quite frustrating to see a thread zapped.
The insults I saw weren't that bad either - all that limo brittle lipstick libs and hairy feminist stuff is too childish and daft to be seriously bothered by, there was much worse stuff on other threads.
I agree it did get badly derailed (but then so did the others) the last I saw of it was a debate about whether a police presence was necessary at political protest, or whether opposing sides should be left to fight it out. Daft, but not deletion worthy.

It did get rather more personally insulting towards the end and there was in particular what my son would call 'beef' between two regular posters with opposing views. Very strange since those threads are pretty barmy anway.

True! bertrand.... although I think she'd upped the anti somewhat...

I caught up on the thread before bedtime and did think that the whole mood of the thread had changed compared to previous threads, with a few insults flying about. And also a GF who was just trying to get a rise out of limo lipstick libs or whatever she called them.

Perhaps it imploded after I fell asleep!
