Wands, groin, lapin ?

Is this turning into a rampant rabbit thread?

mrsjohnsimnelcake · 09/04/2007 20:00

and i agree re the xenia stuff, i have big reseoct for the woman, and am intruged by her point of view.. we have had a lovely civilised chat all weekend... and i respect ehr more for that- somebody did suggest i was childish to start, but i wasn't having a go at her, i was wanting to have a discussion with her... see, it can work

Look, just because you all love Alan Rickman but can't have him, doesn't mean you can turn Snape into a gay boy and make Dumbledore his secret lover. I think you will find both have a healthy appetite for women anyway....

AitchTwoOh · 09/04/2007 19:56

watch out for DumbledoresGirl's Army, they've got wands.

MrsPhilipGlenister · 09/04/2007 19:50

Come out, you are surrounded by armed bastards...

AitchTwoOh · 09/04/2007 19:49

'course you are, DG. of course you are. all those special looks between Snape and your friend Dumbledore Meant Nothing At All...

I'm on here less recently partly due to being too busy in RL and partly due to not knowing anyone anymore!

mrsjohnsimnelcake · 09/04/2007 19:46

DumbledoresGirl · 09/04/2007 19:44

No, I am the very real adherent to a philosophy propounded by a fictional heterosexual wizard!

SherlockLGJ · 09/04/2007 19:43

As a self confessed addict, I am spending less and less time here.

I like funny, I like witty, I hate bitchy and I reallly hate judgmental.

AitchTwoOh · 09/04/2007 19:41

i know, i'm getting all mixed up, amn't i? so anyway, are you the fake daughter or the fake girlfriend of an imaginary dead gay wizard?

Snaf · 09/04/2007 19:41

I mean, of course, I do.

DumbledoresGirl · 09/04/2007 19:40

controversial even

Snaf · 09/04/2007 19:40

I am.

There are three threads atm on subjects very close to my heart, and about which I hold strong, passionate (and of course completely infallible ) views.

But I can't be arsed with the arguing and the backbiting and the namecalling and the generalised bollocks which seems to attend much of MN these days [spineless old fart with ridiculously short memory emoticon]. Just looking at them makes me feel weary.

So I'm staying away and keeping my opinions to myself. Which, I'm sure you'll agree, is a keenly-felt loss for everyone. Hehe.

DumbledoresGirl · 09/04/2007 19:39

H2O (I am not going to dignify you by writing your name out in full) DD bats for the other side? Now that is contraversial!

AitchTwoOh · 09/04/2007 19:39

yeay, rusty. i really do agree with you there. and that's one of the reasons why i find the implacable xenia unbelievably impressive despite disagreeing with her opinions.

RustyBear · 09/04/2007 19:36

I do think some posters are too quick to shout 'bullies' when three or four posters in a row disagree with them - especially if they feel it's a 'clique' that's persecuting them. But if you think about it, it's hardly surprising that people with similar views on many subjects become MN friends, or that they then all post on those subjects.

And as far as the current SAHM/WOHM threads are concerned, one of the main reasons they've stayed civilised is that Xenia never cries bully despite having far more reason than pretty much anyone else round here to suspect that people may be ganging up. And I say that as someone who heartily disagrees with most of what she has to say on that subject)

I also dont think posters should be called patronising simply because they use correct grammar & spelling, as long as they don't correct anyone else.
