Dementors

Pot and kettle?
Just hide the threads if it offends your perceived right to scream murderer at people for following the actual guidelines not the ones people on mn are making up.
The hysteria on here is mindboggling. The inability for posters to recognise not everyone is the same and have different circumstances is depressing. The shouting "I hope you get it and die" for some wrongly perceived roolz breaking is vile. The amount of people who havent a clue about the actual guidelines but are screaming at people for breaking them just shows thier ignorance. They are the same whenever someone gives actual links to science proving them wrong they cant handle it they resort to name calling and CAPITAL LETTERS as if that makes them right.

The anti- dementor threads are supportive and fun a true oasis of sanity in the madness.

What a surprise
Op has vanished

I even saw one where a poster said “milk isn’t essential when you have fucking water coming out your tap”

Ugh.

Honestly, I really doubt these people believe half of what they are posting. They just get caught up in that pile on mentality where they compete to be the most righteous.

Then they walk away from MN forgetting what they have said not knowing or caring that it's causing more harm than good.

But the dementor threads dilute the “you’re a murdering bastard if you go out” message. That message should be given free reign don’t you know?

Anything that dilutes it should be immediately banned, so some posters can continue to litter the boards with “is it essential then no don’t fucking do it” type of abusive posts. I even saw one where a poster said “milk isn’t essential when you have fucking water coming out your tap”

@Drivingdownthe101 that's fair enough then.

MUUUUMMMMMM!!!
SHE CALLED ME A DEMENTOR AND I DONT LIKE IT!

well why did she do that dear

WELL I ONLY CALLED HER A SELFISH MURDERING CUUUUNNNT.
BUT THAT'S TRUE
I'M NOT REALLY A SMELLY DEMENTOR....

grow the fuck up.

The dementor threads are lifelines for those of us who need a refuge from the blindly uncritical following of all the government pronouncements, who need to be able to discuss risk in an objective fashion without being screamed at or abused, who need to be able to worry about the long term consequences of lockdown without the constant refrain of "But people are DYING", who would like to be able to discuss school reopening and which shops we'd like to see open and what holidays we'd like to go on without the gleeful screeching of how everything's going to be locked down until 2021 and how NAIVE are we for daring to hope.

That's what those threads provide - an oasis of hope amidst the competitive fucking misery spreading that so many posters absolutely revel in elsewhere on the site.

@Drivingdownthe101

There is very very little mocking going on on those threads, if any. The vast majority are regular posters who are really struggling mentally with various aspects of the lockdown and need a slightly more optimistic outlook. Many are suffering from anxiety and found that constantly being shouted down by others was destroying them. Many people have said those threads are a lifeline. So that is ITS. If others aren’t interested, they don’t have to read them

Yes! This exactly !! 👏🏻

@ITonyah 🤣🤣 what a good guess.

ClassicCola in the first thread yes, then we all agreed to keep it more general.

Are you kidding op? Get a grip.

They must have changed then because the last time I looked at one posters were quoting other posters and linking to threads.

Is this now not a thread about a thread?

I've definitely also had "its people like you which means we will be in lockdown until Christmas" etc etc and thst WAS because I went to two supermarkets inONE DAY

I'm not disputing that some posters are awful on the Corona threads, I'm just uncomfortable with MN allowing a thread mocking what other people post on here.

Oh my god
Can you still murder people and it not be a covid thing
Oh my god
I had no idea

Ha ha it was a non covid matter!!

Oh my god iTonyah you smiled and were happy
Oh my god have you no shame
Do you not understand the utter carnage you have caused

Hahahaha 🤣

userxx I think she bought a packet of non essential curly wurlies and ate them on a park bench.

I Tonya... great movie..

If I can withstand ‘psycho bitch’ I’m sure others can cope with ‘dementor’.
