The trans rights thread in Talk. Why delete it, it was within guidelines and a brilliant retort to an obvious troll.

We are now the Knights who say "Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang, zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringnmmm". Ni

I had just started reading when it went poof. I was very disappointed.

The time has come the walrus said
To speak of many things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
Of cabbages and Kings
Of where the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings

@DefineHappy

I am disproportionately upset that I missed it. It just confirms what a shitty day (week/year/etc) I’ve had, when I miss out on unicorns, trolls and poetry.
And Mornington Crescent. But there’s no reason we can’t have all that on this thread too.
SunflowersInTheShade · 04/11/2021 02:23

It was barely trolling too. Really nothing to delete in it.

@ErrolTheDragon

Did the OP post anything other than the first post? Is it trolling to star a thread stating something you believe which nobody argues with?
One other post, replying to a saying about the complexity of the universe.

So gutted I missed it, I wasn't even doing anything interesting Sad

Couldn’t we keep that troll as a pet if we promise to look after it?

*direct sunlight will kill it
*never give it water
*never ever feed it after midnight

We made no haikus
Before most cruelly snatched
Was our lovely thread

donquixotedelamancha · 03/11/2021 23:14

I've reported the OP, asking MN to reinstate the original thread. If everyone does the same MN will notice.

Whitefire · 03/11/2021 23:11

I was just getting going to Urmston with dinnerladies.

EyesOpening · 03/11/2021 23:08

They seek him here, they seek him there, that elusive sha-a-a-dow.

@Phobiaphobic

I am so gutted I missed this. It's like everyone saw the unicorn except me. Sad
I posted that there was a unicorn! And a squirrel.
MrsOvertonsWindow · 03/11/2021 22:54

Agreed. Twas a shame MNHQ that one of you had a sense of humour bypass this evening.
That thread was whimsical and rather lovely.

Helleofabore · 03/11/2021 22:52

At least on that thread I knew where my towel was!

beastlyslumber · 03/11/2021 22:50

Honestly. What did they have to do that for? It was a lovely thread!

In terms of children's books, I am not in the least religious but the chapter in Pollyanna when she meets the minister in the woods and talks about the 800 'rejoicing' texts, always brings a lump to my throat. The chapter ends -

'Thus it happened that the Rev. Paul Ford's sermon the next Sunday was a veritable bugle-call to the best that was in every man and woman and child that heard it; and its text was one of Pollyanna's shining eight hundred:

"Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, ye righteous, and shout for joy all ye that are upright in heart."

Dontstepinthecowpat · 03/11/2021 22:29

It was delicious. Like the MN of old.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 03/11/2021 22:28

Are we staging a replay?

Because I was just about to submit
millennium hand and shrimp! when the last thread went poof!

FlibbertyGiblets · 03/11/2021 22:26

Beautiful prose. It were wasted on me when I was a nipper but my Dad rolled the words around his mouth approvingly.
