There are other people on those threads than pitchforky ones./

IOf you don't like it don't read it but don't erode free speech on munsnet ffs

MrsDog · 11/04/2008 11:17

I don't think I've ever read a decent In the News Thread!

BetteNoir · 11/04/2008 11:16

I usually enjoy reading the 'In The News' topic though.
It's only the pitchforky (that is a proper word, honest!) ones clogging it up that spoil the whole thing.

MrsDog · 11/04/2008 11:12

Life is so much better if you ignore the In The News topic. If I want uneducated, illinformed vitriol I'll buy the Daily Mail.

BetteNoir · 11/04/2008 11:10

Have MNHQ made any decisions re this?

GetOrfMoiLand · 10/04/2008 13:15

Glad about this thread. The McCann speculation and stupidy last year was vile, and this is just as bad.

The story is bad enough without a load of frenzied speculation and witch hunting. Add to that a whole load of class warfare. Vile.

Thanks for this suggestion - it does make sense - I'll put it to the rest of the team (and techs) to see what they think and we'll come back to you.

fiodyl · 10/04/2008 12:35

HuwEdwards · 10/04/2008 12:35

fiodyl, you really are offensive.

ranting · 10/04/2008 12:30

I don't have a problem with disabilities, I do however, have a problem with pitchforks.

Mamazon · 10/04/2008 12:29

we have posters here who are blind fiodyl and many others who are disabled in some way.

you really aren't able to pull the disability card here.

fiodyl · 10/04/2008 12:25

stuffitllama · 10/04/2008 12:12

policywonk · 10/04/2008 12:10

I have bored them into submission

stuffitllama · 10/04/2008 12:10

ranting · 10/04/2008 12:09

Madeline Mccann.

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 10/04/2008 12:08

Madeleine McCann - MM

stuffitllama · 10/04/2008 12:08

MM?

ranting · 10/04/2008 12:08

Ah thank you, you've reminded me now why I avoid pitchforks at all costs.

policywonk · 10/04/2008 12:06

Well, quite a few posts are basically saying 'SM is evil scum wot hid her child in a bed to make money, innit'. With no Ian Hislop-style use of 'alledgedly' afterwards. I'm no lawyer, but someone yesterday was suggesting that this might be contempt of court now that SM has been charged.

ranting · 10/04/2008 12:03

PW, enlighten those of us who don't venture onto those threads, please.

policywonk · 10/04/2008 11:59

Also, MNHQ - have you taken advice on the contempt of court issue?

pooka · 10/04/2008 11:58

gr8 idea.

hercules1 · 10/04/2008 11:57

Are there a lot of text speakers on those threads? That's surely reason enough to limit it to one thread.

doggiesayswoof · 10/04/2008 11:56

Totally agree 2shoes.

Then I would only have to hide one thread.
