Daily Mail thread 5

DP, it's MOnkeytrousers, man.

Mrs Eric Bana MT

Sheesh, I try and make it easy for youse guys

MrsE;

have i ever spoken to you before all this DM thing..?

Hell no, DP. Lets just roll with the punches.

sorry MrsE...didn't want you caught in the crossfire...

ps;

i wont ever mention i like you again...i will admire you from afar

says you, bamboo. not me. so if it's a vote then we cancel each other out on that, no? so what about discussing it, there's no problem with that i assume?

and i think it's an interesting point about lurkers, if indeed they do outnumber posters 20 to 1 (and i'd love to see how that's calculated, because a repeat lurkers is quite different to a googler who reads one thread and never returns imo) then i think we're putting on quite a show for them and i for one would liek the ability to edit my posts and delete them if i want to.

i mean, i presume i'm a lurker on moneysavingexpert, in that their threads often come up for things i'm searching and i occasionally click on them. i'd hate to think that someoen would be refused the option of deleting posts just so that i could have that casual click and then move on. seems a bit topsy turvy to me.

{grin].I think if you read back the posts on the thread you are referring to the heartless person is obvious.Now finally lets leave this.

Can I please step in here and ask you both to go to your respective houses.

NH, off to Ravenclaw!

DP, back to Slytherin!

Work it out on the Quidditch pitch

i doubt you've got one

My heart bleeds

well you agree on that. Halleullia.

I've been posting for about 18months Aitch, I name change regularly - no doubt you'll take issue with that, but I will not be drawn into an argument.

Justine is right - the archives are a valuable MN resource

a funny thing happened on the way back from that thread NH...quite a few posters contacted me off board to ask me if i was ok, they thought the way i was treated was awful...a few suggested i get MNHQ to delete it...i didn't want that, i want the thread to stay..it was what i thought at the time and i'm not ashamed of it, i apologised on the thread....alot of posters came out looking alot worse than me...and as you say, it was a MN low.

interesting that xxxbambooxxx doesn't want the archives messed around with... hers is not a name i recognise, so she is presumably mostly a lurker.

so.

do lurkers have the same rights on MN as posters?

if posters want their posts mass deleted and MNHQ won't comply, does that in fact give lurkers more rights than posters? how can that be?

you're right MrsE..

and tbh, i think me backing MNHQ 100% was the last thing they needed....ha ha

DP, are your estrogen and progesterone levels in flux?

DP I have said leave it and that is the best thing to do Some people will never agree and we are 2 of those.That was controlled because if I had said what i really thought it would have been a lot harsher.I stand by everything I said on that thread it was shocking and a real MN low.

I wish Marr would fuck off

Actually though the media use the forums to bolster an agrgument don't they..

Andrew Marr: 'So Prime Minister, a huge 78% of people on the Vent Your Speen forum think you should, and I quote, 'fuck off to the oil rigs'. This is official. I've had my PA's running their skinny arses off verifying it this morning. How can you ignore such a huge majority of the voting public?... So will you be fucking off soon?'

maybe it's just the effect i have on you then....what did you say..

DP, hope you get banned

everything DP posts is carefully thought out to manipulate

DP is the biggest egotist MN has ever had..

ummm....hardly in control were you.

Thanks DP, but sometimes I think you agreeing with me gets me into all kinds of trouble

i have never gone nuts in my life

Oh god, yes. Been around for years. It's Monkeytrousers! I'm thinking the one about the Danish cartoons.

I genuinely think that most people who have been arguing against this have been indulging their first instincts - knee jerk, DM bad/MN good, etc without really listening and trying to appreciate MNHQ's arguments. This may have been exacerbgated by MNHQ not being exactly sure what their argument was however, hence the poll being slightly woolly.

Barricades were built and defended far too quickly imho.

yes NH i know what you think of me, and trust me..the feeling is more than mutual..

which is a shame, because untill you went nuts on my SN thread i thought you were borderline ok.

It was three years ago MrsEric -were you around then? Don't want to specify the thread, as we're not supposed to identify LH's old name.
