It turns out that MNHQ don't understand the difference between facts and opinions, and I can't respectfully challenge opinions that are solidly contradicted by science...so time to go our seperate ways.

It would be nice of there was a place on the internet for facts, but I suspect if there ever was its now gone for ever.

Oh my god, people still flounce!?! That's made my day, years since I caught one Grin

Lweji · 24/02/2020 21:40

MNHQ's issue wasn't facts, though, was it?

If you insult people just for being uninformed, then MN really isn't the place for you. Not sure how you manage to live in today's society, even. Unless you live in an tower, life must be hard.

MrsGrindah · 24/02/2020 21:46

I’ve left too OP. Oh hang on....

goodytooshoes · 24/02/2020 21:50

Goodbye my friend
I know you're gone, you said you're gone
But I can still feel you here
It's not the end
Gotta keep it strong
Before the pain turns into fear
So glad we made it
Time will never change it, no no no
No no no no

I've been here for the best part of a decade...you do forget how different and massive it is these days...

until you read the shite on the threads anyway.

It was mostly the virus bollocks, but also the mental health bollocks, with a massive side order of rape myths and victim blaming. Just can't be fucked to wade through it all anymore.

There maybe a special place in hell for people who flounce in _chat (as somebody pointed out - it maybe the depature lounge at Heathrow) but there's definitely one for people who spread misinformation about health related issues. If you don't know what the hell you are talking about then maybe, just maybe, you could STFU.

There is a flouncers corner for these announcements

I never knew this existed but I found it the other week - it's hilarious 😂

Bye OP 👋

M3lon · 24/02/2020 21:57

Now that I've fixed the whole of social media with those words of wisdom, I'll close my account - clearly not worth waiting for MN to get around to actually kicking me off....

Don't know the ins and outs, but on that flu thread it was said that flu had a fatality rate of 87, can't blame @M3lon for getting annoyed.

But anyway, bye Smile.

FlibbertyGiblets · 24/02/2020 22:02

EmThree* cmon now, remember it is just bumping gums, words on a screen etc.

*And look, you can't flounce, you got a nickname nickname now.

Don't know the ins and outs, but on that flu thread it was said that flu had a fatality rate of 87, can't blame @M3lon for getting annoyed.
The person who wrote that was joking because of all the myths that were appearing. she also mention feet turning blue. she says it was a joke in a later post but the OP here appears to have taken off on her on the thread.

@M31on Is summat else going on with you? Serious question. You are really snappy and stressed sounding. Can't just be us on here causing it. More to this perhaps?

Vikki69 · 24/02/2020 22:09

Bye

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

theoriginalmadambee · 24/02/2020 22:13

@JackieFazakerley oh thanks, saw the feet turning blue. Atleast i did get that joke Blush.

JackieFazakerley · 24/02/2020 22:18

@madambee I think a few people ( including OP here) were a bit confused GrinFlowers

Mysterian · 24/02/2020 22:30

I think the OP isn't thinking their best due to not feeling well. Probably bitten by a virus or something. They come through the channel tunnel you know.

Redglitter · 24/02/2020 22:34

It’s not Heathrow love, you don’t need to announce your departure

😂😂 I love that

NewYearNewTwatName · 24/02/2020 22:44

TopShelf · 24/02/2020 22:50

Have a few days off then come back with a change of name.

theoriginalmadambee · 24/02/2020 22:55

I actually think it is quite sad when someone posts a good bye post and is made fun of.

When I leave i want you all to cry and say please don't. How will I ever achieve that? nobody knows me 😢

dustibooks · 24/02/2020 23:03

I've had the flu.

Likethebattle · 25/02/2020 00:37

Madambee if you want I’ll cling to your leg tearfully as you go. £25 but for another £10 I’ll beg you to stay!

theoriginalmadambee · 25/02/2020 00:46

@Likethebattle oh thank you, then I won't have to post on every thread to be noticed 🤣. We can make a deal and I'll do the same for you, same price?

Likethebattle · 25/02/2020 07:28

@madambee deal!
