Threadkillers unite! Are we boring or do we forever have the last word?

[SamusIsAGirl]

By My Diabolical Power - all threads I post on or create are DEAD! If there is a a long-winded thread - we will kill it dead!

I do this! I like to think that it's because I normally give the best answer, and nobody else has anything to add

Me too. I don't know how i do it.
It's like walking into a conversation at a party, speaking then everyone else staying silent looking at their shoes

That's what I want to think, that what I say is SO WISE that it cannot be matched. Rather than everyone thinking who this massive weirdo is. Mumnset is so much like secondary school sometimes.

Yes! I feel a bit out of step with the average Mumsnetter, to be fair - everyone here seems to get het up about things I wouldn't give a second thought to...

Me too 🥴

Yes, people being upset about others thinking they are bad people because of infinitesimal things or things they don't have control over. Or that someone looks different to them. Or that it's the teatime of the gods if people don't 'like' their posts on social media...

Not things like the biggest refugee crisis since WWII, the climate emergency and the culture of greed and overwork that destroys minds bodies and the planet.

Aargh! You went too deep and killed it I tend to do that sometimes too.

Anyway, wanted to awaken your thread and show my solidarity - I'm also a thread killer and often relieved when someone else posts after me.

fingers crossed

Yep, I did indeed go too deep. Although I sometimes wonder if I have been the cause of grief and anguish because I have insulted someone or slighted someone when in reality I HAVE NO CLUE since I was only interacting 'normally'. Or an AS interpretation of normal. Note not ASS interpretation, honest!

Another one here too. I can't keep up with the speed of posts and by the time I'm finished posting everyone else has moved on!

I link to facts. That's a killer

I have found my people! Anxiously waiting for someone to post after me now.

I don't think I've ever been a thread killer so I'll wait and see if I manage it this time 😆

@BarefootHippieChick ... ... I don't want to give you the glory

We are clearly just wise people . . .

And so endeth the thread now I am here.

So many times, doesn’t bother me though.

It does when there's 3-4 threads that were busy then I killed them dead.

I think you could exercise your super power for diplomacy, if a thread looks like it's getting a bit heated you could pop in and kill it before things get out of hand.

I'm a thread killer I like to think it's because I post so often that it's bound to happen occasionally ha ha.

Oh yes, this is me. I do think I miss the point of the OP sometimes though, then I feel silly. Doesn't stop me coming back and doing it again though

Diplomacy?!?!? Unless it is Big Stick diplomacy when I hit them on the head with a big stick. I have a reputation for being blunt.

I didn't stop replying because you went too deep - just had to dial into a Zoom meeting and stop MNing! I think my bluntness is a definite issue on here - I tend to just state The Correct Answer, very authoritatively, in a way that probably does shut down debate

I see that too. I'm an introvert and more a listener than a talker. But then when I do speak up its when I know I am correct or at least can back things up with data.

Again, that can shut down debate.

This thread is dangerously close to being killed by either me or you, @SamusIsAGirl!

I tend to be a lurker, when I eventually pluck up the courage to post it's an instant kill for the thread. Like now...
