Original poster

to think that Off The Beaten Track was a mistake

this isn't a thread about a thread, it's a thread about a topic, and some of the threads in it

so hopefully not bad form

I think it was amistake - it seems to be used for all the wrong reasons. For example the shiney crew feeling they ought to post on there because people were complaining about them being a clique - that seems wrong to me, MN is public and nobody should feel they have to retire to a private area. And the BoM thread which is full of personal attacks and insults - people seem to retire onto that thread to make the sort of remarks they wouldn't make on the main boards

I think it should be got rid of. What does everyone else think?

TITS!!!! BOF!!!!!!!!

Holy Lord woman.

penelopestitsdropped · 28/01/2011 23:18

but the attacks were not somewhere that the person couldn't see.

they were here, in Mumsnet where they could see.

i think this confusion is where the problem lays.

MummieHunnie · 28/01/2011 23:19

BOF, lovely paintings.

usualsuspect · 28/01/2011 23:20

'If you don't like it don't look'

thats bollocks, don't fucking post it where anyone can read it

usualsuspect · 28/01/2011 23:21

BOF you have lovely hair

penelopestitsdropped · 28/01/2011 23:21

BitOfFun · 28/01/2011 23:22

I am tempted to put the blow job one up now...it is quite abstract, shall I?

TrillianAstra · 28/01/2011 23:23

Abstract blow job? Yes please :o

LadyTremaine · 28/01/2011 23:24

No, I turned nasty and abusive when you drove me to it with your various inaccurate and inanity... if that's even a word.

Why would anyone want to know if they were being 'abused' on a forum... suerly what you dont know won't hurt you...? If you want to know than you have victim issues.

penelopestitsdropped · 28/01/2011 23:24

your fella manages to paint whilst recieving a blow job?

either you are shit or he is shit hot

have already seen the blowjob one and Shock

penelopestitsdropped · 28/01/2011 23:27

LadyT. seriously, i t hink it is time to at least accept that the behaviour of the posters on that thread was deplorable.

if you cannot see that then i think it is time to take a break

TrillianAstra · 28/01/2011 23:27

Come on then

GarconsSontCommeDesChiens · 28/01/2011 23:27

folks who slag off, or call their posse for a ruck/pile-in on threads elsewhere are pretty bitchy

If you've been busted don't moan, eh

ShirleyKnot · 28/01/2011 23:30

Look. You were involved in a shitty thing. There were posters named over there who weren't involved in this wrangle and you know it

This constant telling us that we shouldn't have looked is ridiculous and reaching

cornsilk · 28/01/2011 23:31

the pic that I saw at the meet up was a tad more graphic than that

BitOfFun · 28/01/2011 23:31

OK. For a limited time only...
