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?

Trillian. is yelling "come on then" on a bunfight thread not just asking for trouble?

I can imagine you standing there with a bat in your hand waiting for an almighty ruck to ensue

You just look slightly shocked in that pic BoF - like maybe there are no more mint Cornettos and you'll have a strawberry and you can't understand how the situation could have arisen.

LadyT, you are a grown woman, who is responsible for her own behaviour, you need to stop passing the buck and take responsibility for yourself and your actions.

No, I turned nasty and abusive when you drove me to it

BitOfFun · 28/01/2011 23:34

cornsilk- that was part of the reference material Grin

TrillianAstra · 28/01/2011 23:34

:o Penelope - the "come on then" was asking BoF to hurry up with the blowjob pics - some of us are not so nocturnal.

Not very interested in the bunfight TBH. Did anyone see if they bitched about me at all? Or bitching about non-parents even? No?

cornsilk · 28/01/2011 23:35

lol BOF Grin

ShirleyKnot · 28/01/2011 23:35

Give over will you? If you think I'm going to start re posting the stuff on that thread you're very much mistaken.

Your moral outrage at all this rings a bit hollow TBH.

GarconsSontCommeDesChiens · 28/01/2011 23:35

heh heh cornetto

Slimbo the point is that it's Not On and decent folk don't do it - capisce?

reelingintheyears · 28/01/2011 23:35

Can't be arsed to read the whole lot of this....

If you don't want to read OTBT then don't bother.

[duh]
There's loads more to choose from Smile

ShirleyKnot · 28/01/2011 23:36

Anyway. BOF BAN THIS SICK FILTH. (I've seen that pic before?)

TrillianAstra · 28/01/2011 23:37

Show us the new original sick filth!

ShirleyKnot · 28/01/2011 23:37

cockadoodledon't.

I dont care abotu your petty little squabble. I am interested in your justification of back room bitching.

it was wrong and you should apologise rather than continuing to try and defend your actions.

MummieHunnie · 28/01/2011 23:44

Slimbo, I don't remember anything about step mum's seeling partners? who slagged you off, what thread are you speaking about?

BitOfFun · 28/01/2011 23:44

Have sent Reality the unseen sick filth. I think my account will spontaneously combust if I put it on my profile, sorry.

ShirleyKnot · 28/01/2011 23:45

I know you didnt say anything about me Confused

Whatever, you clearly think that slagging posters off on mumsnet, is fine. Most others people don't. I personally use the PM system and have found it to be most effective in trash talking without the person being able to read it.

Squawk all you like, that thread was vile.
