to wonder when MNHQ introduced the policy to delete threads simply because people are disagreeing?

[Mamaz0n]

I was just on a thread.
There was a disagreement over whether or not something was racist/offensive.

I could see no personal attacks, there was nothing that breached the talk guidelines.
I have no idea why the thread has been deleted.

So i can only assume it was because there was a disagreement on it.

Is this a new policy? Will we be seeing the vast majority of all threads being deleted now then?

oh i wasn't on last night so the beginning of the orphanage thread is the only one i have seen

all jumping to each others defence. Thank you for proving my point ladies. Nothing to do with enjoying others posts/having a laugh. It took on a nasty tone on that thread that was unnessacary.
There are posters on here who I look out for(very few admittedly as dont pay much attention to names). However I will admit my ears prick up when I see posts from scottishmummy,anyf or wwifn. Doesnt mean I wouldnt tell them they were talking shite if I thought they were talking shite though. Dont care how long they been posting on here. Too many pussies who will immediately back down if challenged by an oldie or well known poster.

I'll say it again... MN is bonkers at the moment.

Haha

Only just signed up. What have I done, lol?

Oh Pinky, Pinky, Pinky

hully-I am a hopeless case-save yourself.

pink - admirable quality.

But i have been here forever, have been named on numerous "royalty" threads and consider myself fucking awesome.
I don't back down to anyone!

I say what i think to the post, not the poster. Though there are a couple who stick out as being continuously irritating. So i may go a little further with them.
But tbh there are so many newbies and namechangers i havent got a clue who anyone is anymore anyway

"shirley-I did read the whole thread. Couldnt give a flying feck whether it was racist or not as agree op was most likely trolly. However I didnt like the tone it then took on when loads of regulars/oldies/royalty(whatever you want to style yourselves) took said thread over in a quite insidious way. I agree with one of the other posters that it all smacked of gang mentality and was taken a bit too far. IMO"

WHAT? What exactly are you trying to say here? Is the point you are trying to make that every thread should stick to topic and that no one should ever relate to anyone else ever?

GANG MENTALITY? Do me a favour - if your idea of a GANG MENTALITY is confined to a few posters who have something in common (ie: SOUTH LONDON FFS) having a laugh then best you actually read up on what GANG MENTALITY is.

I am aware that I am in a no win situation here - If I defend myself against (with evidence BTW) calls of racism I am "defensive" and probably "Racist because I didn't NAME YOU AS A RACIST" or if I defend myself against accusations of GANG MENTALITY then I'm probably in a gang.

Just FYI - I am neither RL friends or even FB friend with any of those on THAT thread. We were just having some fun, at the expense of NO ONE.

Lastnights thread was soooooo funny really made me giggle it was MN at it's best. The op was clearly a troll but it got pulled for troll hunting. We didn't hunt the troll was already there playing along with us very happily too I may add

Pink some of the people defending the so called royalty are dull 'mostly lurkers' like me. I don't agree with everything that is said by the most prolific posters but I do find having them around a good ol laugh.

Nothing has proved your point.

I really enjoyed the vast majority of the apology thread yesterday. Very silly. Does everything have to be dull and sanitised?

well i clearly missed the funny thread cos the one i saw is still there.

Oh and Pink?

WWIFN has fucking LEFT mumsnet - taking with her all the lovely kindly advice that she had to give, so..y'know? you can shut the fuck up about her, cos she's not here anymore to listen to you and your kind of unmitigated BULLSHIT

I have no idea who wwifn is.

There's another lovely thread going down...there's another lovely thread going down...all about us blatant racisters

Did she leave, Shirl? That's a bloody shame.

I didn't know WWIFN had left! How come?

(Sorry to ask you directly Shirley, I realise that it is a bit familiar and therefore SINISTER and GANGLIKE).

Am I fucking Royalty now?

cunts

Bloody hell - WWIFN has left?

Thank you pumpernickel10 that just about sums it up.

Somebody was pretending to be someone from a certain group and used stereotypes to build up her 'character' some other people responded using stereotypes ABOUT THEIR OWN CULTURE ie. poking fun at THEMSELVES

I am prepared to hold my hands up and say I went too far with the oblique references to pegs and lucky heather but then we had done pages and pages about sarf east London stuff, none of it flattering to where I COME FROM.

Just thought I'd add something which I never believe when I read it here but you'll just have to take my word for it. I come from a traveller family. Well, two generations ago. I would never ever ever make racist comments about travellers. Ever.

I think it's very nice of Snowflake to say that not everybody hates to see people making friends on here and having a larf, but, er I hope I don't infect her with my insidious stink.

Shirley - don't let Pink get to you. She is just plain wrong.

Cheerful songs to lighten the mood?

Show me the way to the next whisky baaaar,
Ohh don't ask why,
Oh don't ask why....

Oh, yes she's fucking gone.

As a gang member and a member of MN Royalty I am privy to this information...FFS

Uh...There was a sustained campaign by a number of wankers and WWIFN was hounded off the boards.

A true loss to MN. And maybe a bit of a flag for all of us.

I am a Romany.
