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

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?

MadamMemoo · 11/06/2011 19:43

I never thought I'd be saying thus but as somebody who battles with mental issues I was offended by some of Hullys comments on the last thread.

The ones about being "insane" and telling people "to go and take your pills".

Reality I've never got free stuff for having sex but I got a KitKat for showing Lee Finley my tits once at school.

balloonballs · 11/06/2011 19:44

madamememoo-are you insane? you will now get a plethora of posters telling you off for daring to critise anything any of their bretheren have saidShock. HA HA HA HA HA.

MadamMemoo · 11/06/2011 19:46

Pink, yes I actually am insane, thanks for asking

BitOfFun · 11/06/2011 19:47

Watch your derogatory comment about mental health there, Pink.

Tigerbomb · 11/06/2011 19:47

Well I'm Northern (North of Watford Gap) have a Yorkshire mother, am a Tiger and I am most certainly not a member of any club let alone a Royal one

I cant believe there is all this faff about a poster who may or may not exist and who is I expect wetting themselves with laughter over all the kerfuffle

I saw no racism or bullying on any of the threads, but did see some lyrics to songs that are probably best forgotten

StealthPolarBear · 11/06/2011 19:47

Twinklypears my thread was not started with the sole intention of attacking a poster. It was stArted with the sole intention of getting someone else to summarize a huge thread for me. And I apologized when you picked me up on it on that thread and agreed it should be deleted. What more do you want, blood?

balloonballs · 11/06/2011 19:47

Pink seriously, re read your last post and get. a. grip.

pink4ever · 11/06/2011 19:47

madame-sorry bad choice of words thereBlush.That was actually meant to be a supportive post. Apologies.

ShirleyKnot · 11/06/2011 19:48

I saw a magpie today. I saluted it.

I also saw a wood pigeon who was just sitting there in the rain. DS1 thought it was getting rid of ticks or fleas. I thought it was just a bit stupid.

Stupid

Some of the song lyrics were inspired. And extremely obscure.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 11/06/2011 19:49

Wood pigeons are stupid. But I like the noise they make.

BitOfFun · 11/06/2011 19:49

I used to think that the Watford Gap was the ditch that marked the North-South Divide. A bit like the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain.

ShirleyKnot · 11/06/2011 19:50

I often wondered about the Iron Curtain

Goblinchild · 11/06/2011 19:51

It is BOF, but some of us have crossed it many, many times.

SuePurblybilt · 11/06/2011 19:51

I always thought the North/South divide was something to do with pubic hair until that night at the pub quiz.
