... for some people to accuse others of 'bullying' or 'attacking' when they have their views disagreed with?

I've noticed a few threads on here in the last couple of days where anyone putting across a contrary view to the OP gets accused of being mean/bullying/personally attacking. I don't like it. Aren't people allowed to disagree anymore?

More to the point, I've noticed that some of the people complaining about 'bullies' are ganging up with each other to 'tell someone off' which comes across as a bit... well... bullying.

Still at what? Having some LULZ? Lighten up. You'll get frown lines.

I already have those. Comes from being a cynical old twat. Tell me something funny and I might actually laugh

BitOfFun · 05/08/2011 23:12

You need a bit of a rapport to get other people's humour, generally. And I'm not feeling the love.

Oh address book ,I'm a cynical old twat too

MN is what you make it ,sometimes it pisses me off and sometimes it makes me laugh

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:13

Oh 'scuse me, I didn't realise I was here to amuse you, addressbook. My mistake. Give me five and I'll be back in my jester's outfit...

Despite myself the frown lines are creasing slightly into what might resemble a grimace aka a grin. Still not joining your shitty gang though.

BitOfFun · 05/08/2011 23:23

It's not a shitty gang- it's a wolfgang. An Amadeus Mozart, if you will.

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:24

Not a shitty gang. A Wolef Pack you silly cow, there is a difference. We convene in a pack at the end of an evening but during the day we are Lone Wolefs. Renegade Maverick Wolefs. With ace jackets.

This thread has been about the love of the wolefs for about, like, all day.

"Still not joining your shitty gang though."

Who invited you? Grin

Thabks. Just inhaled a midget gem into my throat before I had finished chewing it. Nearly died.

God sounds like some twilight pish

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:29

Twilight is vampires, not wolves, you daft sausage.

Film for us to watch in the lair.

GreenEyesandHam · 05/08/2011 23:33

Ahem, I am Team Jacob, wolves are very much Twilight, thankee very much

(actually I'm 'Team Why The Fuck Am I Reading This Shite' but that's by the by)

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 23:33

Twilight? not on your nelly.

addressbook · 05/08/2011 23:34

ah but there are wolves in twilight so I can't be that old and frown-lined

The irony of using Amadeus Mozart in regard to pack mentality is stricking

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 23:35

Stricking?

There are vampires in Sesame Street too - what's your point?

addressbook · 05/08/2011 23:35

striking - before you pounce on it and suck the life out of it

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:37

Ah, I don't watch any of that geekboy shite so I wouldn't know. Robert Pattinson looks like he smells of cold tinned meat.

Stop going on about pack mentality, fortheluvvagod. You've said why you think it is, we've said why we think it isn't. Please just let us get on with looking for Wolef Fleeces and listening to Hungry Like The Wolef by Duran Duran. Please.

BitOfFun · 05/08/2011 23:38

Would you go into a pub and accuse a group in there having a laugh and a joke of pack mentality? I'm finding it hard to warm to you, addressbook, but I am trying. Give us your best joke?

Empusa · 05/08/2011 23:39

Geek? You leave the geeks out of the twilight shit!

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 23:39

Hungry like the Wolef makes me chortle.

FFS, why can we not sit in this thread and talk about wolefs? You don't geddit so it's wrong?

Robert Pattinson is a bit Spammy Bjuppers, granted.

BitOfFun · 05/08/2011 23:40

I liked Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory. Probably because he got killed off quickly.
