... 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.

but I am just having some gool old banter cupcakes, about packs and all that

GreenEyesandHam · 05/08/2011 23:41

I've never watched any of the Twilight films. The books were punishment enough, I thought.

addressbook · 05/08/2011 23:42

god 'gool' was meant to be good but it fits with the vampire theme

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 23:42

Cedric who now?

Ah, feckit. See that chalk outline on the floor? That was my buzz, man. Horatio is investigating how it died.

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 23:47

Bjof, is it you naming your baby Lilo? Or Lido? Or Lidl?

GreenEyesandHam · 05/08/2011 23:48

I have a question- why is it wolef and not wolf please?

BitOfFun · 05/08/2011 23:48

Nah. It was on the lone wolf theme.

addressbook · 05/08/2011 23:48

well finally BoF you cracked a smile. But I was more of a Jet fan myself

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:49

The Wolef Man is the official Renegade Wolefs pin-up.

I might, might, knock you all up a Wolef Man t-shirt if you're very good.

BitOfFun · 05/08/2011 23:50

Someone upthread was mistyping, I think, and it got seized on. I only started reading when ShirleyKnot was getting sausage fingers though.

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:50

Fuck me, addressbook smiled!

BitOfFun · 05/08/2011 23:51

Does anybody remember Eunice, the scouse contestant? She was a proper local celebrity. I loved her.

addressbook · 05/08/2011 23:52

So is that how the pack prowls then? seizing on mistyping?

Well original I will give it that

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:52

Wolef...

TobyLerone started a thread (that got pulled) about http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290514364558 wolf fleeces. Someone mistyped wolf as wolef and it's gone from there...

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 23:52

And I was so sure that was a piss take Grin.

Greeneyes - it was an thread, cannot link as it pfft, to do with the wearing of the wolf. On fleeces and such.

GreenEyesandHam · 05/08/2011 23:52

Ah thanks BoF

I was wondering if it was an accent thing- wolef/ wolf. Fillum/ film
Obviously not Blush hehe

addressbook · 05/08/2011 23:53

Grin cupcakes that broke my fucking face

GreenEyesandHam · 05/08/2011 23:53

And thanks everyone else Grin

HighWolefsteem · 05/08/2011 23:54

From wolef fleece stalking. A little known passtime of MNers.

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:54

Oh un-purse your lips, addressbook. Sometimes, just sometimes, the mistyper finds it just as funny. Like in this case. Stop looking for bullying where there is none. You're like Keith Laird, Fire Inspector, but for bullying, not fire.

Now stop making the thread smell of wee and go and play on the motorway or summat.

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:55

Well, I'm happy that something broke your face you miserable witch I can unclench my fists now.

MadameLupino · 05/08/2011 23:55

Sez the High Priestess of stalking Grin

Addressbook, I think you want to be in the WolefPack. Hanging around, pulling pigtails and twanging bra straps. You want a jacket, dontcha?

CupcakesandTwunting · 05/08/2011 23:58

I've got a jacket already made up for addressbook. Wink
