Did OP withdraw it or was it deleted?

Has it gone? I'm hoping it was because it was a joke.

Blatherskite · 23/08/2011 16:35

Deleted. It was a troll.

LineRunner · 23/08/2011 16:36

I hope no-one was injured in the making of that thread.

LadyBeagleEyes · 23/08/2011 16:41

Strange, usually trolls have one off names but if you search, the op has a posting history, and not trollish at all. And it's still there.

Drat... I've just come back from shopping and remembered that I forgot to put cotton buds on the list. Blush

Well, if it was a troll, at least it was silly trolling rather than malicious trolling. I don't really see why it had to be deleted. Yes, it was gross in the extreme, but the sex with saucepans thing ended up in Classics didn't it?

GypsyMoth · 23/08/2011 16:51

How do you know it was a troll then??

Did mnhq come into the thread?

Blatherskite · 23/08/2011 16:54

I reported the troll hunting and MNHQ mailed me to say it was a troll and they were deleting it.

I thought the MNers had taken it and made it their own and it was quite funny but there has been quite a bit of trolling recently so maybe they're coming down harder?

Nagoo · 23/08/2011 16:55

aaaah that was fun trolling. I like fun trolling.

This place is getting so you can only ever tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

BimboNo5 · 23/08/2011 17:03

Of course it was a troll, thats why I cba to grace it with a reply

GypsyMoth · 23/08/2011 17:03

Who was the op??

Crosshair · 23/08/2011 17:07

Im just glad it wasnt real, I started having dreams about toilet worms.
Confused

LadyBeagleEyes · 23/08/2011 17:08

MrsGPotter, Sara, last time I looked she still has threads there in advanced search, which is why I didn't think she was a troll.
Although there is a thread about itchy anuses Hmm....

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 23/08/2011 17:40
