to be pissed off at Mumsnet?

They deleted what I considered a valid thread because a few people failed to understand the point of it and chose to overreact and get offended instead. Perhaps I should try and remove any thread I disagree with? How do I go about doing that?

Bullies and accusations of posters not comprehending your posts. Hmm, you seem very familiar.

reelingintheyears · 06/09/2011 23:19

I have timed the MN deletion process before now

And it takes fucking ages.

At least 20 minutes and at most 30ish

And OP...you are still a fool.

garlicnutter · 06/09/2011 23:19

Didn't see the deleted thread, but am surmising OP's point was that the word is derived from the Greek paed (child) and philia (love). And that, therefore, it could have an innocent meaning. But hasn't.

Well. That's rocket science.

What I want to know is, why do people seek this kind of attention? I had a student kept doing it once - he wasn't terribly bright or popular - and it was probably for the best that he didn't much seem to like women because they fucking loathed him.

His contextual translation of ancient languages was poor, too. And don't even get me going on his Latin rhetoric.

I'm the fly on the wall, please don't swat me.

I didn't post on the original thread because the word in the title really put me off, and I felt to post on it would mean that the OP might get her rocks off.

MissVerinder · 06/09/2011 23:20

Yep. It's handy for spells and shit.

AnyFucker · 06/09/2011 23:21

There should be a support group for you all

MrsPerkyTits - You have issues.

I didn't mean to be random, I got distracted by a real man and my last post was supposed to follow on from this one:

Where are you from, OP?

It is clear that the MN collective have out-acedemia-ed grin you and destroyed your silly excuse for a discussion topic.

So why bother coming back?

Genuinely curious.

Then I changed my mind and didn't give a shit about what the OP thought. Then I had more wine. Enough said Grin

Northernlurkerr · 06/09/2011 23:22

Linerunner - I think it's because they are in fact twats. Regrettably my Latin isn't up to translating and expressing that.

mothiman · 06/09/2011 23:23

op - i hope this never happens to you but if it did you would understand how offensive that thread, although light hearted in meaning, was.

I remember working in HR when I was young and people taking time off for bereavement. I could never understand it. Until my own df died slowly and painfully losing half his body weight and all the skin off his back to cancer.

It's very easy to make light of situations you have no experience of. When you do experience it you begin to understand.

What to you is lighthearted was offensive in the extreme to others. If you have dc can you even begin to imagine the effect something like this has not just on your dc, but on your whole family. It's absolutely devastating. I don't expect you to understand. Nobody can until it happens to them.

AF "Oh, you MN hater you

Anyway, I'm going to bed, as I have a family to work hard for and support. Believe it or not, far from being a sicko, I'm a good parent. This thread will no doubt be gone in the morning, to be replaced with threads boasting of how other parents make mistakes you'll never make and why you hate men.

ayra should start a thread, random madness you gotta love it!

Hissy, you are on fire tonight Grin

solidgoldbrass · 06/09/2011 23:24

I find you potentially useful, OP. If you and your socks online fellow circle jerkers ilk want to spread STDs all over MN then maybe we will end up with a more robust STD-busting policy. Because right now it's only one topic area that's really suffering with this sort of behaviour (starting a thread with a faux-innocent contentious title, then whining and crying when told to fuck off, then coming back again and again to say how ORFUL it is when people don't want to talk to you because you're full of shit) and the consensus seems to be, well as long as it's only those outspoken sweary unnatural wierdos who are getting their discussions derailed all the time, it doesn't matter, and it wouldn't happen if they'd only behave a bit more like normal women anyway.

scuzy · 06/09/2011 23:24

i reckon OP is a member of many support groups already.

"how to get the nerve to move out of parents home at 40" group

"how to be socially accepted" group

and "how do i control these sexual urges towards lamp posts" group!

garlicnutter · 06/09/2011 23:25

why you hate men.

Tsk, such a giveaway.

LoremIpsum · 06/09/2011 23:25

And bingo.

Hello, sweetie.
