I'm on a one day MN strike today protesting about the Facebook Like button.

[MardyStropAboutLikeButton]

There'll be no new threads or comments from me as I'm not happy to be treated as a viral commodity. (apart from the odd update from the picket line of Like button protest threads).

Mumsnet without awkward pissed off unreasonable women....what would that look like d'ya think?

Facebook?

Not my facebook, its chock-full of them!

I've been on MN quite late on a Friday and feeling quite maudlin, and I could click on anything to be honest.

How do you know I've got a touchscreen?

The bloody cat and its swishing tail connects me with more sites than I care to reveal.

tempted to Like this thread for a laugh, but don't want anyone on FB to know that I MN incase they try to work out who I am so I won't........

If I fall forwards drunk with my head against the screen, I can automatically book in to Beamish 'Cookson Country' Museum.

I broke my foot there once.

still not posting apart from complaining about the like button. had a good idea of something to post earlier. It might have even been entertaining. But I won't bother.

Bloody hell. 2 people like this thread. Saddos.

That made me really laugh.

I hate the like button as much as any of you, but honestly think that a strike is pointless. Nobody will notice (I don't mean that in a spiteful way, honestly, just that if you flounce people will go 'aww' for 3 minutes, and then just carry on. MN is bigger than any one (or group of) poster(s).

Ive made my placard, where should I stand (Im short so somewhere near the front please!)

I would never link to a thread on my on FB. Why would I want people seeing my posts? I don't mind it being there but I do think MNHQ are a bit sad for making the fb like button

I won't do it.

But I don't believe any harm will come to me from its existence.

GetOrf "a strike is pointless"

I love the way I am being taken seriously!

Do wooly hats come in sizes?

Mice have small heads, so must be really small.

lol at 'MNHQ are a bit sad'

I really don't get what everyone is getting so excited about, it's just a button!

You're already posting on the Internet for all and sundry to read, what possible difference does it make if the people reading found your posts via a FB link?

she has a normal sized head, just with a teeny tiny mouse's face centered on it

Goo - you are on form this evening!

Mardy - it's tiny
