And why has the thread about it disappeared. Been on mn for 6 months and keep seeing references to it. My curiosity has got the better of me...

It's a contentious issue. That's all you need to know.

Principally because that's all I know, but hey ho.

Glittertwins · 22/12/2011 19:45

No idea here either!

diabolo · 22/12/2011 19:45

Not me Smile

I think its people who are well known on MN. Im not very good with names so no idea on who they are.

I saw a bit of that thread, but had to go. I got the impression that people seem to think that different posters are MN royalty. Ive not been a regular poster on here long so still learning the ways of MN.

It got removed as it was a thread about a thread I believe. I think thats a rule on posting so this might get deleted soon.

We are keeping MNHQ busy tonight Xmas Grin

I am staying here to talk about crafting slebs until I am accused of bullying. Then my work will be done and I shall be on my way.

MissMerrynder · 22/12/2011 19:47

Deleted? I don't think it's really a thread about a thread. Only in the way that physics is about stars.

Ok, fair enough, can anyone explain the rule to me?

I missed it. Fucking children and fucking bedtimes.

Usually means that you are a prolific poster so therefore you can bully/needle others and have your cronies back you up.

CotherMuckingFunt · 22/12/2011 19:49

I'm royalty. People refer to me as Lizzie

MissMerrynder · 22/12/2011 19:49

You can't start a thread about a thread, or one that alludes to a thread unless you are crafty and manage to hid the thread subject (of the original thread) within the guise of a thread that is totally unrelated from the original thread.

Ok, beginning to understand. I'm bad with names so don't really remember most people...

Me.

I'm MN royalty. That's all you need to know. Move along, move along, nothing to see here.

Pagwatch · 22/12/2011 19:49

It is mostly a put down.

Someone is having a fight with a regular or prolific poster and instead of saying 'fuck off' they say 'well no point in arguing with mn royalty and her cronies'

It's bollocks. Like clique allegations.
There is no royalty. No one thinks they are royalty. It is just sneeriness.

HecateGoddessOfTwelfthNight · 22/12/2011 19:50

MN Royalty is an insult. It's what someone says to someone else when they have no other way to shut them up. They accuse them of being 'royalty'.

Everyone's only agreeing with you cos you're royalty
Well, of course you agree, she's royalty
Your argument is stupid but nobody else can see it cos you're royalty

It's basically about invalidating everything someone says on the basis that all those who agree with them/like them/talk to them are two faced arse lickers.

All things considered - it's not a compliment.

Pagwatch · 22/12/2011 19:50

Except for Dame Shirley. Of course.

Pinot · 22/12/2011 19:50

oh god

BloodyWedding · 22/12/2011 19:50

So people who's names you would recognise - erm Hully, AF, Reality, Shiney, Bunting, Shirley, Pagwatch that type of poster who is fairly prolific or well known.

Usually its a term used to be snide though.
