"Oooh that's not FUNNY"

"Oooh your username is RUBBISH"

"Oooh you SWORE"

"Oooooh you used capitals"

"Ooooh you used ... in a thread title"

"Oooh you have not posted in a way that I have deemed acceptable."

Who died and made you owner of the board? AIBU if from now on every time I see a self-appointed board police on patrol to link to and tell them to wind their necks in?

W0rmy with a zero, but it was ages ago and under an old nickname if you're trying to find it Grin

bibbitybobbityhat · 24/01/2012 14:22

W0rmy - did you used to live at the bottom of the garden?

In summary, the rules of MN are "don't be a twat".

The end

bibbitybobbityhat · 24/01/2012 14:22

Am not trying to find your old thread btw!

W0rmy · 24/01/2012 14:22

Yes I did bibbity, hello Smile

BupcakesandCunting · 24/01/2012 14:23

I still want to know why I'm being racist.

Little Hitler comment maybe

bibbitybobbityhat · 24/01/2012 14:24

BupcakesandCunting · 24/01/2012 14:26

Huh?

Hitler/Nazis = political/philosophical movement. Nowt to do with race.

Don't mention the war, someone said Gestapo but I think we got away with it.

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 24/01/2012 14:29

I agree. It's the raptor packs that bother me though.

wahwahwah · 24/01/2012 14:31

I have a problem with people who have a little tantrum and fling really nasty insults, when they wouldn't have the balls to do it in the real world. It all goes a bit Facebook-y around here once in a while.

BupcakesandCunting · 24/01/2012 14:32

Bizarrely, one poster that Has Beef with me... I always mentally envisage her as a velociraptor All spiky and spittly and a bit dense.

W0rmy · 24/01/2012 14:34

I don't think you are being racist, - and i'm wondering whether OldMumsy might have said that tongue in cheek (?) since the thread is about being told what you are and aren't permitted to post.

Peachy · 24/01/2012 14:35

Buppy I have been an arsehole twice on here

I regret neither and said posters have done little to change my mind about them since.

Theonewiththehair · 24/01/2012 14:35

Bupcakes you always seem lovely to me. Can't see why someone would have a problem with you.

W0rmy · 24/01/2012 14:36

Oooh you should have warned me about that link - now i'll have nightmares Grin

DS would love that picture.

BupcakesandCunting · 24/01/2012 14:39

Oh I have been an arsehole a few times but always justified, IMO. Once was when I'd had enough of one PITA following me about making snidey remarks/calling me an attentionwhore despite the fact I was just talking to people about normal stuff in a relevant thread. Lost my shit proper then. Don't regret it.

I think if you're being deliberatly targetted/provoked it's fine to chuck a bit of a benny. I just don't agree with foisting your sensibilities onto every other fucker just because you've been on the board ten weeks longer than someone else/have a superiority complex/are a penis.

Yes I have Quiet - he loved it too. He keeps asking to go again to see that real one at the end Grin

pictish · 24/01/2012 14:42

I agree with you bupcakes

GTF with your self appointed rules MN Thread Police. It's a public forum and people can, and should, write however the fuck they want.

Peachy · 24/01/2012 14:42

Actually I just told someone to fuck off on the roudning up right wingers thread

But she advocated the return of large scale institutions for dependent people to get us carers etc back tow ork so my guilt is agin minimal

My kids go into one of those places over my dead body: not even then should haunting be a possibility.

BupcakesandCunting · 24/01/2012 14:44

Ha ha.

I did say on another "shoot the poor/disabled/less fortunate" thread the other day that some cunt on here will want to see the return of the workhouse/institution soon enough...
