Methinks the OP is a teeny bit Envy

NarkedPuffin · 14/03/2012 23:10

YABU. They're all my pals. We pal around regularly. We're just quite pally.

yabu
they are not "moderators" they are people and tbh I am glad that they are friendly and well "normal"

I've been on MN a while and haven't noticed that anyone's teacher's pet. Where has there been any impartiality? (is that a word?)

IamtheZombie · 14/03/2012 23:11

Zombie thinks the OP should give some examples of this perceived impartiality.

Devora · 14/03/2012 23:12

But what do you MEAN, boglach? Who are these MN favourites of whom you speak?

Er, yeah. I'd tumbled to that one. Being as I'm a real person myself, spookily enough.

Twit · 14/03/2012 23:12

Feeling left out OP?

meh

2shoes · 14/03/2012 23:12

I have now fot a picture of all the mn hq people in white coats

Spero · 14/03/2012 23:13

Seriously. This is not an ethical problem.

Have you tried getting out a bit more? I hear there is trees and blue skies and such like.

NarkedPuffin · 14/03/2012 23:13

In fact, I think I saw Olivia sneaking mince to the Zombie.

SecretNutellaFix · 14/03/2012 23:14

as long as she rinsed it first!

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 14/03/2012 23:15

What on earth are you on about?

Actually post some content if you want a discussion - if not, well, really... just do one.

NowThenWreck · 14/03/2012 23:15

Get a Real Life.

HTH

Vaffanculo · 14/03/2012 23:15

It seems to be open season for whinging at the moment. Where is the FUN?

NarkedPuffin · 14/03/2012 23:16

I don't know about that, but she did seem rather in awe of StrandedBear's floral cunt.

lisad123 · 14/03/2012 23:16

What process?? Hmm it's a chat forum.
Hardly a problem with transference, it's not risking a life or over stepping mark.
Me thinks the op is Envy an needs to bring some apples for teacher or wine for mods Grin

ShowOfHands · 14/03/2012 23:17

Helen's my favourite. OriginalHelen that is. And Gerry who's beautiful but Never Here.

iceandsliceplease · 14/03/2012 23:17

MNHQ isn't pally with certain posters, they've all texted me to say that they're not, and that they can't wait for Friday when they're coming round for supper.

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 14/03/2012 23:17

Narked - that's understandable though isn't it - it was very pretty Grin

boglach · 14/03/2012 23:17

So if I wanted to express concern about a poster but didn't because HQ seemed to be friendly with them, well I am not sure that is a sound set up

Sometimes refusing to take sides only allows the bad to thrive.

I learnt this (probably on MN) recently.
I have no idea how relevant this advice is as I left MN a couple of hours ago and returned to find weirdness, but I proffer it anyway just so I don't feel left out.

2shoes · 14/03/2012 23:18

are you supposed to rinse mince???
why
