Please?

I've just read at least 4 different threads from people having a really hard time with serious illness and berevements.

Could we suspend viperocity for an evening please.

Peace and light.

As ellen says at the end of every show "be kind to one another". Etc etc. she also has clumsy thumbsy and cat week so its not gospel, per se.

EdithWeston · 29/10/2012 20:19

On one of the threads, there is an invocation to viper-power.

MN needs to be everything it usually is. Especially when things seem tough.

ClippedPhoenix · 29/10/2012 20:20

Zombie, this can become very very insular honey and very awful if your expressions aren't taken the right way, at the end of the day words are harsh when they probably aren't meant to be sweetheart.

I thought that was Jerry Springer?

I have had a crap week but not as bad as poor cupoftea and my friends in NY right now, I'm happy for a nice MN tonight x

GColdtimer · 29/10/2012 20:22

Everyone is being lovely to me this evening. Which is very much needed so heartfelt thanks. A bit of peace and love through the boards would be fitting. There seems to be a lot of sadness about tonight.

ClippedPhoenix · 29/10/2012 20:24

Shut up worra Grin I'm being supportive, the op has been stung somewhere and we all have somewhere along the mumsnet line. i don't mind being confused coz i am {fucking PMT}

ClippedPhoenix · 29/10/2012 20:25

blimey maybe this is a "kind" thread that I don't understand as Im a hard bitch Grin

Mintyy · 29/10/2012 20:27

Lovely thought StillIRise. If just for one night people could be respectful to each other, in a sort of tribute to the many posters who are really suffering, whether they are in chat, aibu or wherever.

Most posters post in different topics according to what they see come up in Active Conversations. It is surely only a minority who hang out solely in one Topic?

makinglemonade · 29/10/2012 20:28

OP I get your point and its s lovely sentiment. The threads you mentioned are over in Chat and lots of the hard nuts on this side of the forum don't venture to the light side so are a little confused!

Maybe best just to stay out of AIBU when in a sentimental mood x

ClippedPhoenix · 29/10/2012 20:33

I consider myself as a lovely person, I am however quite hard on people that don't actually want to help themselves. In my book you can't "wallow" in self pity, its non productive and all this peace and love stuff actually makes me want to shake you.

OliviaMumsnet · 29/10/2012 20:35

PEACE AND LOVE

[hgrin]

ClippedPhoenix · 29/10/2012 20:35

I also personally find that wonder buckets as in peace and love people are very insular and selfish, my bag is if you care about others then you don't have time to cry and worry too much about yourself.

ClippedPhoenix · 29/10/2012 20:36

Happy birthday Olivia, My 50th is on SATURDAY! hopefully I wont come round till 2 weeks later!

marquesas · 29/10/2012 20:38

I agree with you OP, there are some heartbreaking threads today.

Are there many posters who only read AIBU?

WorraLiberty · 29/10/2012 22:10

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 29/10/2012 22:18
