In which, middle class India Knight called la Liz everything under the sun on her nasty twitter diatribe of nonsense.

Schadenfreude, I know.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Justine, but I recall a lot of personal attacks on celebs in the 'what stranger can't you stand?' thread recently. And they weren't deleted. Maybe they weren't reported, though.

No I imagine they weren't. We will usually delete personal attacks if they are brought to our attention - we don't read the 35000-odd posts a day on here though. Am sure there are many personal attacks that pass us by.

They'd never consider my application, bups, but thanks for the heads up,as it wereSmile.

But I still don'tunderstand why you deleted my post where I merely asked Sali why she wouldn't apply the same criticism to her friend, IK. I wasn't inflammatory/attacking anyone.

When I said "she came on and resurrected an old thread" I wasn't necessarily criticising her for that, more that she posted a response to a dead thread therefore she obviously wanted to enter into a discussion with posters on that thread, which she got. Can't see the point in deleting posts just because they disagreed with her. If MNHQ deleted every post that registered a disagreement with another poster, 90% of the talk boards would be blue with deletions.

BupcakesAndCunting · 27/11/2012 09:22

Oops, hit post before I'd finished

Anyway, it's your talk boards Justine so ultimately it's up to you what stands/what goes. Thanks for replying to me though.

Justine

You quoted me in a box and got a bit tetchy with me - but I was trying to help, and explain. You're preaching to the converted.

I haven't slagged anyone off on this thread, or been deleted. I was waffling on about beauty shizzle whilst it was all kicking off around me. Not my style to get in argies with anyone, let alone Sali Hughes who is my fave beauty journo. Note I did a blush-worthy fan-girl-scream, up there

Just want to make that clear.

BupcakesAndCunting · 27/11/2012 12:28

Creep ^

LadyBeagle · 27/11/2012 12:28

I thought that too Pinot, I don't understand why she was so snippy with you.

PoppyAmex · 27/11/2012 12:36

It reads like you're calling them "sell-outs", Pinot

Pinot · 27/11/2012 13:27

Not a creep, Bups you cahbag, just haven't been involved in the brou-ha-ha and don't want to be.

Do you think so, Poppy? :( If it does that was not what I meant (or what I think) I thought my post was common sense-y. Certainly not a criticism. MN is a business, after all.

Ah well.

BupcakesAndCunting · 27/11/2012 13:42

I was only joking you daft bat. Come here and let Mrs C. Worm ruffle your napper.

Pinot · 27/11/2012 13:44

I know :) I'll have a ruffled napper anyways, whatever that my be please don't let it be a c-worm infection Wink

I got tetchy Pinot because you implied we were only interested in this thread for revenue reasons, which is always liable to get me tetchy tbh, as I think it's unfair. I admit I positively bridled at the suggestion and thought about calling you names!

But thank you for not slagging anyone off Smile.

Pinot · 27/11/2012 14:08

I don't think I did imply it was only for financial reasons... I laid out a (what I thought was...) common sense train of thought, that may lead to revenue. It's not good sense to fight en masse with popular journos. That was the point I was making.

Sorry to get your back up.

Sigh.

@BupcakesAndCunting

I thought you were Bupcakes - one post of yours was:

"She's a big girl"

Must. Not. Say. Anything.

We took that to mean you were making a remark about IK's weight?

Second post we deleted was just aggressive - "twatter feed" "acid-tongued gobshitery" "need to get out more".
They are not conventional personal attacks granted but they are pretty rude and unfriendly. Why the need for that? You can make the point you want to make without the aggression, surely?

Pinot · 27/11/2012 14:12

and I called out for some decorum to be had from the fighty ones.

Pinot · 27/11/2012 14:13

Oh marvellous xpost

WelshMaenad · 27/11/2012 14:13

IK is popular???

Obv not on MN....

BupcakesAndCunting · 27/11/2012 14:15

Oh yeah, the big girl, Twatter posts were ripe for deletion, I accept that Blush But I still think that my first post that got deleted was just a normal, if questioning, post. And some others by different posters were, too.

And stop brown-nosing Pinot, you big Brown Owl, you Wink

Pinot · 27/11/2012 14:17

:o

If I'd known I was going to get told off on a public forum, I'd have done something to warrant it.

BupcakesAndCunting · 27/11/2012 14:18

Like what, Pinot?

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 27/11/2012 14:31

Oh god I am laughing at poor justine talking to sainsburys about advertising when cunting sainsburys was at large. I would have loved to have listened to that conversation!

I love sali hughes. She is so pretty and ranty about suncream.

Pinot · 27/11/2012 14:46

Get in line, gerrof. Sali Hughes is my wo-man. She PM'd me

squoosh · 27/11/2012 15:05

Are you in her facebook group Pinot?
