MN IS NOW OFFICIALLY A JOKE FREE ZONE BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS REALLY SERIOUS AND GUARANTEED TO OFFEND SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IN A CUPBOARD IN 1970

[Hullygully]

No jokes please.

1. No jokes about my dh walks a bit funny.

Because real people walk a bit funny and it is SERIOUS. I HAVE REPORTED YOU.

1. No jokes about furriners go ome or goats because real people face this everyday and it is SERIOUS I HAVE REPORTED YOU

I HAVE REPORTED EVERYONE EVERYWHERE FOR EVERYTHING JUST IN CASE

FFS

*thing even. I'm not trying to sound cool I promise.

i don't think it was a sense of humour failure.

it was a failure to spot that the thread was blindingly obviously not serious in its intent.

i didn't find it funny.

but the way it was going, the posters on it evidently 'got' the purpose and were carrying it that way. I don't think it was an attempt to start a bunfight - you'd have to be totally lala to have agreed with the op in a literal way.

I have never posted on MN with intention to cause another upset. Ever! I wasn't being clever just taking the pee out of the two morons at the hairdressers. I feel very sad that people here find it very easy to state I am a stirrer. You must have someone else in mind. It's untrue.

I am going for a while because I am ckeatmrly misunderstood.

MNHQ gave a record of my posts anyway and if they care to look will see I am a caring, friendly poster.

Ting was good.

I noticed LeQueen! (Can't bring myself to call you LaQueen and P diddy will always be Puff)

Must try harder LaQueen

Don't worry, i always thought you were an arrogant snob.

I do think you are easily misunderstood, Sole.

Post wasnz.t really meant to be funny. It deoresses and angets me to gear that crap but I didn't get chance to explain myself. I should have worded it better and shall not make tbe same mistake again of posting before thinking how it.may affect others.

Ooh yes funnies.
That advert is taking over the screen like a giant triffid.
MN, please make it go away.

Ed you have been vile to me at every opporrtunity and it is baffling.

No I haven't.

Ok LaQueen I was trying to be fair, you do indeed sound mostly like a sanctimonious up your own posterior, judgemental twat.

Better?

it's now advanced to 'I'm on' and it moves when I scroll. Tis the very reason I don't go on the Independent site. MNHQ please cease and disist no matter the revenue. It's not worth it

Don't worry Sole, it will be forgotten about tomorrow.

And fwiw, that thread made you sound like a troll or a stirrer. That doesn't mean to say you are one. I've seen threads from trolls that are just like that, with titles in capitals to attract attention and then the most ludicrous op to get everyone going.

You can understand why some people reported you for being a troll.

You live and learn. My problem is not with you. I just don't understand why those who didn't realise you were not a troll and who failed to find the topic funny are now being lumped with the joyless humour-haters. As if there is no middle ground whatsoever. You're either with us or against us.

I'd rather be out on those terms.

And fwiw LeQueen, your comment to Ed about not having a sense of humour? That was low mate I'm sorry to say. I've been bullied too, as a child, as a young adult, by my peers and by my family. I've had my small breasts scrutinised, my weight commented upon, the way I eat. I've been told that I am the thorn of the family, had to put up with jibes every single day that eroded my self worth. If I said anything they laughed even more and told me I had no sense of humour and to get over myself. I self harmed because of it.

So comments like yours to Ed when she was explaining why she doesn't find sarcastic put downs funny was not ok actually. It was not funny. I honestly didn't think it was you.

But then I'm just missing a piece of DNA eh?

fuck this for a barrel of laughs anyway. Why on earth people have to justify why they are genuinely offended or upset is beyond me. It seems first the country was going too PC and now it's swinging the other way, so racism can be labelled as irony. Come back Jim Davidson, you were being ironic after all! Silly me to have missed it!

PROJECTION.

There was a thread a few weeks ago about 'bullying on mn', where there was a bit of argument about threads that started out seriously being derailed by 'larkers'. One argument then was that 'threads move on' and posters who couldn't keep up when a thread that started as serious and then developed into chit-chat and joking were socially inept. Here, some of the same people are arguing the exact reverse and saying how it is annoying when a lighthearted thread gets derailed by the 'PO

What is the difference? And why is it ok for larkers to talk down the PO but not the reverse?

Excellent point, ive thought the same myself re larky derailers.

Ok LaQueen I was trying to be fair, you do indeed sound mostly like a sanctimonious up your own posterior, judgemental twat

On point.
