to think that some mumsnetters just like to cause agro

[babyhmummy01]

And actually have nothing better in their lives than to argue black is white just to piss people off?

The silent lurking reporters are scarey.

And for the record, I'm not fussed whether God is a myth or a mythter.

That was a beautiful pun, triggles.

I'm sure they do, LRD - but you mentioned the religion section & I have never seen what you describe on there. Not once.

The ONLY time on MN that I've seen goading is when an AIBU goes spectacularly wrong and people start taking the piss. It's usually quite funny (imo).

alex lol at the steps thing, be er thought of it like that

False info relates to a couple of threads on here over the weekend where the law has been full blown fabricated to suit a point and then when thus has been pointed out by folk in the know (not me) said posters get abusive and more goady etc

Why thank you LRDY I do like to make an effort.

Oh, how odd.

I have.

On the prayer thread a while back ... you probably don't remember, you were on it but apparently don't go on threads about prayer.

It was the one where you were busily telling me how your MA in something or other meant you could teach me all about the subject of my PhD in medieval religious literature, IIRC.

(Btw, OP, here is a demo of how to get properly stirry. Yes, you're right, it's very cathartic, actually.)

The Laaw?

Stale bun?

Stale bun?

!!!

No bun is allowed to go stale in this house, thank-you very much! (Explains why I'm doing SW...)

I'm confused as well, if you don't like a post and think it's just there to wind you up, then don't reply to it. Is quite easy, honestly! In real life, someone can come real close and stand in your way until you reply, but joy of joys, this is the internet and if you don't want to reply just don't!
Poor SarahStratton is a case in point - no-one has yet filled her in about this "false info" and I'm waiting for baited breath!

Oh, I thought no-one was replying to Stratters to wind her up, y'know, all goady-style...

Don't wind her up, she'll bugger off again!

It was the one where you were busily telling me how your MA in something or other meant you could teach me all about the subject of my PhD in medieval religious literature, IIRC

I've never been on a prayer thread. Never.

I have an MA in medieval studies & someone was trying to tell me that no one took the Bible literally until the Reformation, which is clearly rubbish. Was that you?

Ah no - don't answer. Too much of a derail.

But it wasn't a prayer thread - it was about praying, which is rather different.

Actually, the OP responded at about 19:39 finally about the false info, but she was annoyingly vague. Read that as "can't really back up with specific threads."

The font is black, The screen is white
Together we post a load of shite
A poster types cack, a poster types tripe
The whole world piles in with vitriol and spite
And now the Daily Mail can understand
That Mumsnet speaks for all the land, all the land

The words are crap, the words are shite
The spew keeps coming day and night
A poster types cack, a poster types tripe
Together AIBU helps them see the light, to see the light

And now at last its plain to see
We'll read some waffle from Bof and Reality. Reality!

The font is black, the screen is white
The spew keeps frothing day and night
A poster types crap, a poster type tripe
The whole world agrees that Mnetters talk shite.

I could go on.....

please don't

thank fuck they do

with all the hun i agree and/or you are right hun it gets very boring

are you one of those op?

Surely if she responded with specific threads this one could be deleted? Singling out posters, freds about freds 'n' all that?

Sorry, by 'she' I meant babyh

ellie - I think you need to check again. It was definitely a thread about prayer.

If you still don't understand, you can always read the thread again. It might be embarrassing for you, though.

Of, of course, you can be rude and goady, lie about it on threads like this, and perform a successful wind-up. To be fair, I can see it bugs me more than it bugs you.

I'll pause to enjoy honey's song of genius, I think.

The threads relate to dogs I am sure you can find them, can't link on my phone. Delay due to walking my dog sorry

Honey, you're amazing!!

freudeans god no, but equally don't go out of my way to deliberately wind folk up either

I've seen loads of xxx on the end of posts recently.

whoop! (or should that be woof?) a dog thread! these are always entertaining....
