No idea. I dont like it either hun

AKissIsNotAContract · 31/07/2013 22:46

I haven't noticed it. I agree that we don't want hunning here. I enjoy the good grammar and spelling of MN and don't want to see it dumbed down.

500internalerror · 31/07/2013 22:46

It's not as bad as someone in rl, that you like and respect, uses the 'h word' Grin

InTheRedCorner · 31/07/2013 22:46

Aw Hun, the bubs are all sleeping so we can chat n al that. U ok babe ?x x x

ThisReallyIsNotSPNopeNotAtAll · 31/07/2013 22:47

Tbh I have seen it once on a support thread. There's a poster that keeps leaving xxxx's but just the one

ForgetfulNameChanger · 31/07/2013 22:49

You are making me rage, people! Grin

I just can't bear it. I've noticed it around in different places and different users (unless its one name changing). Its really grating me babez.

Wassup hun?

tittytittyhanghang · 31/07/2013 22:50

Your feelings are valid so YANBU.

However its up to other posters to post how the fuck they want, if you dont like it dont respond to it. If your gonna become all sarcy and unwelcoming with them then YABU imo.

I dont really give a shit. A post is a post is a post.

HTH xxxxxxx

thenightsky · 31/07/2013 22:51

Tell them to shut the cunty fuck up perhaps? Then they'll remember where they are Grin

LST · 31/07/2013 22:53

I sometimes put one 'x' on a support thread... Blush

ImNotBloody14 · 31/07/2013 22:56

I dont get the ones that put 'xx' in the end of every single post even if they're having a go at someone! Odd.

FunnysInLaJardin · 31/07/2013 22:57

dunno I've been on 'oliday. huh

ForgetfulNameChanger · 31/07/2013 23:05

Soz titty hun! I don't tend to respond to it but my eyes can't choose not to read it unfortunately :(

I just don't like negative change

Yes, and it is irritating, but not as annoying as a FB status of just a Sad (for attention) and people starting sentences with, 'I'm not being funny, but.'
I'll pick my battles and let this one slide.....

pigletmania · 31/07/2013 23:07

Oh no Hun, that's no good.

MardyBra · 31/07/2013 23:08

I hadn't noticed it. I've been too busy stirring commenting in AIBU to get hunned.

ZingWidge · 31/07/2013 23:09

Being Hungarian I'm actually a hun.
you can call me hun anytime, I don't mind

and to quote rosepettel: "you mumnets are all sweat"

thebody · 31/07/2013 23:11

haven't noticed except in support threads where its appropriate sometimes. xxxxx

SamHamwidge · 31/07/2013 23:12

If I want to hun I'll hun, if I want to say cunty fuck I'll do that too. Lets make MN an inclusive and tolerant place for all, otherwise we're no better than nethuns those we bitch about, are we?

Hugs((()))

ScooseIsLoose · 31/07/2013 23:14

Oh babez I no wot u mean Hun it's annoying innit?

ForgetfulNameChanger · 31/07/2013 23:18

Totes scoose, babez.

I want to be tolerant and inclusive but this one just makes me struggle :( I just dread it turning into nethuns or b&b. I suppose evolution of forums is natural but please god no.

WilsonFrickett · 31/07/2013 23:20

I have definitely noticed an upturn in xxxx and end of. End of bugs me, because it's a fucking chat forum. You dont get to say end of. Unless you are Thor the Threadkiller and she doesn't even exist!

So no hunni, you say it how it is babez. Stay strong for you and the bubu and the MN x

Icelollycraving · 31/07/2013 23:28

I don't mind xx on support threads. I think that's nice. I put x on the end of most of my texts,but those are on texts to people I would kiss. I'd feel foolish doing it on here,particularly after a random post to a stranger who wants to know how to either do Nigella ham in cherry coke or chatting about coronation street. As you can see I head for the high brow threads.

ZingWidge · 31/07/2013 23:30

OP it's either hun or bitch twat, innit?Grin

thatsalovelyhat · 31/07/2013 23:36

Wilson, I am Thor the Threadkiller and I most certainly do exist. But you might not have noticed because I am wearing a disguise. What is b&b?
