And if there is can someone direct me to it?

The sheer volume of racism, ageism and goady trolls threatening suicide in exchange for shopping directions today is - probably an indication that I am too much here.

All manor of bizarre threads on here tonight, quite a few have already been zapped

The "I feel intimated by my friends" thread was just so weird!

What's going on? Full moon? Has MN been invaded by Allans?

Showy · 28/01/2015 22:27

Evenin' Olivia.

Aliens! Meant to say aliens!

Would quite enjoy it to be invaded by Allens though Grin

Farrow & Ball got zapped???!! What did the OP hope to get out of it then? What occurred?!

ZeroFunDame · 28/01/2015 22:28

I think I was probably unsettled by someone commenting about Facebook sharing of MN posts. I know the site is googleable and try to be aware of that but the FB thing makes me feel I'm being played.

And while it's thrilling to see how many brilliant people there are here it's saddening to contemplate that they must be outnumbered 20 to 1 by the sort of people who throw the phrase chip on your shoulder about.

Benefit threads, council house threads, thread after fucking thread about kids in restaurants and cafes.Racist threads.It'se a 'lets press MN buttons' free for all.

I'm laughing so hard my sides hurt ! I'm aftershock laughing as well. I'll go and make a cup of tea and calm down.

P.S. I can see the Manchester thread is still going on the property/moving threads. Maybe it's a different Manchester thread that got zapped.

PrimalLass · 28/01/2015 22:30

Thanks Coconutty.

ZeroFunDame · 28/01/2015 22:31

Toasted Trust me it was different.

I didn't even see the Manchester thread < bereft >

I've seen 3 or 4 threads I've posted on disappear in the last couple of days though. I feel like some kind of Jonah.

UterusUterusGhali · 28/01/2015 22:35

I commented on one earlier then realised it was probably not kosher.

It is odd. When there's an invasion some clever cookie MNer usually finds the source.

UterusUterusGhali · 28/01/2015 22:38

If a posters house was the F&B one, surely piping up "that's my gaff" would be more outing than just ignoring it.

If you don't want your house on tinterweb, don't let it go on right move.

(Unless op was trying to stealthily promote her house.)

ChippingInLatteLover · 28/01/2015 22:39

It's rife. Getting heartily sick of it. I've even argued with MN over it and I hate doing that. But the skewed moderation is getting annoying again.

I like the good, funny, caring posters so I don't want to leave. I just want the others to fuck right off.

The pigs where dispatched for bacon to save money on school meals, they have rescued some goats now due to poor sanitary conditions in there council house homes.

morethanpotatoprints · 28/01/2015 22:41

I missed the manchester thread, ah.

We are Greater Manchester though, even though visit every week don't know it well.

often go to our local trafford Centre though

ChippingInLatteLover · 28/01/2015 22:42

There's now one about a pink toothbrush refusing DH.

Kind of matches the Tesco one.

QueenBean · 28/01/2015 22:43

chipping my T-dar was pulsing at that, haven't posted for that exact reason

Willferrellisactuallykindahot · 28/01/2015 22:44

The 20 month old I spy participant thread wasn't a troll though was it, its still going?

I completely missed the Manchester thread, I bloody miss all the good stuff on here!

I'm still practising too Olivia. I can do one perfectly now Grin

usualsuspect333 · 28/01/2015 22:52

Just because a threads still going doesn't mean it's not a troll.

Half the threads on here are made up shite.

Willferrellisactuallykindahot · 28/01/2015 22:55

Why do people think the iPad in the restaurant thread is a troll? Am I just not cynical enough?!

It's just the past few days it's been royally doing my swede in. I don't usually care if its a troll unless an upsetting topic but there's some strange shit going on atm.

TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet · 28/01/2015 23:23

Any strange shit please report it, yes?
Showy no doffing necessary

That was on the radio y'know - with David Tennant and 'er off Eastenders. I loved it.
