To think MN is going to the dogs?

There is so much trolling, bitching and nastiness on here at the moment!

Am I wearing rose tinted glasses, because I don't remember MN being this bad, ever.

AIBU to think things seem to have gone downhill?

Do you remember the thread where the OP said she put dog poo in the offending owners hood? Shock

Lewji - i read it - that's why i've reverted to my dinosaur name.

PutridArseWeasel · 26/02/2015 22:06

Oh. I think I read that thread!

My DH is terrified of dog poo. But he's got issues.

(PS I'm not sock puppeting. I'm BankWadger)

nickelbarapasaurus · 26/02/2015 22:09

I can do Poi!!! GrinShockGrin

I have performed (in a troupe obv) a fab poi dance.

Enormouse · 26/02/2015 22:09

It was my ex linerunner. .

nickelbarapasaurus · 26/02/2015 22:10

i'm not a cat though

hi Bank - new name suits you Wink

emotionsecho · 26/02/2015 22:10

There seems to be an increase in chip pissing as well, the finding people falling over thread is one example. So much seriousness, earnestness and a determination to deflate any humour.

WineCowboy · 26/02/2015 22:11

I remember that dog poo in the hood one!

Koalafications · 26/02/2015 22:12

Yes, I was thinking of that thread too emotion

It was a while ago Bank, but I was opened mouthed!

Ooooh nickel I'm uber impressed! I can do a small amount, but haven't done it since i smashed a lightbulb into a friends eye about a year ago Blush Her eye is fine, and in future I will poi outdoors.

Oh Enormouse was it you they said it to? Bastard!

Is it me, or do we have exactly this discussion at least once a fortnight?!

LineRunner · 26/02/2015 22:14

Enormouse you are legend now.

thatsucks · 26/02/2015 22:16

People have been saying MN's going to the dogs since 2008 (when I joined but hopefully not because I joined).

Cats are ace though

ahbollocks · 26/02/2015 22:17

Best ever thread was elderly Korean lady. It was beautiful.

Lweji · 26/02/2015 22:18

Perhaps change AIBU to a survey.

But the OP would still come back later with a reason to show she is not being unreasonable. Even if it was not in the OP and it is even unrelated to that.

nickelbarapasaurus · 26/02/2015 22:18

it's easier than a veil outside because of the weight of it.

Enormouse · 26/02/2015 22:19

Yes. It was me. Apparently, I look like Alan Rickman. Or as my ex defended himself 'you have really similar eyes'.

The small, villainous eyes of Snape.

WineCowboy · 26/02/2015 22:19

Ooh I just googled poi, every day is a school day!

PutridArseWeasel · 26/02/2015 22:19

It definitely does suit me today. It's to do with my illness Blush

but no cat.

A beautiful Alan Rickman Enormouse Grin

I'm sure it has been said before and will, no doubt be said again, but its just how I feel at the moment.

I have enjoyed this thread though. Has given me a giggle.

Cats are bastards.

Yup every fortnight since I've been here. The week we have more dogs, weasels, poi and cats than usual though.
