Mumsnet?

I really thing it could make a positive difference to the stand up hardworking at waffling Mumsnetters that give their time and support to this site in our current political climate? Grin

Anyone who cries personal attack at being told to RTFT when they haven't read the thread - stand in the corner (minute for every year of age) and think about what they have done.

Anyone who uses * instead of letters for swear words - made to write out "I will not be such a wankbadger in future" 100 times.

Anyone receiving one of my punishments gets -100 points.

Matthew Wright researchers can legitimately claim asylum though, yes?

Minus 10,000 points if your IP address matches those of any political party head office.

Icimoi · 27/04/2015 12:42

Why, in Australia if you use the word 'hun' you are immediately sent off-site to a third-party domain host and held there indefinitely

Australia sounds like the place for me! Where do I join Australian Mumsnet?

Icimoi · 27/04/2015 12:44

Minus 1000 points for people who whinge that their right to free speech is being infringed just because someone disagrees with them.

Also minus 1000 points for "It's my opinion and I'm entitled to express it".

BishopBrennansArse · 27/04/2015 12:48

Appropriate use of sarcasm / irony
