WHY? Surely its the nature of the whole site that people care about trivia?
If no one did we wouldnt have anything to talk about!

Where's the info on a throat biter ffs?! You can't drop that one in a thread and then leave.

Coldlightofday · 02/01/2016 21:56

You set on me Rose.

Does that mean you are now on my side? 😍

BathshebaDarkstone · 02/01/2016 21:59

The leaden yuletide logs are causing me a lot of problems! I asked DD if she was getting ready to do one tonight, she said she didn't think so, I was so relieved! Xmas Grin

I go with the one that gets pelted by others. I don't really care what the subject is to a point of ridiculous. Hate bullies.

Hey, Rose there's nowt wrong with sticking up for people. I do it when necessary.

But on MN there is a lot of robust debate and there are times when the majority of posters disagree with one or two on a thread.

That's not bullying, it's just the way it is on such a big forum.

The good thing is that most people can hold their own here.

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 22:28

Ummm lets just agree to disagree here?

Ive been here long enough to not really care but when i see a person getting lambasted for lets face it, an opinion, I go with her. Bullying does go on, whether you know the person in real life or on line.

It fucks me right off Grin

BadgersNadgers · 02/01/2016 22:28

Has any of this got anything to do with Sharon?

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 22:33

robust debate? What the fuck is that?

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 22:34

Robust debate with who?

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 22:37

Like a thread where lots of strong opinions are flying around.

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 22:38

I'm not having a go by the way.

GastonsPomPomWrath · 02/01/2016 22:39

Who's Sharon?

babyheave · 02/01/2016 22:40

My interest is piqued by this throat biter stuff. Where can I have a gander? Grin

I love the trivial stuff. There's nothing as grand as a bunfight what kicks off over something trivial.

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 22:42

Sharon isn't my real name but Im glad to own it on here Grin

M48294Y · 02/01/2016 22:42

Anyone care to link the thread that has spawned this taat?

ArkATerre · 02/01/2016 22:44

Some impenetrable thread about an OW and some wine being thrown at a wall. She was called Sharon. Some people draw their personal line about the Dumbing Down Of MN at Penis Beaker, but that's mine.

BrendaandEddie · 02/01/2016 22:44

saucyjack I dont know what thread you mean but whatever

GastonsPomPomWrath · 02/01/2016 22:56

Ohhh

Whenever I read the name Sharon, I hear it being said by Phil Mitchell. Just me then? OK.

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 22:58

This is the Sharon thread

ArkATerre · 02/01/2016 22:59

Eh up, OP's on a delay. As per Xmas Wink

GastonsPomPomWrath · 02/01/2016 23:12

Ah 2011, way before my time here.

But that thread..

I think I love Sharon.

BrendaandEddie · 02/01/2016 23:13
