Erm I posted something

PortiaCastis · 05/08/2016 22:19

Grin it was for Gran

this thread is getting way too valedictory!

Yes, you're right.

I have a habit of starting strong and fizzling about. My house is full of unfinished projects looking at me Blush I mustn't get too excited just yet.

As a joke I typed in the "You there, fuck off over there. And when you get there, fuck off again...." thingy, and someone obviously reported me because i couldn't log in for 3 months! So I'm VERY careful now (hangs head in shame)

fizzling OUT*

toadgirl · 05/08/2016 22:22

Hehe, oh dear! Maybe it was the fuck off x 2 that was a step too far Smile

I need to stuff and freeze Kongs for my little darling.

90 days isn't very long really - I'm sure there are "ordinary" trolls (on the other boards) who lie in wait that long, making a few posts to establish a "past" before getting going with their false threads. I thought it would be at least a year (or even six months) to deter the sex trolls.

toadgirl · 05/08/2016 22:24

Oh yes, quite.

I think it's weird that I think I could start an AIBU about sex though, couldn't I?

This is all theoretical, you understand Smile

Bettercallsaul1 · 05/08/2016 22:27

That is hilarious, Vanilla! That does not sound like you at all. Did you mean it humorously and it was taken the wrong way, or was the poster truly obnoxious?

Bettercallsaul1 · 05/08/2016 22:29

Oh, just noticed - you said "as a joke"! They obviously just picked it up wrongly.

VanillaSugar · 05/08/2016 22:30

I meant it humorously and someone obviously didn't have a sense of humour and took it literally. I can be very sweary when i try though. Especially in the car when someone is undertaking me. Wanka.

Three months is a long time not to be able to post on MN!! I would find that very hard as I am addicted.

VanillaSugar · 05/08/2016 22:36

Well then, you'd Better behave. Ha See what I did there?

Groans.

Oh, I make that joke often, Vanilla! It is usually greeted with patient tolerance. Grin I choose my threads carefully

Bettercallsaul1 · 05/08/2016 22:45

But I find that a n/n which is shortened to Better is very good for my self-esteem. Grin Much prefer it to "Saul",which I sometimes get.

VanillaSugar · 05/08/2016 22:49

Well, I'm flattered that you chose this one!! What is it about a thread that lures you in?

Bettercallsaul1 · 05/08/2016 22:52

I like the light-hearted, whimsical ones. This one has been great.

PortiaCastis · 05/08/2016 22:54

Hmmm he has just said I'm bonkers. Cheeky bugger

Bettercallsaul1 · 05/08/2016 22:56

There have obviously been some serious conversations too but, on the whole, this one has been very cheerful and interesting. And a good chance to be able to get to know a few other MNers well.

Bettercallsaul1 · 05/08/2016 22:58

Who can Portia possibly mean?

PortiaCastis · 05/08/2016 23:07

I was doing the macarena in the pub with no shoes on and Aid says Im bonkers. Also I was singing badly

VanillaSugar · 05/08/2016 23:08

It's been very informative, hasn't it!! And bonding 😆
