To want everyone to stop it with the crossings out?

If you have something to say in a post, can you please just say it, rather than doing the intensely annoying whispering-behind-your-hand crossing out thing? I wouldn't mind so much if everyone always used it correctly but people are using it for whole paragraphs of pertinent information. It's not an effective replacement for wit.

AIBU?

I like it runs away and hides behind hands

VladmirsPoutine · 30/08/2016 21:14

Yabu. You are not the thread police. If you are then can we start with banning threads in which people write from the perspective of their pet. And also can we ban any reference to a dog or a cat as DDog or DCat.

ChampagneTastes · 30/08/2016 21:14

Totally knew this would happen

Bastards.

(I want to be in the thread police. Do you get a hat and a badge?)

Queenbean

Not right now, I have tried lots of times and it hasn't worked. MN messaged me to explain that there was an issue with my account and they were trying to fix it. Haven't tried again recently as frankly I can't be arsed to keep trying I'm camping and can't remember the password on my phone.

Does that explanation satisfy you?
