To want everyone to stop it with the crossings out?

[ChampagneTastes]

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?

Frankly I don't know how to do the crossing out thing, so don't bother!

Yes it does, thank you Enjoy camping!

I think it's quite funny when used well.

I also like DDog and Dcat

Should have put light fucking hearted in the title

Sure, I will in me arse do as you ask

Yes you should have no one would believe you

The only thing wrong with crossing out is that I can't do it anywhere else.

How do you do it elsewhere, in emails, for example?
think it would come in handy

Message read and understood OP not going to take any notice though

I wish I could do in on Facebook, does anyone know how?

OK I'll stop I'm also a liar

Agreed, I can't bloody stand them.

You can do it in Word... but obviously you shouldn't as that would be intensely annoying

Thought i read upthread that you can do it elsewhere....no?

When used correctly it can add some hilarious undertones to a post, maybe write a letter of complaint to mumsnet HQ or go to netmums Hun

I prefer PFC (precious first cat)

YANBU OP

Oh, I don't agree OP. And I'm so not glad you raised this nonissue. Because it just hasn't has been done to death.

yes, I am totally taking the piss

I've never used it before but my contrary nature compels me to do so now.
Not an effective substitute for wit indeed.

Oh, I love a good strikethough, me.

I wish there was a real-life equivalent other than mumbling under your breath.

But I like reading comic asides

you're a massive CUNT

I feckin love don't mind a metric fuckton smidgen of crossings out.
But not as much as I love a creepy wee bracket Ms Thread Police

PepsiPenguin can I get a judgement call on DNITC - darling non identical twin cats?

You can c&p it into FB posts, but it looks a bit wobbly, because the lines are at different levels, not nice and straight like MN's one.
