To fuck OFF.

Many examples recently of people appointing themselves thread curator and being rude, annoying and pointy finger ish to other posters who disagree with them.

It annoys me more than it should.

Nina is Thread Police Extraordinaire

Oooo Lala. Fancy.

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 24/06/2017 19:45

Highalert wild is an understatement..the OTBT thread was insane.

Navy it's in site stuff - see the second link I posted. Well worth a read imo!

Highalert · 24/06/2017 19:46

Nina is the chief inspector of the thread police.

Lweji · 24/06/2017 19:47

Oi. Internal Affairs can't be investigated. You need a Special Counsel for that.

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 19:48

Ooooooo Nina just got owned

SmileEachDay · 24/06/2017 19:49

Has anyone declared that someone may have a mental health problem when it's obvious that the person under discussion is just an arsehole?

Another poster on the thread suggested it was because they might have to send an ambulance for me and their would be a bunfight over whether I really needed to be in an ambulance.

In the end, I decided to wait until morning and take the bus to the hospital, but 111 said no, they wanted me in asap and to be sure I would get there safely, so they arranged transport for me.

Must have been a disappointment for the popcorners....

*there

Highalert · 24/06/2017 19:55

You only call an ambulance on MN if your leg is hanging off and even then if you can stick your leg in a wheelbarrow you could walk there.

Highalert · 24/06/2017 19:56

Someone is mowing their lawn. quick call the NDN police.

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 19:59

Ahhhh that makes sense myshinynewusername

Sounds like a derailment. Ambulances are fodder for bun fightery.

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 24/06/2017 20:01

A pp stated they had no time for parking threads. I'm the same with anything involving in-laws or weddings. Although come to think of it, most wedding threads are to do with in-laws in some shape or form.

DoloresTheRunawayTrain · 24/06/2017 20:01

Highalert don't forget the added vitriol of wasting precious NHS resources and them being the sole reason the NHS is on it's knees. Funny how they all evaporate and don't offer one word of an apology when the OP comes back and says it was something deserving of immediate attention.

SmileEachDay · 24/06/2017 20:02

Oh Christ, Madam I hate wedding threads.

Just fuck OFF. No one cares. Except the B&G. And sometimes not even then.

I hate Wedding threads, parking threads and MiL threads, So most of MN really.

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 24/06/2017 20:08

Smile there was a cracking wedding thread that got pulled a few weeks back. It had everything you could want - bastarding in-laws, family rivalry, personality disorders being diagnosed left, right and centre, a cheating best man who knocked up someone else, and some of the worst personal attacks I've ever seen on MN.
I was a bit Shock reading it and I'm not usually a Shock person.

Sparklingbrook · 24/06/2017 20:09

We had a troll in The Litter Tray the other day. Angry Nowhere is safe.

Highalert · 24/06/2017 20:10

A troll in the litter tray Shock

Lweji · 24/06/2017 20:10

YesMadamDeputySpeaker

But, did you tell people to behave on that thread? Are you failing your duties?

Lweji · 24/06/2017 20:11

A troll in the litter tray

A worm would be worse. But I'd take it.

Highalert · 24/06/2017 20:13

My cat could take a troll. Well he could if he was awake long enough.

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 20:13

Look, I was policing up a racist housekeeper thread and it was all going nicely and then overnight crowd let me down and a bun fight ensued and it went poof. And I totally missed the bunfight never knew why.
