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.

Cloppy

I'm fairly slim but don't wear cardigans. I'd definitely have "I think you're a wanker' written all over my face after typing it too 😜

Wotcha KS Wink

I never bother with 'Lighthearted' threads. You just know they're going to be shit.

MaQueen · 24/06/2017 18:19

As any Mnetter worth their salt knows, the only permissible come-back is 'I think you're confusing me with someone who gives a fuck about your opinion'

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 18:25

Oh, nice police work, there sailaway

And a "stealth boast" for the bingo card.

Double whammy.

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 18:28

We just need a post from OliviaMumsnet reminding us that this is a supportive place and peace and love.

Or an ""

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 18:29

What I meant is a polite notice on this Internal Affairs thread from the real thread police

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 18:30

OMG I've been talking to myself for the last 5 minutes.

IonaMumsnet · 24/06/2017 18:31

Just swinging by to check this definitely isn't a thread about a thread in any way at all. Let's keep it nice and general. It's been a long day and my banhammer arm is weary. Thanks, lads.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 24/06/2017 18:32

No, it's lighthearted Iona.

I read your muckspreading thread Sparkling. I love the country smells. Thread police not so much. Miserable fuckers.

KatieScarlett · 24/06/2017 18:33

That's like magic Raspberry
It wasn't Olivia but good call all the same.

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 24/06/2017 18:34

Are you on glue, Raspberry?

Highalert · 24/06/2017 18:34

I just wanted to go and police a thread, but I stopped myself.

Lweji · 24/06/2017 18:34

Ahem.

I never bold.

How am I supposed to know if you're a twit or quoting one, then?

SmileEachDay · 24/06/2017 18:35

It's lighthearted for sure.

It's not (lighthearted) though.

"OMG I've been talking to myself for the last 5 minutes"

No, no raspberry we've all been paying close attention to everything you've been saying

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 18:35

I clearly have leverage.

(Haha, nicemadam it's well about turn glue was mentioned.)

Sparklingbrook · 24/06/2017 18:36

I bold the NN or maybe a sentence.. I can't be fussed with C&P chunks of other people's posts then picking them to bits.

derxa · 24/06/2017 18:36

Thanks, lads. Grin

KatieScarlett · 24/06/2017 18:36

Lads

Fair enough Iona.

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 18:37

😂

Lweji · 24/06/2017 18:37

More like lightheaded.

Lweji · 24/06/2017 18:39

I can't be fussed with C&P chunks of other people's posts then picking them to bits.

When I do that I end up offending the wrong pp. I'm only for offending the right poster.

MaQueen · 24/06/2017 18:39

S'alright KS I have enough cuppage for both of us (34G)...
