To want the thread police..

[SmileEachDay]

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.

I can't be fussed with C&P chunks of other people's posts then picking them to bits. What the hell's wrong with you? Picking posts to bits seems to be the raison d'etre of most people on MN.

I know derxa. It's like being interrogated sometimes.

I tend to reply to the poster IYKWIM. So bold their name. Like I did to derxa just.

Nothing worse than a controversial thread on which you spend ages C&P different posters' arguments and building a beautifully elaborate response, only to go to post it and find the whole thread's gone pooft.

But, like in this thread, if you only bold the NN and then add a short comment (such as, "you're right as usual") how will I know which of my various posts did it refer to? I'll just have to assume it's all of them.

Ahem, Lweji this thread is finished. You can stop posting now.

Raspberry you're the one keeping it going.

No, it's not.

Now now, lads!

No, I'm just posting because you lot keep posting.

I love the deletion notice "it turned into a bit of a bunfight" AKA there were death threats and posters had drawn their Kalashnikovs in a standoff"

Stop trying to silence debate Madam

It's not serious unless there are defenestrations.

(it's a Trump thread thing)

I meant this thread is like Insurgency. Not like an insurgence. Joke fail. I know no one cares.

Note my username, Smile

PAAT (post about a thread) Lweji

Not allowed, sadly

Madam

Who can we defenestrate?

Winnie! Do folks still ask after the phantom Winnie?

The oversharing thread is developing nicely

Sparkling Is that the thread about the Husband who came home drunk and the OP, said he ruined their trip out and that their dd had been upset by it all?

Sorrry. Sorry sorry.

Back to INSURGENCY.

Oh yes, drunk husband. Do tell.

Ding dong the witch is dead

I started a thread a few nights ago, as I'd had a fall and had hurt my head and thought I might have a broken arm (I did).

I had called 111 for advice, and they suggested I might need to be admitted (I was waiting for them to call me back). I was worried, because I had absolutely no way of getting to the hospital, so started a thread to get some advice and because I just needed a chat with someone. Next thing, a couple of posters are on the thread doing the pathetic 'popcorn' posts.

I always used to scoff at those who went on about Mumsnet having gone downhill, but I have to say that I agree with them these days.
