No facetiousness intended, simply a result of noticing a keeness to "attack" someone after ascribing entirely mis-placed 'labels' to them. This has been invariably after (perhaps deliberately) mis-reading posts made by them and then running away with themsleves on a tirade of bad language and general abuse, nothing to do with ANY level of debate.

It often manifests with posters apparently thinking"well if you think A, then you must think B" to themslves. It happened quite alot on the "bombings" thread over the weekend, to me specifically on a different thread, and have just seen it again elsewhere.

This IS a 'written word' forum, so I don't think it unreasonable to expect reading and comprehension skills to be absent.

Please read posts for what they say. NOT what you wish them to say.

I thank ewe.

I don't mind the popcorny's or the pedants but the malicious name changers really piss me off.

BorisofWales · 01/07/2007 17:08

Yes Carmenere. Once again we agree.

Cowards, yellow bellied, chicken shit COWARDS.

I may be disliked by a lot of people, but at least I have the balls to say what I really think instead of hiding behind a namechange.

Speaking of name changing (totally agree on the chicken shit COWARDS bit btw), any chance of you asking Tech to work his magic and let you have WB back?

I just can't get used to you like this, it's like your sitting on your head and typing with your toes. All upside downish.

BorisofWales · 01/07/2007 17:15

It feels weird StG

I haven't asked if I can have it back, I just re-registered with this name.

SaintGeorge · 01/07/2007 17:17

Sweet talk Tech. Go on, you know you want to.

Peachy · 01/07/2007 17:28

LL - the name is TnOgu

Quattrocento · 01/07/2007 18:57

TNog - you are on - where are you going and why?

TnOgu · 01/07/2007 19:04

I have a lot of things to catch up on in rl.

I probably will dip back in now and again.

How are you, Quattro?

TnOgu · 01/07/2007 19:09

< I've just spotted you are discussing education - I'll leave you to it >

Bye for now.

I think these passive aggressive threads are really tedious with all the oblique references to 'some mumsnetters' who are far less intelligent than the OP.
If you have something to say, why not say it?

TnOgu · 01/07/2007 19:31

The name thing means nothing.

It's what you post that counts.

Pan · 01/07/2007 19:49

Aloha - this isn't a passive aggressive thread, but if you wish to see it so, please do. I can't stop you.

It is a plea for peeps to read posts properly before launching personal attacks. Tis all.
