to think that this storm in a MN cup will pass, just like others have before?

Judge what was his name

the Narnia thread

spring to mind immediately

Periodically things happen on here and everybody explodes

It will pass, it will pass
(and yes I know that MN is much bigger now, but still)

and of course SWMNBN

CitizenCarmenere · 11/09/2007 23:37

It will yes, thankfully.

harpsichordcarrier · 11/09/2007 23:38

oh god yes of course it will
it is like yesterday's chip paper
only even more emphemeral (sp?)

TolpuddlapinMartyr · 11/09/2007 23:40

Oh yes. It's only newbies (even more newbie than me!) saying "argh, it's the END OF MN!"

Direct them all here

Just wish it would pass quicker - I'm bored, I want a fun thread to read.

louii · 11/09/2007 23:45

Does anyone actually care??

Alambil · 11/09/2007 23:57

am I being completely dense - I don't seem to have found the offending articles

incidentally - what was the Narnia thread about?! (don't say Narnia - why did it get heated?)

VladimireIlychUlyanovPan · 12/09/2007 00:02

'Twill be trounced by the revolution, comrades!!

NappiesGermaineGreerGalore · 12/09/2007 00:23

id quite like some clever witty fun stuff back really. on thew whole.

the strike thread was pretty amusing... but still.

FairyOnTheChristmasTree · 12/09/2007 00:24

Why, what happened?

[nosey]

NappiesGermaineGreerGalore · 12/09/2007 00:29

lol fairy. ignorance is bliss eh?

SueBaroo · 12/09/2007 00:46

Was that the legendary thread where the minions of the White Witch tried to stage a rebellion against the High King Peter and make Turkish Delight the national Narnian dish?

KeirHardAitch · 12/09/2007 01:00

oh yes. i don't think anyone's predicting the end of MN apart from one utterly bonkers newbie.

minorityrules · 12/09/2007 01:10

How long do you have to be here to not be a newbie?

expatinscotland · 12/09/2007 01:11

YANBU

emakana, you have been here a while, as I have.

Ebbs and tides. This is just another one, as you well know.

expatinscotland · 12/09/2007 01:12

maybe I should start a new thread. Would 'kiltman' be a good romantic hero for my next Mills and Boon load of tripe?

KeirHardAitch · 12/09/2007 01:12

it's a state of mind, MR. and i was not referring to you, by the way. i think you can guess who i meant.

expatinscotland · 12/09/2007 01:13

It is indeed, MR. A state of mind entirely.

KeirHardAitch · 12/09/2007 01:14

(course what's grim about this one is that there actually isn't an end in sight. more grim for the people Actually Involved, though...)

WaldenYapp · 12/09/2007 01:17

But this whole furore is made up of about 30 posters IIRC. All on the same threads.

expatinscotland · 12/09/2007 01:17

No doubt, Aitch. And I was the first one to criticise some of their actions.

Big difference between that and what's going on just now.

But hey, this too shall pass.

KeirHardAitch · 12/09/2007 01:20

sooner the better, expat.

expatinscotland · 12/09/2007 01:22

Oh, it's nothing that unusual, Aitch.

FWIW, I think the combo of Danish cartoon/Israel: When will the West do something was far more decisive.

expatinscotland · 12/09/2007 01:23

divisive, even.

And even the Jade Goody threads.

Red rug, anyone?
