Actually I don't think I am but can we stop all the Cod challenge threads now. No one can tell who is for real and who isn't and it is such a waste of time replying to threads that aren't real

(only 50 more to go)

hi WT - you do amuse me.

FrannyandZooey · 09/03/2008 18:57

I've never seen cod repeatedly start threads to bitch about one particular poster

ahundredtimes · 09/03/2008 18:58

Thank you blueshoes.

So this is poetic justice?

foxinsocks · 09/03/2008 18:58

aaah but the pen is mightier than the sword

ahundredtimes · 09/03/2008 18:59

It's not nearly as exciting as I thought it would be (poetic justice that is).

actually, you're making me feel all Jonathan Aitken ish. I'm going to have to wield my simple sword of truth in a minute.

i want boco to come here and be wise and funny and kind and we shall all laugh.

where the fuck is boco?

ahundredtimes · 09/03/2008 19:00

Ah gawn Foxy, but give us notice so we can hide behind cushions and things.

We might need protective eye-wear too [pompous but with strong health and safety concerns]

foxinsocks · 09/03/2008 19:03

you can have the trusty shield of British fair play (still makes me lol that quote)

perhaps Boco is hiding. I think I can see her peeping out from under the couch.

blueshoes · 09/03/2008 19:03

In this context it means fishy ones who like to do piss-takes (I find some funny myself) should not complain if they find themselves facing the sharp end of the stick.

ahundredtimes · 09/03/2008 19:04

[suspicious] Is this sharp stick in any way related to the sword of which you speak, or indeed to Foxy's promising weaponry?

foxinsocks · 09/03/2008 19:04
blueshoes · 09/03/2008 19:06

still on sword

foxinsocks · 09/03/2008 19:07

is the stick in your pocket then blueshoes? Like a back up weapon ?

thank goodness for this thread. It has explained a lot.

i started a thread a couple of weeks ago that some posters took great offence to and one particular lady said i should just admit that i was trying to get as many posts on my thread and make a name for myself on MN! I was so shocked i stopped posting as I realised there must be things and people on this website that i really had nooooo idea about. I posted about something I thought was trivial and funny but now realise that my OP fit about 6 of those Cod challenges. V funny now, but now realize some must have thought I was a troll.

Sorry for hijack, but v relieved to find explanation for some highly hysterical posts.

The challenge has actually brought quite a few positive to the boards.

Recently mn has got a bit down, the odd upsetting troll, bitching and in-fighting.

Since the challenge strarted there have been some awesome threads, I nod to the list makers, rhymes, quotes, prettiness

We've had amusing trolls - good!!

People have been started threads left right and centre, some funny, some serious, some just plain odd.

So a couple of the challenges were dumb - trying to get reported.

But c'mon mn has been light and farcical again like an episode Cheers.

Only funnier.

Just pointing out that it hasn't been all bad.

wats she was a troll who posted about domestic violence causing premature birth of baby - sucked a lot in, inc me

unknownrebelbang · 09/03/2008 20:06

I don't think it's all been bad.

I do think it was started in good faith and was meant to be funny.

It has, however, now got tedious.

imvho.

A week can be a lonnnnnnnnnng time on MN.

Emprexia · 09/03/2008 20:06

F&Z stop trying to make this about Cod, its not, its about the fact that the challange is silly and petty and potentially could upset some very genuine people in need of help.

Kaishay I am responding to the large number of posts on here about cod

if it isn't about her why have so many posters referred to her and insulted her?

fym · 09/03/2008 20:12
