No idea what it stands for sorry

longdistanceclaraclara · 11/05/2024 18:08

Who said it's not allowed?

Hermittrismegistus · 11/05/2024 18:08

It seems to be counted as a personal attack now.

Oh do fuck off dear

BettyWont · 11/05/2024 18:09

I don't think telling another poster to fuck off was ever allowed, was it?

Eminybob · 11/05/2024 18:09

Since when was it not allowed. I haven't seen it for a while to be fair, but I didn't realise it had been banned Shock

This? Haven't seen it much lately but just figured it's out of fashion!

If you can’t express your opinion without telling people to fuck off then you shouldn’t be here, OP.

Welcome to mumsnet

BettyWont · 11/05/2024 18:10

I've been on MN for 13 years and I don't ever remember it being allowed.

Agree, name calling and verbal insults are completely unnecessary

ThreeEggOmlette · 11/05/2024 18:10

You're allowed to think it.

But 'Oh bore off' is the accepted form.

PineappleTime · 11/05/2024 18:11

It wasn't ever allowed to tell someone to fuck off and everyone knows what is stands for.

CountingCrones · 11/05/2024 18:12

Mumsnet is where I learnt it, so it must have been allowed at some point. I'm not here often enough to catch deleted posts.

Exactly.

Why would you want to tell people to fuck off? Just argue your point or ignore.

Nonsense

It was allowed and often justified

LightsOnSparklingTowers · 11/05/2024 18:13

I think they have always deleted it IF it was reported.

WrenNatsworthy · 11/05/2024 18:13

Let's all meet up in matron"s office at midnight for a feast, and take it turns to go under the table and say it.

When is it justified to tell a stranger to fuck off

Just because some people don’t report it doesn’t mean it’s allowed.

Yes, this is what I think.

You'd often see ODFOD on some threads, but they were always deleted if reported.

It's a personal attack after all.

formerlyofthisparish · 11/05/2024 18:15

It def was allowed

Nanny0gg · 11/05/2024 18:15

It was here and it was allowed and I've used it

And I stand by it

There were threads where you'd have a really distressed OP and some sanctimonious ...person... would be persistently victim blaming or being obnoxious.

So I used it

So sue me
