I love Mn....we all do, thats why we are here. so don't jump on me and tell me off for slagging it off, because im not.

but i do wonder if some people just dont really know what they want.

If the word netmums, ((((hugs)))) or Hun is mentioned we all shudder and run for the nearest hiding spot. and yet recently i have noticed with increased regularity the slightest hint at a debate or a subject likely to cause debate and we get lots of "hard hats" and "im off to get popcorn" and even worse people actually advising that the subject matter be dropped.

the intellectual aspect of MN is what i love most. the fact that there are people with such varied views and such great ability to voice them articulately.

why is it that we now wish to stop people from posting anything that is even slightly controversial?

aaaah, the line is the line and it's a hostage to fortune, as has just been amply demonstrated by your put-outness, OO. perhaps do it in italics next time, cos in all honesty i think when people do it they're being serious and that they think all convo should cease forthwith, which i do find ludicrous on a talkboard.

AitchTwoCiao · 27/05/2008 20:16

although you, OO, were not the line offender i had in mind...

i post my whinging on MN and always get my arse kicked but its a good thing actually, makes me take a look at myself and get a life!

I like a debate too, in fact i love a good barney. I don't like it when things get personal though.
