I have just seen a thread (probaly can't find it again, I'm new and finding my way!!) but two people kept posting to each other along the lines of

"that's not what the OP asked why are you butting in"

and

"I can say what I like, it's a public forum! bla bla bla"

I'm a bit shocked - does that happen a lot?

Why don't people just stop posting? It seems so silly!

Ha, yes, a 'Who is Cod and why does she type so funny?' thread

Ilovemydog - I have no idea.

CaptainFabioHiltsTheCoolerCat · 21/08/2008 15:08

Who?

VictorianSqualor · 21/08/2008 15:08

The Hand That Feeds Fabio

Hi K8Y

'You are all BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE YOU ALL YOU FECKERS!!!!'

It's because we can't really go around saying stuff like the above in RL (real life). Unless you get very drunk and disordely a la Jade Goody/Amy Whitehouse.

hercules1 · 21/08/2008 15:09

DOes anyone remember when we had mods and lou used to put her hat on?

QuintessentialShadows · 21/08/2008 15:10

May I take the opportunity to point out that it is spelt WINEHOUSE.

zippitippitoes · 21/08/2008 15:11

just for fun

BecauseImWorthIt · 21/08/2008 15:12

Oh, and K8Y, you need to watch out for the pedants as well ...

BouncingTurtle · 21/08/2008 15:12

QS - yeah and her too!

I'm confused with Mary...

QuintessentialShadows · 21/08/2008 15:12

You will also find that some posters get their knickers in a twist over spelling mistakes, and some when they are losing an interesting debate and not really manage to put their arguments together, stoop to the "oh but you cant spell" or "excuse me, it is Winehouse, not Whitehouse, you cant even spell so what do you know" trap.

See what I did in my previous post?

CaptainFabioHiltsTheCoolerCat · 21/08/2008 15:14

....or The Hand That Locks The Garage Door, VS.

BouncingTurtle · 21/08/2008 15:16

That something else that happens. A poster gets her knickers in a twist and then starts a thread in Chat stating that "Mumsnet is full of nasty bitches so I'm going to never post again coz I hate you all and I'm going to cry and hide in N*m*s where I'll get lots of {{{{{hugs}}}} and get called hun".

And then they continue to post when everyone replies to them to point and laugh.

CaptainFabioHiltsTheCoolerCat · 21/08/2008 15:19

Some people are determined to get the last word.

When a thread reaches 1000 posts, you can't post on it any more, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief.

theirmum · 21/08/2008 15:24

Oh really VS thank goodness Tom knows bedtime is bedtime he goes to bed at 7.30 and wakes up at about 7 just a shame that I cant put him down at all in the daytime I have now got used to one hand typing lol! I am feeling loads better nearly in the right mind to talk about babies the pills must be working

we all do sound like cows dont we but were not I promise

VictorianSqualor · 21/08/2008 15:30

But after that thread gets to 1000, you'll see another one pop up 'Part duex'
And some threads get nasty, and get deleted, so keep your eye on chat, one is bound to pop up saying 'Did that really nasty thread get deleted?' 'What nasty thread?' 'The one where Cod threatened to get Fabio spayed' 'Reeeeeally? that's terrible!' and so on. then it gets deleted.

pagwatch · 21/08/2008 15:34

fabio will be spayed if he doesn't stop peeing on things.
and all that dry humping...

dal21 · 21/08/2008 15:34

and then you are really chuffed if you saw aforementioned thread before whole thread was deleted...

or maybe that's just me

theirmum · 21/08/2008 15:39

lol dal true although there hasnt been one for a while unless I missed it!

CaptainFabioHiltsTheCoolerCat · 21/08/2008 16:11

You all know very well that my nads are no longer attached to me and she wears them as earrings to torment me.

theirmum · 21/08/2008 16:22

lol why be so angry like is so much better without nads

pagwatch · 21/08/2008 16:25

does she jangle them at you ? do they sway like tiny ornaments of torment?

I warned you about the dry humping...

VictorianSqualor · 21/08/2008 16:27

I'd be worried if I were you Fabio, she'll be after a matching bracelet next, you'll look like your Manx sisters

CaptainFabioHiltsTheCoolerCat · 21/08/2008 16:40

She'll have to catch me first.

I'm enjoying the Olympics, but the acommodation is a little cramped

K8y · 22/08/2008 12:27

Yikes no text speak. You get that my screen name is IRONIC I trust!! ;)
