Fair do's it was a good idea, but one that has (I think) contributed to the (alomst) constant tetchyness on MN - think back to the days before the IABU board, when we al had to at least try to be bloody reasonable - that being the point of MN!!

Sorry about that and anyways...I kind of like the idea of self responsiblity and since the AIBU biard came up, things have been getting much less reasonable:

I think this is cos of

Whoever came up/or okayed the board title had no idea of the strength of meme they were unleashing on MN and it has taken over. It wil devour MN and all the good will there in. Just look at channel 5 FGS!

solutiuon - close it down (not an option as I know its so popular) or call it something else not so reasonable - like tantrums and tiaras!

I would love a topic called tantrums and tiaras you would not be able to keep me out.

pointygravedogger · 26/10/2008 22:27

my good lord. Meme is a real word and here I was thinking it was a mis-type.

What sort of highly intelligent fool posted this op?

pointygravedogger · 26/10/2008 22:27

I'd rather stick with the face of Boe

Woollymummy · 26/10/2008 22:30

Shhhh, don't draw attention to her, we don't want her kicked out. No idea why she went, missed it all....

ScottishMummy · 26/10/2008 22:32

so fess up OLD did you get yer arse skelped on AIBU and now have da hump.hence cries of ban it

aibu is the lifeblood of MN.the argy bargy,the narky posts,the humph when no one agrees with OP
