in wondering why MN is paying the fugging Fonz to tip up here

[Shefflin]

when I'm posting for zip?

Yo, who's the man Stainesy mon?

I would just like to out myself as a Shefflin fan. 'banging this skanger' and 'at pace' now part of my own vocabulary. bring it, sheff.

I always assumed this was a teenage boy out to offend... Didn't know it'd written an article!

you de man, undoubtedly. loving the use of 'fug' also.

Note: Please bear in mind that this topic encourages posters to give their opinions - i.e. they might disagree with you. That said, in line with our Talk policy elsewhere, we don't allow personal attacks no matter how unreasonable you think someone is.

It'd written an article? It?!? Do I look like Margaret fugging Thatcher pal?

That'll be why the posts with you asking someone if they'd had a stroke were deleted then!

That was fast.

missed that. am disappointed in you, s.

deleted before I could even report it!

I reported it

Reality....perhaps you could explain why you thought the op was amusing rather than offensive?

Er, if you'd care to look at the context, it was a reference to the "smiley" faces that were posted to me. Pray tell, how could that be deemed offensive to an anonymous poster?

Didn't think so.

what daftpunk said

Maybe because Strokes are not funny????

MumsnetHQ obviously couldn't see the reference to the smiley faces (just as others couldn't) else they wouldn't have deleted it. They don't do things just cause I tell them to!

thing is shefflin...lot's of things can be deemed offensive to anonymous posters...some of those posters take great delight in telling other posters how "offensive" they are...and then find comments about stroke victims amusing??...all very strange.

It's a smiley face. Look - he's not really sad is he? No.

maybe he isn't...but you are.

Whether it was a reference to the icon or not, it was still offensive.
