to be annoyed with MNHQ's description of the Schools closed thread in Discussions of the Day?

[ThumbleBells]

IF you'd bothered to read the thread, MNHQ, you would have seen that it's NOT the teachers who make the decision to close schools, so it's pretty poor of you to call teachers "snow wimps".

I'm still annoyed over when you said ginger-bashing was "acceptable" as well (it isn't), but this is getting silly.

A bit more sense and sensitivity in your descriptions please - people are obviously posting on these threads for them to be discussions of the day without you being all contentious about it!

oh get over yourself!

YABU

perhaps you'd feel more at home on netmums.

I thought the same famish! Hug kiss smile hug!

Errr.. surely it's quite hard for them to come up with rhyming, witty little descriptions to fit in that tiny box. I like them.

Is it not ok to bash ginger people then?

You're only allowed to bash catholics on mumsnet, everyone else is beyond reproach including gingers.

Outside, Hando, now, we'll see who bashes who!
(in case you hadn't guessed, I am a ginger )

Not all of them rhyme.

I think yanbu as it isn't the teachers who make the decisions.

obviously no teachers here then..

YANBU - if it rhymed I MAY forgive them but as it doesn't, I won't.

but it's phrased as a question - the implication being that that is the OP's take on the debate. It's not claiming to be MNHQ's opinion, and it doesn't read like that!

I think it's meant to be like 'are teachers no wimps', like an amusing pun. Geddit?

You are being far too senstive thumbells

I am not a school teacher.

I don't like ginger bashing either

No I don't want "niceness" - just a bit more accuracy and sense.

No comment re netmums - I'd probably get done for libel.

Thumble MNHQ is just using a jokey contentious title to get us to look at the thread.

Somewhat like the Sun does

that's funny, Jamie, I was just thinking the same thing - it's just like the Sun titles! . Great minds...

the point is to be contentious and funny!

hell if you find snow wimp widdle bit offensive wait til someone starts lord mayorin about all the daft twats on mn

but they are not making statements are they?
They are posting the broad gist of the OP on the thread and inviting you to agree or disagree.

Poor MNHQ. Just trying to make board look interesting and accesible to newbies and numpties, and all they get is nit picking.

[big fat suck up]

I was also sucking up to MNHQ (I know it didn't seem like it). I happen to think Sun headlines are a form of evil genius.

This is the lamest OP I've ever seen.

yes it is a doozey

that should be a thread. lamest op ever.....

Probably no risk of upset or offence there.
