...but why oh why are hugs considered unMN-like?

[mamakoukla]

After all, there seems to be plenty of unMN-like hugs going around, and after all what's so bad about a hug?

seriously?...

and sat
am a social butterlfly atm

I quite admire Tigga for her resolute refusal to relinquish the signatures. Some of them positively subvert the genre. She may, in fact, be a genius of irony along the lines of hullygully, and is much misunderstood.

I am going to swindon on Sun for my sins

sigh

swindon on sun? is that not a tad hot? not to mention a few million light years away? (arf! its late. i need to go to bed)

ah to the oolay villarge?

there is a liz arden discount sore that sells mac etc

I love the way Tigga signs off and it always makes me chuckle.

I don't do hugs or huns but in some circumstances they are very apt.

I absolutely draw the lines at tickers.

Tigga gets away with it, a lot of her sign offs are not even vaguely Hun-like or fluffy.
I like it, it is her style, if everyone started doing it though it wouldn't be right.

It's common

well said cust

What's common?

If I want to give someone a hug, I'll give them a damn hug and if people don't like it they can sod right off hugs, licks and generally snuggles I watch my language far too much on here as it is.

:P (I want a raspberry emoticon, is just too grown up and I want a sarcastic font )

See, I don't think they are unMN-like any more. In fact I think "unMN-like hug" is very representative of the newer MN.

So a nod at the old MN, while in essence quite different IYSWIM.

I didn't like the Tigga sign-offs at first but I have now been won over

Oh no, I like Tigga's sign offs. tbh, it's rather an 'up yours' to the no-ticker thing isn't it? It makes her stand out. And clearly she doesn't give a crap what we think. How much more 'Mn'y can you get?

And the no hugs thing, well, it's a reaction to the general been to the shop and stubbed by toe on the kerb oh did you hun of other forums. Hugs are saved for emergencies! death, destruction and running out of chocolate.

Don't get the hugs business at all. Toooooo slushy and just wrong and insincere when the hugger isn't going to actually deliver it to the huggee. Just wierd.

I was on a huggy site before and everyone was soooo bloody nicey nicey and oversensitive. Mners tell it like it is.

Hate the hug culture. I can tolerate understand it being used in emergencies (as already described) but even then I find it a bit odd, I mean its a virtual cuddle
