I am assuming it was pulled but why? Did the poster turn out to be a troll?

No, she asked for it to be pulled - although the jury is still out. There is a (vaguely) tangent thread just beginning titled "swimming cert" or something similar.

memoo · 21/05/2010 18:26

thanks, will pop and have a look

Unless you caught the end of the other one it'll make very little sense

Willabywallaby · 21/05/2010 18:31

I was only on page 15! Came back while bath running and it's gone, shame.

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 21/05/2010 18:39

It kinda descended into posters being threatened with the might of MN Towers by the op. It was all very random. I am curious as to whether it was obvious trollery or a someone who is probably going to really need us in a few months time and is very welcome to come back and argue debate some more.

ben10isgr8 · 21/05/2010 19:33

Was it the "someone said something mean at NCT?" damn...I was just looking for it. I only got to page 5!

HecateQueenOfWitches · 21/05/2010 19:37

The OP of that thread threatened posters with MN Towers? Crikey. Friends in high places, eh?

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 21/05/2010 19:49

That's the one ben10.

Yes Hecate, , they kept referring to them as "The adminastrators"

It was a bit like MN Towers had joined the darkside for a bit. Without actually meaning too. There were lots of "Ooh the Admin are going to have a field day with that!" type posts.

I could picture MN Towers sitting around discussing how they were going to deal with someone who thought they were Nunsnet.

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 21/05/2010 19:50

damnit, "administrators"

CatJosephine · 21/05/2010 19:54

was this the OP who called her DH hubby?

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 21/05/2010 19:54

CJ, it was indeed.

CatJosephine · 21/05/2010 19:57

Actually I assumed your typo was deliberate YKNoftheC!

ParanoidAtAllTimes · 21/05/2010 19:57

Darnit, I'd just got to p9 and was getting all worked up to vent my feelings on the op!

bubbles4 · 21/05/2010 19:58

I saved that thread to read when I had more time and having now read it fail to see why it got pulled,the op gave as good as she got but it was very strange and had all the markings of a troll imo.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 21/05/2010 20:00

so clearly someone who doesn't know MN very well, if they think there are admins and mods patrolling the hallways.

It's more Escape From New York City in here

samoa · 21/05/2010 20:03

what is a troll?

HecateQueenOfWitches · 21/05/2010 20:05

troll

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 21/05/2010 20:07

Hec, no clue whatsoever. Offensive and deliberate in thought and word - she'd have really fitted in

She had all the markings of a troll (same posting style as that one a couple of months back, but I reserve judegement) but could just be an utterly deluded, almost-mother who is a little too defensive about everything.

CJ

Paranoid, it was all so smug and obvious, don't worry. I'm sure what you wanted to say was said!

ParanoidAtAllTimes · 21/05/2010 20:21

YouKnow- yeah, you're right. I was just so !

Not surprised it was a troll though.

Effjay · 21/05/2010 20:24

It was a cracker! Shame it's gone, but I daresay it was descending into the ridiculous - actually, it started off pretty ridiculous in the first place

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 21/05/2010 20:28

No guarantee she was a troll. She asked for it to be pulled (just as we were all getting going )

It was certainly ridiculous.

notthatfunnyreally · 21/05/2010 20:30

The "can I ask you a question mum to mum" bit was weird from someone who as yet has no kids.

Maybe I'm being weird but I didn't think of myself as a Mum til I had the baby in my arms.

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 21/05/2010 20:32

Same here. Don't forget the "Girls" at the beginning.

I felt a bit defensive from there on in. ERm... but you're not a mum. You will be, and that'll be lovely, and we'll be here for you, but you're not. Not yet.

Raksha · 21/05/2010 20:35

I liked it when she explained what an NCT class was, for those of us that might be unfamiliar. That was my fave.

LadyBiscuit · 21/05/2010 20:35

Was wondering what had happened too. I'm fairly sure it was a troll. That posted IM convo between hubby and her convinced me. But she knew her diabetes
