I read a nice term yesterday somehere: Liberal Fascists - we have lovely hippy ideas and don't you dare disagree with us. I was on the "faith schools - how do they get away with it?" thread. I should have known from the title it wasn't going to be a sensible debate I suppose. I'm very happy for people to disagree and find their views really interesting, but it descended into anti-christian rants, which would, in any other context, be called "incitement to religious hatred" - just because I dared to disagree.
Regarding the smacking thread, (Hi Liquidlocks - nice to see you one here), I think you and I should just resign ourselves to being a couple of Slappers .
Seriously though, its a shame that when some people can't win the intellectal debate, they descend into name calling and abuse.
My friend used to run the Guardian chat pages and she says there are a group on there who deliberately go round disrupting some discussions, trying to provoke people into fights so it descends into chaos.
Sorry everyone else for the diversion, but I was so cross yeserday I didn't even come onto MN - which is drastic, as I am a serious addict.
When I'm trying to find something, I usually look under "in last hour" or "in last day" if I'm not already on that thread.
I would really appreciate someone telling me how to do links as well. Glad its not just me who hasn't worked out how .
Pennygaff - the fanny site is so funny isn't it? I think I might even use the term "minnie" now for DD's Volvo.
Eivsvold - please, too much detail about the poo. We're a rather delicate lot on here at the moment . What's the weather like where you are at the moment? Come on, make us all jealous
