UQD BG?! No way!

[foxinsocks]

there are too many topics

we need to slash and burn

[finknottle]

Get the "woo" thanks to UQD's translation.
Don't get "buckethead".
Want equal access to Shed. I sulk retire to my potting shed when seeking peace & quiet.

H digs himself into his study.

[madamez]

IN which case we need an automatic emoticon for 'Fuck off to Flouncers' Corner you buckethead!'
A smiley face showing its arse and flipping a V, perhaps?

[JustineMumsnet]

We'll have to give some thought to a system of punitive fines for posting in the wrong area - that could be fun.

[JustineMumsnet]

I think the time had come when we had to face up to the fact that the Flouncers need their place too. After all Cod, you've got your lipgloss area. And yes it could also be a neat receptacle for all the MN is crap/not like it was in the good old days/full of meanies threads so we know where to look when we are feeling too carefree .

[UnquietDad]

I see it as like the "sin-bin" in rugby where people are sent off for 10 mins.

[Hulababy]

Is it like a time out corner where the flouncers can spend some moments rflecing and calmng down?

[UnquietDad]

Thing is the "reasonable" thing is from Sam Harris, not me.

"It is worth noting that no one ever need identify himself as a non-astrologer or a non-alchemist. Consequently, we do not have words for people who deny the validity of these pseudo-disciplines. Likewise, ?atheism? is a term that should not even exist. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make when in the presence of religious dogma."

[stuffitllama]

ooh i don't know

calling oneself reasonable

we are all reasonable to ourselves, it's everyone else that's unreasonable -- oh can you take it back, can't bear that "i'm a reasonable man" line

i believe you're not Ben though -- too nice

[UnquietDad]

No, I'm not Ben. Promise.

And so-called "aggressive" or "militant" atheism is just the reasonable person's response to the encroachment of superstition into our daily lives.

[stuffitllama]

unquiet a lightbulb has litted in my head

you are he aren't you

[stuffitllama]

uqd you are not a fan of ben goldacre are you ?

i can forgive aggressive atheism and even shed sulking but that man

never

[fullmoonfiend]

hmm, to hide or not to hide...

Then again I'm so self absrobed, I never notice if people have gone or not.

[HereComeTheGirls]

I think this corner is a genius idea...anyone contemplating a big dramatic attention seeking flounce will immediately feel stupid as they have to post it in "flouncer's corner"!

[UnquietDad]

pseudo sorry

[UnquietDad]

osmosis - woo is the general term for anything crystal-waving, paranormal, "alternative", dippy-hippy, pesuedo-sciencey.

[Marina]

PMSL at stubborn stain, that's a fine way to refer to your dh capp

[Cappuccino]

it is great

if we hide it then we will never know people went

they always come back in about 2 minutes to tell us they are a) drunk or b) sorry or c) having difficulty shifting a stubborn stain

[tortoiseSHELL]

I think they all got pissed and thought it would be REALLY funny!

But no.

[Cappuccino]

(actually I think you are supposed to shout at me for being a bad mother, if we are actually channelling Jeremy Vine)

[OsmosisBanana]

What does woo mean?

[UnquietDad]

marina -

Now imagining Justine in power-suit saying "I've been in the parenting and website-running business for 20 years. This IS the job interview from hell."
