Your second guess, madamez, is correct.

Why are there so many "woo-addled bucketheads" on here? It seems more widespread than on any other forum I've ever read or posted on. The only thing I can think - and I hesitate to say it, because it sounds slightly sexist - is that this place is 95% female, and so women are more into all this crap. You don't tend to get blokes banging on about aromatherapy or crystal-gazing.

Just slightly sexist, UQD? Or quite a lot sexist? You beast.

oh UQD you never went to Babycentre

they had had more woo to addle them over there than you could ever fit in a bucket

Sorry, habbibu, but it's the only reason i could think of.

And to be fair, UQD, Ben Goldacre seems to have most of his tiffs with men!

True. That could be because he is male, of course, and so picks his fights.

Pffft! Bad Science chivalry!

it's because we are talking about life, UQD

and it is what we face 247 it is like unbelievably hard and no-one fucking understands us, right?

I renounce flounce.
Honestly, I never normally bother grumbling about topics or not, but like wasps, what's this for please MNHQ? did you leave an Apprentice in charge over half-term?

You could be right, cappuccino...

oh talk to the hand UQD

I just can't take any more of this

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."

What does woo mean?

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

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

But no.

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

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

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

pseudo sorry

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"!

hmm, to hide or not to hide...

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

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

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

never

unquiet a lightbulb has litted in my head

you are he aren't you

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.
