this might be controvesial but how come the people who have joined specifically to comment on how terrible MNers are in the Madeleine / Shrek thing ...

how come they can neither spell accurately nor use the rules of English Grammar?

As im a newbie, please can someone explain what is a ticker, a troll and what is pmsl?

I am laughing a lot at Boco and Chevre's explanations.

A ticker is something they use on Netmums to illustrate their posts, a troll is someone who comes on here delibarately trying to start a row and pmsl is on the acronym list at the top of this page!

pmsl = pissing myself laughing

troll = a poster who is just trying to get a rise out of other posters.

ticker = hideously cutesy visual attack usually seen at the bottom of posts on fluffier websites that will tell you all sorts of unneccessary information about their children/ovulation cycles/fetishes etc.

Oooh Haychee - are you the same person as the original OP? Didn't know that. You were very very rude....>

I did try to be nice earlier but i think you failed to notice. Tis my fate to be ignored . I don't agree with you but I admire your gritty determination . MN is pretty good place to be most of the time.

ah-hah i see.
thankyou!
im not a troll, i simply have strong views which alot of you disagreed with. I did get a hell of alot of flak didnt i? patting myself on the back again.

I thought a ticker was something that could be dodgy in the unhealthy.

I was only rude i think because of WELLS comments they were just truly out of complete and total order!

and alot of people were rude to me also. I apologise for the rudeness but i was provoked to the max

No, a lot of people disagreed with you. You took it personally. It's different.

You weren't the OP then? Because that seemed to be sudden violent and unexpected rudeness out of a clear blue sky!!! To which some of responded with more

calm down, everyone, or littlelapin will put you on the naughty step!

just because my opinion is diversly different to others does not call for the abuse and name calling and general belittlement i recieved

what is an OP?

original poster.

Ah-hah
I tried to join the discussion when i joined and for some reason (probobly my mistake) it kept on starting a whole new thread. I was just trying to join in and discuss. I again am deeply apologetic if this caused confusion. I didnt start the original debate, i joined later.

There appears to be alot of confusion as to whether i was listening to what you all were saying. At first i wasnt listening, i admit that. I slept on it overnight and still felt the same about the total withdrawl of the ad. However, i am now more aware that some kids are far more sensitive than my own. I did come here quite abrupt and fierce in my views - now i have calmed and am more understanding of those parents who are against the ad. But i still wouldnt want it to be withdrwan entirley. I think a poster of her picture with a number to call would absolutely be sufficient at a U cert film.

Hoorah! success im sooo pleased. Do we then agree that school age children cannot be totally shielded from the darker side of life?

God no Of course not. I take mine to MaccyD's regularly. Suffering is good for the soul so they say

15 months is far too young for any kind of explanation of the events over madeleine. I would also wonder if a child of that age can appreciate shrek?
Anyway the film was toss, i was very disappointed to have paid the current price at the local cinema to watch it. You?

Its time to put mine to bed, back in a mo.
