All mumsnetters are equal, but some mumsnetters are more equal than others!

[minorityrules]

It would appear!

Nice to see bullying wasn't lost in the classroom.

No one has the right to stop conversation and intimidate people into submission

You will never stop people talking about the news, but hey, keep thinking you are so above and better than others (minght help if you went out and got a life)

Hey, you don't have to click on them if the titles bother you.

FFS we are having fun

and we have the right of freedom of speech, or so I've been told.

and if you don't like the threads don't click on them

I think it is the spirit of mumsnet, to have a laugh sometimes, when things seeem a wee bit bleak?

Yes, but donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey.

yes, that's right, and I am very equal.

and I'ts been farking bleak for me today, let me tell you.

But this little 'action' has left me feeling that life is good again. And I didn't really think that would happen today.

And I'm actually being serious for a moment

Oh lordy lord

this is the spirit of MN, not muck racking

oh get a sense of humour will you.

Did you see this, minorityrules? This is "news". Read it carefully, please.

ROFL. majority rules, minorityrules.

oops, my italics got lost

"unnamed sources" "denied the report" and "also suggested" "had not been conclusive" were the bits in italics.

And some are less sick than others. Breathing clean air again & enjoying the view.

and swaying arm in arm with the mighty Califrau

LOL at Aitch, just too true!

There's no stopping of conversations - we're actively encouraging lots of conversations about important topics (see news threads).

And if you look, I have commented on the MM threads early on but nothing since other to voice concerns at the way you anti's are behaving

I don't want to discuss it but they can and it has nothing to do with a bunch of bored prattish, twattish idiots who think they are above 'gossip'

It's pathetic, you are all supposed to be grown women and parents! What are teaching your teaching....shout down anyone with a different view to you???

IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ IT DONT OPEN THE THREAD................ TOUCHE

I think you'll find it's called freedom of speech - apparently we're all entitled to it

I'll teach my children to shut up if they're offending everyone else in the room.

I'm above gossip, dontcha know?

oh PARP
have read all these threads & its boring
like others have said, dont open them if it annoys you
dont post on it if people annoy you
thats the beauty of MN

cliques/newbies etc - its all rubbish

MN allows you to skulk or post whatever - we've all had arguements on here & its been forgotten / old fish & chip shop news.....

minorityrules you haven't acknowledged Wendy's SkyNews point

actually if my children ever enjoy those type of conversations I'll be wondering where I went wrong.

No problem with a bit of gossip, anyone want my copy of Hello?

MR, what is there to discuss re Madeleine McCann?

Really?

What cold, hard facts are there?

If there was a thread that only talked about the facts and didn't veer off wildly into "and I always thought her eyes were too close together" and "I wonder if the police have thought to look here, perhaps I'll email them" and "vile speculation about decomposition" then that would be OK.

But the threads always go the same way.

And most of the more intelligent MNers (yes, there IS a hierarchy) are sick to the back teeth of it.
