Sod the parp... how about

[flamebat]

A sort of anti-watch button, to take threads that are riling you up, out of the active convs list when you look at it???

I can parp myself all I like, but I still don't have the willpower to not click and get worked up again

sounds like a good one flamebat.... maybe certain people could then refrain from posting hurtful comments on certain threads.

oh fgs jbam
have a lol at yourself.

What - with a voice added to it saying

"PLEASE step away from the thread Flamebat"

"This is your FINAL warning, step AWAY from the thread"

Nah, i like parp hooting!

Can't anyone on MN take gentle teasing any more??

Sheesh!

Johnson's Holiday Face Lotion for EVERYONE! With some face illuminator to mix it with! Rub into face and shoulders for some holiday glow.

Am thinking of instigating a comment here nettiquette.

cod some of ur commnets have been rather hurtful I thought (infact not just u but some posters on JM's thread have been hurtful - and it's not even me who's having the baby!)

fab idea FB.

sd - nothing wrong with gentle teasing but plain rude comments are just uncalled for I think - althou this is the internet where things can be percieved as nasty when they're not iycwim.

Nope. Can only see teasing I'm afraid (although as with everything here it depends how you read it as no "tone" comes through). Coddy even put a smiley in which is extremely rare for her!!

I'm going to PARP myself now

at myself.

PMSL at Soupy parping herself
really am wetting myself at thay typo.

that's what i'm saying soupy - all for gentle teasing nothing wrong with that - but if there's a view that it could be misinterpreted then perhaps a smiley/cheeky grin would help make light of it all? - i'm not refering to cod's comments here on this thread.

lol - parp urself!

Ok, the Cod/J&BM thread I think really depends on the view you're looking from... I vividly remember being a month overdue with DD (by my dates, still in scan dates), and I would have been hysterical and irate with the comments, but today, not being overdue, they don't bother me and I just see it as being Cod iyswim???

But the big booming voice as I clicked the anti watch button would be good

There's nowt more sensitive than mums and mums-to-be, especially in the wake of a harvest moon!

How about just using the preview button a bit more often?

I never preview! what's the point - might as well say waht you really think!

funnily enough me neither

me neither, and I hardly ever use smileys.

I hand out little kisses all the time

xxxxxxxxx

like that.

I've only previewed when I've hit the wrong button

Cause sometimes you post and then realise you've made loads of typos for instance!
Or you think "shit! why did I say that!" and you realise upon re-reading that rather than make a useful and intelligent point, you've just gone and dug yourself in a big deep hole.

I hardly ever preview - only a post with a lot of links in.

I just read back what I've written in the post.

And then press post. If I previewed everything...I'd halve my post total though

i like to hug

"hug" my *ss

Who'd want hugs from someone looking like this ?

I love the hair!

Even if I re-read mine, I still end up digging HUGE holes for myself

Its a gift really....
