Bibbity's thread.....

about a thread about toxic families seems to have gone this morning.

Was it pulled? Did something dastardly happen last night that I missed, or did it just quietly slip away? What I don't understand is why that one is gone, but tuther one is still there.

Anyone?

TSC

" being immersed and making her way to the surface of the water"

Or an unsuccessful drowning.

(but I am still pissed off about the thread being deleted. Don't want to seem mollified. Wank)

I was reading that thread and thought it was excellent - BBH didn't hijack the original thread, people were mostly PARD and it was sensible. And it wasn't a real thread about a thread. It was more general musings about attitudes and behaviours which can only be a good thing.

re baby signing - my DD is due very soon and has shown great interest in this along with playing lots of Brahms and Chopin. I smile and nod because I clearly know fuck all.

I wish they would delete posts rather than whole threads.

Pagwatch · 01/10/2011 11:11

I was finding some of the posts really helpful.
There are attitudes displayed all over mn that baffle me. Having their antecedents explained in a calm way helps my response for the future. I am sure I am not the only one.

Totally threw the baby out with the bathwater by deleting all of it.

Anyway, on the upside, I for one have waited years to find out why Pag didn't speak to her in-laws (but was too scared to ask, so thanks Hully Grin) and now I can tap my nose self importantly if anyone asks, and take that information to my grave, because it has been wiped from the annuls of history.

Well I am furious about that! Was out last night having a jolly nice time in real life so didn't see what happened but dear God, how fucking predictable Angry.

I deliberately put thread about thread in the title so no one could throw that as an accusation at me, and I started it very soon after the other thread about toxic families, long before it became unpleasant on there, because I wanted to discuss how appropriate it is for strangers on the internet to diagnose anyone's issues when so much appears to be at stake. I wanted to talk around the subject and I didn't want to hijack that op's thread, so I started another. If it really was deleted because it was a thread about a thread then that is just BOLLOCKS. Also, no email from mnhq to explain why it was taken down. Pah.

Hullygully · 01/10/2011 13:58

I saw the message saying it was going as it was a thread about a thread, but not what happened after that.

It was a good PARD. Maybe start one on the same topic with no specific thread refs?

bibbitybobbityhat · 01/10/2011 14:05

Someone must have reported it, it was sitting quietly in active convos for at least a couple of days.

garlicslutty · 01/10/2011 15:24

I found it really useful. (Bibbity's thread, not baby-sinking lessons.) The diagnosing/bullying/abuse/toxicity/respect argument comes up so often here and it's inappopriate to discuss the issue on a individual's own thread - though I'm guilty of that. It was a good, mostly PARD, exchange of ideas.

MNHQ did say it was deleted because thread about a thread.

What is PARD please?

stripeybump · 01/10/2011 15:32

Aha is it polite and reasonable discussion?

bruffin · 01/10/2011 15:33

There was a note from Mn
I got the impression it was deleted because there was too much discussion about the on the other thread , rather than just a thread about another thread iyswim

garlicslutty · 01/10/2011 15:36

It is indeed! It's the new MN benchmark Grin ® The HullPag Wise Women Corporation ?, iirc.

Hullygully · 01/10/2011 15:36

polite and reasonable discourse.

Stop talking about it! stop stop stop.

Is anyone watching Made in Chelsea?

garlicslutty · 01/10/2011 15:38

An inappropriate application of a reasonable rule, imo - which, funnily enough, is what the thread was about.

Oh, hang on ... Isn't this a thread about a thread? Shock

bruffin · 01/10/2011 15:46

Damn phone
Should say too much discussion about OP on other thread

Hullygully · 01/10/2011 15:49

well yes, there was a bit really.

but it was very interesting

garlicslutty · 01/10/2011 16:09

I felt it would have been more disrespectful to keep referring to "The OP of the other thread" than her actual posting name. Perhaps I was wrong.
