are we allowed to carry on discussing this?

Has anyone seen that there are no longer "millions of Jefferies" by the way? Shock

Hullygully · 10/11/2011 13:14

you what love?

Honeydragon · 10/11/2011 13:18

this thread is getting dangerously close to spawning a Mnet freedom fighters quiche

GrimmaTheNome · 10/11/2011 13:20

Buns is one things, quiche is another - that could get messy.

Hullygully · 10/11/2011 13:22

I'm surprised as well at the lack of gratitude. I did it for them, after all.

Afternoon, Pinot Smile

Justine

Thank you very much for informing us of your decision.

I think on the whole, maybe the whole debacle has done some good. I have already noticed posters who wouldn't usually say to another "oi, that's a bit out of order" or "that's a bit distasteful, I'm reporting your post" which I think can only be a good thing.

I'm not saying that the site should become full of 'snitchers' or people who are offended 'for the sake' of being offended (iyswim) but if it means that people put a little more thought into what they type before posting to consider how the op or others may feel, isn't that a good thing ?

As you mentioned in another thread, none of us really know what others have going on in their life, and what may seem silly or irrelevant to us, can be life-changing for others.

I know that because of my 'nod from HQ' Wink, I have hesitated before I posted in the past couple of days, because I don't genuinely want to offend or upset anyone. I came on here for a bit of light relief, and have been astounded at the support offered, over such a range of topics. I guess it doesn't hurt us to stop and think sometimes, "how would I feel if that were me ?"

I'm very disappointed in that decision Justine.

BecauseImWorthIt · 10/11/2011 13:33

I think Hully's PARD campaign is finally beginning to pay off! Which is not a bad thing at all.

ChippingInNeedsSleep · 10/11/2011 13:35

BeerTricksPotter - pretty crap isn't it. DBF gets banned for a very mild retort to someone deliberately stiring trouble, yet loads of posts remain calling her all kinds of things... Hmm

What DBF said in that post was mild, nothing to get your knickers in a knot over, others said far worse, but because it's DBF she gets banned.

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 10/11/2011 13:36

ToysRUs xmas ad, Hull Shock

It's disgusting. I am shocked, horrified, offended and all matter of other synonyms about it. I may start an AIBU fred!

MollyTheMole · 10/11/2011 13:38

its great to see that already the crowing and piss taking is going on elsewhere, might aswell have "dong dong the witch is dead" playing in the background to accompany the childish posts.

pathetic

MollyTheMole · 10/11/2011 13:40

dong dong? Ding dong I mean of course

GrimmaTheNome · 10/11/2011 13:40

Where elsewhere, Molly - I'd not noticed. (though maybe I don't really want to know...)

ChippingInNeedsSleep · 10/11/2011 13:43

If anyone can be bothered - I'd love a PM re the pulled thread Grin

BecauseImWorthIt · 10/11/2011 13:50

Others may have said far worse - and possibly they were warned about it at the time. DBF was on her last warning though. What is it about that that is so difficult to grasp?

And plenty of crowing and slagging off of MN and MNetters on The Other Forum.

TheRhubarb · 10/11/2011 13:52

chipping - you mean Hully's pulled thread? It wasn't about this topic but a lighthearted one on permanent statement suggestions on thread topics such as AIBU. I think MNHQ anticipated a bunfight so they pulled it.

Would someone care to PM me a link to The Other Forum please?

MildlyNarkyPuffin · 10/11/2011 13:53

Who's going to be next MN?

MollyTheMole · 10/11/2011 13:54

Grimma, some sarcastic comment in AIBU about imagining if a post was in the Doghouse instead of there, another one hiliariously Hmm parodying how someone might respond in the doghouse to a question about someones fish being unwell and believe it or not there is something in the doghouse promoting a freecycle ad for a dog free to a good home

GrimmaTheNome · 10/11/2011 13:56

Narky - the next one who persistently oversteps the mark I'd imagine, regardless of who they are.

I'm disappointed by DBF being banned at this point, but I think I'd rather move on than carry on gnawing at it.

MollyTheMole · 10/11/2011 13:56

BIWI - I havent seen the other forum

Can someone PM me a link?

GrimmaTheNome · 10/11/2011 14:00

er Molly ... I think the fish thing was me and the last thing it was meant to be was piss taking of anything except the misconception that the doghouse is a scary place. Maybe I got it wrong and it didn't come over how I meant Sad

If there's a freecycle ad in doghouse - is someone dealing with it appropriately?

TheRhubarb · 10/11/2011 14:00

I was here first!

MollyTheMole · 10/11/2011 14:05

Grimma, no it wasnt you, the one i mean was further up the thread, your post was lovely and just how the doghouse is/was/will be

MollyTheMole · 10/11/2011 14:06
