Because there are so many. And they are so unpleasant.

Pretty please...

I have never asked for anything before. Well once, but that was years ago.

And I was nearly voted queen of mumsnet.

That must count for something

And there are more today.

Mary yes I think the OPs DO think their point is so original and important that it warrants a thread all of it's own, hubris r us innit

[sarcastic face]

Pagwatch · 27/01/2012 15:45

I think it is both Mary.

I think it is sometimes stupidity and sometimes 'i am not fighting to have my voice heard, I need a thread that places my view front and centre'.

It is a special kind of attention seeking to start a thread to show everyone your oh-so-clever-but-not-the-least-bit-original opinion. The really special bit is that having tried to express this opinion on other threads and been ignored/disagreed with/made to look a fool with rational logic they feel that anyone would be interested.

Sad. Very sad.

Hello darling Paggy

I am sorry that the fuckwits are having their party on MN

sigh

KatieMiddleton · 27/01/2012 15:47

x-posted with everyone.

redlac · 27/01/2012 15:48

Just move them all to a special topic then I can hid the fucking thing. I despair of some attitude and I am now just click hid on any thread that contains benefits or cap in them

BoysAreLikeDogs · 27/01/2012 15:48

and I've been on three threads now, three!, where we've been having a larf talking about daftness and people come on and start arguing about the frigging benefits.

Then people go "off to a benefit thread you" and they get the bloody hump and ruin everything.

I cant report them its a free forum. But I could send them to a designated thread. People are running amock now thinking we all really want to hear there opinion. Well I don't, I want to talk about wank badgers and etheral Bodenites and Hully behind her back not fecking benefits!

Garrgh!

Sevenfold · 27/01/2012 15:51

obviously there are some very thick people on mn.
they can't read that there are loads of threads on the subject,
twats

FoofFighter · 27/01/2012 15:52

YY to maryz

That's why I posted on this thread as I came in to ask about it.

I think possibly your idea might be the way to go sadly!

ShirleyO · 27/01/2012 15:55

It's fucking AWFUL.

Hullygully · 27/01/2012 15:56

Report them.

They reported my two teeny weeny fight back threads.

Report them.

Since having my gun removed I have begun reporting posts on the grounds of fantasy, lies and intolerable twattery.

Nothing so far, I've just started. If we all report the twats en masse, they'll do something just to stop the ag

TheHumancatapult · 27/01/2012 15:58

mnhq

you let things stand as you reckon it can educate people but some people just dont want to be educated .
And when they get answers they dont like
they go and start another thread bashing again

TheHumancatapult · 27/01/2012 15:59

nothing I reported one where someone queried the fact that im probably not disabled and yet noth and that comes under peronsal attack

KatieMiddleton · 27/01/2012 16:00

I started a thread in Site Stuff in anticipation of the benefit bashing threads earlier this week. I wish I had been less apologetic and jokey because after this week I think I was right Sad

ShirleyO · 27/01/2012 16:00

What the fuck Human?

KatieMiddleton · 27/01/2012 16:00

When I report they say they'll look into it then nothing happens.
