"This is a wind up" was acceptable in the olden days.

But not now.

There's been a few threads recently where the OP was not about begging, emotional vampires, beyond the pale stuff and that ilk.

Just stuff, that if you were having a conversation with your mates, you'd express incredulity.

Why can't these comments be left to stand, rather than a reflex actoin of just zapping them?

Surely there's a difference between a "you've gotta be kiddin" and trill hunting?

Please, please take each comment/thread as a separate case, I really think there's a danger of spoiling the boards with this eagerness to eradicate any implucation of doubt.

Wossa 'delectable offence' then, Chaos? Eating all the cream cakes p'raps?

BlameItOnTheCuervo · 10/09/2012 14:28

I will give anyone cuervo if they can tell me what the buggery's been going on. I have been in bed all day, whimpering.

That thread moaning about the sudden realisation that schools kick out about three in the afternoon was actually very funny, although I didn't understand why someone who either doesn't work or writes freelance would find the issue quite so irksome. It was deleted for being a shameless blog plug though. I did read it, and boggled at the amount of swearing: it was like Roy Chubby Brown had decided to become a mummyblogger- most disconcerting.

No idea about those specific threads but share chaos' exasperation

I loved the "schools kick out at 3" thread! Soon to be followed by "buggering sun rises in the EAST" :o)

maryz, cuervo is a type of tequila! and I bet you half sang the word tequila! (and added the exclamation mark)

ChaosTrulyReigns · 10/09/2012 14:34

Yup, I suggested the OP of that one took up yoga.

I'm sure in the olden days that blog link would have been deleted, but the thread would have stood. Was quite an interesting thread really.

No hunting required :)

BlameItOnTheCuervo · 10/09/2012 14:37

bait for Trill hunting - ask in AIBU "AIBU to ask what you think of these shoes"

If it really was an AIBU then I wouldn't have complained.

If it was just "look at this" then it's not an AIBU, but you can always use Chat instead.
