Feel the need to add and a gentle to amillionys post.

AlienRefluxovermypoppy · 13/11/2012 20:17

Ah amillion!! come on now, let's put this behind us, admit you got it wrong, and we'll say no more about it.

I'm just waiting for I AM CANADIAN Grin

Well fuck me sideways.

As if this thread wasn't bonkers enough before, I go away to do bedtime and it's all offended badgers and toad licking Confused

I am a lizard person.

AsMadAsABoxOfFrogs · 13/11/2012 20:22

I've name changed... I couldn't resist! Wink
Sorry... Will go back to my old name now. Smile
But not because it's racist, it's not racist, it's an expression for hopping mad... seriously OP, you're not changing your mind at all on this matter I can see, but to accuse posters of being racist is a serious thing. You are wrong. You are confused. Stop being stubborn.

Chubfuddler · 13/11/2012 20:23

You get deleted for mentioning lizard people too

amillionyears · 13/11/2012 20:23

I think I got it right, as Hully says.
I cannot apologise for something I think I am right on.
That would be silly and wrong.

Look up Badgeroncaffeine yourselves. Never heard of her.
My posts go back months, all there for people to read.

I am British. Very, as far as I know.
I dont think racism is right for any nation whatsoever on earth.

So when are you going to apologise to MNHQ for your ill-founded accusations of racism, OP?

Are my chickens racist?

I've seen them rip a frog apart

ScrambledSmegs · 13/11/2012 20:25

X-posted. You got it wrong. So very, VERY WRONG.

You're only making yourself look ignorant now.

AlienRefluxovermypoppy · 13/11/2012 20:25

WHAT FUCKING RACISM ?????

amillionyears · 13/11/2012 20:26

I didnt post the link. I wasnt going to. I said I was loathe to name the posters.

Another poster linked it.
The names were then visible.

Sorry to be late on the hallucinogenic toad conversation but if you ever find yourself in Lima and are offered the frog drink, just say no. I once met someone travelling who had partaken and he was VERY ill. But what the fuck he expected when he necked a blended cocktail with a live frog dropped into the blender is beyond me.

He spent 3 days throwing up from both ends, whilst i forced immodium down him, claiming he couldn't think what had set him off....then finally said, 'hmm, maybe it was the frog drink?' Shock

MooncupGoddess · 13/11/2012 20:27

"I dont think racism is right for any nation whatsoever on earth."

This doesn't actually mean anything. Do you know the difference between a race and a nation, OP?

Portofino · 13/11/2012 20:27

But - it has already been pointed out that mad as a box of frogs is not racist. If anything I would say it demeans the mentally ill.... as opposed to the french. I feel one is being a little silly here....

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 20:27

amillion, most posters dont look up the posting history of every poster though. that is why your ridiculous accusations are so wide of the mark. that and the fact that is an extremely common saying, with NO xenophobic (not racist) connotations at all. YOU have drawn an assumption, based on your own feelings about mn. why do you continue to post here?

scottishmummy · 13/11/2012 20:27

op do you have experience of really busy work dat,the ever full inbox
can you se as irked as you were mad as box if frogs didn't require immediate attn
given,it's not litigious,not racist,and not worth getting drawers in rankle.maybe you like the aggro?

amillionyears · 13/11/2012 20:27

We can agree to differ on whether we think those posters were being racist.

OP posts:
amillionyears · 13/11/2012 20:28

I like MN 90% of the time.

its still extraordinarily bad form to name and accuse posters of being racist on another thread

amillionyears · 13/11/2012 20:29

Actually I should have said, I like what MN does 90% of the time, or maybe 95%.
