MN allows racism to stand

[amillionyears]

I have reported it 3 times today, 1 before 9am.
Heard nothing from them.

You lot are as mad as a bucket of spiders!

One of my daughters is called Abbie, every time I say her name I am being racist according to the ethnic slurs link I won't mention DD2s nickname is Bananas for fear of being forever branded as a racist

There's a mumsnetter whose nn is NorthernMonkey. I met her at the weekend. Maybe she should be deleted for being racist!

LOL at 'feetie stumpy' - for a moment I wondered if this was an obscure ethnic slur before working it out

Mmelindor should change her name, so she doesn't offend lactose-intolerant posters.

utterly risible and attention seeking to be so professionally offended

MN is going through one of those reeaallly weird phases at the moment.

Is the phrase "a face like a bulldog pissing on nettles" racist against the British?

"Mad as a box of frogs" according to Urban Dictionary:

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mad%20as%20a%20box%20of%20frogs

Zombie is another one who thinks MNHQ are due an apology.

Ha ha ha!!! I was also as to why amillion told people to be careful on that thread

Ah, if you had just shared, we could have saved all this, bless.

I honestly think she genuinely thought it was racist and not a well known saying, such as mad as a hatter (which comes from when hat makers used chemicals and were permanently high by the way!)

What??? What ethnic slurs? Tell us what they were, cos I read that thread, and didn't see any.

I dont think I have much more to say on the matter.
If other people dont agree with me, so be it.
That is up to them to make their own minds up.

I now retract my fluffy statement above giving you the benefit of the doubt, you just couldn't let it lie (vic n bob do it much better)

Tufty is actually a poster girl for UKIP so you could be right about her to be fair.

Flounce?

Oh. My. God.

Mad as a bag of cut snakes.

here is an explanation of the saying. and first, how on earth can you know that other posters made the same long-winded spurious links, and secondly, how dare you name two posters (who both did the same? wow) as fucking racist. appalling.

you are a disgrace.

That's quite some accusation there. Is there really any need to accuse named posters of racism when you might have just got the wrong end of the stick?

FFS Million.
Wasn't it you on another thread that was considering suing MN for duty of care because a poster complained she was being bullied, after a bit of mild pisstaking.
I don't think MN is for you, seriously.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE OFFENDED THAN I AM NOW

Milton Keynes is is Buckinghamshire, not fucking Bedfordshire. Fucks sake.

Oh dear. IT IS NOT RACISM.

Mad as a box of frogs is just one of many animal-based sayings, i.e. mad as a March hare, mad as a sack of weasels etc etc.

You're really making yourself look very silly here. And stubborn. And quite frankly very rude to MNHQ.

Surely it couldn't be an attempt to get deleted to hide the shame of being mistaken? Surely?

We say mad as cheese. I think that should still be ok yes?

That said I'm welsh, so when the "herds of sheep" accusations start I get slick with the horn properly riled.
