You are digging a deeper and deeper hole MNHQ

Fuck you HoneyDragon

Shiney you are a whopper of an idiot with some sprinklings of fool in there for good measure

BIWI it goes without saying dear that you are, of course, an idiot.

@IWorshipSatin

I am confused - with the cake eating thread MNHQ realised (after the fact) that it was a regular on a wind-up, admitted they were taken in by it, but then went on to seemingly endorse it and did not delete it.

Yet the King Tut thread, which was just as amusing (moreso in my opinion) and a lot of people had invested time and energy in, was just deleted without reaching the conclusion that the cake thread was allowed to reach.

(Yes I'm still bitter about the King Tut Denouement being snatched away from me!)

So, genuine question, what's the difference?

There is a difference here, we think.

The 'KingTut' threads were started by a newbie - who said she'd be on MN for a year. Which rang alarm bells with us at MNHQ. There wasn't just one thread full of silliness but thread after thread, pulling more and more posters in. We have no idea what the OP's intention was but, taking into account her lack of posting history, her clear attempt to deceive, and the fact that we know some trolls do specialise in spinning out a seemingly innocuous story over many threads, we thought it was right to delete.

With Greensleeves' thread, we knew who she was and we thought she was just ranting about cakes. We did not 'endorse' her thread, knowing it was a windup. We only realised it was a joke about the same time everyone else did.

And we haven't deleted it because it was a one-off wind-up and it was pretty funny. Even if it makes us at MNHQ look like twits.

Bet I don't cocking well get deleted now.

MNHQ you are a bit of an idiot!

Delete me now. Please.

Heeeeeleeeeen - I called you all idiots. Are you not going to delete me? Oh go on, pretty please, you know you want to..........

You picked the wrong Mnetter to Fuck You, MNHQ will be agreeing wholeheartedly with you and let stand.

Pag was deleted for farting stale cake all over the thread and then eating it. It was deemed offensive to those who participate in this practice on a regular basis and also it was seen as a reference to abuse.

Poor Pag.

You know, you are all fighting about this fake cake thing. Meanwhile, I now have an actual cake catastrophe that is far more important. I made my husband take time out from work (he's been working from home due to the snow) to take me to the supermarket this morning, where he announced he was hungry, put a large lemon and walnut cake in the trolley and then when we packed the bags he made me leave it out of the bag so he could eat it when I went to the next shop.

I got into the car and said don't forget your cake, it's in the bottom of the trolley

I won't forget my cake, he said

We drive 5 minutes down the road and he says "where's my cake?"

[livid] [boggle] [baffled]

erm. It's probably in the bottom of the bloody trolley then. Isn't it?

But he wouldn't go back for it.

I may have spent the next hour going on and on and on and on about how, in my many years of shopping, I have NEVER left something either in the trolley or at the checkout.

I blame MN for this. I don't quite know yet how it is your fault, but it is and I will work it out and come back to you later.

@THERhubarb

Bet I don't cocking well get deleted now.

MNHQ you are a bit of an idiot!

Delete me now. Please.

Yes indeed we are. (And I bloody wrote an extended essay about Alfred the Sodding Great at uni.)

And no. Shan't.

Ah, you shit face cock master. (Wow, shit face cock master)
Listen, you donkey raping shit eater (Donkey raping shit eater)
(Baby's voice) Donkey raping shit eater
You'd fuck your uncle. (You'd fuck your uncle)

You're a cock-sucking, ass-licking uncle fucker.
You're an uncle fucker, yes it's true.
NOBODY fucks uncles quite like you.

Shut your fucking face, uncle fucker.
You're the one who fucked your uncle, uncle fucker.
You don't eat or sleep or mow the lawn, just fuck your uncle all day long.

• Farting and more laughter -

Traffic Cop: "What's going on here?"

"Ew, what garbage!"

Well, what do you expect there Canadian uncle fucker?
Uncle fucker. Uncle fucker. Uncle fucker.

Shut your fucking face, uncle fucker. (Uncle fucker.)
You're a boner-biting bastard uncle fucker.
You're an uncle fucker, I must say.
Well, you fucked your uncle yesterday!
Uncle fucker, that's U-N-C-L-E fuck you!
Uncle fucker ... ah ha ha Suck my balls!

can we have an idiots guide to mumsnet? for all the idiots?

Who said I'm always flouncing? How very dare you.

I feel bullied. I am not on the idiot list.

I didn't say you were always flouncing. Honest.

HelenMN - fair enough, thanks for the explanation

Hey guess what? I found a lemon and walnut cake in the bottom of my shopping trolley today.

I opened it, took a sniff, decided I didn't like it and smeared it all over a car that was parked in the parent and toddler section and which clearly only had a BOOSTER seat in there.

I then bought a sausage roll and fruit shoot to give to ds for lunch and backed out, hitting a disabled car on my way out but driving off before anyone saw me.

Good day all-in-all.

I think Loops has also been right to point out that when an op is already wound to twanging point, its probably not best to wind further in case something snaps.

I never really recovered from the General Election when Hully finally snapped and shot everyone.

loops don't flounce!

balls, wrong bloody thread

fecking phone

I'm about to eat some birthday cake. It was my birthday yesterday. I'm halfway to 70.

I'm glad to see you Mintyy, love - does this mean you are unflouncified?

Let's have a grudge topic! I used to be awesome at Grudges! Since the memory got a bit rubbish, I'm not as good, but I'm sure I could muster something

I also think I should do a flounce. I did a break no one noticed but it was a bit lame. I want to do something more, pizzazzy

Was that a wind-up Rhubarb?

Right thread.

Did I say Pinot was a bit of an idiot too? She is you know. She farts idiocy that one.
