You are digging a deeper and deeper hole MNHQ

[Greensleeves]

haha tantrums that reminds me of my sister, she went through a phase of "baking" when she was about 12

she was so earnest about it we had to eat everything she baked, even the one that was so hard my stepfather had to run it under the tap and use a chisel to get it out of the tin

my mother used to sing "Rock of ages, cleft for me, XXX's made a cake for tea"

[Greensleeves]

I want egg fried rice! I could murder egg fried rice

[D0oinMeCleanin]

I get free egg fried rice from work and now we can't even eat it

[Pagwatch]

When ds2 first had too gluten and dairy free the boys used to look forlornly at my baked treats as if I were punishing them for something they didn't remember doing.

Ah Greenie. They always return to the scene of the crime

[THERhubarb]

I'm doing egg fried rice for tea with sticky spare ribs.

I might do a thread on it later. About how dh stuck his head into the pan full of egg fried rice then ran around after the kids saying that maggots were eating his head.

Lots of people will be offended on behalf of the rice.

I shall then tell them all to fuck off.

Many more will cry bullying and flounce.

MNHQ will come on to try and calm things down but they will only make things worse.

Posters will take to the streets.

Outlets selling egg fried rice will be targeted and looted.

The police will have their cars set on fire.

More posters will march to London to demonstrate (whilst handing out biscuits)

MNHQ will release a statement appealing for calm.

Zombies will then materialise and eat everyone.

And it will all be Greeny's fault.

[Stropzilla]

I thought cakegate was brilliant. Especially the geography teacher bit!

And I think we should be able to call people cunts.

[SummerRainIsADistantMemory]

Lordy, such a lot of fuss over a few imaginary buns.

I only come on mn for entertainment these days, so would be very disappointed to think fun is no longer allowed for fear of offending 0.00001% of the users

[Pinot]

Paggy do you do GF for DS2 because of SN or stomach issues? I've been reading up on GF being helpful for ADD/ADHD. Wondered if you had any thoughts? I'm already GF (Coeliac) but moving DS2 onto it for a trial period soon.

[Absy]

I long to be deleted. I'm so lame, just one deletion. And I've been killing threads all over the place today

[usualsuspect]

Cake gate reminded me of the old wind up threads on here, the pomander one was my favourite.

But there was a site invasion by a load of twats the night before so I thought the timing was a bit off.

[Pagwatch]

I started because he was eating about 5 foods and vomiting and screaming all the time.
Then we kept going because he slept (thank god) and became much calmer and stopped having stomach problems.
So both at the same time really.

[RandallPinkFloyd]

Soz about the burglarization Hully, that's crap.

I got burgled once, it was utterly shit.

A pox on the bastards.

[Pinot]

Thanks Pag

[Greensleeves]

pomander also one of mine

but seriously... it does look like we just can't do jokey troll threads any more. I didn't realised how much things had changed until yesterday's shitstorm

[Absy]

No more joke threads. No more fun. No more larks.

[usualsuspect]

Things have changed, more deletions and many more trolls.

MN is a lot bigger and some newer posters don't really 'get' the jokey threads now. Due to all the trolling.

I had a sneaky feeling you were behind that thread, Greeny

[Pagwatch]

It wasn't really a shitstorm though was it?

A couple of people said 'oh, not keen on jokey trolling' and one reason got in a right tiss. Most people were perfectly happy.
Mnhq were fine.

It's business as isn't it?

I am not keen on them but I would rather the majority were happy. The site shoudn't shift for the small minority should it. I'd feel very fed up if they were stopped just because they are not my thing.

[Lynned]

Haven't read the whole thread ( looks crazy) But can't you let them have their cake and eat it? ( or has someone already said that?)

[Pagwatch]

person not reason

[TrampyPants]

Joke threads are v different to troll threads. Some people don't get that.

[TrampyPants]

Pag, exactly.

[Pagwatch]

Pinot,
I should add that it made a massive difference to DS2 in terms of how calm and happy he was, especially in the first few years. It was def worth doing for him even though it was hard I manage initially.

[KatieScarlett2833]

"Disingenuous" MNHQ?

That's just rude. A non confession of culpability)

(Team Millions on that issue)

[Pinot]

That's the thing, GF is a massive PITA. I hate it, but have to. DH is not keen on my trialling DS2 but I just have a feeling that he may have 'my' gut issues too. Sod it, I'm doing it. I needed something to stop me faffing and anecdotal evidence of calmness is enough for me. Lordy, that would be nice, IYKWIM. Thanks
