"Disingenuous" MNHQ?

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

(Team Millions on that issue)

Well, it certainly wasn't meant to be rude.

Disingenuous means "not candid". Which was exactly what I was culpable of being. And what I apologised for.

I quoted our Talk Guidelines about trolls, without disclosing that they had been very slightly tweaked last night.

[Hullygully]

Get yer ed in that oven, Helen

[FloatyBeatie]

I thought it was a splendidly generous apology. I wish I had the nerve to say sorry more. It sometimes feels a v scary thing to do, a bit like draping yourself with meat in a lion enclosure.

[KatieScarlett2833]

That's how it read to me. And probably to OP too. Disingenuous on here, as you know, has a rather iffy context.
However, thanks for the clarification .

Crikey. I have been away from MN for a bit and come back to see this.
I always miss the bunfights
For those who seem to be having problems with any changes
this might help

All this over the cake and lack of birds thread?!

I thought it was funny and wasn't offensive. Wish I had that sort of imagination

Slight diversion: how are you mary, I've not seen you for eons!

[Jux]

Can MNHQ reinstate threads? I would love to see King Tut back too.

I really enjoyed Greensleeves' thread, it was hilarious. DD is currently chortling her way through it instead of doing something useful 'cos I'm a shit mum.

I tend to feel that it's "Buyer beware" on the internet, even here, and always have a pciture in my mind's eye of Dave the Hairy Handed Trucker (who yesterday burnt cakes beneath a birdless sky).

By the way, aren't penguins birds?

[SirSugar]

Has Godwins law been used yet?

[TrampyPants]

Mary I've had it too, lasted a bloody fortnight! Hope you feel better soon, lovey.

[FlouncingMintyy]

Who are you Trampy? Can you drop me a pm?

[FlouncingMintyy]

And has that little thing gone which tells you how many times a thread has been liked on Facebook? I can't see it anywhere but can't imagine this isn't being discussed over there somewhere.

[BIWI]

Facebook thingy top right of thread. So far, no-one seems to have clicked it, which is amazing.

[FlouncingMintyy]

No, I am in a permanent state of flouncing. I might flounce at the drop of hat . Sorry you are poorly chuck.

[TrampyPants]

Biwi, at zero for me too.

[TrampyPants]

Mary, dh is just getting over it, he has been unbearable. I am shit with colds because of my ribs, but he was much iller than me and my dislodging ribcage...

[TrampyPants]

And have pmed you mintyy

[SandyMumsnet]

Sorry to hear about the coughs and colds no, wait

[MammaTJ]

Even if it makes us at MNHQ look like twits

This is one of the reasons I love MN!!

[Isabeller]

Rats, I was enjoying reading this thread till about page six and now I really want to eat some cake but I have sworn off sugar so I have to stop having fun and do some coughing (also have yukky cold but it is going away now thank goodness)
