Spoofs, Jokes and Trolls

[Hullygully]

Right.

I want a serious debate about this.

I started a joke thread, in my own name as usual, about a neighbour stealing a spoon.

It was questioned as "trolling" and I got told off by Rebecca at MNHQ.

Are spoofs and/or jokes no longer allowed?

Since when?

And why?

What do people think about spoofs, jokes and trolls and the difference theereof?

oh well you know what I mean!!!!!

That's mad, bread and jelly

Glad he's home safe and sound Tee.

Oh god Stork.

My mum used to make us eat that.

Stork sandwiches. It was delightful.

My Nain use to serve trifle with bread and butter for Saturday tea.

Even as a child I knew it was wrong.

Glad he is home tee

What a nightmare.

Right.

There just seems to be so much anger on this thread, and so far I haven't been able to work out why really

Could it just be a difference of opinion/different characters etc?

He's not quite home yet, but he's with his dad and they are past the trouble spot. But thanks.

Times like this I think about going back to the US. That country is fucked but at least this shit wouldn't be happening all the time.

Yes there is a lot of anger. but being worked out through the medium of text...you may prefer the medium of dance...or tea...or having a night off...whatever works I find. The anger is there. and needs to be addressed.

Have I mentioned how pleased I am that this is in Site Stuff? You know, since it is stuff about the site?

Christ tee I missed that. What a bloody nightmare of a thing to happen. I am glad that they are out of any trouble. But shit at having to live like that.

Maryz - just ignore the bollocks then and talk to people you like?

I quite like the idea of using the medium of dance.

The Anti PO dance. We could take it to Britains Got Talent and perform it in front of millions.

See now if I remember rightly Tee and I had a right barney the other day, at least I think it was Tee, not 100% sure. Think we even called each other names and everything. (I was buried under a foot and a half of snow, I may have been a little crabby)

I don't think she's a twat though, far from it. She's the reason I spent an entire month's food budget on my beautiful shiny new iPad for crying out loud!

Falling out is falling out, its what normal people do when they get wound up/are in a shit mood/have strong opposing opinions on something. Following someone around the boards just to tell them how much of a shit head they are, and refusing to find anything they say funny ever, that's when it gets weird.

You can't do that lemon

If there is the slightest hint that people like each other, it becomes even worse. Then it is nasty comments about regulars, mumsnet royalty, in jokes, ignoring people.

It ain't pretty.

Very glad he's safe Tee.

Did we, Randall? I have a vague memory of that as well but I have no idea what it was about. It was obviously of earth shaking importance, yeah?

It isn't fun GO. And we all thought it was over until this fucking flag vote. Talk about PO.

Oh and to really be sorry Randall you have to send me your iPad.

::nods head::

::reaches out hand::

Maryz they are trying to ban people from posting things at all, all I want them to do is do it in the correct place, and yet apparently I am the nasty thread police and they are fine!

I definitely agree about the whole fight-on-one-thread and have-a-great-time-on-another.

Tee only wants an iPad because she can't admit that Kindle Fires are shit... but if she just magically was given an iPad then she wouldn't have to use it any more :o
