Spoofs, Jokes and Trolls

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?

Balls, soz about that then Tee, as you were!

I definitely argued with someone about it though and the point is that the fact that I thought they were a twat at that moment doesn't mean I think they are a twat every moment. I've also illustrated perfectly (if accidentally) just how easily grudge bearing could go wrong!

What library? The library down the road? God I had no idea that libraries had kindles.

Trills I'd worry if you didn't give me shit about my beloved Kindle.

AIBU will be very quiet soon. After pretty much every word and phrase has been outlawed

I have a perfectly serious thread on the go in AIBU. it has not taken many posts for it to descend into feckless benefit scroungers. sigh. but there are also some lovely posters there. just a couple of loons.

RandallPinkFloyd · 28/03/2013 15:31

Ah, well soz for the spatting anyway! Clearly I have been multiple spatting Blush

LaQ that is so The PO! A daytime event spilling over into the evening? Mind blown.

Could be worse, they could have moved it from Sunday to Saturday because the weather was so lovely.

RandallPinkFloyd · 28/03/2013 15:41

Madame I've just found your thread. I'm about 2 minutes into it and seriously depressed. Please tell me it gets better, I don't think I have the will to see it to the end otherwise.

I saw the title of your thread madame.

That was enough. I guessed the rest. Looks like I guessed correctly.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 28/03/2013 15:46

Surely PO children don't bicker or hit do they?

Is that allowed?

You know what Randall? I think that was me. Vague memories are surfacing about driving and snow and...something...

RandallPinkFloyd · 28/03/2013 15:50

Oh god, that's every Sunday of my childhood.

RandallPinkFloyd · 28/03/2013 15:55

It's ok Tee, clearly we both care deeply about hypothetical weather.
