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?

I want choc and I want southern comfort and I want people to stop being cuntwankers and reporting threads left right and centre.

The good thing out of all that is that the choc will be coming soon Grin along with the cuddly gorilla HmmGrin

I can't change it tho. All the MN friends I have in RL call me Gin. I got introduced to someone's Mum as Gin recently, and it will be my place name thingy at an upcoming wedding. I am 'Aunty Gin' to a variety of slightly feral offspring.

So I is gin innit.

I just want some of BOEUFs vodka.

ginhag · 27/03/2013 19:47

I am drinking beer

I wonder if I could find a cocktail umbrella to stick in it so I could be all exotic.

IamtheZombie · 27/03/2013 19:48

Someone upthread (or maybe it was on Maryz's AIBU thread) suggested that the PO, or at least some of them, are going through a shit time in RL and take it out on here.

Zombie has been having the shittiest of shitty times for the last 20 months and they show no sign of ending anytime soon. But, she has never felt that meant that she is entitled to piss on someone else's party. Quite the contrary. So many times on dark days and even darker nights it's been the larking on MN that has helped her more than almost anything else.

She agrees that it is becoming more difficult to find or to have much fun here anymore and that saddens her.

That's actually really sweet, Aunty Gin.

Zombie yup, i've been really snippy at times had to believe i know Wink but once someone's pulled me up on thread, i can retract my words and apologise

i think it's called being a grown up

would you like a small glass of port

magimedi · 27/03/2013 19:53

Having retired for an hour or two in order to down my red pink gins I am just so pleased to see that many of you are drinking gin Wine

AIBU to think that smilie should be changed to Gin rather than [ wine ] ?

Is not wine for weak dicks? Is not gin the drink of an adult?

(Am so overcome by MaryZ post that I might have to go & lie in a darkened room with DH mainlining feeding me gin)

usualsuspect · 27/03/2013 19:54

I don't much like Gin. Vodka is far superior.

magimedi · 27/03/2013 19:56

usual - vodka is for the weak, cos it has no taste.

GIN ROOLZ!

Hullygully · 27/03/2013 19:56

wine is the way the truth and the light

I just had a slice of chocolate pizza. My mother in law sent it to my husband for his birthday. She's currently my favourite mother type.

I have no booze. Sad

littlemissbunny · 27/03/2013 19:59

Is the thread still there and where might I find it?

Purely for research purposes you understand ;)

ginhag · 27/03/2013 20:00

I like all the boozes. Equal opportunities y'know.

I am reporting you all for DISCRIMINATION.
