what's this PO stuff all about? I have just read some really vile stuff on here....

[Portofino]

Women presumably who don't have a certain sense of humour, or don't agree with certain (long standing) posters being described as beige admin workers who nag their ugly husbands, who were friendless at school, wear cheap clothes, have no fun in their sad little joyless lives etc etc Literally paragraphs and paragraphs of nastiness.

This is some of the most vile and misogynistic stuff I have ever read on MN from other women. These kind of comments normally come from trolls and MRA invasions. Is this really what MN has become? Does everyone think that this sort of shit should stand? What happened to the fucking sisterhood?

I am astounded to be quite honest.

Babyheave, I can only admire your diligence with the cushions. We had tomatosoupmageddon earlier this week and I risked putting the sofa cushions in the washing machine for the first time ever.

The water was horrible. As DP put it, " twelve years of bum."

tsc

just so I understand, you don't think I am funny, you don't understand why other people might, and you think I could be seen as bullying and you feel the need to point it out in a caped crusader kind of way?

okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

I agree with that BIWI, I mean how did that report go 'MNHQ I don't believe this thread about spoons - can you take a look please?'

I mean wft ?

[bugrin]

Hahaha at being mentally associated with michael winner

The reason people may have reported Hully's spoon thread is because newbies and people not 'in' on the fact it was a spoof were being sucked in believing it was a real thread?

VB bloody well is a national treasure...will never understand the meanness about her.

But what harm could being sucked into a fake spoon thread possibly have done?

Michael Winner has passed. [sad He would have said 'Calm down dear it's only internet cobblers'.

Not YOU Porto, the word.

You I always associate with tht thread where chaos posted in zeroes

I did mean Victoria Beckham. She gets sneered at a lot. I assume most people are jealous, but cannot be sure. I know lots of posters imagined me to be Italian (looking) but as you know GetOeuf I sure am not.

I can see that people might have got sucked in (and I did see that people were sucked in at the time), but why report it? On what grounds? What would you have written in the little box to MNHQ about why you were reporting it?

But what harm could being sucked into a fake spoon thread possibly have done?

For some reason that makes me laugh.

Post Traumatic Spoon Disorder?

It may make people believe other threads aren't real when they are FENTON? I don't know, but if it was my first day on MN I would be a bit by it.

Saying that though Hully proved a massive point that people will get all worked up about the smallest of things on AIBU.

Would it be fawning of me to mention that GetOeuf is GAWJESS in RL?

I think the VB hatred is because she is so thin. I think she is great. Done well in life, seems to have a happy brood of kids and works hard. I admire her tbh. But she seems so disliked.

Also true, Sparkling.

I don't understand the potential harm of the spoof spoon thread either.
I read it, thought the OP was a bit ad and was about to close it when I realised who the OP was so continued to follow it as I knew it could be funny.
If I was a newbie, I would just have thought 'nutter' and moved on, where's the harm?

I am not a VB fan. However when mentioning this on a thread I was accused of being a seething mass of jealousy, and wanting her life/money/husband. I really don't.

I only tend to report the vampire emotion sucking trolls. I could not give s toss about spoons.

Porto that is a lovely thing to say but your are mad and wrong. You just expected me to look like one of the Wurzels from the 1970s so anything was an improvement on your mental image

Are you sure Sparklingbrook? I would do DB. And he is well rich. Maybe not the sharpest knife in the block but......

I like VB, she is so utterly determined and controlled. I like Michael Winner too, pore ol Geraldine has been left skint tho

I shouldn't think anyone did report the spoon thread. But only HQ can say.

Haha at thinking 'nutter' and moving on.

That pretty much describes my first six months of thread reading on mummste
