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.

I can't work out what I think about this as I sort of like everyone (because I can't remember who is who apart from one utter bastard who I mentally stab everytime I see their name on screen) but I do know that when I saw Katie Price dressed up as a porno horse I honestly thought that I would never again see anything quite so extraordinary in my lifetime

I have it on good authority that getorf is a stunner.

Oh and Kevin Bacon does it for me so make of that what you will. He can look at my everything everywhere whenever he wants.....

There is another debate to be had: is reporting posts and threads a good thing or a bad thing?

Am really quite drunk Hully. I shared two bottles of wine and had two vodkas and tonic, so am more shit faced than feisty.

Echoing Mcballs and Cestlesautres.

Thanks for this thread Porto. Needed saying.

But why not say it on the actual thread?

You had the balls to do it on-thread, lemonmuffin.

It's full!

And this thread is now more relevant

But that's what I don't get, cestlesautres. Why does anyone need 'the balls' to post on a thread? What do people think is going to happen if you post to disagree? You're behind a screen in your own home!

That was to BIWI btw.

Thanks Cestlesautres, didnt get too far unfortunately.

You don't have to limit yourself, you can be shit faced and feisty

I want to mention that I had three caipirinhahahahahas but I am concerned I might start the whole shit loop off again

The thread was full BIWI other wise I would have.

I can tell you that both Porto and Fenton are incredibly beautiful. They've both at some time sent me chocolate.

This makes them beautiful to me. my flab, not so much

To be fair, anyone posting in dissent on the original thread would have been told they were a humourless po who didn't get the joke.

.I think you are seeing me through Cadbury tinted glasses BH [bugrin]

It's a sort of general question, though, lemonmuffins (I know that thread is full, although there is a second one, still going ...)

I've seen people say it before, that they don't have the nerve to post on a thread. Why?

And even worse, when people start sending PMs to people. That's even worse. I really don't understand why people do that rather than post their own opinion publicly.

BIWI - you know that saying 'sticks and stones may break my bones' etc etc....

Not true. People get hurt by things that are said on here. That's why.

So what if people tell you that? You've still put forward your point of view.

Thread was full BIWI and the second one was sort of un-hitched from the first. And iirc it wasn't designed for just anyone to post on.

I'm getting worried about a hangover starting soon so I think I may have to pop round to the shops for another bottle.

I have a couple of mini bottles of fizz in the fridge which might keep it at bay for the moment.

What are caipirinhas?

I got PMs last night from people who felt bullied off threads. That is so sad. Why cannot we be supportive of one another?

PMs re bullied - yes, I got them last night as well. fwiw.

Oh yes, lemon, I really understand that, and I know what you mean. It isn't just words on a screen.

But nevertheless, if it's an issue that you feel really strongly about - as many do on this thread about The Other Thread - then why not say what you think? Argue your case.
