So I come back to find that you have deleted my thread asking why my Santa thread was deleted.

Of course it was a thread about a thread, it was asking a question about the thread.

Wtf else is one supposed to do?

I put it in site stuff.

It was also a really nice friendly thread full of poetry and laughs. Why why why why was it deleted? What the hell is going on there?

Secondly, if one wants to talk about something, and that something has been deleted purely owing to others mischief, does that mean that one is never to talk about that subject again??

How mad is that?

Polite and reasonable discourse - as coined by paggy. Haven't seen her around much lately :(

PARD would be good - I don't really enjoy what you lot call 'banter'. But hey ho - I feel like I'm intruding on this thread now, so tara.

Pag gets credited with all sorts.

Hello

Just to clarify: the second thread was mostly deleted because we thought it was deliberately inflammatory - in the the sense that if you can clearly see (as the deletion message showed) that a thread was deleted for descending into a bunfight, it seems to us deliberately inflammatory to start a new thread asking why it was deleted Confused

Sorry for not making this clear earlier. RebeccaMumsnet wasn't on duty today - and indeed isn't on duty tonight either.

For what it's worth, however cross you are with our decisions, we think it's utterly out of order to cast pretty nasty aspersions on the professional competence of named members of MNHQ who gave up their Friday evening to attend a Mumsnet meet-up. We don't generally delete attacks on members of MNHQs, but some of the stuff that's been said here is incredibly unpleasant.

Two things I like about T S Eliot: 1. I always read his poems as acknowledging doubt, and the existence of a great deal of doubt as part and parcel of the modern experience of religious belief. I just warm a bit to that: it seems vulnerable and cherishable.

  1. He wrote somewhere about supporting the idea of "set-aside time", a kind of spiritual/thoughtful "holiday", where you have a designated time where you contemplate non-utilitarian matters. I find that quite an amazing thought. Potentially both infuriating and astonishing.

Blimey Artex, just blimey. Grin

SconeForAStroll · 05/12/2013 22:38

Is this banter? Shirley not.

How can simply chatting be deemed excluding and spoken about pejoratively?

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 22:40

Is this one shutting down soon too?

thecatfromjapan · 05/12/2013 22:40

@ Artex.

I know it's very, very wrong ... so wrong that I know I mustn't do it ... but can't stop ...

but it is so nice to see so many of you on this thread.

Happy Christmas, lovely ladies.

(And that includes you, RowanMumsnet).

"who gave up their Friday evening to attend a Mumsnet meet-up"

  • in order to patronise mn-ers by attending an event that they took no pleasure in for its own sake, finding the clientele utterly beneath them, in fact pitying them for regarding the event as leisure
