TheFlyingSimurgh · 20/08/2015 22:46

I think that this forum quote gives you all the idea of the attitude you need.

'Swatting them is even more funny tho i wish we had some videos or audio of the bitches crying, kids in the background all that jazz'

HQ- Just to let you know; I got a thread message update email and Outlook are saying you failed their fraud detection checks.

PacificDogwood · 20/08/2015 22:51

Steph, yep, Jeffrey and Sergeant Tibbles Grin

Do I really need to point out the the Darling Offspring chose the names?

PurpleDaisies · 20/08/2015 22:51

Jeffrey is an excellent name for a guinea pig.

Pipbin · 20/08/2015 22:52

Oh, it's all gone a bit shit here.
I've had this before though, nothing to do with Jeff.

They'll keep going for a while. 'Fanaticism consists of redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.'

Pipbin · 20/08/2015 22:57

I love that they think we all sit around and talk about men, like we couldn't talk about anything that isn't them - like toilet brushes or changing bed linen.

TheFlyingSimurgh · 20/08/2015 22:59

Or guinea pigs. Don't forget the guinea pigs.

JeffreySadsacIsUnwell · 20/08/2015 23:08

I finally got the "we've been hacked" MN email Grin. 16:53 today... And to my new (created last night) MN email. Still not received anything via the email address which was associated with the MN account at the point that emails were supposedly sent out, so I assume that the MN server didn't get round to sending the emails till today, though bizarrely it's date-stamped 18th.

theredlion · 20/08/2015 23:08

I hope they aren't having a go at the guinea pig forum.

From the short view of that thread, it's just a couple of mra's. Most seem decent blokes. I had to stop at the sex aid returned post. The guy was very concerned for future users sexual health. I am grossed out and pleased I have an empty bladder from laughing.

Yeah right. The crap they post is often offensive to women banter, but AIBU is very serious because aibu to divorce my dh for snoring is obvs serious and to be taken purely at face value, even with a winky face in the OP.

They don't think women have a sense of humour. That's their failing.

Saying that, I've never seen that Encyclopedia Dramatica entry about MN before - that's probably a source a fair proportion of trolls over here. They actually believe it when they read that shite.

MNHQ have been very quiet recently. No updates/reassurances.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/08/2015 00:32

I hope at least some of them are having a nap Smile

ExasperatedAlmostAlways · 21/08/2015 00:36
