A moan about a thread deletion

[paxillin]

Sorry to be a bit over-invested in what was just random chat. Chippednailvarnish's thread was fun though. I know it started off as "why are there so many first time posters posting dodgy threads", which could be seen as policing who can or cannot start a thread. But if that was beyond the pale, it should have been zapped immediately. It developed into a fun thread. Quite a few of MNHQ posts, too. It was allowed to stand all evening and all morning and then went. Yes, there were a couple of minor arguments, one got dissolved last night, before and during some of HQ's posts.

There were so many people on there. The deleting of a jocular comment was already weird, the "victim" of that joke said she got the joke, no problem, it's funny. It wasn't grand politics. What was it then? The discussion over fuck to rhyme with duck or look? Or troll-doll, troll-foal? Even this morning peace broke out over a frozen shoulder after a short argument.

It really makes me feel censored. Not because it was so important, but because it was such trivial fun and got zapped.

Duck rhymes with fUck
Look rhymes with book
Doll rhymes with goal but I also pronounce dull the same.

Completely missing the point.

There was a Kanye thread and I missed it? I love Kanye threads. He's a rich seam crying out to be landmined.

Sparkusual was also conceived on that thread.

Talking of which I don't think I have seen usual yet today.

Ha, those of us who disagreed with the troll were bullies?

Love it.

How does one bully a blatant troll?

Doll rhymes with goal?

In which dimension?

I thought you were name changing to usualBrook?

No, no Scrambled, he'a a genius.

And we're all jealous bullies.

The irony is that we are still inundated with first time posters / name changers sprouting bollocks.

'Sprouting' bollocks

Ooh, we could all be usualNN.

usualMrsVamos

Like it.

usualSparklingBrook.

usualLilacSpunkMonkey

usualMaryz.

usualChippednailvarnish

usualScrambledSmegs

usualVertigoNun

Etc....

I think it works.

usualBrook could work

I only ever do an AS is I read an OP and think TBF.

He IS a genius, LSM.

I just didn't specify precisely what his skill-set is

usualSmegs

Hehe.

It's not that bonkers MrsVamos when you consider how many posters are called 'user12345' or whatever now because the app won't let newbies name change!

My name's long enough without sticking 'usual' at the beginning too.

Maryz called me an 'ass' or 'arse' (never did get to find out how it is pronounced). She broke the thread.

I could be 'TheUsualSpunk'.

People would think I was one of those 'behold, I am a MAN ' posters we keep getting.

Why is piss taking and chat a bad thing but being a regular bashing goady twat ok???
And come and learn Welsh a nice easy phonetic language ... Solves a myriad of problems

How can doll not rhyme with goal?! What do you weirdos think it rhymes with then?!?!

I might choose my favourite Mumsnetter every week and change my name to Sparkling(whatevertheirnameis).

Doll rhymes with moll/toll.

Dole rhymes with goal.

I know, Lilac.

Sorry, can't see myself calling you TheSpunk.

And we agreed goady fucker is pronounced Goddy Fookker. I'm not sure Kanye ^was" mentioned. But Chipped is not the Kanye poster. She's the one with the frozen shoulder wearing a poncho. Incidentally, you need long legs to wear ponchos, that was established, too.
