A moan about a thread deletion

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.

As works best in 'asshat', which I got from my American friend.

Asshat is a great word.

Ooh, Sparks.

Pitch it to HQ, they might announce in round up.

Do we even get them anymore ? I haven't had one for yonks.

Why is her shoulder wearing a poncho?

That's fashion statement!

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 13/04/2016 19:09

The typing nips were an interesting concept

LilacSpunkMonkey · 13/04/2016 19:10

Ooh, ooh, I work in a school AND was doing Phonics with Y1 before Christmas!

We teach exactly what Maryz just said.

MrsVamos · 13/04/2016 19:10

I like asshat.

MrsAsshat.

Goodness, typing nipples? Er, does that mean Worra MNs topless?

My grandparents were Scots (one Glasgow, one Edinburgh) and between them they could probably make doll rhyme with goal.

BastardGoDarkly · 13/04/2016 19:15

It's 7.15 Maryz pronounced fairies get the bloody PJs on!

MrsVamos · 13/04/2016 19:16

Maryz

I didn't think I got Talk Round Up but Gmail handily file it in a different folder from the normal inbox so I found all the Round Ups from when I changed email address after Jeff last September all in one go about a month ago. Confused

paxillin · 13/04/2016 19:19

Steal a beer, eat some of their food and sit their in your PJs. No more than they did for so many years, Maryz. Can't wait for that phase in my life (not long now).

Good news my shoulder isn't fractured, just frozen. I'll be having injections into the joint next week and then just a few years to recover Sad

paxillin · 13/04/2016 19:20

There. Sit there in your PJs.

OP posts:
MrsVamos · 13/04/2016 19:21

I haven't had any, Sparks.

HQ don't love me no more. Sad

Chippednailvarnish · 13/04/2016 19:22

I really think each poster should have the number of name changes next to their name. So I would be;

Usualchippednailvarnish (3)

Sparklingbrook · 13/04/2016 19:24

Sad MrsV

I feel sorry for whoever has to do the RoundUp. Picking their way through all the cobblers to find something to put in it.

MrsVamos · 13/04/2016 19:24

True, Sparks.

paxillin · 13/04/2016 19:25

That is a fabulous idea, Chippednailvarnish. It would mean if somebody said "name changed for this" and they have a 4 next to their name, I'd think fair enough. If a 83, I'd think, weather beaten goady fucker, best not bite.

OP posts:
Chippednailvarnish · 13/04/2016 19:32

I'll be looking out for goadyfucker(69)

LineyReborn · 13/04/2016 19:36

Would that have to exclude seasonal name changes where we all try to be witty and win a crackerjack pencil?
