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.

You have to see him in action Maryz. He is just so lovely. He's always hugging the owners and he loves the animals.

His ideal woman is Keira Knightley though. Sad

Noel could fit you a bionic shoulder. Smile

Chippednailvarnish · 14/04/2016 13:33

I was slightly perturbed by him on Saturday as he was talking about loving animals whilst waiting for his lamb to cook. What if he confuses my shoulder for a pork shoulder Confused

Chippednailvarnish · 14/04/2016 13:52

I mean Saturday kitchen BTW...

Sparklingbrook · 14/04/2016 17:15

Ooh I am just downloading Saturday Kitchen now. Smile I was giving it a miss because JM had left but i will have a watch of Noel.

I don't think he does bionic pigs. Grin

Chippednailvarnish · 14/04/2016 18:37

He loves animals, especially with gravy and spuds so do i Grin

BastardGoDarkly · 14/04/2016 22:17
