RESPECT has to be earned you know. IMO soem of the 'oldies' are wander around demanding it, just because. Like they are chelea fucking pensioners or something.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 03/05/2007 11:08

OI! Leave the chelsea pensioners alone!!!!

ConnieDescending · 03/05/2007 11:08

I wasn't just talking about the antenatal threads - all manner of offence is being taken at all sorts of silly things all over the boards.

Have I missed something? I find the threads I am on have a great sense of hunour, those I dont find funny, if I want a laugh, I leave alone...

Can someeone fill me in on the gossip?

Connie you sound more serious than many on MN!

Boco · 03/05/2007 11:09

VVVQ like an ambush situation? You ambush pregnant woman when they leave the safety of their own threads? Reckon one of those v's stand for velociraptor!

DrNortherner · 03/05/2007 11:09

I'm not saying anything against chelsea pensioners. They deserve respect. That;s my point.

rowan1971 · 03/05/2007 11:09

Agree w/ Pavlov. Posts make me laugh all the time.

quadrophenia · 03/05/2007 11:09

DrNortherner · 03/05/2007 11:10

VeniVidiVickiQV · 03/05/2007 11:11

LOL, I was just teasing!

There is only one left now isnt there?

PavlovtheCat · 03/05/2007 11:11

Are we all having a serious conversation about not having any humour!

Pmsl - can I say that?

The sun is shining. lighten up

Boco · 03/05/2007 11:11

velociraptor -vitriol-venom Quiver-inducer?

Twiglett · 03/05/2007 11:11

that was uncalled for northener ..what's got into you?

I'd agree that respect for an individual has to be earned but basic respect for other people in society (ie the other users of this site) doesn't IMHO.

It really is about appreciating that this site is used by a wide range of people and whilst the ante-natal support of your own group is fabulous .. and the post-natal too if that's what you want .. its also nice to get out into the big murky depths and see if you enjoy conversing with other people at different stages of the parenting process.

Society has unwritten rules of behaviour

I think people are just trying to point out that a long-term thread title should have a minimum of thought given to the fact that it will be thrust continuously in other people's faces

PavlovtheCat · 03/05/2007 11:11

I cant do italics. I never can.

morningpaper · 03/05/2007 11:12

Excuse me but I have been away

Who is ConnieDescending? Please fill me in

VeniVidiVickiQV · 03/05/2007 11:12

You've missed the last V off Boco......

VeniVidiVickiQV · 03/05/2007 11:13

ConnieDescender was the biggest flouncer there never was.

Twiglett · 03/05/2007 11:13

think its hunker

PavlovtheCat · 03/05/2007 11:13

morningpaper - technically she should not be posting, as she was going to leave us all for more friendly sites. But she cannot leave, she loves mn too much!

quadrophenia · 03/05/2007 11:14

aha thanks Northerner

so its a bit like the moggeling lack of integration thing too then twig,

has anyone noticed that it is very quiet on the mogelling threads?

morningpaper · 03/05/2007 11:14

Is ConnieDescender an Olde Postere or a New Poster?

it isn't Cowmad is it?

Is it Justine being really bored?

piglit · 03/05/2007 11:15

I thought the mogglers had all left. Mind you most of them didn't come on any other threads so who knows?

Twiglett · 03/05/2007 11:16

dunno quad .. I honestly have no idea who's on ante-natal or not .. because I don't go on those threads .. not being pregnant and all

they may well be all over the boards for all I know .. hope they are tbh

quadrophenia · 03/05/2007 11:16

they have left I think, there is a msn site but I don't converse with them anymore, its too much effort to log in elsewhere
