Original poster

I am boycotting threads about the plight of the McCann family - anyone else?

I have the utmost sympathy for the Mccann family, and hope for a happy ending to thier trouble. Meanwhile I am not happy about many aspects of teh many threads, and hearby resolve to completely boycott them. By not clicking, not reading, nor responding (however horrible the views), and thus not adding to the circular and predicatable route they take, no matter what quality of ontervention is made.

Clasp your right hand over your left Nork and repeat the boycott pledge after me!

IdrisTheDragon · 21/05/2007 13:00

I have pledged.

Amapoleon · 21/05/2007 13:00

Me too. I was all for free speech in the early days and didn't want the threads deleted but they have turned into something ghoulish.

ledodgy · 21/05/2007 13:00

Me too. I've already been accused of being Enid which in itself is quite a compliment but I too am suspicious of some of the posters. Can I just hover my hand over my right nork though as they are hurting like hell atm.

berolina · 21/05/2007 13:00

me too
(can't put right hand over left nork as ds is currently partaking thereof, but am in all the same)

EnidTheInvisible · 21/05/2007 13:02

[grits teeth]

I know I should pledge...but I cannot bear to let people have free rein in slagging off mccanns/talking about dream theories/comign up with ridiculous scenarios

I'll have to think about ti

cathcart · 21/05/2007 13:02

EnidTheInvisible · 21/05/2007 13:02

ruty · 21/05/2007 13:03

LOL Enid.

Here.

Hello Fio How's your course going? I'm also abstaining from the thread you are currently getting bashed on.
People are getting their knickers in a bunch about things which don't concern them,with the bare minimum of information on here lately.
Bizarre.
