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

[Blu]

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!

BIG BUMP

because I have an overwhelming desire to smack someone, or at the very least say something I might regret.

agree with op. and would appreciate my boss not spamming me as if i don't watch the news.

for me this is not so much about stifling discussions, but rather tempering them by providing a constant reminder of the level of discomfort felt by a large number of people about the nature of some of the posts and what many perceive as the obsessive need to pour over every detail.

Yes yes YES Spidermama

yes a bump for that thing morningpaper said just down there abit ...

bump

Bump!

This thread is as bad as all the others. Why not just boycott the threads quietly instead of ranting on about it?

we are not ranting, really we're not.

Very rantless, really.

There's yet another one started now

which other thread is starting?

this thread is importnat, as you cannot see posters , who aren't posting,,it is a way to object, without bumping the other threads and to conspicously show that we are not fuelling the fire...

There's one complaining about emails

oops just posted on that one..........am now re doing my oath.(this is cos i didn't have a mentor)

Well I certainly enjoyed the sun today. In fact I may have stayed out slightly too long as my shoulders are a bit pink.

How about you?

I got sunburn chatting to another mum at pre-school for 20 minutes - at 9.30am this morning

Have enjoyed being in my garden this evening. Its been lovely.

I was on the seafront. At a protest if you will. It was very jolly. We were chanting 'Independent Midwives Delivering Choice' as we weaved down from the West Pier then back along to the RCN HQ. So swept away was I with the energy of campaigning, I actually punched the air a couple of times.

I'm OK now though.

Hello what's all the nork clasping going on around here?

Ahh! Forsooth, SquireBoco, how are thou?

Touch of sunstroke then spidermama?

I shall be sure never again to venture out without my parasol and fan.

LOL! SuffrageSpidey

op - me

Lapin i got so involved with my whole crusader/knight tabard fantasy, that i didn't actually get round to doing any cleaning - and then my friends arrived for lunch - and i sadly felt a little bit resentful at having to stop talking nonsense to imaginary rabbits, and entertain actual warm blooded real people.

Then i worried that i'm spending too much time on mn and losing a grip on reality.

That's been my day.

ROFL . Did you buy those rubber gloves? They were GREAT!

(I'm VERY tempted to post a thread extolling their virtues as a way of "livening up the washing up" - like shootin' fish in a barrel )
