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!

now that thread did start off ok as it was normal people on it

then the flock descended and it has all gone pear shaped now

GameGirly · 14/06/2007 15:46

Glad you've seen the light, Olive.

oliveoil · 14/06/2007 15:48

I can't abide it, I had to run away

intelligent discussion yes, maudlin and frankly weird analysing no

anyway I go home soon

GameGirly · 14/06/2007 15:48

Yay! Me too!

oliveoil · 14/06/2007 15:50

I need to stop clicking on it

do they have an electric shock facility on here?

then I could avoid it or be zapped painfully

Twiglett · 14/06/2007 16:25

did nobody like my pledge then?

Twiglett · 14/06/2007 16:25

this one

--->

I pledge allegiance to the Blu of the United State of Parenthood and to the Diplomatic Nature for which it stands,
one Nation under the Internet,
indivisible, with pedantry and judgement for all.

GameGirly · 14/06/2007 16:27

It was a WONDERFUL pledge. How shall we punish you if you break your promise?

Twiglett · 14/06/2007 16:50

it was wasn't it

and yet somehow it got totally overlooked

good job I have no pride isn't it

Blu · 14/06/2007 16:55

I am very impressed with that pledge! I feel as if the Queen should be there with one trouser leg rolled up and a sword to tap on your shoulders.

God I love the idea of an electric shock facility. Which says a lot really, about my lack of self-control!

I would like to join this thread, if I may. Have previously been a stern advocate of free speech and open debate and wondered why on earth we should not debate these issues.

But this last thread suggesting it was all an elaborate hoax is just offensively nasty. Horrible.

So I am clasping my right hand over left nork and not engaging in any more debates on the subject.
