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!

ll - you are forgiven. This once.

But we have to stick to it for it to work. And for the sake of our sanity , dignity and the spirit of MN.

Taken the pledge already. Thoughts and prayers should be with the McCann family not having to read all this tripe and nonsense posted on other threads.

What is going on with MN at the moment?

When people start giving you funny looks, taylormama - or asking if they can have a go.

I made one mistake and ventured into the incorrectly titled 'I'm confused ect' thread yesterday. And boy was I sorry, I had sucessfully totally ignored ALL of the McCann threads up until then. It kind of upsets me that there are such nasty people on mn

nah, you're missing the point twinkie. acting in a united fashion is only possible if people actually know about it.

Standing up to be counted. Do I have to wear a ribbon at all or may I just clasp my nork etc?

I will take the pledge too.
I was drawn into feeding a troll the other day and today I read that awful 'I'm confused thread'. Posting on these threads does not achieve anything.
