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!

I haven't posted on any of the McCann threads (does this one count?) I haven't even read them except a bit of one. I am not even interested in what they say.

So yes I am boycotting all McCann threads.

I am also boycotting all "Mumsnet" threads.

And all moralising threads.

And I don't have anything to contribute to the ante and post natal threads.

So I am pretty much stuck for anything to talk about on Mumsnet at the moment.

I'm in.

I love you Blu by the way, don't think I've said it for about a week or so

Locates left nork eventually and joins pledge.

bristols · 21/05/2007 16:14

Nork squeezed and pledge recited.

belgo · 21/05/2007 16:14

I've been boycotting them since they started to get nasty. I've slipped once or twice and had a peek

LadyTophamHatt · 21/05/2007 16:16

I don't think I've posted on any of them.

and if I do read them it's generally with my mouth hitting the floor.

I just don't get the hysteria and obsession with it.....I'm not sure "they"(the posters on thsoe threads) are actually aware that they can do nothing to get her back apart from hope...which is what we all do.

Wotzsaname · 21/05/2007 16:17

DG - lol, same here, that's why I talk rubbish
and post links to silly pictures like this rubbish

LadyTophamHatt · 21/05/2007 16:17

and yes I do pledge....

WelshBoris · 21/05/2007 16:17

She knows how I feel about her dinosaur, the balls in her court now.

BonyM · 21/05/2007 16:19

I've not read any of them. Nor will I.

Twiglett · 21/05/2007 16:19

I'm in too.

Tamum · 21/05/2007 18:53

I'll try very very hard. I have already posted on one today before I saw this, and reported a post (something I very rarely do). But I will try now.

Troutpout · 21/05/2007 19:01

Have all along...have only posted to get threads removed
