what should they do (innocent Question)?
Whatever KM may have done, there are 7 kids who can call her mum and probably several of them (or more) love her to bits. All this endless mean speculation online - not just on MN, of course -- will just add to the hurt they've suffered.

2shoes · 10/04/2008 11:36

just have one thread where people can post and delete all others. thread has no posting limit just keeps the bitching posts on one thread.

JeremyVile · 10/04/2008 11:39

Yup, I agree.

fiodyl · 10/04/2008 11:50

well if u dont wanna c it dont go on them threads

hercules1 · 10/04/2008 11:52

I agree.

Carmenere · 10/04/2008 11:52

Well I don't wanna C textspk either but I have no way of knowing whether you are posting on a thread before I open it

BetteNoir · 10/04/2008 11:52

Good idea, 2shoes.

Mamazon · 10/04/2008 11:53

fiodyl - i think what 2shoes means is that it would be a lot easier to ignore if it were contained to the one thread.

hercules1 · 10/04/2008 11:54

Having all the speculation and nastiness in one thread is so much neater and far easier to avoid.

hercules1 · 10/04/2008 11:54

Maybe we need a topic area too for slagging off celebrities so that can be hidden too.

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 10/04/2008 11:55

another grand idea from 2shoes

tis a good idea to have them all contained in the one thread

(or if you prefer: gud idea 4 vem all 2 B 2geva)

Mamazon · 10/04/2008 11:56

and yes Carmenere - indeed.

I do find i judge people (wrongly perhaps) who use text speak, and im afraid it is rarely positively

ranting · 10/04/2008 11:56

Oh please do mnhq, my day would be considerably lightened by a lack of pitchforks

doggiesayswoof · 10/04/2008 11:56

Totally agree 2shoes.

Then I would only have to hide one thread.

hercules1 · 10/04/2008 11:57

Are there a lot of text speakers on those threads? That's surely reason enough to limit it to one thread.

pooka · 10/04/2008 11:58

gr8 idea.

policywonk · 10/04/2008 11:59

Also, MNHQ - have you taken advice on the contempt of court issue?

ranting · 10/04/2008 12:03

PW, enlighten those of us who don't venture onto those threads, please.

policywonk · 10/04/2008 12:06

Well, quite a few posts are basically saying 'SM is evil scum wot hid her child in a bed to make money, innit'. With no Ian Hislop-style use of 'alledgedly' afterwards. I'm no lawyer, but someone yesterday was suggesting that this might be contempt of court now that SM has been charged.

ranting · 10/04/2008 12:08

Ah thank you, you've reminded me now why I avoid pitchforks at all costs.

stuffitllama · 10/04/2008 12:08

MM?

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 10/04/2008 12:08

Madeleine McCann - MM

ranting · 10/04/2008 12:09

Madeline Mccann.

stuffitllama · 10/04/2008 12:10

oh right ta

policywonk · 10/04/2008 12:10

Actually the thread I'm on has gone a bit quiet now

I have bored them into submission
