can we have a pitchforks and general witch burning topic please?

[SheherazadetheGoat]

so people have somewhere to be shrill

I like this idea and another fabulous name if I may say so

you certainly may!

Yes. How come every thread I have been on lately has turned into a weirdy fight type scenario? Is the moon in Aries or something?

It's all kicking orf left right and centerparcs.

Agree fab name

While we're at it, can AIBU be split into two:

• a simple 'yes' or 'no' button select option for those who would simply like the majority view; and
• a 'BMU' (beat me up) thread for those who are feeling masochistic?

just get rid of aibu it is thoroughly unpleasant

I find comments along the lines of - (and I quote a loose amalgam of examples) - 'ffs get a life, don't be stupid, why do you care about that...' particularly odious.

YY - I will bring popcorn

MrsS - I have long said AIBU should be chucked in the bin and replaced with a Ranting section and a section where people ACTUALLY want your opinions on their dilemma and promise not to spit out their dummy if you don't agree with them

Nobody ever listens to me.

We could have a 'Fight Club' section reserved for those with pent-up aggression - it would need special black eye / nose bleed emoticons of course....

Yes Hecate. It is one thing giving an opinion, but another to throw insults around. And sometimes the most innocuous threads can erupt into an all-out slanging match! Amazing.

at sparkle's emoticon ideas!

Yes. I've noticed it can go a bit funny. I saw a post about MANGOS turn into a massive bun fight. Who'd have thunk it?

I ignore fights.

I am a very good Ignorer of Fights.

Although I did make things worse during Mangogate by making silly jokes and stuff.

The mango thread was hilarious though.... these ones are not so funny.

We could turn Tech into the Witchsmeller Pursuivant

What was the concensus Hecate, was the Mango deemed palatable or not?

I think the mistake the poster made was to ask .... on MN .... what she could do with a couple of mangoes.

Let's face it, that was never going to end well.

I believe it was 3 mangoes....

Shall I start a thread entitled 'Help me deal with my glut of fruit'?

The Aubergine thread looked a bit scary to me

I liked posting pictures of willie shaped peppers on the aubergine thread! For cheering up purposes!

Although, really, a thread entitled 'Help me deal with my gut' would be more productive.

ahh, yes, you are right. It was 3.

What was op name? Something beginning with F? I've not seen her around for yonks.

I think she had a really ordinary name.... cannot remember for the life of me, sorry Hecate- like a rl name IYSWIM- Fiona or Florence maybe?
Nah- no idea now....
