kept your outraged and offended fingers away from the complaint button, all this silly sweary name shenanigans would have been tomorrows chip-paper by now.........

As it is, there is now going to be ream after ream of this daft arguing about fuck-all

it could rival Moldie-Gate you know, and that is not a ^good6 thing

I know DreamsInBinary, with the thinly-veiled inference that the person behind the name "has no great intelligence" either

but it does seem like sometimes if you put your head above the parapet, some posters delight in aiming some kicks at it

nice, eh

I'm glad I made someone's day, anyway

AitchTwoToTangOh · 29/09/2009 23:18

oh yes, QS, sorry, i've just checked and it was PinkTulips who said that they were clever names.

QuintessentialShadow · 29/09/2009 23:19

yeah, what I actually said, was that those names were inspired. I guess it means the same.

QuintessentialShadow · 29/09/2009 23:20

NOT that Anyfucker would ever sound stupid and obtuse, she is possibly one of the most reasonable posters who makes the MOST of sense most of the time.

pedals horribly

AitchTwoToTangOh · 29/09/2009 23:20

oh god, anyfucker, don't be such a moaning minnie i didn't say anything about your intelligence, i said that your NAME isn't clever, in response to another post.

it's not clever, is it? nor is queenoffuckingeverything and certainly not cuntwhacker, you surely must agree? i mean, mine's not clever either, so if PT had told me it was i'd have corrected her.

QuintessentialShadow · 29/09/2009 23:21

Bed.

bye bye.

You are all so lovely. I farking love you all.

DreamsInBinary · 29/09/2009 23:23

If we're going to start listing all names that aren't clever, Aitch, we may be here a long time.

AitchTwoToTangOh · 29/09/2009 23:24

actually, i think i remember when the anyfucker name came about, it was something to do with 'i don't know any fucker', wasn't it, on one of those 'mners you love' threads or something? and you name changed to make that joke?

so that's funny. but not a year later.

AitchTwoToTangOh · 29/09/2009 23:26

my list is just names that aren't clever and contain the words fuck or cunt, given that it's the topic in hand, dreams. no point in making this something it isn't. like a debate about censorship, for example, when all mnhq did was remind people about an existing site guideline.

Tortington · 29/09/2009 23:26

i feel for AF and QOFE being kinda dragged into this argument.

was shocked to see AFs name and even more shocked that it wasn't challenged ( that i saw)
but she's practically an institution.

however must agree that i dont see a diff between cuntwhacker and anyfucker as user names.

much as i like the posts of AF - and i really really do.

what i am not saying is that af should change her name.

but it leaves me in a confused state regarding this argument. as i have already posted that there needs to be a 'line' to adhere to.

so i don't really know. I am wondering whether it's a case of nepotism or ...net-otism with my own thoughts regarding AF. IYSWIM and therefore wondering further about the argument.

AnyFucker · 29/09/2009 23:28

Aitch, you really need to pay attention to your posting style

Your high-handed approach gives out rather unsubtle messages, consciously or not, only you can answer that

If PT (or anyone else) expressed such a subjective opinion on any matter, I wouldn't "correct" them

And I do agree, my name was never meant to be clever i the first place, but I defend my right to use it on an open, adult forum

OP posts:
AitchTwoToTangOh · 29/09/2009 23:31

i'd agree with you were it not for the fact that anyfucker is the OP here, custy. and yes, i was a bit shocked that the name wasn't challenged as well. i've always thought 'yuck' and kinda skipped past the posts, tbh, but not 'yuck' enough to complain, iykwim? until cuntwhacker and then this OP, now i think they're all up for discussion.

Tortington · 29/09/2009 23:32

ut lots of names aren't clever - in fact most names aren't clever.

the most offensive IMO, even more so than cuntwhacker are those that put numbers somewhere in their name becuase the name was taken and they lack the imagination to think of another.

but what AF did was be noticed. oh was she instantly noticed! there are posters that have been here for years and years without that recognition.

AitchTwoToTangOh · 29/09/2009 23:33

lol anyfucker. you wouldn't be attempting to censor me would you?

i think you're taking offence at something i haven't written, tbh.

DreamsInBinary · 29/09/2009 23:33

Agreed Aitch, we should be sticking to the topic in hand. I fail to see how criticising AnyFucker's name for no longer amusing you sticks to that.

AnyFucker · 29/09/2009 23:35

custy, am I reading you right ?

but you see, the point is, its not ok to accept AnyFucker as a name (and you all have, for rather a long time ) but not others that are equally sweary

in a whole year and more, only one person has expressed concern about it, somehow it went under the radar

another current thread is about banning (tongue-in-cheek, hopefully ) those who use "mummy" or "mama" in their name, but then people started saying oh, but Mamazon, that is OK, and LucyMama, that is Ok too, because you like 'em (and whats not to like...)

double standards innit, oh, and hypocritical too

OP posts:
Tortington · 29/09/2009 23:37

i dunno AF what are you reading ?

if its good - then yes

if its bad - then - no you misunderstand me

i agree with your 'double standards' post

AnyFucker · 29/09/2009 23:37

no aitch, I am not attempting to censor you, I defend your right to be condescending to the death....

OP posts:
AitchTwoToTangOh · 29/09/2009 23:37

oh, and please note "i don't think that anyfucker is a clever name, is it, QS? it's just a bit sweary and stupid, surely? not that i'm complaining about it, for the record."

i'm not complaining about your name, never have. but i do think that far from being 'clever' or 'inspired', it's just stupid and sweary and i defend my right to say that on an adult forum etc etc etc.

Tortington · 29/09/2009 23:38

oh yes the mama thing or mumtotraceyandgary thing - Jesus

AitchTwoToTangOh · 29/09/2009 23:39

condescending = what people say when they don't have much of an argument. imo.

what is your argument pro-sweary names again, AF?

AnyFucker · 29/09/2009 23:40

on that we agree

I am the OP remember, I stick my head above the parapet, I invite discussion

although not sure I can hold out

I think I am going to go and climb into bed with QS

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 29/09/2009 23:43

x-post

my argument is that once we start censoring MN, then we won't have the same site

we will have NetMums

next step is fck and sht

and swathes of text blanked out to prevent sensibilities being offended

and everyones name will be a variation of susan125388542808

now much as I would love to continue the debate, you have rocked up too late aitch, I have a 5am start tomorrow

OP posts:
AitchTwoToTangOh · 29/09/2009 23:45

DIB, for the last time, because PT said that AF and QOFE were clever, that's why. in contrast to cuntwhacker.

i mean that's usually the let-off, isn't it? people do get away with things on here for being funny. and AF was funny in the beginning, it was a specific joke. but now it's just sweary.

so if MNHQ are going to ask CW to change, they're going to have to do the same to AF etc. they don't get a free pass cos they're 'clever', as has seemed to be the cry. (and like i say, i don't share the feeling that they are in any case. nor does AF, so i don't really get why you're so cross with me).

AnyFucker · 29/09/2009 23:45
