hasn't this gone far enough? these threads are being allowed to stand which considering the "policies" of the BNP and the views expressed by "activists" is appalling. yes, free speech is wonderful, but some of these threads can be seen as inciting racial hatred, there are many, many, disablist, homophobic, racist remarks made and implied and they always go the same way. the threads are started to cause a bunfight. the BNP will not get anymore supporters on here, so why be deliberately controversial?

mn is a self-moderated site. this is great and one of the reasons i use it. however, the mners are now moderating and saying that we have had enough. we have complained a LOT about this type of thing - please take note!

ThatVikRinA22 · 16/05/2010 15:48

daftpunk · 16/05/2010 15:50

Yeah...good idea....I'll leave this thread too.

I'll shake on a truce....

brightongirldownunder · 16/05/2010 15:51

I'm off to bed - DP I just think you should quit communication with some people, rather than attempt a joke. Too much water under the bridge...

i think half the problem on a forum is you just see a persons views - and not the person.

i work(ed) with some women in the NHS who are very very much like DP. i hated their view points and i challenged them - but the women themselves had some lovely qualities, and you cannot go around hating everyone whose viewpoint differs from your own.

on here - you dont see the person behind what they are saying. DP could be lovely, with some very dodgy opinions - but i think that could apply to very many people in RL.

daftpunk · 16/05/2010 15:56

You gonna shake with me..?

Quattrocento · 16/05/2010 15:58

The Lady OTGK

I've enjoyed your posts but I wonder if it is time to have some rapid mindless chat on this thread?

Just until it gets to (say) around 1000 posts?

Whaddya think?

TheSteelFairy2 · 16/05/2010 16:01

Fuck me I will join in with some mindless chat I can't believe this is all still going on, just feeding into this doughnut's need for attention.

noddyholder · 16/05/2010 16:02

I'll start with a chocolate eclair

Quattrocento · 16/05/2010 16:04

DD made a low-sugar apple crumble for lunch. With eating apples rather than cooking apples. Ended up sweeter than a normal crumble.

brightongirldownunder · 16/05/2010 16:04

If you want to talk doughnuts, I ate 4 krispy kremes today. They should be made illegal. The average size of a woman is about 6 in Sydney and now I'll wake up looking like a heffer...

ChickensNeedOpposableThumb · 16/05/2010 16:04

What should one wear for wafting in a genteel way around one's garden, occassionally stooping to water something? Hmmm?

TheSteelFairy2 · 16/05/2010 16:06

Anyone got any suggestions for veg that I can plant in pots? Only have a roof terrace, no garden.

Quattrocento · 16/05/2010 16:06

At work, there are 15 fake coffee machines on my floor. Yuck.

However there is a Starbucks in the basement ...

TheSteelFairy2 · 16/05/2010 16:07

I have never had a Krispy kreme, jam doughnuts on the other hand, well, I have been known to consume and entire pack of 5.

TheSteelFairy2 · 16/05/2010 16:07

Why packs of 5 anyway, why not 2 or 4, why 5?

noddyholder · 16/05/2010 16:07

Long white sheer tunic and bare brown feet with toenails like pink shells(will that do ya?)

Quattrocento · 16/05/2010 16:08

Ooh TSF - tomatoes. They'll be nice. You can try sweet potatoes too but tomatoes are a winner.

brightongirldownunder · 16/05/2010 16:08

Don't ever go near them..they just seem to disappear in your mouth! Oh how I miss Tesco's fresh jam doughnuts...
