MNHQ, a word in your shell-like please - about these pro-BNP threads... consider this a petition

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!

I think you'll find Gene is mine, TLOTGK.

PuzzleRocks · 16/05/2010 18:14

It was fair enough I guess. I was pregnant and getting a wee bit obsessive about it.

BecauseImWorthIt · 16/05/2010 18:14

It is quite a passive aggressive way to hound someone off a thread make your point, I suppose!

PuzzleRocks · 16/05/2010 18:18

Oh no BIWI, I wasn't bumping like this. I was honestly trying to bump to help.
But I was bumping pretty much all of the unanswered threads at one point. I think it was a bit of my old OCD rearing it's head.

BecauseImWorthIt · 16/05/2010 18:21

Oh I see! I really can't understand why MNHQ would ask you to desist then!

(And sorry, but PMSL at you 'tidying up' MN!)

PuzzleRocks · 16/05/2010 18:29

Yep.
I'm wierd about email too. I delete everything. It has enraged more than one employer in the past.

Good thing i'm now self-employed.

And I hate clutter. DH, after a brief "man-look" for something will often ask if I "have been throwing stuff away" again.

PuzzleRocks · 16/05/2010 18:30

Apart from that i'm really quite rational.

BecauseImWorthIt · 16/05/2010 18:35

I had a clearing out e-mail session on Friday that you would have enjoyed then!

I had over 2000 e-mails in my in-box, and went through and filed them all.

There was quite a lot of junk, but rather than just right click and send them to junk/spam, I opened each one and looked for the 'unsubscribe' button - amazing how many sites I have supposedly subscribed to!

It took me over 4 hours to do it, but was hugely cathartic and oddly satisfying.

TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle · 16/05/2010 18:35

puzzle, will you come and live here with me please?
