Do you think it's acceptable to be told you are potentially responsible for someone's mental breakdown, why?

You have touched a nerve with me, in fact. Because my brother committed suicide and his wife (who had left him and fucked off with her boss) told us that if we'd been paying closer attention we would have realised something was wrong.

I have no issue with telling you that you touched a nerve with that one.

During your darkest hours I'll bet you didn't appreciate accusations. Shame you can't treat posters here, who have done nothing wrong to you or anyone, with the same respect.

Now, I'm not telling you this for sympathy or to shut you up. Just explaining that if you expect us to think of every possible background of every possible poster then you sure as shit need to do the same!

Anyway, Flossy a twat is a pregnant fish?! Who told you that?! Grin

Tbh Why we had moved on from Tapper you were the one who continued to discuss even when we said this thread was not about her.
Last reference to Tapper was around 21:19 last night. Then nearly 3 hours later after zero talk of Tapper she comes on and calls us twats.

Yet for you we are still to blame. We have expressed a genuine welcome and not personally attacked anyone or name called yet we are still to blame. I actually don't think there is anything we can do because in your mind we are at fault regardless.

FlossyMoo · 04/08/2014 09:45

I think it was some sort of childhood retort to being called a twat by horrid boys Confused

Flowers sorry about your mum Walt

Fairenuff · 04/08/2014 09:48

Just to clarify, I did read that post before it was hidden. It was a single word: "Twats"

That is all. No other comment, question, query or any kind of attempt to explain or engage. Just "Twats".

Waltermittythesequel · 04/08/2014 09:57

A 'thanks for calling me a pregnant fish' type think? I like it!

In my childhood, when sommeone called you a bitch you said ;

A bitch is a dog, a dog is beautiful so thanks for calling me beautiful.

We were bad asses!

FlossyMoo · 04/08/2014 09:57

I have typed the word twat to many times for a Monday morning Shock

Time to move on again Smile

Waltermittythesequel · 04/08/2014 09:58

Thanks Floss! :)

FlossyMoo · 04/08/2014 09:58

Yep we used that one too Walt such intelligent come backs Hmm Grin

ArsenicFaceCream · 04/08/2014 09:58

A bitch is a dog, a dog is beautiful so thanks for calling me beautiful.

I remember that Smile

Also, if posters have a problem with what they perceive to be attacks or insults, would you mind actually addressing your comments to the poster in particular.

I am coming under fire for a lot of 'general' supposed nastiness and yet I think I've been perfectly reasonable, polite and measured to everyone, despite being personally insulted myself.

Why (and anyone else who has a problem with my posts) could you please address me directly and tell me which posts and what I said. I don't think you can but am willing to be proved wrong.

If you don't have a problem with my posts, please stop lumping me in with your general grievances and address your posts directly to the posters you are complaining about.

Thank you.

ArsenicFaceCream · 04/08/2014 10:01

Ok I will try. Maybe when you have defended somebody who then even though there has been hours of other discussion and silly hats;.' proceeds to call people twats with no obvious or immediate reason it kind blows the 'poor poster she is the innocent one' out of the water. You then have to defend your actions so the easiest way is to blame those who were on the receiving end of the verbal attack. It is deflection in it's crudest form.

Hmm. Maybe. It's goadiness now anyway

Sorry about your brother Walt

HaHa Flossy I love it! Smile

You're going to run out early again aren't you Grin

Btw a twat is definitely not a pregnant fish because fish don't get pregnant, they lay eggs.

ArsenicFaceCream · 04/08/2014 10:06

Faire, why's complaints aren't actually anchored in reality, for the most part.

I am but I have some lovely friends who hat bomb for me Smile

See I didn't watch enough natural history shows when I was a kid how ill informed I was Shock

IorekByrnisonsArmour · 04/08/2014 10:48

Good Morning Smile

I have had 2 cups of tea and 1 coffee and I have no idea what the problem is. But I think Arses reality comment could be somewhat correct.

Walt my sympathies Flowers

Our family has been devastated by suicide more than once Sad and very recently too.

FlossyMoo · 04/08/2014 10:58

Good morning Iore Smile

I am so sorry for your loss Flowers.

I want a Costa but just cannot be arsed to go Blush

IorekByrnisonsArmour · 04/08/2014 11:07

Thank you Floss

I love Costa blueberry muffins

And their coffee

I won't be visiting until the DC are back in school

AmyMumsnet · 04/08/2014 11:47

Hi everyone,

Firstly, please stop discussing Costa muffins as it's making us hungry and Cake won't cut it.

Secondly, we've had a fair few reports about this thread. We'd really appreciate it if you could avoid discussing other posters or threads, as we'd hate to have to zap this one.

Thanks.

Fairenuff · 04/08/2014 11:53

Thanks Amy, we would love to stop discussing other posters or threads, if only they would reciprocate and stop bringing up other threads here! They have been asked, politely, several times not to do that so hopefully they will stop now.

If not, do you want us to report their posts to you so that you can take a look?

FlossyMoo · 04/08/2014 11:53

Hello Amy

Apologise for the Costa chat Grin

More than happy to stop discussing other posters. As you can see we have tried to say many times that we do not wish to discuss anyone in particular on this thread however some posters continue to force the issue. Maybe you could ask them personally as I believe some people will continue in the same vain so that you do delete this thread. Which I am sure you can see is unfair and not cricket.

Grin
Pagwatch · 04/08/2014 11:55

Sure Amy Smile

You will of course look at any comments in context won't you?
As the thread is mostly about hats it would be a bit unfair if a couple of posters trying to get the thread shut down were able to do so by continuously referring to a thread that others are not. Wouldn't it?

Waltermittythesequel · 04/08/2014 11:59

I'd love some costa porridge

Pagwatch · 04/08/2014 12:00

Pret a manger do great porridge .

NickiFury · 04/08/2014 12:03

The best porridge is in New York (I am fully aware how show offy that is but it's true!)

They serve it in massive bowls with raisins, maple syrup, brown sugar, fresh berries etc all on the side and you just chuck in what you want. It's a real THING. I love porridge.
