Why are you all so annoyed about the word hysterical being used to describe a woman? Even if she IS being hysterical!!? It's a perfectly good word.

Its a weird list

Cunt and wank badger are ok but you have to tread carefully around potato

Exactly the opposite in my house

LangCleg · 20/05/2018 22:36

Why are we potato-ing? I'm sure I read the whole thread but I've missed it. Is it Birds Eye-related potato-ing?

ErrolTheDragon · 20/05/2018 22:37

Of course, those of us who are dogs find the idea that being called a dog is offensive offensive.

I believe the policy is that if we think someone is a troll, we just report it (in the normal way or by posting on the Night watch thread if not mod hours). But sometimes it's less clear what's going on until there are posts cross referencing other threads which makes it clearer that the intent is goading.

Woof!Angry

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 20/05/2018 22:39

colin

Are you actually looking for threads that specifically mention dogs Grin

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 20/05/2018 22:41

lang

I don't remember the original post

So something to do with trolls liking potatoes

I might have that wrong

ErrolTheDragon · 20/05/2018 22:43

It was the cute meme goo.gl/images/Tb32uw with 'dog' replaced by 'potato'.

ErrolTheDragon · 20/05/2018 22:44

Sorry I don't know how to make it show the image rather than just a link.

thebewilderness · 20/05/2018 22:46

Imo you have lost all perspective. You're way off.

When what they say in response to a report has no relationship whatsoever to what they do on the thread I suggest there is duplicity being practiced.
Being told that I have lost all perspective by a jokester like you is precisely what I would expect. Hysterical even.

LangCleg · 20/05/2018 22:47

Well, I approve of potato-ing because it reminds me of Birds Eye-related potato-ing and that means I might get in a mention of fish fingers!

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 20/05/2018 22:49

lang

They used to do cod balls

I loved them

No idea why they stopped making them Grin

ErrolTheDragon · 20/05/2018 22:50

Is all this Bird's Eye Potato waffle lighthearted enough yet?

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 20/05/2018 22:50

Just found fish nuggets

And potato balls

ErrolTheDragon · 20/05/2018 22:58

I found the answer, rufus

'I think they are a casualty of overfishing. The cod they catch nowadays are much smaller than they used to be, so their balls aren't big enough to batter.'

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 20/05/2018 22:59

Oh i see...

Thats put me right off to be honest

Although have you seen the size of tuna!!!!

Leeeeetttttlllleee tin....massive fish Shock

LangCleg · 20/05/2018 23:06

They used to do cod balls.

I would love cod balls. Why don't they do cod balls any more? I love fish-related freezer food. I also love Birds Eye because they say potato to all the right people.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 20/05/2018 23:09

Try the nuggets lang

They look almost as good and then you can get potato balls

I havent checked but i assume they haven't got rid (deleted) those

I love battered fish fingers...just love em

Mn is weird today. And #iamthegodandmaster isn’t helping. Confused

Nogodsnomasters · 20/05/2018 23:37

For the last time, and I mean last time. I am not a troll. I am a genuine member of mumsnet, I am a woman and mother and I just have quite clearly different opinions from all who frequent this board and would not wish to refer to myself as a feminist if this is the general consensus. Would also like to add I did not report any potato related comments so ya'll can find someone else to blame for that madness.

Pratchet · 20/05/2018 23:40

How come you didn't asnwer the questions

Nogodsnomasters · 20/05/2018 23:44

I didn't see any questions? I last responded to questions from someone who's relative was locked away under the diagnosis of hysteria, that person didn't reply (unless I've missed it scrolling) since that all I skimmed was accusations about mnhq and potato talk.

OP posts:
ErrolTheDragon · 20/05/2018 23:49

Women who are genuine members of MN may still start threads which appear to be deliberately inflammatory.

I mean, what sort of responses did you think you'd get?Confused

LassWiADelicateAir · 20/05/2018 23:50

I assume the posts are being deleted as they were troll hunting.

The OP has a good posting history mainly on childcare related topics. She expressed an opinion some posters didn't agree with or like and the reaction was to call her a troll and/or that she is lying about being a woman.

I don't think MNHQ have deleted any of her posts so presumably they do not think she is a troll.
