Come on you Daily Mail supporters

My threads belong to me. Def!

petallus I am sooo sorry if the thread title offended your literary sensibilities! That was never my intention!

Thanks merlotgran

Alliteration

I thought it was burka. I just copied when...

The title of the thread does.

What's that word that means making an impact through the use of a string of words all beginning with the same letter of the alphabet?.

I thought it was burka not hijab but the objection to the phrase fucking burka/hijab in the title of the thread was that it could be interpreted as a pejorative comment about the piece of clothing (which wasn't the intention of the OP). Presumably, anyone who saw it in that light wouldn't want to read the thread – which turned into something pretty unreadable anyway.

Do threads belong to the OP? Discuss.

It was 'fucking burka' not hijab. I remember thinking that the OP should have said 'bloody burka' because it has more of a ring to it.

Why is it OK to say 'fucking hijab' in a post but not in a thread title?

A google search would surely reveal all anyway?

Bluebell won't mind if you get her thread deleted.

Email, that was.

Lovely, jingl!

When lots of words would stand out to anyone taking a glance - is that a reason to censure?

Is it too much to expect someone to read the whole thread in order to get the gist of things?

We're not supposed to discuss other threads - a deletable offence. I wonder if that applies to threads that no longer exist!

The one I got this morning I think was from Kat. Nice and friendly.

Hmm...

How do you manage to hold all this stuff in your brains for so long?

Amazing!

Riverwalk the two words were juxtaposed and yes, were part of a longer title, but would stand out to anyone taking a glance, and certainly would cause offence to some. GNHQ made the decision. I didn't report it myself, but watched the discussion develop into a car crash. I think we have to take some responsibility to write opinion in a way that allows debate to continue, but I can accept that not everyone has this view.

Or Charlotte.

You reading this Cari, Kat, and the dreaded Lara?

Don't mind me by the way.

The whole thread?!

The trouble with GNHQ is that there is no one person at the top any more. I think perhaps one of them decides something but then heads go together, virtually speaking, and a different conclusion is reached.

I find it quite fun, guessing who sent each particular email to me.

When there was no such phrase 'fucking hijab' - those two words were part of a longer title of a thread which was perfectly reasonable.

The OP was trying to say that there were more important things to be angry about than the wearing of a headscarf.

Changing the thread title was patronising in the extreme.
