I've just tried and I don't think I'm able to ☹️

I hope you are looking after yourself. I know you have been personally touched by this and, yet, remain dignified in the face of provocation by some posters. I have nothing but admiration and respect for you.

It may very well be against the tcs and cs and if MN wish tot ake action against me then I will take my medicine.

However, if it is done, MN will also know who else have done it of course.

Anyway, maybe time to stop bashing me - I admitted it and for what it is worth, I apologise.

It's not something that I would have considered either, especially not about something as important as this. It's almost funny, though, when you think about how much people argue about the credibility of sources... Except it's not. Because we're talking about the lives of innocent people being lost, threatened and changed forever in the context of likely war crimes and expressions of genocidal intent.

It's definitely against Mumsnet T&C - isn't it called sock-puppeting?

It doesn't make it any better. It's like saying "Look, they did it first!".

Probably not. I wonder how many other people might be doing the same to try to present themselves as having more people agree with them. It really does damage credibility.

Before the 'upgrade' it was apparently possible to post on a thread using 20 different names if you were that way inclined

After the 'upgrade' usernames would automatically default to the first name used on a thread unless it was changed manually by the poster

I find it quite amusing and sad at the same time. To be honest, I would never think of doing something like that. Then again, I don't like fooling people.

yes I did. But I am willing to bet I am not the first.

Apparently so. You can leap to your own defence, agree with yourself...

No it was my first time - just an experiment. I am embarrassed but I made an error and held my hands up.😆. I am still fairly new so not sure what else you can do. I did a google search and saw previous threads where Mumsnetters do say they change usernames - and on the same thread (I think) . Not sure though.

But I was able to do it - so if I could - everybody can.

Well done for taking it in good spirit, but I can feel the cringe from here 😆

Is this something you do a lot? I didn't even know you could change names 😳

What else are we allowed to do?

Mumsnet software doesn't permit that since the 'upgrade' about 2 years ago

😱 this is a thing?

Well I am the same person technically so I did defend myself.

I also wonder how many people change username in the same thread but not accusing anybody of it, you understand.

Certainly feels like that sometimes

@Scirocco exactly. You kind of lose all your credibility in posting really.

I wonder how many discussions on here are actually the same person just changing user name and talking to themselves.

@keenforhelp
"I would be very happy if certain posters disengage with me - including you as I don't like posts where somebody comes to another person's rescue or supports them in this context.

I stand up for myself and would not let anybody do it for me."

So why did you feel the need to name change and defend yourself?

Double standards/hypocrisy/call it what you like.

I accused someone of detailing yesterday if it makes you feel any less special.

Yes it is interesting but what I said stands. I was accused of derailment when no others were.

Interesting how it's considered worthy of criticism when some posters say things in support or defence of others, but then it seems to be acceptable to use alternate account names to give the impression of having the same kind of support.
