Hi MNHQ

Please could you keep a look out for Carpe's message to you about some concerns a group of us have due to contact we have had from potentially malicious sources away from MN but absolutely directly linked to a recent discussion on here relating to someone in the public eye.

We are concerned that particular MNers seem to have been targeted 'electronically' directly in relation to this discussion and wanted to make sure that MN in general is aware and is protected/ is able to protect others how also contributed to that discussion from being targeted in a similar way.

many thanks

GoingToBeFine

Just finished a blog post about what happened, and my subsequant

with extra added

....until I discovered that ... it's just what twitter does.

Tiwtter is mean and horrible. And complicated. And infested. I have been reliably informed. It does strange things and freaks out the Virgins

I knew I should have just stayed on MN.

If you do go there, tred carefully, stay awake security wise and check put any new followers properly, blocking and reporting if suspect. Become aqauinted with the flower/wheel thingie and learn how to fiddle with it. But not from me cos I had to be hand held throughout operstion clean up.

Personally I'd advice sticking to MN. That new social media.. is HARD ! and EKK!y

MNHQ please never to change anything here. Ever.

Can you give any more details of how you are being targeted so that the less tech savvy can be made more aware?
