Mumsnet mafia ??!!!

Am a really new poster to Mumsnet having just found out I am pregnant for the first time EDD June 1st, have been surfing the site and making a few posts but have been very surprised by the amount of vitriol in some of the posts on certain subjects, and am amazed about people outing other people and everyone seems to know everyone elses business - more than you might expect on a forum? How does that work?? Is there like a bunch of people who all live in the same road or something? Just wondering as on most forums I post on there are lots of people sharing views but it rarely gets that personal inn terms of people getting to know other people off line. Made me wonder if there is a Mumsnet mafia in place!! Makes me alightly concerned about posting my thoughts and feelings about the things that are happening to me and about how my privacy will be respected.

Well, a bit. Could do with losing a few pounds.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 10/10/2006 15:58

I answered a call when I read your post, WB, and sniggered at the customer at the other end

cocopopshater · 10/10/2006 15:16

and him too, of course, carlk.

cocopopshater · 10/10/2006 15:15

welcome to mn, charlyp, and best wishes for your pregnancy.

wb, I dont think you did anythign wrong. you only outed tamba under an anonymous internet name, not her real name.
she has behaved badly on and off mn. Rules are there for a reason, to stop innocent people getting hurt, not just to make the rest of us feel superior about not breaking them.

expatinscotland · 10/10/2006 14:09

You know how you browse around a newsagent, and you see all those car-crash magazines w/cover features like 'I'm not his nan, he's my man!' or 'My sister's betrayal' and you think, 'Who the hell are these people?'

Now you know.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 10/10/2006 14:06

aww bless you Fio
