If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

are we not allowed to namechange? I was going to go back to riven.

Does this help?

No matter what the reason, and however satisfying on the part of the poster.

We wouldn't let our children do it, we would suggest kicking out a husband who did it - and currently, we seem to carry on doing it ad nauseum, regardless of what damage it does. Thread after thread. Post after post.

Can we get it out of our systems now, before the end of the year?

Then shut the fuck up. Please?

custy I'll try and mail you from mybig pc soon as although I know you and some moldies/mners are not on best terms for whatever reasons, I had hoped to stay on good terms with you. Not least cos I visit your neck of the woods to see friends etc so had hoped to catch you again. Sober
Fwiw I was not posting on moldies at time of meet and had actually forgotten about it since joining due to various life shit. But I suspect that's by the by?

I didnt get a ban for name changing?

OTOH MN prob do know me by now.

I mean, it doesn't matter (to most people I hope?), but I think you can't pretend it isn't there. That is one thing that really IS like rl -- having to slightly feel your way with new people. It shouldn't be unexpected.

Sod this, I'm leaving this thread. Molides have their opinions, the rest of us have ours. I don't need to feel part of a special club, I just want to use MN for what it was intended for. Some people arn't worth worrying about and can dish it out but can't take it. And others have real lives, away from the internet, to focus on.

VVVQV what happened to Twig please?

Twig was nice to me on a DS1 thread; I always remember those people

Actually rhubarb - that's a fucking excellent post and it shouldnt be overlooked. At all.

And I'm very sorry for being a twat this morning because I was upset about poor twig.

So i'll do my best to be better.

ZIPPI!

Cliff/Rhubarb - maybe MN are on it? I have changed my name in the last few days(boring reasons) by putting "1" on the end. This was enough to cause a ban on posting until I explained myself.

It doesn't matter if posts get 'lost' - if you really like them , copy/paste for the audience on line a bit later.

XmasPud - I really really wouldn't get into a food fight with some of this lot

I totally agree with Rhubarb.

This thread is mindblowing. my politely read but ignored by all but one call for peace

I don't know, I have found the new name thing is real. I've been away for ages and only just come back. But when I've changed in the past for personal stuff then forgotten and posted something slightly more typical on a nonsense thread then yes, you do feel like a newbie trying to butt into a conversation, and if you are "strong" because you've forgotten that nobody knows you, and then it doesn't often go down so well.

I changed my name because I as ashamed of losing it the other day.

but popped it on my profuile so am not hiding just ditching negative connotations IYSWIM

There's a thread on AIBU right now from someone who has been called a troll and she is upset.

I change my name because I talk about my family, my in laws, my , and I don't actually want people knowing very personal things about me so it's best to name change. I wouldn't discuss these things with people in RL, to me, that is what MN is for. So I'll name change all I want, and I won't be revealing my history to you Northern. Maybe you should go and play elsewhere. Why should I? Simply because I have an opinion on feeling excluded and ignored.

(NOTE the thats a bit much on my post was to the comment on parentinga bility)

FWIW

mumofbaby yet you're are bitching and bullying?

I am going to try and make the meet up in 2009 also, it did clash this year so will have to see.

Cliff, I agree with you completely.

northern - doc eventually found us. reckons dd has a sinus infection which triggered the seizure. So we now have luridly coloured antibiotics. dd turned into laughing happy child as doc entered the room and resumed wan 'on deaths door' child when doc left

The Independent are clearly onto something.

I disagree MumofBaby. I have been around for years and years, post now and again for a while and then RL takes over for a bit. I regularly name change for personal RL reasons (no big secret or mystery, just require my privacy). While I agree that people do tend not to notice your posts as much when "new" or "newly changed name", I have never ever been called a troll. Not once. I do not go out of my way to avoid or cause confrontation and do not "suck up", just am myself.
While unknown people may find their posts are not commented upon as quickly as well known posters, that is to be expected. It does not mean you have to "prove yourself" or "suck up".

I am tempted by the 2009 Christmas food fight meet up. Might be enough of a temptation to break cover and shyness just for once

oh right we didnt have size 0 either

or boys for that matter

well if you would like some parenting advice then can I give you a motherly word to the wise? Stop bitching and bullying yourself and go play somewhere else.

Perhaps I should have put my post in a different thread as it's clearly going to be overlooked on this one.
