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

yeah, stealthy, these two.

"Another , the 'Theinsider' said: "I am embarrassed. I hope it helps give everyone a sharp sense of perspective."

MrsMerryHenry said: "It was interesting for a day. It's not now. It's cringeworthy in the extreme." "

it's mad, i can't believe it, can the journalists on the telegraph and indie not read?

Exactly LJ. There must be thousands of us here who have older children - Custardo being one notable example - and we seem to manage perfectly well without our own separate site!

Right hunker, croissed posts, didn't see those nasty twig posts.

yeah that was complete crap LucyJones. Plus surely some Moldoes have babies/toddlers. It's nothing to do with the age of your children

MumofBaby - look at the daily Telegraph link, that might help you

I should think so Hunker. in fact you have haven't you???

but there will be an air of separtenss around them for a while I'd imagine though.

saying that go on the general threads on MN and there are hundreds on MN totally unawre of all this, you'd be very safe there. I saw some say yesterday, oh has LL left????

There are island of saftey, but I'd suggest if you don't want to talk about Moldies, get off the moldie thread. (go and find my palestinian dilemma one in chat, I am most disappointed about the lack of interst so even moldies welcome ther/

forays? all this 'go back to your own site' stuff, it's madness. unless you are prepared to swear never to CAT, email, FB or ever mention MN again privately? i never post this as i think it's pretty rude but... get a GRIP everyone, please?

HM - as far as I'm concerned, YES YES YES, I even think I made that personally clear to you a few days ago. Can't speak for anyone else of course.

But I can't bear the whiners and the "Don't You Know Who I Ams?". Problem is that I do remember them unfortunately, they stick out, and always have done.

hmmmm...I asked this a few days ago...no idea on which thread, lol....but....anyway...what exactly are moldies anyway....?

'The initial argument started after Moldies started a separate area where they could talk about issues surrounding older children.

Mumsnet, which has over 40,000 users, tends to focus on advice on babies and toddlers.'

The Daily Telegraph sems to have overlooked our teenager section

Colbeck, Twiglett was mentioned on this thread last night in several rather unpleasant posts. You won't see them now - they've been deleted.

I am THE only person on MN who didn't know about Moldies. Please can someone explain exactly what the situation is with this? Does it mean that the rest of us on MN are now regarded in the same way as netmums? Or does it mean that we are now free from the belittling of some of the 'oldies'. How long do you have to be on MN to be an oldie by the way? I've changed name/ e-mail accounts now and again but I've been here 2 years. Do I not count?

"From" you Aitch?
You mean they were your quotes?

x-posted with JV.

but i'm not feeling welcome at all. this is descending into really nasty, low territory...

sorry, did I miss anything? I have been playing squash with my good friend The Most Reverend Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town.

That was to gdg by the way.

Take a look at yourself. Why do you keep making these little forays just to have digs?

i have no idea who is and who isnt on what site now

if i was told i would forget in an hour no doubt

doesnt matter enough

give each other a hug, you know you want to

colbeck, i think twig was mentioned a lot last night, really nastily, hence the deletions. i think every one of you has gone completely mad.

PS two of the quotes in the telegraph piece were from me, by the way. i never knew my peers were so unbelievably sloppy.

HunkerMunker - Aitch springs to mind.

Oh good I can put my fevered imagination to rest then!

'Special site'

Oh do grow up.

So put down your "Elivs is alive" banner, dear
[pats NL's head]

Is anyone who is a "known Moldie poster" ever going to be able to post here again without people being unpleasant to them?

no, i hadn't changed by then
