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

Well, we do say mums not moms though. We're not American you know

Everyone has gone a bit mad over Christmas it seems (except for the inexplicably maligned reverend, onebat, justine and other reasonable types of course).

Love the delicacy of the M*l on Snday's article. Nice to see mumsnet has given them more evidence of the end of civilisation. The sloppiness of the Independent (and the NZ herald) is unbelievable.

I'm not sure what you are getting at onebat. Perhaps you could clarify?

roffle @ onebat

Are you lot still talking about cocktails? I've a bottle of baileys here that needs tarting up a bit.

Can you imagine the morning editorial meeting?

So-ooo. We've got MomsNett? It's a networking site for moms?

Or we got that sheep story.

Whadda you guys think?

The New Zealand Herald copies LOADS of its articles...very lazy.

Hilarious they have thought this is worth copying, there's about 15-20 MNers here! No one else will have a clue what the article is about. It's the summer holidays here so everyone is off at the beach, they've prob left one trainee journalist behind to put together the world news...

HMMM they seem LARGELY annoyed about the swearing and rudeness, because we are Mummies

But there was no more swearing and rudeness on THOSE thread than on many others...

No one would disagree with you there MP. NZ Herald is the 'broadsheet' of NZ but is actually more like a community newsletter.

here is the mail

oh, lol; this is getting really daft now.

has their been a mail article as well?

oh great the newsealand post has just COPIED the errors from the Indie, so justabout gets another airing

how LAZY are they?

Dare I say the DM article has a hell of a lot more journalistic integrity than the SIndie's efforts?.....and at least they attributed the quotes to the right posters!

lol, missed a bit there ...
"NuttersNet, If you ask me"
Gone global - ha ha!

What cracks me up is that the NZ Herald usually has, at the most, 2 pages of world news. That this has made it on the NZ Herald has me ROFL ...

Can't you see how utterly ridiculous this is?

hif you ask me ...

maybe we are quits then as I have had a lovle email but no favebook invite

oh that must mean I'm a lower down the pile reject than you I've not had any emails (apart from when I nearly left MN over a totally different issue) - and I think i may have requested this person has a "friend" on facebook a while ago and they co-incidently added me after it all kicked off

Also, don't you love the way that they make this insane swerve at the end, and remind us that social-networking sites can and have been the cause of FAMILY BREAKDOWN!

Oh Ells and Ohs.
Freaking heck that is without question the funniest thing that has happened all .. day.

If I were VinegarT*ts I would be begging Justine to allow asterisks in nick-names!!!

OR writing to the DM demanding to know why they have censored her "perfectly reasonable name, which reflects the reality of looking after toddlers of a certain fractious age.

I remain, Sir, your loyal servant,

VinegarTots"

actually have had one email which meant a lot as I really like the mumsnetter it came from.

lol faq me too

facebook "friends" - not threads

oooooo - I'm the best you could ever hope to be

I'm a BOTTOM OF THE PILE reject

(although a known Moldie did add me to her facebook threads after it all kicked off - although we've not actually "spoken" to each other on there)

another blardy thread has been deleted......due to the cowardly offensiveness of lilly livered namechangers.

when will it stop???????

ILMD, this one has no limit, it has special dispensation to keep all the moldie stuff in one place. given the threads that have been deleted today it isn't working!!
