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

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

You'll need to get your football back MP.

Colbeck · 28/12/2008 19:01

The article doesn't really reflect well on anyone does it?

How did it all come to this?????

All I know is...I didn't start it.

JoolsToo · 28/12/2008 19:01

"God, who could possibly manufacture find a problem with that?"

"God the name-changing is getting BAD isn't it?"

has everyone got a hot-line to Him?

morningpaper · 28/12/2008 19:00

So the truce is over then

Can we start killing each other again

I've got this stash of stale turkey we can chuck around?

"I am tempted to tell you what I really think of you because of that comment onebat, but I won't."

Please don't deny yourself on my account Saint George. I've been pretty restrained, I think, so far.

"ever-so-slightly self-satisfied online chat forum" is well and truly covered under the defence of fair comment.

Colbeck · 28/12/2008 18:57

Rev doesn't seem to be worried about her supervisor reading her posts, she is worried about being publically misquoted.

You seem to be inventing an issue for her that she doesn't have. She posts carefully she has supervision she is happy with that.

SHE IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT BEING MISQUOTED!!!

Stop twisting things and creating a new problem which doesn't exist. It makes you look petty and spiteful, like you have some other motive perhaps?

morningpaper · 28/12/2008 18:56

God the name-changing is getting BAD isn't it?

I think we are going to have to start begging MN Towers to limit name changing to once a month or something

soapbox · 28/12/2008 18:56

Onebat - no one has a problem with that as far as I can see, except for the Rev herself, who fears that she could be in trouble because of the Indie article. That is why people were posting to her about all of this.

Tortington · 28/12/2008 18:54

eh up, missed a fight darn it

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 28/12/2008 18:54

howfunntisthis, considering that question to onebat was precisely your third ever post on MN and all of them on THIS thread (at least under that name) what right have you to question anyone's getting involved at all?

onebat has been part of this whole debate from pretty early on.

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 28/12/2008 18:54

the rev's superiors might be overseeing her posts on here purely because she has asked them to do so.

As far as I can see, she has asked them to do so because she is in the unusual position of offering what might be perceived as authoritative advice here (ie. the Church's advice), by virtue of her being a minister.

She is being very sensible and humble, and ensuring that she says and does the right thing with the power that she may have with those who believe.

God, who could possibly manufacture find a problem with that?

Tortington · 28/12/2008 18:53

aww soapbox.

SaintGeorge · 28/12/2008 18:51

I am tempted to tell you what I really think of you because of that comment onebat, but I won't.

soapbox · 28/12/2008 18:49

Unfortunately, when I did that Custy, no bugger ever answered my threads

I do agree that it was rather an unlikely newspaper article and very unfortunate to be misquoted!

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 28/12/2008 18:49

is there any reason for you to get involved in what seems to be a perfectly amicable conversation between other posters?"

well, when it doesn't seem to be perfectly amicable, then yes, namechanger, there are many reasons why another poster might become involved. What with it being an open freakin' forum and all.
Perhaps all this freedom is freaking you out?

Tortington · 28/12/2008 18:47

oh soapbox, i see your argument. yes of course there is a namechanging facility to help those who want to keep their anonymity.

but like MP said i reckon that the chances of her being brought up on a scandle based on someon else quote - were v. slim.

but yes grat point about the namechanging facility to hide your identity - that was my argument regarding the moldies who wanted to protect their identity and went and started a secret forum.

makingafamily · 28/12/2008 18:47

I promise i'm not trolling but i need to ask exactly what is a moldie????

Dotterel · 28/12/2008 18:47

well, luckily she can get expert support from you on that one, eh MP

Rev mate, don't worry, it's only a bit of swearing on tinterweb. Will soon be forgotton.

soapbox · 28/12/2008 18:45

Custy - the argument isn't that you shouldn't do that in the normal run of things it would make no difference. However, if you know that your superiors are reviewing your posts on here, then it might be best to choose a different name for the non-professional posts.

EffiePerine · 28/12/2008 18:45

on the bright side, who actually reads the Indie?

TWINSETinapeartree · 28/12/2008 18:45

I really dont get why rev is getting a hard time on here

EffiePerine · 28/12/2008 18:45

sorry you've been caught up in this Rev, esp as you have been the Voice of Reason throughout

you'd think all the proper journos were on holiday or summat
