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

StealthPolarBear · 23/12/2008 20:45

custy - because when i first found out about mouldies (gingham ribbon - remember) and I had not been on mumsnet much so i asked someone who i know well about it and she told me (apologetically) that she was on it and had put me forward but they had said no.'

I find it so shocking after a comment like that that people are still defending their forum

slanging match
this is going nowhere

southeastastra · 23/12/2008 20:39

and i hope you're ok expat, i know you're made of stern stuff but still

maybe someone has been at the christmas sherry all afternoon

StealthPolarBear · 23/12/2008 20:37

Liffey's comment? Right, I didn't see it.
Still am surprised the whole thread went rather than just the post as usual. Maybe MN has a standard rule - more than 60% of posts deleted, whole thread goes

southeastastra · 23/12/2008 20:34

ah was in relation to another comment on a pulled thread. but still nasty

StealthPolarBear · 23/12/2008 20:34

What's up SEA? Who has made a personal attack?

southeastastra · 23/12/2008 20:31

since when have personal attacks been allowed???

southeastastra · 23/12/2008 20:31

oh mary mother of god

StealthPolarBear · 23/12/2008 20:29

I wonder why. They said they would be leaving them and deleting any new ones, which is fair enough.

I am posting on one of these thread for the last time to say that I have found this whole situation quite sad. But I think that something good will come of all this. I have 'talked to' many different people who I have never spoken to before who I hope to see more of in the future (if DH ever lets me back onto the computer). But I now need closure on this.

Some people I have seen in a new light, and that saddens me. I hope the moldies are happy on their new forum, and the the ones who want to come back do, and see that mumsnet has improved for the better. I'm sorry so many people have been hurt. Obviously there are more important things going on in life, but you could say that about any problem, so I hope people who don't understand will accept that even though it doesn't bother them, other people have a real sense of betrayal and not belittle it.

I've also really neglected my lovely postnatal girls over the past few days, sorry girls if you are reading, I'll be back soon.

I'm going back to real life for a while. Take care everyone, and have a wonderful Christmas. let hope the new year will be a new start for all of us.

Sorry, that's not very eloquent and a bit disjointed, but you know what I mean right?

Now a nitching den is a lovely place I expect -in my family "to nitch" is to nuzzle into small baby;s soft fluffy neck and head and INHAAALE.

PeachyBidsYouNadoligLlawen · 23/12/2008 19:10

I think (as Is aid before) that many people would have just got hthe link and thought Oh-Ok

that I can understand; it's easy not to think things through

but defending it, and more to the point tbh dismissing other peoples genuine feelings as silly is OTT

Just because someone doesn't agree with you does not make them wrong. Different to you, more sensitive, perhaps. Not wrong.

This started with something that coud have been sorted ina bust-up but the dismissal of concerns may well be what sent it over

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 19:10

sorry, mo' fo's, posted on the other thread.

not gotta shit and run to bathe the girls and get them into their bed.

Tortington · 23/12/2008 19:09

i haven't seen anyone refer to it as a nitching den - but i haven't read all posts. its certainly not a prominant argument. what you talk about is a side issue IMO.

pooka · 23/12/2008 19:09

Peachy - did that happen to someone else as well on here - back in 2003 possible.

Am sure I remember the fall-out - the difficult position the DH was in, and there being practically no explanation.

Wonder who that was - it def was a social club or a darts team or summat. Wracking brains.

Anyway - what a shit thing to happen, but the right response of course is to think tough shit, their loss.
