This thread is a continuation of this one. That one had become too big for its own boots the system to handle.

"the response I got from a certain number of posters was bizarre, high-school style ganging up and pack mentality fuck off- we -don't-do-this-here-don't-you-know-the-rules? (which I didn't)"

Did that happen to you as well? Gawd, talk about baptism of fire ... first day of MN ... and that happened to me as well. Loud shouts of "troll" thrown in as well (the loudest from someone who was subsequently banned as a troll, somewhat ironically).

Strangely enough, I've never forgotten that experience, nor the people (none Moldies, one of which was Xenia) who were absolutely lovely at the time.

ROFL. i've just found what rhubarb wrote in wikipedia (found it in history), very funny.

Thank you, soph - and keeping my fingers crossed for you

Btw..I am definitely hurt and offended that you gave up on Salsa!
New year, old resolutions?
ML and I will make sure you have a great time, that's a promise!

---- "love"?

Thank you, OBM!

I haven't read much of this Moldie stuff, but I get the jist. I recognised a couple of names and then realised why...

I remember posting one thread on AIBU (which I'd never ever posted on before, having stuck solely to SN as that's all I can usually talk about and am interested in, about my feelings about a news story. OK, I now realise that it was frowned upon to talk about said topic (but didn't at the time), BUT the response I got from a certain number of posters was bizarre, high-school style ganging up and pack mentality fuck off- we -don't-do-this-here-don't-you-know-the-rules? (which I didn't) and this moldy thing makes a whole lot of sense now!

Personally, I'd rather that the people who would gang up and swoop down on a new person to a board (like I was) for something ill-judged rather than evil, like they did with the whole 'heard this all before' thing, go somewhere else so that the rules for them ARE written and they don't spend time berating people for breaking unwritten rules that they have just made up because they think they rule the school boards.

But it's a shame that people got upset by it.

Monkeytrousers · 01/01/2009 22:46

Equivocation is a terrible thing.

Twinset, as a non moldie I don;t know what you mean. Is it stirring things up to want what you have said represented accuratly?

Anyway, I'm off back to Blackadder.

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 01/01/2009 22:46

crikey hunker - you and I have never crossed on e another before, and I've no interest in pissing you off.

I've certainly got no need to twist your words which speak entirely for themselves.

If you sound like a -- when I cut and paste your words, that's because you sounded like a -- the first time.

twirl away..... i shan't be clapping.

rubiks · 01/01/2009 22:44

Keep on with the conspiracy theories, KM, they're funny.

Lockets, I thought it would've been taken already, but no!

I'll keep it for another day, maybe. I like my HM too much to change for long!

controlfreakyhohohohohohoho · 01/01/2009 22:42

like i said qs to vvvq, feel free. but it's a bit bloody ridiculous stupid isnt it? wont you be talking about anything on here then that will identify you? will you be subtly altering your personal details then so those that "know" you on here wont recognise you then? will you lie when someone says "oooh, is that you qs?"....

presumably not what you were aiming for when you joined / stayed in mouldies?

and if you flounced from mn what has drawn you back and made you want to continue as an mner (albeit it one with a namechange)??

finding the mouldie posts on here increasingy bizzare i must say.....

"i WILL post on here if i want.... err, but i will change my name so no one knows what i've done even though i've done nothing wrong... and even if i have i don't know why YOU'RE all so upset...." (i paraphrase)

DaddyJ · 01/01/2009 22:39

I am sitting here, mouse in my right hand, my balls in my left hand.
And now you don't want them anymore..oh bitter rejection!
DON'T TELL ME someone vetoed my balls
even if it's true

Heathcliffscathy · 01/01/2009 22:38

no no no no. i am not part of a pack. not.

back with your pack accusation i tell you.

Aitch · 01/01/2009 22:38

i didn't feel it was near the knuckle, however, if vq did thats what's matters.

LadyMuck · 01/01/2009 22:37

Are we getting to the stage where it is mainly Mouldies discussing Mouldies on MN ?

hunkermunker · 01/01/2009 22:35

Why have I an image of KerryMum with one of these?

Aitch · 01/01/2009 22:35

sorry onebat, i was simply responding to custy's "vvq, you said something a little similar on another thread. i would like to reiterate that if i have said anything which mentions you personally, which you find offensive, then please make it known and i can either explain or apologise as, from the bottom of my heart, i don't think i have done so."

i was just reminding that she had mentioned her personally, to my mind very personally. you didn't find it anything other than robust comment, i thought it was pretty nasty. luckily for us, it's not our decision. custy obviously felt it was near the knuckle, so she's apologised. good on her.

controlfreakyhohohohohohoho · 01/01/2009 22:33

can i also rant say, all those that keep saying "oooh, let's draw a line now and move on".... why dont you? then this thread would shrivel and die... leaving a few of us muttering to ourselves quietly in the corners....
