is there a moldies part three?

But the thought of being debated is what hurt a lot of people initially Jurt. you must understand that?

(Oh by Jurt is right there are two boards, Sn on here which is accessible to all but you need to choose and a yahoo group. The yahoo group is run in a way that anyone can request or be asked the only rules are that no info on thre is shared as some is very medical / confidential etc, and 2 people need to know any new posters on MN so we are careful about who is on there- as Jurt knows we ahd big concerns over =smeone who clearly wasn't quite right and happy to attack people on the SN boards, hinted that they wanted money and the like).

There's no 'Oh I don't like' business or just friends though.

OK, I'm going to sign off rather than reply to that.

However, there is no debating of posters on moldies either so I don't quite know why that old chestnut is still doing the rounds.

please answer my 9.10am post, someone, anyone.

Please will someone explain hun and royalty points to me.

It's not a vetting Jurt its to check 2 people know who the proposed person is, as eg people on the ASD topics dn't always know people on physically disabled areas.....

I think a few people on here are misunderstanding. There are 2 SN boards. One, on here which is open for all to see, just not in active conversations and the second TTR- a private place by invitation only (and yes people can be vetoed - the question is asked each time, or at least was when I was on there).

I said before xmas that TTR and Moldies were run along the same lines. They are, whether you like it or not, having seen the workings of both, they are. I'm not quite understanding why one is causing so many problems and the other isn't.

Final point, the vast majority of people planned to post on several sites. Moldies was an add on, not an either or. As I also said before christmas I communicate with my friends in many ways. My closest (online) friends I communicate with by email. Those who have left MN (and really I count myself for now at least, as I was posting a lot during November & December and now really can't be bothered) have done so because they don't have the energy to post here and have to continually justify themselves. Nothing to do with having somewhere else to post, and everything to do with having enough problems in RL perhaps without having to add in extra online ones.

This sort of thread is hassle that I'm sure everyone posting on here doesn't need.

Badass at facebook deletions, mind I have no idea who most people on my facebooka re anyway- if they're 20 - 50 and female I just think oh yes must be MN LOL

great vetting huh?

I've been contacted by a moldie whome I got on with before and have massively appreciated it, she and I have ridiculously similar famillies and share a lot in common. I'd have hated to lose her friendship, even if some peolpe do seem to think its second class as its not 'RL'

(If mn isn't rl how come so much of my life still goes by when I am on here?'

I have decided the reason I am not on moldies is that I am too nice and they only want judgey people. And I do not ant to be told different LOL

Rev I think you're right about TTR Sn board, also the sn crowd had a weirdy stalker who appears on and off, we needed to hide then

Where the feck is the Mouldies MN oldies anyway, I googled them and found Rhubarbs blog?

I liked it btw.[blog]

Where are they? Here? Facebook? Other?

fio you have been picked up on it because you persist in saying TTR is the same thing as the moldies group. TTR is invitation only-but invites are extended to anyone with a child with special needs, the posters are not debated and voted on as to whether they are "worthy" enough.

Why you cannot see the difference I really do not know. But I guess, as the old saying goes "there are none so blind as those who do not wish to see".

Flightattendant7, you may be right, it is difficult for a new person/outsider to appreciate an established group dynamic.

badassmarthafocker, that is very hurtful, but have you checked that those people are still on Facebook? I closed my account last year (my employer banned us from using it) and some of my friends emailed me to ask why I had deleted them.

dominion

you forgot, "mad as a box of frogs"

fio TTR is there for anyone who needs it mouldie/non mouldie

I agree rev. And the reason the SN board went 'private' was a very valid one in my opinion. It is totally different to the moldies forum.

thankyou rev

I keep seeing new members saying things like 'wow, I can't believe how passionate this all is'

and it strikes me that actually that's because they are probably too new to understand the real passion that exists on these boards.

people are very much involved
it's a good thing, but it does cost a lot emotionally when someone is hurt.

I guess you'd call it investment. To an outsider it must seem a little freakish.

Sally - can't believe you have been deleted from people's Facebook over this! Seems a tad OTT.

(Why are you 'badassmarthafocker'??)

Nah, I'm the PITA. evryoe in the LEA hates me twice over .

I'm the PITA but used to it. Everyone in the LEA hates me so I'm developing a thick skin.

And the key thing of course is that if anyone, moldie non moldie newbie old or PITA develops the need for TTR we will be waiting with an invite.

We're a resource, not a club.
