is there a moldies part three?

I didn't mean it as a mardy thing - tis a good thing to be allowed to say what you want, and very different from a clique who aren't allowed to disagree with the herd. The SN clique erm but the entry criteria is kinda obvious and not at all subjective - you have to have an SN child - so how is it even relevant to this topic which is about arbitrary and random selection of some posters being deemed worthier than others?

oh yes we had a lovely row the other week.

We all disagree with 2shoes- I have a bloody degree in it. First class, with honours

x posted, sorry

The SN group is open to people who post on the SN board afaik, though have only joined recently. I don't think it's cliquey at all, as I have disagreed with 2 shoes and others on the main board about stuff and yet wasn't blacklisted from the group, which I think is a measure of non-cliquiness!

I think SN parents having a private place is, for me, a good thing - parents of kids with SN are often involved in lengthy battles with LEAs, Social Services etc. and I know of people on other SN websites whose details have been 'got' and then their posts used against them.

fio- as 2shoes has repeatedly stated on these threads, the SN group was set up in an entirely different manner and has never refused anyone entry. She has asked that it is not drawn into this debate on previous threads.

fuck me cheers fio, talk about stabbing someone in the back
for your information..
in the 2 1/2 years TTR has been goinbg no one has ever not be allowed to join anhd only one person banned(week one for breaking the only rule.....that what is said there is private) but you seem to know better.

LOL- that assumes I am arsed about it in the first place (OK I was but now we're in about the fifty seventh place and I Am Decidedly Not)

Fio is a mate, as I have realised many of th Moldies are mates. I don't want to know why I was never invited any more. It can't be a positive outcome.

MN seems a friendly place to be atm, lots of nice friendly newbies and I have learned something I ike about myself: I don't look at names when posting.

If peolpe want to leave over it, maybe they should, it's a chat board after all- not a life support system. If not, good. Come back in, let's give up fighting and if those who don't like each other could just avoid each other in the playground for a bit then well done.

lts & wilfs

ignore the feeble attempts at self justification peachy..... rise above it.

'the sn board set up a private invitation only board a few years ago. What is the difference? or is it abnormal to want to discuss your NT children in privacy? '

I would hope that the only criteria is to be known on the SN boards? AFAIK theere's no popularity contest or anything going on. very much the opposite in my experience.

Nah, Troy's just getting a bit short-changed.

Troy a lot of your posts are just being overlooked.

I imagine that happens to you quite a lot.

are you mouldy troy?

Is "you must be a mouldie" the insult du jour?

i hope it will be short-lived

Nah, good ol' Dominion is neither mouldy nor moldie.

Dittany, is that supposed to be an insult?
Pleased to make your aquaintance.

If someone is not outraged and horrified by the existence of the Moldie forum, does that automatically make them a member of it? That does seem to be a prevailing view on these threads, I didn't realise that Mumsnet members all had to conform to one view point.

I am not a Moldie, before you ask.

As a relatively new joiner to this site, this level of outrage seems extraordinary. There are issues in the news that have not aroused such passion on these boards.

dreyfus i heart you

Lurking has been interesting the last few weeks.

My take on this:

Some mumsnetters like eachother and has set up another forum where they chat in peace, free of trolls and rudeness. Is it heaven? Is it bliss?

Surely not. TWO members, who has initially had NO qualms about joining the site, flee and subsequently spill the beans, in all its gory glory, they revel in the perceived facts, of veto's and avatars. I wonder why...

Some members of the new site is outed/outs themselves, and is immediately mumsnet pariah, regardless of who they are, how helpful and lovely they have been prior to this. They are instantly despised and disliked. Mumsnet is better now that the scumbags have left.

ONE member goes mental, and is hurt, because she has not been invited. She has no ethical misgivings about the site, unlike the rest, but SHE has not had a golden invite, and because she assumes some of the members were her friends, rants for weeks. (personally I cant see the appeal of this site such it has been reported, sorry)

Blimey.

Nest of vipers?
Nest of fishwives?

I think in a strange way that I like it here.

i fear morningpaper is too busy scrapbooking to see this little gem
