really patronising.

sinking - are you sure you were 'activley rejected'? from what I can make out it could be for very little things. The process was chaotic and haphazard rather than calculated and like opius dai or that bit in the film eyes wide shut.

Flightattendant7 · 03/01/2009 16:10

Lol seeker!

Georgi - I am trying to respond to my legions of needy posters at the same time as mopping tears over ere.

Somebody's got to do it

Tortington · 03/01/2009 16:10

i would expect a friend not to keep a secret wanabe to be fair,

and a little for those who think it needs to be left - leave dont bump or talk about it. let those who want to - do. I don't mid it it fizzles out on its own, becuase b=people have said what they want to and that;s that - even if its said over and over again.

thats infinatley better imo hanbeing told by people to stop posting its rather like

---------

lets draw a line under it - does anyone remember that? it was so infuriating and rude. if your done with it - then move on - if it des - great

but posters and the not starting a new thread by MNHQ shouldn't mean that those few who want to shoul be able to don't you think?

That is a very kind comment, Flight.

seeker · 03/01/2009 16:09

I think I would rather have been actively rejected than completely overlooked!

Flightattendant7 · 03/01/2009 16:08

Thready if anything it was probably envy that you might be more popular than they

You are very funny and nice and have good user names. IMVHO

Threadworm · 03/01/2009 16:07

I was activley rejected too, apparently. I think the selection process was just too chaotic for me to infer from rejection that I am actively disliked. I hope that is true.

So I would try not to worry about it too much, sinking.

Anyway, the reason I came on to this thread was to say for god's sake stop discussing moldies. I thought the discussion might die with the last thread. What on earth more os there to be said?

Enough, please.

georgimama · 03/01/2009 16:07

What wannabe said.

While people are obsessing here about this issue, there are people who want to be part of MN posting about real problems, or just wanting to chat, who would love you to reply.

Are any of you lawyers? Please look at my thread if so.

Flightattendant7 · 03/01/2009 16:05

Oi dunno, stealth. Oi hav not been 'hinformed of such

Probably....I wouldn't be surprised! But rather not know I think or I'd be really upset.

StealthPo09IsHere · 03/01/2009 16:04

were you deemed not worth as well Flight?

wannaBe · 03/01/2009 16:04

When people feel the need to discuss the goings on on a website over and over and over again just so they can get worked up and upset over it all again it's time to step back imho.

So there's another website. Big deal. And some posters who thought they were more popular than they were weren't invited to join. Oh well.

Is it the fact there's another site that people are upset? or is it the fact that people who thought they were part of the in-crowd turned out not to be? If those who are up in arms about moldies had been invited would you have said no? Somehow I don't imagine so.

Mn is a website. Moldies is a website. If friendships from here are real then they will have moved from the internet into more real forms like email/phone/meeting up in rl, in which case there should be no need for invites to other websites as you will be conversing with those friends away from the net anyway.

Fwiw I am not a moldy neither have I been invited to join, but I do have a rl friend who is. So what. I'm sure I have other rl friends who I haven't met online who do things in which I'm not included either.

Friendship is not exclusive. If I'm friends with someone doesn't mean I have a right to access every part of their life/have an entitlement to join in everything they do.

lilolilmanchester · 03/01/2009 16:04

I care and I'm sorry people have got hurt. But have been through this with a RL group of yummymummies and that was harder. I do understand why people are upset and want to talk about it, but I really wouldn't want to be part of a group who are voting on who can or can't join in their group. I'm glad that there are so many of you lovely MNetters who are still here for all of us.

Flightattendant7 · 03/01/2009 16:04

I'm sure you are

Got me worried now!! arghhh

SinkingontheTitanic · 03/01/2009 16:01

No, I was told that all the rejections were for good reasons ie not just because someone was unknown. I know far more than I should know, but I am not going to say all. Contrary to what someone thought about me, I am a decent person.

dizzydixies · 03/01/2009 16:00

oohh Stealth - loving the new year name

Flightattendant7 · 03/01/2009 15:59

I agree - a lot of people just got vetoed because the ones in charge apparently didn't 'know' them personally - from what I can gather.

StealthPo09IsHere · 03/01/2009 15:58

Sinking, you were probably rejected because X or Y didn't actually know you, or Z was having a bad day. Come on, it's hardly a fair or rational system!

SinkingontheTitanic · 03/01/2009 15:57

I am glad for you Mamazon, I truly am. I wish I didn't care but the truth of the matter is, I do.

I think the best thing I read on this subject was when someone said that a lot of people on forums such as this are shy or in some way socially inept, so when they get rejected even a virtual rejection, they are the least able people to overcome the hurt they feel. That described me. If you really truly don't care about rejection or being overlooked, then I admire you.

StealthPo09IsHere · 03/01/2009 15:57

I am sadly coming to the conclusion that there shouldn't be a third thread. Despite people still wanting to talk about it (me included) there are too many people who, instead of just clicking hide come on to have a go. Or to say "grow up and get over it - don't see why you're upset". Even though people like Custy and Sinking have explained over and over again they either don't read those posts or deliberately ignore.
Don't know which is worse - to be mominated and found wanting, or to be overlooked. But I know which happened to me Also, considering the voting only went on for a day or so, they were very busy blackballing during that time, weren't they?

Tiggiwinkle · 03/01/2009 15:56

Well I have certainly revised my opinion of all those posters who have become moldies-and lets just say it is not an upwards revision!

dizzydixies · 03/01/2009 15:55

good for you sinking - fecker that they were

whats a hun point btw?

Flightattendant7 · 03/01/2009 15:54
