but I would be grateful if you could tell me that you have at least given serious consideration to banning the posters who were harrassing her.

Thank you.

I agree Nantucket - I will do my first ever MN email now...

I really think Rev should be allowed to make her own choice about posting name.

MrEniddo · 20/01/2009 16:48

Christ you are never bloody satisfied you lot. I have apologised, clearly to your great chagrin and I am doing no more.

This has really fucked me off.

PPH and Enid have barely posted on MN since moldie debacle, and when they have it has been almost entirely to attack the Rev. their 'questioning' of her on two threads (by PPH) at least was done in a very malicious vitriolic, almost manic fashion, it's a shame the posts have been deleted, but anyone who saw them knows that.

PPH and Enid arrived on a Gaza thread, from almost nowhere (can do a thread search to clarify their widespread MN posting or not if needed), with no interest in discussing gaza, but with deeply unpleasnt accusstions about Rev and various lies they accused her of telling eg 'lol you're a fucking REv' being one of Enid deleted posts, and the only vaguely gaza related interest was to accuse her of manufacturing the death of her relatives in the holocaust.

In my mind, and many other, if not yours PPH, this amounts to a malicious personal attacks. Very malicious. And repeated.

It is a shame posts have been deleted otherwise the level of the unpleasntness could be seen, but the fact they are deleted should give you some idea.

And now many mouldies who had disappeared have reappeared just to defend this nasty behaviour.

WTF are moldies doing? Everyone was putting it behind them getting on with MNing then 2 appear simultaneously to make a malicious pertsonal attack, on a very decent (in every sense) poster, and then more reappear to defend them??

For God sake get a grip. Look at yourselves. Twiglett bang some heads together, is this what you intended? I doubt it.

I'm actually pissed off with MNHQ to. I don't think Rev should have to name change. She is a rev if she wants to make this public it's up to her. MNHQ should stand by her in that, it makes the perpetrators of the nastiness look like they had a point.

they didn't.

I am goin to email MNHQ with my views on this and if any one agrees with me please do the same.

pmsl- custy- that is farking hilarious!

But isn't that the anti-mold song?

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 20/01/2009 16:46

A massive moment in history is happening right now and you are worrying about this shit. Enough. What more can be said.

VinegarTits · 20/01/2009 16:46

And my other question? what prompted you to call her a liar?

Why did you not just report her to MNHQ if you thought she was a troll?

MrEniddo · 20/01/2009 16:46

Yes, if you must know, I thought about it and thought 'hmm if she really did have family in the holocaust that must have been quite upsetting'

so I apologised

pagwatch · 20/01/2009 16:46

Fio - yep!

I am being very brave

Rhubarb · 20/01/2009 16:45

Why don't you contact her and apologise in private?

amber32002 · 20/01/2009 16:45

In the terms and conditions on Mumsnet, it clearly says

"The information is not intended to be nor is it to be treated as a substitute for professional advice relative to a specific condition or question. "

Seems really clear to me. So we know to be cautious right from the start. What someone calls themselves should make no difference to that, really.

Rev really is a Rev. And, from what I see, a good one, too.

MrEniddo · 20/01/2009 16:44

Yes I was being sincere.

Tortington · 20/01/2009 16:44

I am not a Rev

but i take pride in my pastoral support

lets all sing the Mold song,

Follow me, follow me

Leave your Boden family

Leave your Jimmy Choos and factor 50 on the shore

Leave the ladygarden you have grown

leave the posters you have knowm

leave the friends that trusted you and follow me.

Piffle · 20/01/2009 16:44

There is no moldie conspiracy to ruin rev anymore than there is an MN one to defend Rev to the hilt.
It is simply some people having one opinion and dome having another
As a moldie I have said that many moldies are not of the opinion that rev is anything other than she purports.

But they know better than me and are fucking the fuck off (as invited by TDWP) and deciding posting anything when tarred with the Moldie brush is futile.

onebatmother · 20/01/2009 16:43

"It was a genuine apology."

A short moment before you were explicity refusing to apologize. You must excuse me if I take your subsequent one, which you ended 'xxx' , as insincere.

And as far as I am aware it is not a crime, as you say, to disbelieve someone you have never met.

To say so publicly and recklessly, in manner likely to undermine their reputation and in particular their professional reputation, is civil matter I believe. Not a crime, though, no.

VinegarTits · 20/01/2009 16:42

Just out of interst Eniddo, what were your reasons for disbelieving her? what propmted you to tell her you thought she wasnt a Rev?

And were you truly being sincere with that apology?

MrEniddo · 20/01/2009 16:40

No, you took as a pretence. It was a genuine apology.

pagwatch · 20/01/2009 16:40

at DP
thats three more than me!

I'm good thanks. DS2 starts an after school for children with SN today and I am sitting here terrified trying not to worry

SORRY for brief hijack people!

onebatmother · 20/01/2009 16:39

What threatening comments? Exactly?

You haven't apologized. You have mocked the rev further with the pretence of an apology.

TotalChaos · 20/01/2009 16:39

you do get fake professionals on parenting sites - fake lawyers, fake midwives, fake nurses. It can be as well to be cautious.

harleyd · 20/01/2009 16:37

people are emailing you about moldies??
