ITV's This Morning programme have invited me and Justine on to talk about the Toddlers book and want to also invite a couple of Mumsnetters to talk about how they got into Mumsnet and what Mumsnet means to them etc.

The date will probably be 4th or 5th Feb, they will need us between 9.30 and 12 and are prepared to pay travel expenses.

Anyone out there interested in snuggling up on the sofa? If you are, please put a bit of blurb about yourself here - how many children you have/how old, how you got into Mumsnet and what it means to you etc - so This Morning can decide who they might fancy inviting. If you do volunteer we may have to pass your email details on to This Morning, in case they want to chat to you, so shout now if you'd rather we didn't do that.

Thanks,

MNHQ

That group has been linked to on here before.

ladycornyofsilke · 03/02/2009 17:19

Yes - but MNHQ have taken it off now 2 shoes.

2shoesformyvalentine · 03/02/2009 17:17

please can someone tell me what has happened. ?? has some twat really linked to the FB group and were the members names viewable(yes mine would be one)

Ledodgy · 03/02/2009 17:17

No anyone on fb who searches mumsnet and sees dom in the list can click and see the list of members. Well they used to be able to I'm sure it's been sorted now to respect privacy. That's the trouble with fb the settings are somewhat bizarre.

VinegarTits · 03/02/2009 17:04

i thought the FB group was a closed group??

I didnt expect some dimwit to post a list of the members

Tamarto · 03/02/2009 16:59

I'm still not sure why there is a difference between joebloggs joining the DOM seeing that her neighbour also joined DOM (so assuming she also posts on MN) and stalking her, and what happened here.

I'm not saying people are wrong to be annoyed.

If you truly want to be anonymous on MN then joining an MN facebook group with your real name on your profile, is not the best idea.

Wickedwaterwitch - FWIW i've never confused you with any other WWW.

I thiink they will look at this thread and do an item about eastenders, blackcunts and the World Wars.

I would watch that

AlistairSim · 03/02/2009 16:55

It's bought out the baffled loon in me.

ruty · 03/02/2009 16:53

I have to say Moldies has brought out the very worst in us. Both of us.

AlistairSim · 03/02/2009 16:51

I feel I should take some responsibilty for this ruckus, as it was me asking what DoM was.

I had no idea what it was or that it would re-open old wounds, so sorry to all.

posieflump · 03/02/2009 16:44

so no one believed me that it was a below the belt thing to do but they all beleive custy and rhubarb , cheers me dears

lou031205 · 03/02/2009 16:40

AND THIS MORNING WANTS TWO MNERS TO COME ON TO TALK ABOUT MN WHY, EXACTLY?

fryalot · 03/02/2009 16:39

I think you're closer to the mark than you might think, there, ledodgy

so. No point asking if this thing has kicked off yet.

Have Phil & Fern changed their minds yet? Are they on the phone to netmums as we type asking them to appear?

TnOg - thank you mate, and it's bloody nice to see you - get thee to the word game immediately (but no, am not going on t'telly)

Ledodgy · 03/02/2009 16:33

I keep reading WWW1 WWW2 and WWW3 as world wars tis the historian in me and it's all bloody confusing.

grrrrrrrreat · 03/02/2009 16:29

Well, great, thanks a lot.

I have namechanged, obviously and will never post under my old name again. I'm very annoyed that my name was listed here and I'm very grateful to mumsnet for deleting the offending post.

To the person who posted it: if it isn't such a big deal to you, why not post your own RL name here? For heaven's sake, the DOM was a JOKE and anyone with an ounce of sense would have been able to find it on facebook. Anyone who joined would be accepted, it isn't the blinking masons.

I'm really hacked off with this place. Sod it. I might just leave all together to not namechange. I'll just flounce instead.

WideWebWitch · 03/02/2009 16:27

I don't want anyone to think I am WWW2 or WWW3 or anything!

I really think it's not on for anyone to post anything that could identify rl names here though, very bad form indeed imo.

Tortington · 03/02/2009 16:18

gosh i suppose it could be upsetting for the original WWW2 to be mixed up with this current WWW2, anything post www will be www2

Thanks www2 for your kindly response, the lack of bolshy frontin' additude and in its place acceptance is very telling and appreciated.

ladycornyofsilke · 03/02/2009 16:13

That would be my worry as well Rhubarb.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 16:12

I might work with Tracey Smith, not knowing she is a Mumsnetter, see that list, recognise her and then realise that she is a Mumsnetter.

Is that not how people like cod get stalked and have to leave?

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 16:11

'snot the point.

Is it?

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 16:08

BUT NO-ONE WOULD KNOW THAT THEY'RE YOUR DETAILS, RHUBS! i saw the list, nd apart from the muppet didn't recognise a soul...

ladycornyofsilke · 03/02/2009 16:07

And it was said tongue in cheek - if you want to take offence go right ahead.

ladycornyofsilke · 03/02/2009 16:06

Blu I said that- how many Kerrymums are there then?

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 16:03

xposts with you wwwestlife.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 16:02

Divulging real life names on a site that has usernames to protect anonymity is a bit shite. Why do you think we go to this trouble to have usernames?

It's a terrible thing to do and saying that it's there if you search for it doesn't make it any better. Who would search for it if they didn't know it was there? Creating a link just makes it easier for everyone to do doesn't it?

If my fb details ended up on Mumsnet I would be livid. And I'm sure if wwwestlife's details were posted, she would be none too happy either.

Why treat people in a way you wouldn't want to be treated yourself? Do you think you are any better than them?

I think This Morning have taken one look at this thread and changed their minds about having Mumsnetters on. I don't blame them, I'd just have Carrie and Justine on.
