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

Bugger me WWW, I thought you were one and the same. Now that is confusing. Thanks for clearing that up.

I absolutely take all your points on board custardo. I clearly hadnt thought it through whichis why i didnt give any weight to its importance. xxx

Tamarto · 03/02/2009 15:58

Please ignore the truly awful spelling.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 15:57

blu, i thought that km1 was a namechange, therefore the pp was quite within her rights.

and mn is all about scoring a wee point here and there.

pinksancerre · 03/02/2009 15:57

Good post Blu.

BTW - not a newbie but a namechanger. old name had my rl first name in it and felt the need for a change!

Tamarto · 03/02/2009 15:55

So the problem is she made the info easily accesable?

However the fact that it was there before for anyone to do the same and make the same link is different.

No one joined the group in order to post that list, i am not a member but as curiosity got the better of me i searched the same thing and got the same list it was public info, sorry.

Custardo - This WWWestlife isn't the WWW who replied to wickedwaterwitch's thread.

Blu · 03/02/2009 15:55

Sorry - I'm just exasperated.

Blu · 03/02/2009 15:54

I am in agreement with Custy here. Apart from anything else, ANYTHING that has been done on this thread (and there has been lots) to score points or have a go at another Mner or group of MNers is just pathetic.

The hierarchy thing is right - how can one poster say 'that's not our kerryMum'- about a poster that has been here more than 3 years???? I'm not talking about name confusion, I'm talking about an atmosphere of one-upmanship, threats ('youll lose us al if you choose a moldie'), pointing fingers at DoM, pointing fingers at moldies, all of it!

It's EASY to respect and like people you agree with. far better things come from having some respect for those you might have a disagreement with.

WideWebWitch · 03/02/2009 15:53

I've only skimmed this thread but can I please point out to anyone reading that neither Wickedwitchofwestlife nor Wickedwitchofwestfield are ME. There was a thread on it yesterday but I just wanted to mention it in case anyone thought we were the same.

Anyway, carry on, as you were.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 15:53

it didn't say custardo. i looked.

so alas, i am none the wiser.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 15:48

Custy has said before that she is a member of DoM.
The Mumsnet fb group no doubt would be equally riled if someone linked to it's members pages as I'm pretty sure they do have their Mumsnet names on there too.

In the world of cyber stalking, it was a petty thing to do. And luckily MNHQ thought it too.

Winehouse - history? Now I liked history at school, still do. Your profile is interesting, I think I like you!

VictorianSqualor · 03/02/2009 15:46

Obviously boiling the dog is as bit extreme, but that list could have outed some MNers to who they are in RL.

If someone on MN saw someone they knew on that member's list they could then probably work out which poster the RL person was.

Personally, I'm not anon, too lazy and not interesting enough, but there are people who are not happy with who they are in RL being known to everyone.

If I knew a Clare Smith IRL and saw her picture on that members list I would then know she was an MNer. I could then probably find out which MNer with a bit of digging. That's not good.

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:43

aitch, it said my name

Winehouse · 03/02/2009 15:42

And I can see I asked for the woe is me comments about eastenders and mushroom risotto!

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:42

thats not the point WWW2, not the point at all

just becuase fb users can see my details, it doesn't give you the right to get those details and post them on here

people can cross reference those details and simply look me up in the sodding phone book.

its not on that you took the decision to post MY details here becuase anyone on the www could see them. quite simply that is not YOUR decision to make.

bad form

Winehouse · 03/02/2009 15:42

I lecture in History, Rhubarb. I thought you knew me for a moment and then realised I put my job on my profile. I'm happy to be a lot ruder, if that helps.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 15:34

how? i wouldn't automatically have access to your FB account, unless you'd been lax with your settings. and i'm sure you aren't.

so all i'd have to go on is your photo... were you the red furry fella with the big nose?

wickedwitchofwestlife · 03/02/2009 15:33

Im very sorry that you are upset with me custardo. I cant see that there are any personal details of yours, or anyone else who has a profile on view in facebook to the general public that the whole www cant see anyway.
But the link has been deleted now so hopefully that makes you feel better. I honestly didnt see the problem with posting a link since everyone was asking what it was, and that it was a 'joke' site. Peace and love to you xxx.

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:30

thing is aitch, if you wanted to - you could use the information i post on this site

cross reference it with that list presented

and find out who i am

you could then find out where i live

and boil my dog.

an utterly rubbish thing to do

Tn0g · 03/02/2009 15:29

Can I just correct my spelling of Lulumama's name from Lulamama to Lulumama [!]

In my defence I was stuffing my face and typing with one finger at the time and pressed, a, instead of, u >

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:28

oh carm, we;ve been doing that since time began

its not like with the influx of newbies

the emigration of moldies

has been the cause of effect for that

and i'm frankly with the "oh it aint what it used to be" doomsayers.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 15:28

it seems to have gone now, anyway. the group appears to have been deleted. who was the admin, anyway?

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 15:27

which one are you, custardo?

VS, as i say, i'm sure that there will be a setting on the group that the admin should have clicked to prevent the list being seen. FB is very sneaky about leaving things as open as possible, if you're admining a group you'd have to be careful about this sort of thing.

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:27

yeah its a shame that some rubbish person decided to post personal details from another website without the ownsers permission.

i wonder why that rubbish person would do such a rubbish thing

why did you do such a rubbish thing, rubbish person?

Carmenere · 03/02/2009 15:24

Mumsnet, for parents, by parents, (so they can rile, rib, insult and demoralise each other)
