What do you do when you think someone is taking the piss

Googlemail is what gmail is called in the UK - there's some issue with someone else having registered the name 'gmail' in the UK. So peopel in the rest of the world (or like me who got one quite a while ago) have @gmail.com, but if you signed up now it would be @googlemail.com. I think.

at least they have the 'heads up' FBG, especially if it does turn out to be cvq.

if not, then the poster can come and get decent support, if they feel strong enough.

yup, gmail and googlemail is the same, just easier to type when you are lazy

Stupid question: Is gmail the same as googlemail? Reason I ask is that I have a googlemail account.

Am feeling tragic though -- no, not a troll. Just on antibiotics for my back molar

yes BoF

oh yeah SGB, and if she had no attention for ooh, a day or so, she would pop up with someting else dramatic and tragic, and would just do a and , and we would all come running (well, me, being the foolish gullable one)!

(Or as we prefer to call her, FallingApartDramatically, Psycho )

I remember being about cvq for quite a while before she got outed: while I know some people have awful lives and a lot of bad stuff to deal with, her story seemed so excessive...

Vaguely remember, not much about her posting though. Must be mostly before my time.

tiffany, that was what we shortened her name to.

she was 'CryingQuietly', then 'CopingQuietly', then 'CopingVeryQuietly', with various other names too.

Cvq.........I just can't remember this poster!!!

I had doubts a bit when the happy ending came, but linked it to a more recent, very disgruntled posted who no longer posts. Likely I'm wrong, but it crossed my mind.

Thanks, but she was replying to my posts. However I do agree with what you are all saying, but I still think that Mumsnet needs to investigate and I do get a little uncomfy about it being discussed in the meantime, just in case.

Dittany alluded to MSN, Rhubs, not this thread.
I agree, if the OP is genuine then this thread is not good. But there are a lot of people supporting her if she is genuine.

well, point taken.

your posts were very balanced tho, MoM, is right.

Rhubarb, your posts were very balanced and i don't think you need to worry about any backlash from this at all.

Well myself and poopscoop have been blasted by dittany on that thread and she has alluded to this one. I didn't know about this, and I voiced concerns about her story too, asking those contacting her to be cautious. Now I'm afraid the thread has turned into a tirade against those who shout troll, which I did not.

So please do be aware that when you start one of these threads, other Mumsnetters are not as discreet and may link to it, and yet others may be blamed and even flamed, when asking for caution.

TBF rhubarb, we are not actually discussing that poster, nor even mentioning her name, we are talking about cvq, and hoping it is not the same one.

should the OP come back to her thread, hopefully she won;t happen upon this one, and if she types her posting name in, she won;t be directed to anything bar the thread she is on.

I have emailed MNHQ tho, as I am pretty sure it sounds like her, altho I am very much prepared to stand up and say sorry if I am worng.

I was not going over to the thread tho to say anything, as the amazing support in there is fantastic if anyone else who is in a similar situation comes across it.

junglist, I will be watching out for your new thread
Bastard trolls.

I reported the whole thread and asked MN to put a stop to it actually. I refuse to stand by and watch MNetters that i like get hurt by a troll in this way

Can I just say that I have been accused on that thread of being a part of this one. If you have concerns can you please just contact MNHQ? It's not fair that others get the abuse hurled at them.

Threads like this don't solve anything. All it does is allow people to speculate. MNHQ do actually investigate if you ask them to. So please, just leave it at that.

but mollie, we arenlt reporting the thread as such, more that we have suspiscions that the OP might be a troll of old who caused a lot of damage last year.

no, the thread as it stands is not wrong........in fact, if genuine, is amazing in the support and advice, so there is no reason to delete. deleting would only be recommended really if it were abusive to someone on mumsnet, or trolling in the way the ADHD one was this morning.

Aaah feck - I posted on that thread. the subject is so close to home I cant ignore these threads.

Had me going too though I did just say to DH not sure if I want her to be a troll (sick) or real (terrible).

Also didn't want to say anything if she was a troll that might upset any Mnetter out there who is genuinely going through DV.

Whenever I've reported threads they seem to be deleted pretty quickly, even in the middle of the night.

I read that thread and did think it was a bit odd to say the least. I really don't get what someone is out to gain by doing something like that.
