The MN Mail Column - what we think, and what we plan to do next... part 3

So. The column. Are we to take it that it was withdrawn because it was just too poor to publish?

not me bibbity.

And another thing ... where tf is the wolfinsheeps clothing? Is that you pofaced?

Am thinking of undergoing yet another namechange to effedoff.

Message laced with rohyphnol and taken to the Associated Newspapers office for a darned good seeing to.

Pofaced deleted by Swedes.

Message deleted by Mumsnet in association with Associated Newspapers.

I deleted a few messages today, i've only eer done it twice in 8 years, first time I was told I may have offended DP (which when you think about is quite er, unusual) and today because I had posted on a bumped up thread which I realised wasn't in SN but was about ASD's and in the past I ahd posted some quite private info on that I woudln't have normally shared outside that area; risk management and all that.

LOL

I might start bumping old threads with particularly sparkling contributions by me.

And then approach the DM directly.

But I'll have to that little plan Top Secret, of course!

Bobbity - yes, you're right, it's not conducive.

I'm stopping it now, and getting back to other discussions.

Gah, I hate all this. Feeling like a pawn in someone else's game. The talking in code ... The not knowing is humiliating. The message deleting is ridiculous.

Its not what I'm looking for in a chat forum.

Greensleeves: I am immensely fond of both BA and LH, and I think that the bumping business is groundless conspiracy theory!

And I have no explanation for any bumping of ancient threads whenever it happens. People have a variety of reasons. Occasionally, I think, old threads have descended en masse into active convos as a result of some Tech-ery, too, when things have gone a bit awry.

I was being tongue in cheek about norty thread bumping.

God works in mysterious ways Zeph.

I don't know really. I was hoping LH was sticking to mundane threads too [hence ham sandwiches etc] but i know the first thread quoted upset TD understandably, and perhaps LH has steered away from anything potentially upsetting since then, even if it might lose her the column? Just wondering.

Well it certainly was benign, pofaced, so no fears on that score. But why?

(the "why has the column been pulled" was meant for MNHQ - I wasn't suggesting that you should know the answer to that one blu)

I was immensely fond of LH when she posted here. I wouldn't push Badger's Arse out of bed either. I think Badger's arse hopefully would only bump very benign threads [someone mentioned importing cheddar?]for various reasons. It is all a bit odd really.

Blu, I would agree with you that this would be a more likely explanation, except that I can't see what could possibly her motive in reviving such an utterly dreary thread to go in the DM. Why?

And why has the column been pulled?

BadgersArse is not LH

she is somebody else v well known

and what is all this "crony" crap?

LH as a MNer was very kind to me, very supportive and helpful and gave very intelligent advice

that doesn't just evaporate because something else has happened

I have indeed, and been back to check, too.

Now, (libellous allegation alledgedly coming up, ) I could imagine certain norty posters bumping old threads just to see if bait was taken and threads used in the press, but BA and LH in backstage plotting? nah.

Blu, have you seen the thread that BadgersArse resuscitated? Being recognisable hardly precludes her from being a "crony" of LH's (indeed I believe she has expressed her fondness for her on here recently). If she didn't do it to help out LH, god knows why she did do it.

I do share worries over the AIBU thread- that one is a particualr fear for me.
