Original poster

Should I confess to MN?

A couple of months ago I posted on AIBU with something that happened to me. I was ripped apart by MN and asked MNHQ to take the post down.

The situation was 100% what happened the only thing I didn’t say was that it happened about 15 years ago and I posted as if it was current.

Part of me wants to own up to the post and share how it actually ended but I wonder whether MN is bothered. Personally when I see a deleted post I am curious about the outcome.

Does MN want to know? I’ll come back this evening and see what the comments are like and take it from there.

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve, but it sounds like you enjoy the drama. Unless you enjoyed being ripped apart, just leave it and get on with your life.

I'll be honest here . I often ' watch ' a post , I've got one I've followed for a long while .
Sometimes poster will be writing a flurry of posts if something needs to be got off their chests and if they are replying to suggestions given . Then it might go quiet for awhile . If they update , I've sometimes unwatched a post because I feel it's come it it's natural conclusion.
I also might watch a post for a day or two but if it begins to annoy me , I'll unwatch .
To answer your question , for me , if a poster has asked for their post to be taken down because they don't like to answers , it's akin to flounce out of a room in a huff , so it might bother me at the time , but not for long.
If I saw your original post , I might have followed it , but am I bothered about it now ?
No .

Depends what the thread was, I doubt everyone was that much on tenterhooks that they’re still thinking about it.

Do you like a bit of drama / attention?

Blue4YOU · 20/05/2022 08:31

Up to you OP

I don't think they will care really it doesn't matter if it was true or not they took it down.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 20/05/2022 08:32

how on earth can any one possibly answer-there have been so many deleted threads it is unlikely from this info absolutely none that anyone would have any idea what you are talking about-

And if you were "ripped apart" the first time why would you want to do it again except for the drama??

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 20/05/2022 08:33

Also-will it be a TAAT and taken down as well?

KatherineJaneway · 20/05/2022 09:08

Surely if you share the outcome you'd have to retell the story which lead to you being 'ripped apart'?

MoggyP · 20/05/2022 09:08

Nah, don't bother

OuiWeeOui · 20/05/2022 09:13

no, just let it go now

Looks like it.

You know this isn't Facebook right?

Most of mumsnet don't like vague booking

LizBennet · 20/05/2022 09:30
