Don't believe what you read

Just a reminder that people who post on MN may not be what they make out!
Sure, we all know this but it's still easy to forget on the posts.

I just read quite a mean reply to an op from a male and advanced searched them.
On another thread, they were discussing their husband and speaking as a woman.

Ugh I hear you op. Spent ages on a baby name thread trying to advise the op not to call their kid Nigel and it WAS A TROLL!

Like right now there’s a nutcase on the ‘to leave the family business’ thread on AIBU. Just another day on the internet!

My problem is the opposite. In the few threads I have started I have told the truth 100%, and yet after 4 or 5 sensible responses, later posters always start accusing me of making it all up or posting merely for attention or a wind up.

It's got to the point where I have changed my name and no longer feel it's worth starting an AIBU or thread asking for opinions about anything at all.

Any nutter can start/reply to a thread on here. Just as you wouldn't believe everything you hear in real life you need to take things on here with a pinch of salt!
I usually type my reply then forget about it.

Haha, true. Mumsnet should have this as their tag line

Thanks for all the replies. I'm over it now, and actively reading another nutty thread!

Sadly, I didn't get to see the now deleted thread PinkMoscato.

I’ve had a couple of
responses in the past, “something isn’t quite right/ doesn’t make sense” - from what I have told them. However, If I gave them the FULL picture , it WOULD make sense; be very outing. If you don’t believe, scroll on
