Yes you are! No I won't! I have aother photo on my file that you can see tho! Wink ds was very proud!

I like being anonymous..It means I can bitch about anyone I want to without fear of ever getting caught out! :)
I thing its just a personal choice for everyone.. definitely should NOT be compulsory!

My profile photos are generally one of my 2 German Shepherds.

Hey! Are you calling me a dog?!!

Imagine Colleen Nolan with slightly lighter hair and less makeup. Tis me!

RabbitAndCo · 15/09/2010 22:05

I kept posting a profile pic

And MNHQ kept removing it as it was "too beautiful" and would "distract other MNers".

Fact.

Tippychoocks · 15/09/2010 22:06

Grin Rabbit. They told me the same thing! And that it wouldn't be fair on the other parenting sites of course.

thisisyesterday · 15/09/2010 22:12

does he have a website rabbit?

MIssAnneThrope · 15/09/2010 22:13

I am quite happy to put up profile photo. It will really confirm my recent lifestyle change - clothes are so restrictive.

RabbitAndCo · 15/09/2010 22:13

Er Hoochie you and your kids are actually beautiful

That's not very fair

BarbieLovesKen · 15/09/2010 22:13

Actually yanbu - Im the same - very curious and often click into poster's profiles to see if they have a picture in there.

Except I would never show mine, as I post very personal info on her/ bitch constantly and like the anonimity.

So, in a nutshell - yes, compulsory for everyone but me Grin

RabbitAndCo · 15/09/2010 22:15

thisisyesterday - yes, but I'm not allowed to say otherwise MNHQ really will get cross.

You could, er, Google my name

loopyloops · 15/09/2010 22:19

Ah, maybe we can get this thread started again, where we guess... I'd like it to die of a proper MN death not natural causes ideally...

thisisyesterday · 15/09/2010 22:19

i did wonder Wink
do you offer a mumsnetter discount? Grin

piscesmoon · 15/09/2010 22:21

Absolutely not!
