to take out my dc who has the pox?

[sleeplessinseatle]

Obviously not to playgroups etc, but I've got a baby at home and don't think I can cope otherwise. Is there anywhere we can safely go where there won't be lots of kids/pregnant women?

Casserole what I am struggling to understand is as you point out she was banned 4 times so how was she able to keep re-registering if MNHQ could work this out today why not previously and without causing all this upset. I admit I am a technophobe so maybe this wouldn't have been possible, I just think maybe this could have been handled better.

ThefirstMrsDeVere - thankyou for that - apologies for not making that clear.

The only other person I know who was banned was interestingly enough another bereaved mummy.

MNHQ didnt like her behavour and she was banned for a weekend. She was thankfully re-instated

dont think this is really relevant but I saw your post re people being banned and this came inot my head

Yeah I think Pixie is prob right. Justine said they hadn't looked at Sassysusan until people started complaining last night about some of her comments on this thread, only then did they notice the connection with the names.

I would be interested to know which other guises she used and whether these were before or after Catherine died in April. If they were all before then I would be more inclined to believe the argument that she used to be a troll and then suffered a huge loss and came back honestly.

I do think it is inevitable people will wonder that sort of thing though, SDTG. If Miasma was affected by this other abusive poster, since banned, of course she'll be thinking of it now and it seems a shame to reprimand her for mentioning it here; I can't see that what she has said would hurt anyone? (forgive me if I am wrong and hamfisted, I realize that in a broader sense this entire thread is very hurtful and every post on it is part of that hurt)

I mean, it is a fact (cf Justine) that this person (SS/WWC) has been trolling in sensitive topics; that's not speculative in itself. If I had been in the road of an abusive trolling poster who got banned recently, I'd be wondering too and there is nowhere else to raise the question, really.

Sassysusan is WWC?? . I...errr...OMG.

If someone reregistered from an internet cafe with a new email address, presumably it wouldn't be flagged up as being the same person. Any subsequent posts from home would have the original address, but presumably that would only be checked if something like this came up.

I post at work and there are at least two other mumsnetters there who would appear to have the same ip address - which incidentally LittleLapin once checked for me, and it came up that I was in the Netherlands, rather than Berkshire, because I work at a school and the SouthEast Grid for Learning's network is managed by a company registered in Holland.
I don't know what would happen if someone used one of the work computers to troll - would we all be banned?

When I feel able to, I will try and post another thread about the risks of CP. Maybe in health somewhere? Maybe if anyone else feels able to share (again), they could also post. I will not do it tonight though, as I need to read some vacuous threads and try to sort my head out first.

Good idea Loudlass. I am pretty blown away by the guts it takes for you to even consider it, frankly.

Go now, to the mindless threads, run like the wind!

No-one saud sassy was wwc.. whoever the hell that might be

I really believe Sassy is genuine.. If her posts were still in bereavement I think a lot of you would believe it to

SGM, thanks to you and your DH for trying to explain. My point was simply this: if MNHQ are so sure that SassySusan's posting history reveals her to be a 'troll', then presumably (as they have said) they have a way of checking such history.

If they have such a way, then why don't they use this pre-emptively? In other words, if someone is 'known' to be a 'troll' and so banned from MN, how can that person later return to MN and start posting again, with the same posting history, without being automatically banned? Why isn't there a means of automatically flagging that posting history, and banning the poster from posting again under a new name?

And a disclaimer: this is a question about theory. I really do not believe that SassySusan's posts about her daughter Catherine are fake.

Sassy has updated her blog here

justine said SS was WWC. I thought that bit of it at least was beyond dispute.

That update has confused me more.

Is it accurate, the stuff she mentions about what MNHQ have said about her? Did they say it was highly unlikely she was bereaved -- did they (as opposed to other posters) really say she had tried to extort money? Where? Sorry, bit .

I guess what is clear is that she denies being WWC. Yet MNHQ seem very sure she was WWC.
