From my observations.

OP posts:
JinnyS · 25/11/2010 10:48

Have there been many other threads like this? They usually crop up pretty regularly on t'internet.

Makes me wonder how many people think like this in real life Shock

It is better to be under the radar style poster as every three years there is a cull and all the high profile posters get shot. moldiiegate was just a cover story for the last masacre - like when you tell kids that the dog must have run away to live on a farm or the goldfish made his way to the ocean like nemo

JinnyS · 25/11/2010 10:54

moldiiegate?

Suncottage · 25/11/2010 10:54

makes you want fish paste sandwiches instead

No-one knows who I am.

Well, my SIL does and I have a RL friend who also posts here. But I am dull, basically.

2blessed2bstressed · 25/11/2010 11:00

LeQueen, any chance of a loan of a rod?

pagwatch · 25/11/2010 11:03

No no LeQueen, of course fluffy went to the farm to play... I was talking about other dogs. other dogs not belonging to anyone on here or potentially reading this. And of course too anyone on here who had a goldfish - yours actually did mange the leap and short run to the loo or sink....
Of course.....really

ChickensHaveNoMercyForTurkeys · 25/11/2010 11:03

If being noticed matters to you a lot, choose something outrageous and normalise it eg. 'Yes, I can see that vegetables are important to a growing childs diet so I give my DS vitamin pills with his daily chips' or 'I think that children who aren't overweight are unloved' etc. Of course, everyone will flame you but your name will go down in MN history.

SuePurblybiltByElves · 25/11/2010 11:04

I think I know who you are Noah. Did you have a DS called Noah and were you looking for Noah stuff? Was that you?

A spreadsheet of those I have offended/who have pissed me off would be handy. But I fear it would be Taking It Too Far Hmm

santasbluebaubles · 25/11/2010 11:06

I post every day under a variety of topics and have done for over a year because it distracts me from housework--. No one knows who I am or seems to remeber that they have "spoken" to me before .

Obviously they would be even less likely too now due to the xmas name Grin

nickeldonkeyonadustyroad · 25/11/2010 11:06

you have to find someone to stalk - it's true.

or muscle in on a thread and then take it over. (spoons forks knives)

You wouldn't believe the joy I feel when someone remembers who I am! Grin (oh and Blush ) but that's because I've been here for 2 years and I just post loads.

OP - if you recognise names, then say hello to them in a thread (not like like the quichy ones do, but say "oh name didn't you say such and such about this before?"
and keep up with the namechanges - it's easier to remember who eveyone is if yo uacknowldge their old name as soon as you work out who they are.

(I'm a desperate soul begging for friends! Confused )

Go on fly thread we love everyone in a karma sort of way.Everyones important there but only really if you like lists Bear

santasbluebaubles · 25/11/2010 11:06

And I can't even strike out a word properly

housework

Oh. yes I can.

TrillianAstra · 25/11/2010 11:08

Yes, ruby is close by too... of course if I did bump into either of you on Burleigh Street (even literally) none of us would have a clue.

Nuttybear · 25/11/2010 11:09

pagwatch LOL now I must do some work!!!!

bupcakesandcunting · 25/11/2010 11:27

SuePurbly is one of the few I actually like. 'Er and ShirleyKnot. Set o' bastards,they are.

Riven and Pagwatch I always get confused. Pagwatch is the one who has a house/family that look like an OK photoshoot, am I right? {grin]

toddlerama · 25/11/2010 11:46

Right, now I know this has possibly been explained into oblivion already, but I still don't get it....quiche instead of clique? Why? ????

Unrulysun · 25/11/2010 11:48

I thinkif I were doing this during short periods of time when I wasn't performing brain surgery my relative status would matter more than it does now (when it's more about avoiding having to watch Kim and Aggie clean a goth's toilet.)

Serendippy · 25/11/2010 11:52

The trick it to call yourself a name like a regular poster, so Raven, AniFucker, Pagwitch, LaQueen, HullySully will allow you access to the VIP areas of MN (you didn't even know they existed, did you, clearly you are a nobody) and you can insult and ridicule to your heart's delight and then bugger off, safe in the knowledge that all comments will be attributed to someone else.

You're welcome.

Hullygully · 25/11/2010 11:54

It's also useful when you want lots of people to agree with you. Just make them up.

TrillianAstra · 25/11/2010 11:56

Serendippy - I have a stalker who does that, it's very weird when she starts talking about her children (as I am famously child-free Wink)

Serendippy · 25/11/2010 12:01

Oooh, what's your stalker's name? Is it something simple like just rmoving one l? TrilianAstra? You could imitate GOML by simply improving the spelling, GetOffMyLand, poor dear is very very common. Or very very posh. In fact, I think I have argued with her about this before.
