to be [hmm] about a poster when I PM them and get this...

OK so I don't often PM people, but do occassionally.

Today I tried to PM someone and when I clicked send it came up with a message:
"Sorry but PMs aren't the quickest way to get in contact with Justine..." and went on to give an MN email address to contact her at instead.

So I'm now Hmm about the OP as the implcation from this message is that this person is someone at MNHQ posting annonymously.

I might add that I also PM someone else today and didn't get that message and have never seen it before either.

Of course it could just be a bug. But I'm still rather Hmm. Especially as the OP is posting as a dad...

What would you think?

This is troll hunting at the very highest level Grin

scurryfunge · 16/02/2011 16:40

gilly, now we can all asume it has been some minor glitch, tell us who it was.

cornslik · 16/02/2011 16:40

I thought so
I read somewhere on here today that there are only 7 decent mothers in the world. Fact.

ShirleyKnot · 16/02/2011 16:41

haha @HTH. Yes, it's like "I'm going to take it to the highest level! I know...JUSTINE IS A TROLL" heheh

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 16/02/2011 16:41

That many, cornsilk? Tsk, and I thought it was only me

cornslik · 16/02/2011 16:42

you are in the top 7?

ShirleyKnot · 16/02/2011 16:43

Whatevs Chickens, You can't be one of the 7, you must be one of thse other ones what have loads of boyfriends and feed their babies dog muck.

gillybean2 · 16/02/2011 16:44

AmazingBoucingFerret I've already been PM asking who it is. So yes others are also keen to know.
As I said before I'm not happy to say as the poster may well be genuine and it could be a glitch/bug that caused this.

It is all a bit silly I know. But obviously I felt compeled by the OP to PM the poster, but now I'm feeling Hmm.
Hence why I'm asking AIBU to feel that way. Still not sure what the general opinion on that is!

Come on, justine, fess up now (or else provide a very convincing explanation).

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 16/02/2011 16:47

I was worse, Shirl. I gave them...formula

ImFab · 16/02/2011 16:48

2 hours isn't that long to wait for a reply.

BuzzLiteBeer · 16/02/2011 16:48

I bf'ed them for 17 years each...surely I'm one of the 7?

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 16/02/2011 16:51

I dunno, Buzz. What do you smell like? And have you ever raised your voice above an amused titter?

LaWeaselMys · 16/02/2011 16:52

AmazingBouncingFerret!

I just started a thread looking for you. How was your surgery?

(Will bump it in chat)

TrillianAstra · 16/02/2011 16:53

There's a troll in MNHQ the dungeons!

BuzzLiteBeer · 16/02/2011 17:01

Like the aforementioned dog food, I would say. And I have never lowered my voice below an amused titter, default setting is banshee screech.

I guess I lose, I must be an invented construct. Explains a lot

CatherineMumsnet · 16/02/2011 17:03

We've asked tech to look at this. Seems like a glitch Grin

GandalfyCarawak · 16/02/2011 17:03

Justine is obviously a troll, and so is Catherine. Ban dem!

ColdHeartedBitch · 16/02/2011 17:09

Hey What did DEM do?

southeastastra · 16/02/2011 17:10

you lot must really lack some real life spice in your lives

Absolutely, Maryz, and I'm sure they are wracking their brains for a PR solution Grin
