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

[gillybean2]

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 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 . Especially as the OP is posting as a dad...

What would you think?

I have been getting tonnes of 'mumsnet is offline for a moment' for the last month or two.

Wow. Think this is the most ever posts I've had to an OP!

Wondering what the deleted posts are about... Starts to feel more paranoid than normal

MarinaResurges presumably that poster has posted before and commented on that situation? I googled and couldn't find any other posts by this particular poster so I doubt it is them (or UQD who was mentioned before!). Course they may just have name changed for this particular thread...

I think the poster I was thinking of is a regular gillybean. Well well well!

We all know Justine is really Justin, Gilly you are out of the loop,

Was I ever in the loop?! Or are you expelling me from the loop!? And what loop anyhow!? feels even more paranoid at being left/push out of the loop

Did you never wonder about her deep voice?

lolo

I would like to demand the reinstation of my troll accounts as a gesture of goodwill troll2troll.

Come on Jussa lad where you hidin'?

Come on Justine - man up & explain

It's the gentlemanly thing to do..

Do you remember Terry Wogan on Radio 2, and his references to 'the other listener'. Maybe MN is the same, and it's just me and 'the other poster', who actually has thousands of names.

Maybe...

Or maybe not...

oh lawks I'm marking my place. is mn about to implode. this is nearly as exciting as swmnbn

Marking too

TBH, I'm wondering why you'd post this here rather than just waiting for MNHQ to deal with it and reply.

Didn't anyone get the technical issue screen this afternoon?

Defo a glitch....

I was a bit grrrr as I had just typed a dazzling witty and savvy reply for someone who had been served a rascist comment and pooooffffff - it disappeared into the ether.

So if there are only 7 great mums where are the rest off us? Have we gone to Iceland?

So that's why my campaign to have trolls' posts smelling gently of poo got nowhere ...... Justine, shame on you

.

I'm so intrigued as to what the messages were in this thread that have been deleted...

rimsky - sorry, I think I started that by just writing...

Message deleted by Mumsmet

Do you think Justine et al sometimes wonder what they have created, and view as all as wayward naughtly children with a somewhat exasperated air?

GetOrf - yup. Definately.

It's aliiiiiive

Yep, Justine et al wish they could ditch the whole thing and go join NetMums, but they can't resist the lure of occassionally going on daytime telly to talk about what mums "really think"
