As I spent most of my time here..I thought I'd use it to say goodbye

[ThePosieParker]

As starkly reminded by recent threads, MN is not the sort of place that I feel very safe, with or without anonymity. I don't expect to be missed, I have often been quite and outspoken bitch on here and haven't exactly made a lot of friends. I am delighted to have met some of the feminists, and will hopefully see them again. But twice in two weeks I've had PMs reminding me of things I've posted about my husband and I'm really upset about it. For me MN has been a quick knee jerk experience, one that captures my mood at any moment. So toodle pip.....about time I did more with the dcs anyway.

I am really aware that this is an attention seeking thread, but I just wanted MN to know that I won't be the only one leaving when apparent heartbreak (not mine) is fodder for someone's 'shit stirring Sunday'.....

Toodle pip, have fun with the DCs. I find myself getting too involved too and keep trying to go...but the lure of MN on my phone when stuck under a sleeping baby is too strong! (Like now...)

That is awful Posie. Do you mean people have PMd you with nasty messages?

{I secretly hope now I've posted this that I really will have to stop!!}

This place is bonkers lately, why not just take a break? i enjoy your posts posie (even though we have had our run ins) will be sorry to see you leave

I'm sure MN would delete the threads about your H if you asked them to. I too remember that you have had quite a bit of trouble with him in the past and have vented here - nothing wrong with that, but you are quite identifiable and had photos up etc.

Maybe you could have a break and come back with a new name if you feel like it.

Pm about your husband !! How odd

Actually hadn't seen you around much til this week!

Mentioning my other posting names and details of things I posted, talking about my perfect persona and how it doesn't tally with my life...... bit chilling really. I can't imagine doing that myself.

I don't know I have been made to feel very vulnerable....perhaps I'll ask MN to delete posts anyway. They may do.

Posie just name change.

That's what I always do.

It is always a little unnerving when you think that your anonymity has been compromised, but really this place is so big, that a name change usually sorts it out and only your "friends" recognise you from it.

And we need you on the feminism threads!

Yes, thanks.....best go and talk to the dcs!!

Yeah, fuck that shit. Namechange and stick around for God's sake (not that I agree with you on much but )

YABU

I often agree with your posts, though the only time we've 'met' on a thread we were on different sides of a bunfight
Hope you decide to come back, mn needs outspoken feminists.

I'll miss you Posie as well. Hope to see you back.

I have enjoyed your posts on the feminism threads. Hopefully you'll pop in from time to time.

[I am secretly laughing (and crying) about the amount of people that will miss me but for all the wrong reasons....]

Bloody hell, Posie, that's awful. Think you should report whomever PM'd you. That just stinks.

If you need to take a break and ask MN to delete your posting history.

That is a total abuse of the pm system- please let hq know. And for god's sake don't leave: we need as many good eggs as possible here at the moment. Maybe just take a break?

Fuck, I'll have to bugger off myself at this rate.

Posie , if you "secretly" dont want to go , then don't.
Maybe your title should have been

PLEASE GIVE ME REASON TO WANT TO STAY.

There is always gonna be someone who feeds off others shit, (eventually they start to smell and people steer clear anyhows)

I have been on many many forums and have only frequented this one in the last few weeks, but on any forum , there is always and has always been the nasty crew comments shrugs. MN is so big so statistically will get more i guess , but bottom line is no matter where you go its gonna happen.

Of all the forums I have been on I can honestly say that MN is the least huggy, fluffy, batting eyed, forum I have seen but it is also supportive in a honest and practical way,with lots of people who call a spade a shovel but surely honesty is better than a honey covered verbal band-aid. Maybe some people need to pick their areas with a bit more thought.It doesnt take long being here to figure not to go to AIBU if you are feeling particularly fragile.

Maybe a "what would you do" thread would be a bit gentler.

And if a shit stirring Sunday poster does post I am sure the less fragile posters will deal with it accordingly. Most people on here soon decipher if a Post is for real or just a gossip-shit-stirring-bored-with-their-own-lives thread,

Whatever you decide I hope you find what you are looking for, even if it is just time with the kids.
Peace

ooh that's weird! People can be so creepy!
