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'.....

Maybe because they are so fixed in their own small minded ways that can't understand that normal people are continually growing and evolving and are effected by day to day life.

Or maybe they are just fucking weirdos.

But shurely she cant stay without namechanging after this?

PeterAndreForPM · 22/02/2011 20:11

Posie...if you want someone to out her just say the word

gilbonzothesecretpsychoduck · 22/02/2011 20:11

AF's name change has been outed?? How did I miss this?

ThePosieParker · 22/02/2011 20:11

I especially think if a thread has been deleted it's likely that it was serious and sensitive, to drag that up was especially vindictive. But the poster has to live in her own skin and seems to enjoy being wholly vile to people. I'm not sure I've ever been excited about a thread in which someone is clearly distressed with a family/relationship matter. Now give me a poster that thinks prostitution is great and I'll argue to the hilt, but I wouldn't send them messages.

Whoa ! AF's name change was kind of an accident and has been duly apologised for.

Some people accept they made a mistake. Unlike others.

DameEdnaBeverage · 22/02/2011 20:14

Hear hear Lougle. No,I'm not stalking you,honest Wink just looking at this thread with disappointment that another well-known poster is having to leave due to the ridiculous actions of others. I would never think to PM a poster to shit-stir or cause upset and am shocked that others think it's o.k to do so. It's just like sending poison pen letters - cowardice by anonymity.
I would say that these people should be 'outed' but they will simply name-change and carry on. Don't know what the answer is.............

ThePosieParker · 22/02/2011 20:15

To 'out' her will just give her more of an excuse to be foul, I will let MNHQ know. Seems rather silly to start a thread and then not deal with it in the proper manner.

It would also mean people will 'bully' the 'bully' and most of the posters here are really nice women/men.

See i am really guillible & i just accept whatever people have wrote as their opinion,if it changes day to day i dont remember or care tbh.

I remember certain names but just because they have distinctive names & thats what i like about this place,you can be as anonomous as you wish.

There has been a distinct shift in the dynamics here lately though.

Hullygully · 22/02/2011 20:17

I never liked that AF.

ThePosieParker · 22/02/2011 20:17

Don't you think outing her will mean she gets more attention?

I agree, my outlook has changed since joining MN. And a lot of that has to do with advice I have read on these boards. I would hate for my previous posts and inconsistencies to be held up and shown - even in private.

Whether or not it is done on or off board, it is not acceptable.

Oblomov · 22/02/2011 20:19

I liked AF.
She and I like sausage sandwiches.
