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'.....

Just report the wanky PMs and namechange

Do you have to get up extra early to practice sounding like a nasty twat, janiesmum?

Posie, really will be sorry to see you go

hope things work out for you

MN is different to how it was, but twas ever thus... still lots of nice stuff going on, you have to sift through a lot of crap at the moment, but it's still worth it

very grown women think PMing you with threats is in anyway defensible or apporpriate

Janie....actually I wanted to highlight the recent episodes on MN as having an affect. This isn't a please don't go thread, although I am enjoying that somewhat who wouldn't?, this is more about the mutation of MN and the problems that go with it.

I got called a know it all c*nt recently, so this place deffo changed if posters don't know boundaries wrt to MN royalty anymore

TPP no idea what hs happened (peachy btw, MN asked me to come back) but you will be missed.

have a break and see.

But you know I do think there will be a MN tragedy one day. I stay becuase I am a patsy possibly the person with the knowledge to help someone, but it scares me.

Nobody but nobody here is immune to heartbreak, tragedy- all the tings they seemingly want to feed from. I don;t wish bad things on anyone, but I wish for a moment there was a way to make people understand how it feels just for a moment without them having the whole package.

Whatever tou do, stay or go, good luck. And fuck em all.

.scottishmummy often says 'words on a screen' but it's not. It's someone typing words on a screen, someone's feelings, someone's emotions, problems, typing words on a screen....

I agree. I often use scottishmummy's mantra as a flip riposte to being bleeeee'd at but it does get to you when someone is vile to you on here. I've had to turn the laptop off before now because I thought I might well cry explode.

I don't think our paths have crossed Posie, but please don't let the arseholes on here drive you away.

Janie - there was no need for that.

Bye. Never liked you anyway.

I tried to leave once. That went well.

Another vote from me to report those PM's to MNHQ & then Name change posie .
Or you could Name & shame the person sending the PM's .

So very true.

Posie, I hope that you will stay. When I first discovered MN ( I had a different name back then), you were on the first thread that I read and I realised that this was the place for me, so I really will miss seeing you around. Sometimes I agree with you and sometimes not, but you do come across as a nice person. If you are truly no longer happy here, then fair enough, leave, but please don't let that choice be made for you by other people. I think you contribute a lot here, so hope you choose not to go.

Either way, best wishes for the future

yeah lenin, i did snort a bit after feeling really aggrieved ! if it kept happneing, and i had received PMs etc, definitely would be thinking about bieng offski.

Posie, dont always agree with you but am cross at the abuse of the pm system making you want to go. Some posting behaviour verges on cruelty these days.

Can I tell them who it is?

Janiesmum is right in a way though. If a less known poster had started this thread they'd have got the same response.

Posie
Don't go. Do report the PMs. That is so out of order. I don't always agree with you but enjoy your posts.

LOL at Lulumaam. Sorry.

Out them! If they are tough enough to send intimidating PMs to someone, they are tough enough to find out what everyone thinks of it

BOF do you know who sent the Pm's ?

BitOfFun, it won't serve any purpose! But thanks anyway. I think the past weeks MN activity has shown the awfulness that can come from belonging to an internet forum. She isn't the only one abusing the system and saying things about past threads, in a 'I know and you know your life is shit....type way. I was friends with her on Twitter also and so have really made myself vulnerable.

I've never been happy with the change from CAT to PM and this is why.

Posie - please don't leave because PMing is being abused. Just report it and MN will be able to give the offenders a dressing down.

But again, if you post personal information and have your photos up, and keep your PM box open, you can hardly complain that people (even the obviously deranged) use those functions.

I'm not a fan of the flouncy exit, myself.

Gemsybunchofnumbers - maybe a less well known poster wouldn't have got weirdy PM's. And actually I disagree, if anyone had posted that they had received some PM's that made them nervous, they would have been treated in the same way. ie: told to report PMs, name change and carry on.
