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'.....

Never was a poster less aptly-named.

Oh dear Posie, I have read your posts/threads and enjoy reading them. No need to go forever just like others have suggested, take a break and a namechange. That is awful that you have been targeted like that, totally uncalled for, could you not report them to MN. Really AIBU is not always the right place to post for advice, if you have relationship problems you could try the relationships thread. I had a couple of MC in the past year, and found the MC thread so supportive, you get a different set of people that would not normally see on AIBU.

What I like about Posie is she isn't afraid to stand with a single poster who's being flamed to hell and say her bit. She doesn't do piling in either

MogadoredMemoo · 22/02/2011 18:54

or someone pleeease Pm me

BitOfFun · 22/02/2011 18:54

If I said Twat Of The Week, you'd probably guess it easily enough.

omnishambles · 22/02/2011 18:55

Posie - just namechange - I'm doing it a lot now and it really helps with all the shit stirring.

Wil you still be coming to the next FIL?

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 22/02/2011 18:56

BoF - nah - too many to choose from at the moment Grin

I'd hazzard a guess but don't want to start a bunfight!

This threatening behaviour goes against the spirit of MN, and its not what its about. Even if I totally disagree with a poster I would never threaten them and be nasty and vicious. Its all about different opinions.

What is a FIL ? I'm assuming you aren't all piling in one somebodies FatherInLaw Grin

SarahBumBarer · 22/02/2011 18:58

Posie - I'll be sorry to see you go. I'm not great at remembering mn names much less their backstories or leanings but there are a number of posters on here that I recognise. Most seem to toe what I see as the mn line. You are one of the few that I recognise who dare to be different.

I have posted under a couple of names but not at all prolifically. I use one name to discuss a particular family issue I have and do not mention it at all under any other name. I came in for a lot if flak over one of my posts recently on that issue (I felt like there was deliberate misunderstanding of my post in order to be argumentative) and received some lovely supportive pm's. While much appreciated, I wonder if prior to the pm system those messagers would instead have posted on the open forum rendering the discussion more useful (and making me feel less isolated). That I guess is another dark side of the pm system.

gilbonzothesecretpsychoduck · 22/02/2011 18:59

Can someone pm me who it was. After reading the thread I have a feeling I know but I just want to be sure I'm going to be ignoring the right person and I'm very nosey Grin

BrianAndHisBalls · 22/02/2011 18:59

you're not narrowing it down bof Grin
