why do some posters say "have name changed but am a regular"??

[workinggally]

I don't get it.

Can we forget about the plumber?

THANK GOD in Chat so long gone now

Ta V much. I found a website with lots of really odd words. I shall be amusing myself for a while

i need to get out more.

oh, no, nobody's ever going to forget, dear

all gone now

That's what you think...

I remember the plumber.

HA HA HA HA HA

that was bof, not me! I innocently texted him happy xmas back and before i knew it he was talking about anal sex.

Jesus!

A to the R to the motherfucking F

fucking annoys me too

i find the list of 'Mn things' funny usually..

mine would be 'pampas grass, pombears, dead hamster poetry'

or 'dave the hairy trucker, spreadsheets, that buggerous Bat'.

it's kind of your MN experience in a capsule. Some of the namechangers are really obvious and i know straight away who they are. some not.

and Shiney, the plumber may have een BOF, but the waiter was you!

The plumber wasn't me! I merely live-blogged Shiney's shame...

Do those answers help you op?

What's to stop a troll from saying "I'm a regular but I've name-changed"? It sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Yes, I think many trolls have cottoned on to that disclaimer.

Perhaps they have had a super injunction under the old name.

Workinggally...If you dont GET IT its not good blaming mumsneters have you tried a dating agency.

SERIOUSLY...Mumnet make the rules here and NOT us humble mumsnet
posters. I think we may make rather ineficcient Managers of the sites.

And I hope you GET IT very soon.

What I like best is this:

First post: I've namechanged because this is embarrassing but I am a regular - red rug/cube of poo whatever (or penguins/pouffe of poo for newer "regulars")
Second post: Oh fuck

:o

I namechange often, for several of the reasons mentioned above - I have discussed in detaill my kids medical conditions and their school, which outs me to anyone in RL

I have discussed very personal issues about sex and marriage - which i want noone else to know!

I have been very open about the stillbirth of a child and tried on many occassions to offer support to others going through tough times

I need different names for all these, cos I dont want the whole playground knowing my business

i dont agree with the namechangers who namechange all the time to hide their trolling/bullying/stalking of other people on here though

Whater nickname we use here ; it has no real validity except on mumsnet.

I dont think there is any future in us trying to run the sites. But we must keep posting on them; because thats what Mumsnet want. They thrive because we post.

SO my advice would be stop your niggling jock (Even if you are English)

Do we have many people posting from foreirn countries. I had an Aussie the other week

And I had a newspaer ring me 2 weeks ago. (so maybe we are better known than we think) Hmmmm

That would make a good thread Eggy.

Mine would be: MN regular namechanged for this..StrawberryShortcake, Bedroomy Things, What the Jeff.

I'm a newbie (and regular, damn you MN you're addictive)and am delighted you can actually change your name, we weren't allowed on another site.... you had to get banned first.

I should think I'll probably name change at some point purely because I can, and not too keen on my nickname either. I think it enables people to talk about more sensitive issues or, after a spat feel free to continue posting without past threads being brought up again and again.
