I have wondered about this. There are some definite "characters" here.

Aha another person. I wondered if you were all fictitious and I was in my own version of the Truman Show.

Nah, they've got far too much to do by the look of it over the whole site.

Anyway, there's more than enough nut jobs on the internet for them not to have to bother Grin

Are you a sockpuppet mardy [wave] you do seem to start a lot of controversial threads?!
Or is it just a phase Grin

MardyBra · 02/09/2011 00:18

We could speculate who their alter egos are... Justine is really...

Hahahahahaha! The Truman Show. Exactly.

MardyBra · 02/09/2011 00:21

Dorje - I am a figment of your imagination.

I thought it was common knowledge Wink

Anyone trying to deny their existance is obviously in the pay of MNHQ, spreading sockpuppetry around the boards.

usualsuspect · 02/09/2011 00:22

It is like groundhog day on here though

some people know what chain to yank

sunshinelifeisgood · 02/09/2011 00:22

actually was just thinking mumsnet is a bit boring these days, came on looking for a real funny thread and its soooo fecking boring

MardyBra · 02/09/2011 00:23

Controversial - moi? Possibly one recently. Mostly pissing around the rest of the time.

MardyBra · 02/09/2011 00:26

Sunshine - everyone is being boring because if you express a non MN approved opinion you are either a) flamed or b) a troll.

Stares back at Ziggers and doesn't let on I know she runs NetHuns HQ

Hmm When will people realise?

michelleseashell · 02/09/2011 00:30

I'll wager this thread is a double bluff!

AgentZigzag · 02/09/2011 00:31

Shock you. take. that. back.

Mwahahaha

MumblingRagDoll · 02/09/2011 00:32

Like insider trolling?

sunshinelifeisgood · 02/09/2011 00:33

mardy: going to be honest I come on to mumsnet for a little release from the outstide world so I watch and sometimes reply to threads. I laugh at them and sometimes have a little tear (im not fecking heartless), however this site is so fecking boring now. There are so many threads on AIBU that are truly shite but make you laugh and forget about your own worries and those are the ones that make life seem ok.....

Before anyone jumps on "get a life" I have one..

MardyBra · 02/09/2011 00:33

Oh Michelle. Interesting theory. So you are speculating that I am the sockpuppet but posting this to put people off...

OP posts:
worraliberty · 02/09/2011 00:34

Leave your pussy alone...you hussy Shock

Can I have a ticker that says how many days since my last nervous breakdown? Grin

MardyBra · 02/09/2011 00:36

Sunshine. Agree wholeheartedly. If there was a "like" button, I'd press it.

OP posts:
LeBOF · 02/09/2011 00:36

I'm convinced they pay Cod a small retainer to occasionally throw out something vaguely offensive Grin

Stealth boast Shock

sunshinelifeisgood · 02/09/2011 00:38
