From another MN'tter?

Won't say who or specifically what it says but a very defensive PM about breastfeeding and SIDS and how it is wrong to misinform people?? WTF??

Have you been talking about breastfeeding and SIDS?

Thingumy · 27/10/2011 19:13

Why don't you pm her/him back and ask.

carabos · 27/10/2011 19:13

I got one the other day that said nothing at all about anything [hconfused].

ScarahStratton · 27/10/2011 19:13

Got the wrong poster maybe? I was spamming Buppers last week and PM'd the wrong person by mistake. Got a PM from a very confused poster. [hblush]

Not quite sure why you're posting - report it if it's mean, reply or ignore if not, surely? If you won't say who or what (not that I think you should), what do you expect everyone to say? YABU? YANBU? YIBBLE?

There was quite a twatty thread about bf and SIDS a few days ago, maybe it's a case of mistaken identity? Unless you started the twatty thread obviously Grin

I've said nothing on the topic. The only thing I can think of is the thread in AIBU that was pulled 2 days ago, but I didn't say much on it, just gave a Biscuit to the incoherent OP (and I am not sure the OP is the same person?). Have replied to the PM, no response Hmm.

I had some very strange PMs when I first joined here Grin

They said things like

"Welcome back, nice name change"

"So you claim to be a newbie? Hmm bit opinionated for a newbie aren't you"

I had a mental image of them rocking on the front porch...stroking their beards and thinking "Arrrr she's not from round these ere parts is she?" Grin

Totally bonkers...but one of the reasons I decided to stay I suppose.

I feel at home with bonkers people Grin

I don't think I've ever had a PM, I thought your were talking about David Cameron :) Breastfeeding is an emotive subject for a lot of people.

ImperialBlether · 27/10/2011 20:32

Grin @ worraliberty.

I got a strange one - think it was just a very strange woman.

HairyBeaver · 27/10/2011 20:34

[henvy] I've never had a random PM

ballstoit · 27/10/2011 20:37

Hmm Pekka no wonder the country's going to the dogs if David Cameron has nothing better to do than pretend to be a banana and send random messages to mnetters Grin

ToothbrushThief · 27/10/2011 20:38

I had a journalist (except she never admitted that bit) PM me. She made enquiries regarding an old post. When I expressed surprise at her interest, she lied. Had she been honest and asked me for background/comments etc I'd have given her a story (instead of her giving me one). I hate liars.

HairyBeaver · 27/10/2011 20:46

Thank you random MN'ers for my random PM's Grin

I retract me [henvy] now and don't feel left out now [hwink]

WitchesAreComing · 27/10/2011 20:47

HairyBeaver I would send this via PM but you might report me I want to share the joy so there are lots here

If anyone wants to PM me about the rants of an Asian Albino Dwarf and solitaire then that's fine too.

NorfolkNChance · 27/10/2011 20:49

I've never had a PM full stop.

ItsonlymeMrsDB · 27/10/2011 20:51

Norfolk

You have now. Smile

HairyBeaver · 27/10/2011 20:55

witches some of them made me chuckle! I wouldn't of reported you either [hwink]

NorfolkNChance · 27/10/2011 21:00

WAHOO!

TandB · 27/10/2011 22:02

BoF PMd me once to offer me pictures of her neighbour in her nightclothes.

But she's like that.

Icelollycraving · 27/10/2011 22:07

Boo never had a pm. Harrumph.

Kayano · 27/10/2011 22:12
