to think that, however well intentioned, favourite MNer threads can reinforce the clique-y image some have of MN and

[MardyBra]

be hurtful to anyone left out.

And unfortunately, because of the large numbers of MNers, there are inevitably going to be lots of lovely lovely posters who don't get a mention. (btw, I would love to have a with all those who kindly mentioned me, annd loads more too).

Sarah is right too. People have all kinds of asons for being on here. Some are housebound, others are very shy. No-oneneeds to justify themselves. Especially not because they are well liked.

I am posting too slowly. If I was posting in real time you'd all be going ah yes. Good point.

Or if I put the name of the poster I was addressing that would help.

As would a big coffee and an aspirin.

Wow...Bitter much?

I would never go 'Oi! What about me?' If I didn't get a mention I would just slope off with dignity and rise above it all and pretend I hadn't seen the thread. I think as soon as you resort to 'what about me?' you lose.

Ok that sounded like I have thought about this a tad too much. I came over a bit Monica Geller there.

I look at the thread title think "what a bunch of saddos" and hide the thread [shrug]

Oh I don't Fell, I think it's like birthdays, if you're going to be upset that not many people remembered, fix them with a beady glare and intone IT'S MY BIRTHDAY ON X, and then you get lots of cards and happiness. You know it makes sense.

Who'a bitter JH?

it is also possible to post on here a lot and not be "on here" that much, dipping in and out.

They never end well Maryz.

All this 'you're namechecked so you must be a saddo with no life to post so much' business does scratch my nips a little. Coming, as it does, from a position of such ignorance and crass generalisation and all.

Still, if it makes people feel better to make slightly bitter assumptions about others, I guess that's fine . I save my bitterness and spite for minor slebs myself, I find it more rewarding.

now everyone will be thinking it's them Mary!

I have only ever seen one shit-list type thread, I assume they usually pfft before I get there? Blimey, I could have been on all of them and not know

you were Sue you were

Feck off Hully. Now you've made me cry.

THE TRUTH HURTS

But there is strength in pain, Sue.

There are some people whose shitlist I'd be upset NOT to be on, to be fair

ooooo see now I feel crappola as for the first time ever yesterday I named people. I normally avoid it.

I was also very very shit at naming people and took about 8 attempts.

Sue you have reminded me, every time I see that thread in Active Convo I wonder, is is a thread about Peter Andres Purple Glittery Cock, and a cocktail emporium? Or is it a purple glittery cock and cocktail emporium belonging to PA?

no one ever posts on em tho. thank god.

And you didn't name me, Pinot

not the cock ones, the shitlist ones
