Absolutely disgusted at the way I have been treated, will be making this as public as I can... came here with a real problem, have been accused of being a liar and basically being bullied... cannot believe this site is still here!

Correction: 1 idiot!

PinotsKittensAreAYearOldToday · 18/04/2012 09:34

just look at all the fucks I give

DidISayThatOutLoud · 18/04/2012 09:34

I won't change my name..because like I say I haven't done anything wrong... but also I have been getting inbox messages from people who are going through similar things to me, and to be able to write back and say yes it's shit, but keep up the hard work is worth more than people making yuk comments. Being a carer is bloody hard and can be really lonely...
As for what it suggests about me... does nobody have those moments when they say something, then go red and think "oh did I really say that?" it's usually when I'm trying to be funny..and completely failing...
I was first thinking about being called "willowinthewind" but thought why not go for something a little more upbeat...like me? I didn't actually think it could be misinterpreted, but everyone sees things from a different view.
I think if I ever join a new site, I will definitely be having a look before writing anything, :S, but I had read a few threads from google links and they all seemed perfectly fine.
And as for bounceback... if you had seen my original thread you'd know why I am the bounce back queen :D hard to avoid hassle when it is your daily life..
I am usually the first one to hold my hands up when I'm being a twat THEADORAKIS..hence why I've apologised so many times for completely over-reacting...haha another "did I say that out loud moment I guess" BUT... I was being nice on my thread, and it took a long time for me to take the bait, if you read through the comments... I don't think I was coming across as anything but someone who needed a shoulder for a few mins and was grateful for the support...which is exactly what I was.
Still... I was naive in thinking no one would be bitchy... Unfortunately babyheave.. they didn't think I was a newbie...? OH WELLL.... xxxx Sorry about my essay btw xxx

didIsaythat, i deliberately didn't read your original post, it's not for me to judge. I feel I have to defend the awesome MN people but don't get me wrong, the vile bullies suck

DidISayThatOutLoud · 18/04/2012 09:58

Fair one Theodorakis!!! x

Just let the horrible replies wash over your head OP. There are far more nicer posters on here than horrible ones and probably best avoid AIBU if you are of a sensitive disposition

DidISayThatOutLoud · 18/04/2012 10:02

you tell me this now!!! :D

Timing is a bit important on these threads. Later at night apparently is more hazardous.Early in the morning, and school runs there arent so many posters about. And around 4pm may not be the time to want answers for eg health, relationships etc as the treads can disappear off the actives board in about 5 minutes, and not necessarily get commented on again later.

DidISayThatOutLoud · 18/04/2012 10:08

Thanks amillion... not the kind of thing I would've thought about! :S

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'm sure MN will shut down just for you. Why not ask?

porcamiseria · 18/04/2012 10:20

I need to see the thread first !!!!!!! linky

DidISayThatOutLoud · 18/04/2012 10:24

I don't know how to link? it is called, "feeling hard done by" with a sad face on the end.

I know for a fact it's not just me who was made to feel like that Funny, becuase people have been messaging me... I already said I over-reacted, I don't feel the need to KEEP apologising for that.
It was just my rant in the heat of the moment!

i have failed to spell gathers [arsehead]

MickyDodger · 18/04/2012 10:33

ha ha ha! You don't like a bit of straight talking so you think you can get a site of 10 years standing and hundreds of thousands of members shut down? Jaysus, god complex much?

FunnysInLaJardin · 18/04/2012 10:33

now DidI don't start getting cross again. We've all been there and the best MN lesson you can learn is how to laugh at yourself and also when to leave a thread alone even where you are the OP and let it fizzle out if it carries on upsetting you. The more you post the more ammo you give folk. Esp true on AIBU. Next time try chat Grin

LtEveDallas · 18/04/2012 10:34

The original thread was a bit [confused} and became quite nasty, this one ill-advised (although I applaud the OPs good humour and 'dunkirk spirit' about it all), but I must admit, seeing a further thread talking about this OP 'behind her back' so to speak was a bit off. It's made me question a few posters motives.

I can't stand all the wishy washy troll hunting. We all know we aren't supposed to do it, so either:

  1. Don't do it, report the thread, then hide it and the OP doesn't get any oxygen. or
  2. Post "OP I think you are a Troll because you said XYZ on ABC thread that is at odds with what you said here. Also you spelled XYZ as XYaZ on 3 threads so I know that you and OP123 are the same person"

But to be sly about it, insinuate things just makes for a thread full of deletions and "OMG PM Me!" posts - what is the point?

DidISayThatOutLoud · 18/04/2012 10:39

No Funny...no more cross(ness) here!!! :D

Micky, yes my head was up my ass for a while but you'll be happy to know it has now been firmly removed!
