Haha, realise I am probably going to get shot down in flames for being self-indulgent and attention seeking, but hope for a few answers also....

I build up a picture of MNets in my head from what they write, how they write and the subjects they post on. Sometimes I come across an opinion on a thread from a poster that really suprises me because Otto doesn't fit with the impression I had of that poster and so my poster persona evolves. I love eclectic 'odd' people in RL, so I really enjoy not being able to pigeon hole people

I have always been a bit fascinated by how other peoples interpretations of words and actions can be very different from the intention. And also how people can be very different depending what company they are in....

So, it occurred to me today, MN is a perfect opportunity to ask alias of people 'what do you think of me?' (if anything)!

I can't recall seeing any of your posts so you might be unmemorable - or far more likely you post on threads which haven't captured my attention!

What sort of things do you say - give us a flavour.

dog and bone come to mind :)

not that i am calling you a dog

Mumsnet is such a busy place with so many posters that I haven't really formed much of an opinion of anyone if I'm honest! I could count on the fingers of one hand the names that I really recognise and have an opinion of. Your name looks recognisable to me but I don't feel I 'know' you enough to think anything one way or the other. It feels like the equivalent of a big city where you rarely bump into someone you know.

Flisspaps · 17/05/2012 22:13

Do you mean what do we think you look like?

bibbitybobbitybunny · 17/05/2012 22:13

I have only noticed you on one other thread I have been on, but I would say you are self-indulgent and attention seeking.

AuntieMaggie · 17/05/2012 22:14

Dare i ask about me?

LingDiLong · 17/05/2012 22:15

Ah now Bibbity I recognise because she always makes me larf.

Can't really say I have noticed you enough to of formed an opinion. I am relatively new on here, and the only poster who I have noticed is LeQueen(I think that is what her username is) and I think that she has been through an awful lot, and is an incredible mother/partner for it going by her posts. I don't know her, but I still find myself having a lot of respect for her.

LingDiLong · 17/05/2012 22:21

Oh ditto Warren. I like your posts; spiky, you say what I'd say if I wasn't such a wussy, sit on the fence, woolly liberal type.

Well I am indeed very tetchy, well-spotted Warren.

LingDiLong · 17/05/2012 22:40

Spiky in a good way, like Charlie Brooker.

tethersend · 17/05/2012 22:42

Enough about me; what do you think about me?

CrispyCod · 17/05/2012 22:44

I've seen you all over a few threads recently, quite gobby and you get stuck in Grin

bejeezus · 17/05/2012 22:48

Ah roxy i cant give you a flavour- that would defeat the object

freudain haha...yes I agree with that assessment of me!

fliss yes that as well- any impression you have at all

bibbity which thread was that?

Ah auntiemaggie I dont recognise your user name sorry

fuckingWarren I recognise you because I like sweary user names. You make me laff. and I think I usually agree with your POV. But havent a huge opinion on you. You are direct I think and sarcastic??? I like sarcastic and direct....

.....haha...just read further posts---i see i am correct! Yes, I get the impression Lequeen has a charmed life? Confused see-how wrong i can be..

bejeezus · 17/05/2012 22:49

yes ling it is a really big place innit-how many posters do you reckon there are????

OP posts:
titfortat · 17/05/2012 22:49

As I said, I am fairly new so she could be the face of a wanted poster for all I know. And have no idea really what you are on about with that reply MyName. Maybe down to being newish, or maybe down to being slow due to the wine.

Pfft, who am I kidding. I am just slow all the time...

bejeezus · 17/05/2012 22:51

Oooo..tethers you are one of my surprising people.....sometimes I completely agree with you, and sometimes I really dont!

bibbitybobbitybunny · 17/05/2012 22:54
