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 am indeed real. Just not an actual fluffy panda. I did do kung-fu though...

TalcAndTurnips · 18/05/2012 14:56

Mardy - if you do ever decide to change your wonderful moniker (Sad) - will you do it very publicly, preferably on name-changey-style thread?

eg: Mardy's NN Change Thread - please think of stuff that will anagram well

Then we can all join in and think up some FILTH that will have sniffy MNers grasping frantically for the Report Button in their incensed state.

Just don't appear one day with a new name because I will feel bereft.

Charleymouse · 18/05/2012 14:58

Phew that's okay then.

JosieZ · 18/05/2012 14:59

I am a pleasant, supportive, sympathetic poster Smile

up until the 6pm glass of vino or two after which I am a pushy rottweiller Angry

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 15:01

Grin I will bear those very specific instructions in mind talcy. I get the feeling, though, that I've been recognised by someone in RL, but I might just be paranoid.

TheWomanFormerlyKnownAsSGM · 18/05/2012 15:02

I have been name-changing since The Incident. Everyone knew it was me though. But, I'm enjoying name-changing now.

TalcAndTurnips · 18/05/2012 15:02

Mardy - pray do tell us more. What makes you think that?

SarahStratton · 18/05/2012 15:02

I thought Coco Le Pew was Pepe's girlfriend. Confused

As for tsc wtaf?

TheWomanFormerlyKnownAsSGM · 18/05/2012 15:03

But not very steathy.

TwllBach · 18/05/2012 15:04

Is it bad that I recognise an awful lot of your names? Clearly I have an all consuming MN addiction...

Hully makes me laugh and seems to me to take the piss a lot. I feel I responded well to a sarky post on a thread I started about my wedding. But I have seen her be very kind to posters as well, especially recently.

MardyBra I think is the poster that got told off by MNHQ and has been very vocally well behaved since Grin

Apart from that, I recognise peoples like Kayano ABF and Worra but I do have a rather poor memory, so I can't remember from one thread to the next who I tend to agree with and who I give a mental fuck off too.

OracleInaCoracle · 18/05/2012 15:05

I dont know any of you! Wink

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 15:05

Just a comment from someone wearing a distinctive MN scarf the other day. She definitely had me logged as a MNer but I wasn't sure if she knew which one. I try not to give out too many defining details, so maybe it was my turn of phrase or something.

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 15:06

I got told off?

Seriously? When?

I've had the odd deleted post like most of us, but don't remember a bollocking.

TwllBach · 18/05/2012 15:09

Eek sorry Mardy I obviously have it wrong.

Do I mean MaryZ? I think I do...

SarahStratton · 18/05/2012 15:10

You do mean Maryz. Grin

FrankWippery · 18/05/2012 15:10

WTF is Oracle? Grin

Hullygully · 18/05/2012 15:12

I'm not sarky either and I never comment on weddings. But I am very beautiful and kind.

FrankWippery · 18/05/2012 15:13

Where is Maryz anyway? Not seen her about in ages.

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 15:13

Phew.

Wondered what I'd done wrong there.

Although I don't mind being confused with Maryz.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 18/05/2012 15:13

With a lovely mane [grin-2

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 15:13

Yes Hully you are very beautiful....for a mid 50 year old with a generous figure and a penchant for floral pinnies and sensible sandals

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 18/05/2012 15:14

In my hurry bit to xpost I messed my Grin up. And X posted anyway
