Kind of makes the whole anonymous internet forum a bit redundant.

Was hoping to make Mumsnet Royalty with my witty, insightful posts and wise counsel....

Talc you are such an instigator.

I'm telling!

usualsuspect · 29/07/2012 20:59

I missed the outing.

OAM2009 · 29/07/2012 20:59

Sorry, Scarlet, not guilty. have mentioned it in passing but not last week and this is first thread on subject.

If it's the thread I'm thinking of, that was quite a few weeks ago wasn't it?

Is she still bringing it up - and other things you've posted?

JodieHarsh · 29/07/2012 21:00

Oi Talc, I reckon you're famous. I have a shortlist of POSSIBLES. Purely going by your posts Grin I'm not going to RESEARCH you or anything. I just have a hunch.

I'm a bit of a lurker in AIBU (have posted in pregnancy forums) and am nervous of diving in for this reason!

Viperidae · 29/07/2012 21:02

I thought somebody was on to me a while back so namechanged for a while then changed again and feel nicely anonymous again now.

To try to be royalty seems to require too much effort for me, anonymity beats all that trying hands down!

WorraLiberty · 29/07/2012 21:02

Let me guess

You walked into the school playground on the last day of term and all the Mums were talking about your hairless fanjo and your P&C parking misdemeanors?

HellonHeels · 29/07/2012 21:02

Name change, stop aiming to be "Mumsnet royalty" (Not sure if you're being serious with that, does anyone really care?!) and stop being bitchy - that should ensure you remain anonymous in future.

landofsoapandglory · 29/07/2012 21:02

I was outed. I was really upset at the time, but it did me a favour as it made me realise I had been too lax about what I had posted on here in the past.

I have since name changed 2 or 3 times and am far more careful about what I share.

TalcAndTurnips · 29/07/2012 21:03

Tee - I have never knowingly instigated anything in my life.

I tend to stand on the sidelines, lobbing in a bun* now and then.

Nah not spanish, ¿ is just an option on my phones keypad. Can also do ¡ too

WorraLiberty · 29/07/2012 21:04

Is it Australian, Gnocchi?

TalcAndTurnips · 29/07/2012 21:06

Jodie - what on earth gives you that idea??

Confused

bejeezus · 29/07/2012 21:06

So, how does it happen, this outing thing? Does a RL friend come up and announce they have seem you on here???

If I recognised someone, I'd just keep quiet, wouldn't you??

usualsuspect · 29/07/2012 21:07

I would deny all knowledge Grin

Inneedofbrandy · 29/07/2012 21:09

But so what if you are outed? I wouldnt say anything or post anything online I didnt mind the world knowing anyway. I really do not understand all that "oo be careful what your saying" shit. Confused

Secret7 · 29/07/2012 21:09

It always fascinates me that people want to be well known on here.

I do admit to liking certain posters and their styles but I'm not interesting or kitty enough to be with the "in crowd" and prefer to name change every few months.

Are you going to tell us how you were outed?

I cant be arsed to hide.
I wouldnt be able to talk about DD if I did.
I dont think I say anything people would be suprised at.
Unless they are labouring under the illusion that I am a DM loving, homophobic, right wing, Boris fan Grin

HoneyDragonSponseredByCocaCola · 29/07/2012 21:09

worra don't. People talk about their hairless fanjos and parking goats in P&C spaces? Confused

HoneyDragonSponseredByCocaCola · 29/07/2012 21:10

Ooooooh random mystical full stop there. Sorry.

Secret7 · 29/07/2012 21:10

Btw I can also ... ¿¡®©

Yes but only at the dinner table Honey

Never at the school gate
