to ask if Anyfucker has returned,"flounced", or namechanged?

[tasteslikechicken]

Disclaimer, I don't want to hear people's views on her per se, I just want to know if she has returned or not.
It's a nightmare doing a search as hundreds of bloody pages come up!

Why don't you message her and ask.

*FLOUNCED!
I hate bloody MN, every time I post I look like illiterate!

I thought I saw her yesterday, but it may have been someone with a similar name in homage to AF (was anycoffeefucker or something, IIRC), or an ancient thread of course.

Does it matter really?

If she is here, she must have chpsen to namechange.

"Does it matter really?"

Yes, it does!

Why?

Well, I'd like to know if she's still around too because she gives solid, sound advice. I miss her. She's not the only one I think highly of. There are others I'd notice the absence of too.

What's the problem with people asking Smiles?

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing her posts. Like expecting to see someone you know vaguely at a party and they aren't there, and never pop up again, so you wonder if they are ok.

She frequented the same ish boards as me, and you do get to recognise regular posters.

"Why?" - that's a daft question.

It's because I usually find her contributions to Mumsnet interesting and worth reading, unlike 95% of the other guff here on the moment SmilesandSunshine.

Hth.

Hullo - thanks to those who reported this thread to us.

As far as we're concerned, we've unbanned Anyfucker and she's v welcome to post. However we can neither confirm or deny namechanges/flounces when it comes to other posters.

We will zap this thread if it becomes a protracted personal attack, or a bunfight

Bloody hell, I hope I've not reignited the whole drama. Like some of the other posters, I miss her tuppence worth on some boards, she gave good advice most of the time, less good some of the time, but contributed most of the time.

I think there has been somewhat of a beatification over recent weeks, with some views revealing more about the poster rather than AF. Nonetheless, I miss her forthright, if sometimes rude, contributions and as someone up thread has said, there are a number of posters who I would miss, Hully, etc.

Might take up the suggestion of PMing her, hadn't thought of that.

Sorry, could somebody please clarify why this post should be reported?
I'm not a troll, I'm not goading, attacking nor have any history of being so. I asked a simple question.

I was a fair enough question to ask, given the hoo-haa.

And as you say, with all the 'fucker' names you've no chance of finding her

I???

It

I would imagine if she's namechanged it's because she chose to, and may not want to come forward.

If you feel she gives solid advice/help, then that advice will still be solid even if connected to another username. Read the advice, not the username.

You took the words out of my mouth Kinky. Doesn't matter who is giving the advice. T'is the words not the name that matters.

I think she's around under a new name. Leave her be or it will be just more AF bashing.

I get the 'friendship' aspect MrsW, I do, but if she wants to be known, she'll make it known!

God know why your op was reported. What a load of drama llamas, honestly!

Sorry disagree re the point it's not the name. Yes the name is irrelevant, however the person offering a view does so from their own perspective, therefore the view comes from the experiences they have had and has made them who they are.
I feel a bit patronised tbh being advised to ignore the name, and read the words. When I take advise from anyone, I always question what qualifies that person to hold a view.
I think it is evident that there are many posters on here who speak from experience and with conviction, and those who may have a view but not experienced the situation themselves.

i guess if AF want's to respond to you op she can, would be hard to pm her as there are so many fuckers about.

I apologise if I came across as patronising. And i take the point of you missing a MN friend. I do think that good advice is good advice though and it doesn't matter who it comes from.

I offer advice from many perspectives-as a mental health nurse, parent, woman, daughter, sister etc. But there is no way of ascertaining if I am any of those things no matter how good my advice might appear IYKWIM?

Sorry

My guess, fwiw, is that after all the rucus last week or whenever that she has chosen to come back anonymously. Her choice, and if she wishes to operate under the radar[heck, 2nd time I have posted like that today], that is the route she has chosen, and her choice is to be respected. And indeed, if she has done that, she is not going to want threads like this.
