No offence, but considering this is a parenting site for women there are going to be quite a few women on here who identify themselves as a 20 something mum or variations of the same.
I had an encounter with a poster who had posted longer than me who objected to me using a syllable which was my real name in my nn because she thought she owned it by virtue of being a longer term poster. I, and several other posters, told her to fuck off and wind her neck in and she did.
There was a post last week from someone whinging that a popular username deriving from the Friends show was being used by someone else which was very similar to her own. She was also told she WBU.
The username I have at the moment, shortly after registering it I realised it was almost the same as another posters. I asked her if she was okay with that, she was and it was fine.
It's just a non-issue really, it's certainly not something that MN would be justified in giving another posters details out about.
I change my name all the time, I've had massive fucking rows with people and decide I don't want things follow me about so I change.
It's only the fucking internet. It's not important, it doesn't matter. TBH it's probably only done you good by sending traffic the way of your blog.
Seriously, it's the internet. Nobody fucking cares. It's full of loons, nutters, oddities and psychopaths and as soon as you start caring about it you are one too!
