In a nutshell; poster throws a strop and doesn't like the answers they are getting.

AIBU to think it's a massive cop out?

I was nicer before you ripped me to shreds at one of the hardest times of my life.

StrawberryTeaLeaf · 05/12/2015 14:14

Why am I even engaging with this when I could be calculating my xmas foil requirements?

StrawberryTeaLeaf · 05/12/2015 14:15

We made you the bitch you are kind of thing, is it?

That's nice Hmm

reni2 · 05/12/2015 14:16

Always twice as much Christmas foil as you think you need, STL.

StrawberryTeaLeaf · 05/12/2015 14:17

Thanks reni I'll go with that once I've worked out how much I think I'll need Grin

Sansoora · 05/12/2015 14:17

Melcombe, you're not coming across very well and whilst I can understand how hurt and angry you must feel you're losing the moral high ground here and perhaps its best you stop posting on this thread.

Surely its better to be known as the poster who was treated appallingly than the poster who's doing what you're doing now.

ilovesooty · 05/12/2015 14:19

I expect she'll name change again and bring this up all over again anyway.

TendonQueen · 05/12/2015 14:20

Not the major theme here I know, but I'm always amazed anyone answers those 'What are your job and salary' 'What are your kids' names' 'Where do you live including GPS co-ordinates' threads. Identification within a couple of other cross referencing threads just waiting to happen.

reni2 · 05/12/2015 14:22

I think anonymous accusations are really off, as are unnamed allies. It just really poisons the atmosphere. I understand you had a shit experience, but don't make it shit for everybody else, it isn't going to make you any happier. If a bully shouts "but I was bullied once" it's an explanation, but no excuse.

ilovesooty · 05/12/2015 14:22

I agree with you TendonQueen

If you value privacy I can't understand it either. I'm not too bothered about being outed as I've never posted anything here that would cause trouble for me as far as I'm aware but it's different for most I think.

StrawberryTeaLeaf · 05/12/2015 14:23

YY.There was a 'what's the most unusual thing you own?' thread once Tendon. I was agog at the people who posted on that. Plus the engagement ring threads with photos that crop up regularly.

winterswan · 05/12/2015 14:23

Tendon, I think that generally people just don't think. There was a guest post recently with a photograph and full name of the blogger who was a primary school teacher discussing children in her class.

I recently lost my log in details so had to re register, frustratingly, but I have and will continue to namechange to protect my privacy and more importantly that of other people's. It's when people use it to be nasty I hate it.

ilovesooty · 05/12/2015 14:25

If someone makes accusations like the ones flying about on this thread I'd like MNHQ to tell us that they'll be warned and permanently banned if they do it again.

Wagglebees · 05/12/2015 14:27

Melcombe I went from being a working, socialising, positive, energetic person to housebound within weeks, about a year and a half ago. I knew people who were disabled or housebound or both, before I became ill, and honestly felt like they were different to me. Truth is they weren't and we're not. You could wake up tomorrow and find your entire life changed for no reason whatsoever. Like I did. So please reconsider your distain for people who can't leave the house as often as they'd like and have to use forums like MN if they want any form of communication with others.

Otherwise you just sound like a bit of a twat.

Wagglebees · 05/12/2015 14:29

Although I am sorry you had a shot experience on here. Just don't let it make you into one of the people you say you hate.

Sansoora · 05/12/2015 14:29

I suspect Melcombe didn't think about the wider implications of her comments before she let rip.

M48294Y · 05/12/2015 14:30

I went to wrap our turkey up in foil on Christmas morning once and found the box was completely empty! Fecking dh and his fecking inability to throw empty packets away.

Thank God for 7-11 and living in London, I say.

Wagglebees · 05/12/2015 14:32

disdain shit

balls to autocorrect

Wagglebees · 05/12/2015 14:35

Sans I agree. Hopefully she has now. If you turn as nasty as those you dislike then they've won, I hope she can see that.

AnyFucker · 05/12/2015 14:45

You lot made me do it ! Grin

Even though "us lot" probably weren't even on that 2014 thread. And the jury is out as to how many of them were housebound non-car drivers.

Bambambini · 05/12/2015 14:51

Anyfucker

She might be making a pigs ear of this as she is still obviously upset, but I don't think it's funny, though you seem to be finding her upset hilariously entertaining.

MelcombeBingham · 05/12/2015 14:52

I agree I made a fool of myself and let me anger get the better of me. I should have got over that by now. I am deeply sorry for being totally out of order with the housebound comments. I am ashamed.

Anyfucker. You keep mocking and laughing away if it makes you feel happy. I may have made a fool of myself but at least I realise it. If you find my situation so amusing now (and you certainly did before) then that is your problem.

Sansoora · 05/12/2015 14:52

Yes. I think this is the case.
