WORKzilla 2

[famtastic]

Done a new thread as couldn't reply. Can't believe this is the 3rd thread lol.

I know I shouldn't laugh but ds vomiting like that was hilarious and so well times I've given him £10!

There may be a few holes in the story but I think in general some posters do change small details to prevent them being recognised or outed etc so I assume Fam was probably just doing the same.

Thank you, no yesterday was a big lesson for me in standing up for myself. And all the support was so lovely, I've never really posted before for fear of being judged, plus my life really isn't very interesting normally. I just needed a bigger opinion on this one so thought why not ask? And I can totally see why people use this site as the support and unity was great. But I do feel deflated today so il take a graceful exit lol. I didn't think I posted that much was just replying to requests for updates. Sorry again and thanks xx

Maybe MNHQ have realised that a load of people waving pitchforks and shouting 'Witch!' doesn't mean it's true?

Exactly and maybe MNHQ should have a good hard look at themselves.

They post a message implying fam's a liar because their trusty bunch of troll hunters have told them to - even though the baying mob are a tiny percentage of people who have read /contributed to the thread.

Baying mob have no evidence to support their claims - probs the same people who used to call 'first' on comment sections and preen.

Then they DON'T pull the actual thread - and actually keep using it on SM sites to advertise MN. and ensuring those extra clicks - so MN is actually making bucks from this thread - something fam certainly is not.

This has ensured a thread that was lovely and uplifting (and totally believable to people who have met WORKzillas) peters out with a load of petty squabbling.

Most importantly they block a long term MN-er who used the boards for SN advice and who also has anxiety, who is now feeling blue when she should be feeling empowered.

THEY DO THIS WITOUT EVEN CONTACTING HER.

MN - you should have shit or got off the pot last night.

Hope you're enjoying the view from your Ivory towers.

Exactly DAMNgina - much better said than I did!

And all the posters saying 'I didn't troll hunt I reported' ARE troll hunting now. So the holier than thou act really doesn't wash!

So you've never seen a road with a corner? Or seen a child walk around a bend in the road? Or called someone who lives a few doors down a neighbour?

There's a couple of threads from yesterday where the 'neighbour' lives opposite the poster.

Please don't feel like you have to leave MN because of some people who obviously have such perfect textbook lives they can't imagine anything outside of Stepford.
Please continue to use the SN board's.

I haven't posted some of the stuff I've desperately needed help/advice with as some times it sounds so far fetched I would be called a troll. Which is sad.

I really hope this bullying from WORKzilla ( my predictive text knows this word already!) ends soon. Well done for standing up to her. I asked my DP about what your DH said and he said he's not sure he would have been as 'polite' to her.
I hope your son feels better too. I once sicked over my horrible teachers shoes in the playground

Well I think MNHQ have some explaining to do 😌

Oh maybe I left a few detail out I live at 24 she lives at 57, it's a long road with a bend, she's just round the bend ( corner ) on the opposite side. I didn't know I was to put every detail as I was being scrutinised for it. I walk that way to the school, when they collected ds, they saw him across the road and he walked up the road then to me. You can just see her house from the end of my drive way

end of the road and around the corner can mean the same thing to me...

and i didn't see where the OP said she was her neighbour... although for me anyone who lived within 100m is a 'neighbour' of sorts... they still live in the neighbourhood...

Posters who are now nit picking..... you sound bored

I call all my street my neighbours lol, unless next door they are next door neighbours. I guess I spoke about the road like you all knew it, I was just telling it like I would to my mum or a friend.

Explains everything. Batshit woman is round the bend!

Me too. And a few people who live on neighbouring streets but I'd feel happy to borrow a cup of sugar from!

I call all my street my neighbours lol, unless next door they are next door neighbours.

Me too, in fact, if they live in my neighbourhood, they are my neighbours.

People on my terraced stretch are my next-door-neighbours, even the ones not directly next door.

But fam, you don't have to defend yourself against the tiny minority who have been given legitimacy by a snarky MN message.

MN should be contacting you for a chat and then offering much apologies.

This has been very entertaining and I believe it. Nothing surprises me about the mad things people do.

My kids are 10 and 13 and I could very easily leave them alone for a few hours. In fact they would refuse to go to a childminder. The humiliation.

But I wonder who was minding the kids when they came round to yours last night. Do they have some other poor sap doing them a favour.

Wow I'd think most posters would change one or 2 minor details in order to prevent themselves being outed / to give themselves some deniability. I.e. Change down the street to round the corner, change sex of dc, etc.
That doesn't automatically make them a troll.
She didn't post anything upsetting, triggering begging for money etc and there were loads of posters with very similar stories so the story didn't really stretch credibility. Why should she have to prove herself to any of us.?

Fam/user, please don't be brought down by the non-believers. I'm a long time lurker who hardly ever posts and I'll bet I'm far from the only one who is in need of matchsticks to keep my eyes open this morning after feeling I needed to read to the end before sleeping in case it was all deleted when I woke up! It was riveting and I was rooting for you. If it had been a storyline on a TV drama we would likely have said it was too far fetched but I have found in life that the more incredible the facts, the more likely they are to have happened. I did find myself thinking several times 'Crikey, you couldn't make this up' 😀

I agree with pp that MNHQ need to decide where they stand on this. It's not OK to block a member, say they will delete the threads and yet have it on Facebook and leave what was two and a half full threads of support and good advice into what seems to be a competition between unbelieving MNetters desperate to be seen to have 'not fallen for it'. Even if this wasn't a true tale (and I've not seen anything in the whole three threads except the deleted text messages to say it might not be) there have been plenty of other posters with similar stories sharing them to show that just because you haven't experienced something doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Lion - why are you so obsessed with this? Your passive aggressive use of smileys is perhaps the most smug, nauseatingly patronising thing I've seen on here for a long time.

Maybe lion is my neighbour? She does use mumsnet I believe lol. I'm not proving myself I'm not sure I've said anything that requires me to do so?

I believe it.

Theres someone in my village very similar who is also a bully and very entitled. She ran over a friends child in my care (child wasn't hurt thankfully but only because I was there-she reversed out of parking space without looking.) and laughed about it all over social media-posting gifs etc. Then reported ME to the police for harassment when I got mad with her about the way she was behaving over it.

Shes also trying to take the people she now works for to tribunal because they have ended her temporary maternity leave cover contract. Shes made up things about the person who's job she was covering and made false evidence she wasn't doing her job properly.

People like Workzilla exist.

I can't recall anyone asking the owner of the Mexican house for the deeds to their property or other proof their story was true yet that thread made it into classics.

Look even if she did make it up or embellish the truth what's the issue?
She's not asked anyone for money emotional support dodgy stories related to poo incidents etc, it's provided a few hours entertainment nothing more.
Maybe others reading this have realised that people are taking them for granted and will say no next time.
And there still remains the probability that at the heart of this someone has reclaimed the power of the word no.
