I can't update just now but here's the new thread. I will update later when I can.

A new thread will be needed soon. Good luck for Friday OP. Hopefully things will be quiet and less stressful Flowers

Unreasonableunreasonableness · 20/06/2018 20:58

Loyaultemelie you freaked me out for a second there! I'm trying not to think about it tbh. Beyond that we've now talked possible happenings and what we'll do.

The wording upthread was 'if this is no longer enjoyable for you then don't follow' (paraphrased). There is no enjoyment in reading about a stalking campaign, surely?

+1.
I have, thankfully, never been in a stalking situation. @Blanche, I can't even imagine how awful it was for you.

MN, seriously, feel free to delete my post, but your message on this thread is very strange, at best. Nobody could be deriving enjoyment / entertainment out of such a situation, surely, in my opinion anyway...

BlancheM · 21/06/2018 00:23

That was my point, Rachel

ReanimatedSGB · 21/06/2018 00:41

Perhaps 'useful' or 'helpful' would have been a better word choice, but there have been a few posters whining that the thread/situation is 'boring'.
Again: if this thread/story is not of interest to you, why are you bothering to flap and squawk all over it? There are thousands upon thousands of other threads to read and comment on.

xsquared · 21/06/2018 00:48

OP is free to post whatever she likes, mners are free to read or ignore if they wish.

I'm not sure "enjoy" is the right word, but OP has received many helpful advice as well as support by posting and venting. She's not posting to entertain. If you want entertainment on mn, then there are plenty of other websites.

MintyChops · 21/06/2018 07:23

She’s like a really persistent, noxious weed. I do feel for you OP, hopefully she gets too smart tomorrow and GL can dig her out.

bettytaghetti · 21/06/2018 08:59

Sorry OP that you're still going through this. Without going overboard with other people, I would say don't keep quiet about what has happened. She will certainly be giving the whole episode her own narrative, which people will tend to believe when they don't hear the other side of the story.

When my son was in primary school he experienced some bullying at the hands of another child (literally; the other child strangled him to the point of leaving chinese burn marks around his neck). The school tried to sweep it under the carpet were completely hopeless & made me feel like I was making a mountain out of a molehill, and as a result I just kept my & my son's distance from this woman and her son (we had previously been friends). Other mums at the school thought I was being odd and sided with her, and I felt ostracised. A short while later our sons left that school, but I still had a younger child there. As time went on I was accepted back and people gradually found out what had happened. Other people then started to talk about the experiences they had had with that particular child. Many other incidents of bullying, but what was more worrying was that he had worked out he didn't want to get into trouble, so he was coercing more impressionable/vulnerable children into doing stuff, including peeing on other (younger) children.
He was an extremely bright boy and I suspect he will either end up as the CEO of a FTSE100 company or doing time in prison!
There is a whole lot more to this story but I was very fortunate to have a brilliant headteacher at the next school...

All of this only came out through talking to other people, so don't bottle it up!

Sadly some people do find enjoyment in other people's misery. Why else is there so much lurid coverage in the press of murder or rape trials?? Sad

Lizzie48 · 21/06/2018 09:27

Horrible post, @GoldenButtercup why do some adults take such pleasure in mocking OPs? I've reported your post. Biscuit

@GoldenButtercup

And if it is? Who cares?
How would it affect you?

Are you against all fiction? Or just that where you have the opportunity to be negative directly to the creator, because your opinion is so important?

If you don't like it, don't read it.

(OP - I'm not suggesting i think this isn't true btw)

LagunaBubbles · 21/06/2018 10:03

Despite several deletions and warnings on this thread from MNHQ about leaving the OP to it and troll hunting you decide goldenbuttercup to ignore. Bit of a sad and stupid thing to do really.

Golden who pissed on your chips? Or are you always so deliberately fucking nasty for absolutely no reason whatsoever?

Go away.

Lizzie48 · 21/06/2018 10:17

She's just never left the playground basically, hoe childish. Another BiscuitBiscuit

Motherbear26 · 21/06/2018 10:18

GoldenButtercup, I think you should consider what is going on in your own life that you feel the need to try and undermine someone who is obviously struggling and on here looking for advice and support.

@unreasonableunreasonableness, please don’t let this put you off posting on here, and please continue to talk about this in rl. You need and deserve all the support you can get.

DragonMummy1418 · 21/06/2018 11:56

@Unreasonableunreasonableness
I think you should start a new thread now and cast off the negative end of this one... anyone not wanting updates can sod off the new thread.

Unreasonableunreasonableness · 21/06/2018 14:43

Hey! Not sure what happened there. (If anyone knows the deleted messages if you could pm me that would be appreciated). I will start a new thread if/ when anything happens tomorrow.
What do you want me to call it?

OP posts:
Lizzie48 · 21/06/2018 15:02

You shouldn't worry yourself about the deleted posts, @Unreasonableunreasonableness honestly they're just randoms on the internet. There are troll hunters on most threads, I suspect they're just bored.

I hope you have a better time at the group tomorrow. ThanksThanks

FizzyGreenWater · 21/06/2018 15:05

I think if you were to call it As Soft As A Zilla's Arse, most people would find you 😁

RandomMess · 21/06/2018 15:18

I really hope you can call it "softzilla no more" Thanks
