That list is incomplete or wonky. I didn’t realise such a thing existed so I just searched for my friend’s wife, who definitely is a practising lawyer, for fun and she’s not on there either.

Well, that fucks up the sleuthing and conspiracy theory of that particular poster then,doesn't it? Grin
Definitely unpleasant behaviour. . Somebody else said so, I'm agreeing

SpongeBobGrannyPants · 11/07/2018 20:42

And you've said time and time again you follow the threads all the time, so again, if you had something to say when the conversation was on another topic, you'd have plenty opportunity to join in. You can't claim "these threads always go the same way" when you're one of the main culprits for ensuring that.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 11/07/2018 20:42

The list is not incomplete. That is the list for members of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives

Search either the Law Society of England and Wales or the Law Society of Scotland directories

A little knowledge badly applied is a dangerous thing.

madamgrizzly - don't know what is up with you but those posts are disturbing. Have you been keeping screen shots of instastories for months?

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 20:44

I’m annoyed with myself for re-registering and getting pulled back into this, but before I go again.... Why are you and Sofia always together on these threads? You leave at the same time, and come back at the same time? Why is this?

Absolutely not a clue. Are you trying to imply that we're the same? Or mates?
As I've never met her.
Don't you think it's MUCH more likely that we both reappeared when someone asked where we were and we answered?
Or is that too boring and you want the answer to be something more exciting? Confused

ivegotatheoryitcouldbebunnies1 · 11/07/2018 20:46

Well if it hadn’t happened on numerous instamum threads, I’d agree with you. But it has, going all the way back to the style and beauty ones. You both reappear at the same time, thread after thread.

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 20:46

Gobbolino - right?!

And I'M the one who's called over-invested. Taking screenshots, hanging onto them, admitting doing an afternoon of "detective work" on an individual person, then trying to imply they're lying..... THAT'S over invested and disturbing.

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 20:47

I'vegot - I've said this time and time again, I have not BEEN on the style and beauty threads. Only the Instagram ones.

ivegotatheoryitcouldbebunnies1 · 11/07/2018 20:48

Cady yes you have. You’ve got a REALLY short memory it seems. You and Sofia were both on the transparency threads on style and beauty too. Both backing each other up there too.

Confusssed · 11/07/2018 20:49

gobbolino in the past I've known posters on here screen shot and actually save stuff that I posted literally years ago, to then drag it out in triumph.

Some people lead very empty lives. Some people are clearly ill. Often it's both.

ivegotatheoryitcouldbebunnies1 · 11/07/2018 20:49

I’ve followed all these threads, although I haven’t commented on lots of them, and you two are a package on them all. Other people have pointed this out too.

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 20:54

Cady yes you have. You’ve got a REALLY short memory it seems. You and Sofia were both on the transparency threads on style and beauty too. Both backing each other up there too.

Were they transparency threads about influencers? Ie identical to these ones? If so then I could have been.

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 21:01

I'm the one making it about the ODs?! Prove it please.

Spongebob, you have LITERALLY just said in the post before that I came back for the ODs.
YOU brought the ODS up. Not me. I answered as someone asked where I was. That's all.
There'd been pages of OD and other accounts before and I'd been reading but not commenting, just eye rolling but scrolling on by/reading.
The only reason I reply so much is because of all the inane accusations and questions to me when I do post.

ivegotatheoryitcouldbebunnies1 · 11/07/2018 21:01

There’s no could have been, you were. With Sofia. Like you have been throughout the entirety of these continued influencer threads.

Sofialemon · 11/07/2018 21:03

Ffs, yet again, I posted because I was mentioned. I'd been dipping in & out of the thread but hadn't posted as I have nothing more to say re transparency and the use of kids on insta.

I then get drawn back in as I try to respond to each comment / question aimed at me.

How is what @MadameGrizzly has done re googling Laura any worse or different to earlier in the thread when someone looked stuff up on the Meldrums?

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 21:03

If sofias posting at the same time as me, it's a coincidence or because we have the same viewpoint a lot of the time.
It is NOT a great big conspiracy as much as you'd love it to be,I seriously do not know her.

Sofialemon · 11/07/2018 21:05

@ivegotatheoryitcouldbebunnies1

I was on the S&B insta threads but I honestly don't recall @CadyHeron being on any of those.

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 21:05

Sofialemon - we can say til we're blue in the face that we popped up at the same time because we were mentioned at the same time, but it must be much more exciting to think that it's all some huge conspiracy.

ivegotatheoryitcouldbebunnies1 · 11/07/2018 21:06

Coincidence for what.... 10+ threads? Bollocks.

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 21:08

I was on the S&B insta threads but I honestly don't recall @CadyHeron being on any of those.

THANK you! You start doubting yourself when some are so adamant you did something - it's like did I fall? Bang my head? Losing it?
I have never been in the style and beauty boards if there were threads in there. It's not a board I even frequent so I wouldn't have entered them.
Were they Instagram threads? The only way I'll have been on them is if they were in active convos, trending or in Chat or AIBU.

Sofialemon · 11/07/2018 21:09

@CadyHeron I know, it's ridiculous. Even if we were some sort of cohorts I'm not sure what anyone thinks we're trying to achieve?!

I wouldn't have posted as much today if Cash's account hadn't been mentioned. I'm still intrigued as to what has supposedly gone on with her & MOD re the Feastival, it's all a bit bizarre!

SpongeBobGrannyPants · 11/07/2018 21:10

Ok cool, you were asked where you were (and I remember the comment and I don't think it was a genuine call for you to respond!) . You could have just said "hey I'm still here, nothing new to add". But it never goes like that with you two. So boring and repetitive.

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 21:10

Coincidence for what.... 10+ threads? Bollocks

Can you seriously not see that people mention us at the same bloody time?!
We answer, maybe it looks like some massive plot, but it isn't!
You must know jamoncrumpets and eebymum then as they all think like you! You're bessies,you know each other, you must do.... (JOKE, I'm seriously not that paranoid) but that's how you're coming across.

MadameGrizzly · 11/07/2018 21:11

I've read every thread, participated on many and started two. I'm a long standing poster on this topic as you know @Gobbolinkthewitchscat, but I've been watching this unfold with horror and shame for months.

I've even reported my suspicions to MN - that's why I have some screenshots.

What is most disturbing is that people's reputations are being harmed unnecessarily. It's one thing to properly discuss ethics, it's another thing altogether to set out to destroy other people.

I'm increasingly upset and frustrated that other posters have their own agenda which is nothing to do with disclosure or exploitation of minors.

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 21:11

You could have just said "hey I'm still here, nothing new to add". But it never goes like that with you two. So boring and repetitive

Because people keep posting daft shit at me that I'm obviously just supposed to ignore.

CadyHeron · 11/07/2018 21:12

What is most disturbing is that people's reputations are being harmed unnecessarily.

True, so why were you doing that to Laura when she posted then, it sounded like you were trying to imply she was lying about being a lawyer?
Why do that?
