to get annoyed at the divide of the so called "regular mumsnetters"and the "newbies" ???

[3missyshohoho]

Forgive me if this has been a topic of discussion in the past but following on from a recent thread in the for sale section of MN I was wondering what others thought about this.

It makes me so cross on the for sale board saying "will only sell to or prefer to sell to regular MN" I can understand they don't want any funny business as there has been the odd scammer on here ripping people off, but it puts newer members off asking anything in fear that they will get shunned! And even if you haven't just joined - when is it exactly does one become a "regular" MN?

I have come on here daily for approx 7 months now.... Although I haven't posted on all of the talk boards I have certainly posted on a few in the past and often browse topics similar to ones I may be experienceing at the present for advice. I mainly buy off the for sale board and have sold a couple of bits as well.

I feel there is to much cliqiness amongst the "regulars" which puts off some mums from ever posting.

Cod had an accident with the self-tan lotion and looks like DD's sister, hence the Dickinson moniker

3missy, I think you're being terribly unfair to me, I told you the answer twice, and both ties you ignored it, iz it coz I am new?

Naughty Fio, repent!

And don't take liberties with my name, wlanut indeed. Mind, it has an exotic feel methinks...

Op, just laugh it off! Its not worth getting upset about, its happy hour here

Wonder what brand of fake tan

watsinsantassack- you should add an 's' to your name

OP, stand your numerical ground!

I'll talk to you vs

like tis custardo666

Even though I fucked that up so terribly?
Of course I meant 'iz it coz i iz new', I tried so har to be down with the kids and get my slang 'proper' but I just don't cut the mustard

Do you like my numerical name??? lol

what about mine?

the point people are saying, is that some posters are 'regulars' but only on the for sale boards. A 'regular' is someone who posts everywhere on MN. some of the 'for sale regulars' are using mn as a free ebay.

I hope you havent done anything to ladyv the first lol

That's it exactly sparkly.

I want to sell some bits but I haven't even got a digital camera!

Right after you all have finished laughing at something i clearly can't see the point to - call it what you like but feel like I am not going to bother coming on here again.... Come on here for some light hearted browsing/buying/selling not to be laughed at.

Each to everyones opinions and all but you don't need to take the piss.

i killed the 1st Ladyvic with too much cake.

Oh missy, chill out, it's all in good humour.
At least we'll know who you are if we wnat to sell to you now

The thing is the regular for sale people are now having a problem with non regular for sale people selling stuff and buggering off. It is all very confusing and makes me glad I have nothing to sell.

Missy - it's only a bit of fun, nobody is being horrible about you. In fact I would take it as a compliment!

Just having a laugh, thats all, not taking the piss

missy, I think you are being a little over-sensitive.

God i would never have started that thread if i knew it would get so blown out of proportion.

3missy, don't be cross. I do think you have been a little misaligned here - but only because you have introduced a debate people have fun with generally, I'm sure it's not personal
