Needy neighbour; again

[LoveMyPiano]

Update:

She now has a bike.
No escape, as she can keep up when I try to get away!
(Feel sure she has never taken a Cycling Proficiency Test.....)

But in between dodging her (in and out, in and out, in and out),
I had a much better Saturday this week - I went to a book signing and met
Sara Davies (Dragons' Den) - and ended up discussing boob sizes and being a very late starter at crochet.

The I drove through the countryside in the sunshine singing Barbra Streisand,

Socking = sock puppet.

A sockpuppet is a phony name or identity created by an online user to argue, bully or review products as another person. Sockpuppets have a long and storied history; they were once well-known for responding to their own Usenet or blog posts.

Well, I am not sure WHO I am now...... Either this account is staying, or LoveMyPiano is coming back; this is agreed with MN today.

I - as far as I can recollect - did NOT post between the one thread (re. SacconeJolys as it happens) - that I had forgottten about. I am - was - not a habitual MN user - as indicated by my breaking all sorts of official rules, and unofficial ones.
ALL of my posts of my own (there have been many others on various threads about other topics) apar from that have been since May lst yeaar. What can I say if you and others don't believe me.
If I had, I would "confess". But there is no history beyond that , and the 2013.

I seem to be annoying a few, but honestly - why do you feelyou have anything to add? You may be trying to make me look - more importantly, feel - bad. But posts like yours, others, and particularly @OakRowan 's, the herd and bandwagon mentaility and quoting lengthy posts of vitriol and adding a single word, were the reason I thought MN was not a good place to spend time. It is the only place that I - in my limited experience - have seen mental health weaponised in the way one or two people have. It is shocking and disgusting.

There is no laughter, "tinkly" or otherwise.

Right - another specialist term learnt today.

Again - if I wanted to create a fake persona, I would choose a better one.

Account queries have been cleared up with MNHQ, as I have stated in another post. One account, one person. I would not know HOW to have more than one, let alone have a conversation with myself.

Just not clear on which account name is surviving yet.

Heck, I'll be giving my real name next!

I would not know HOW to have more than one [account], let alone have a conversation with myself.

You have two accounts right here on this thread.

This is the most bizarre thread i've read on here for ages!

There was a woman poster years ago who used to post loooong posts about a married (iirc) man who sent her letters (iirc) who she was in unrequited love with and it was all very deep and murky. It would crop up every now and then and this reminds me of that. Loads of posters used to eye-roll at her and say ''gawd not again!''. I'd just be

As a by-the-by, have you actually taken any steps regarding distancing yourself from your neighbour?

I don't any longer - if I ever did. Two usernames, due to deactivating of my account.
And I was not conversing with myself.

As I said - al cleared up with Mumsnet. I think I am back to (only) LoveMyPiano now. xx

I have, yes. It is rather process than an event though.

I have read ones that were as or more bizarre - if that's the right word, given the tone of some of the posts.

I don't think i would let myself get so invested that I felt spurred to rant at and demean the OP, no matter what. And if I did, I would expect then to be shot down in flames.

Hi all,

We can confirm that OP has had a mix-up with their accounts and temporarily had to create another account 'Don'tBreathe' in order to continue posting. This has all been resolved now. Please remember trollhunting is against out Talkguidelines. If you are unsure about whether a user is genuine, please report to us.

Have a great evening

I like that phrase: "A process rather than an event."

I wonder if any of the posters who accused you of being a troll will apologise. I suspect not. @FlibbertyGiblets

I don't get why posters get so angry with OPs that they try to demean them and hurt their feelings. It's such a warped thing to do. I get that the OP is frustrating. I think the OP thinks she is frustrating but I don't see how that makes other posters want to put the boot it. It's like they enjoy it.

If someone annoys me online I just avoid them. You can hide threads if you don't like them.

I doubt there will be any apology. With views so fixed, it would take some level of humility.
You see, I don't even really believe there should be such frustration. If I am boring or repetetive on the subject, and possibly not self-aware or humble enough myself, and if the writing style offends someone - they really really can just by-pass anything I have written. Half of the two Neighbour threads have been taken up with me needing to defend or explain myself - which has just been more fuel to the fire.
Because it is not something i would ever do, I struggle with it happening - and the depths that people go to.

Thank you (unless you are being sarcastic...)

It can apply to a lot of things I find; I don't think the phrase is originally mine, I must have heard it somewhere.

No sarcasm (tho i can understand why you ask), it's a great phrase and a helpful way to think about big changes.
