to find it boring when people start a thread to ask a simple question but

name change just in case it goes wrong?
I don't mean when people want to hide their identity for fear of outing themselves when they are talking deep and meaningful. but when it is just in case people don't agree. I admit i loose interest when I read the op and it is a question and says I have namechanged.....

expat I lurve you

i lurve you all [clutches bucket].

Rose99 It's because you smell actually.

i thought i had escaped the worst of it this time.

but this week it's really kicked off.

i have MORE spotting, but spoke to consultant on Friday. i've had this on and off for weeks now. abdominal scan showed healthy foetus 9 weeks along. i had ovarian pain, however, and vaginal scan showed corpus luteal cyst on left ovary. her internal exam also showed 'quite vascularised' cervix. so she's of the opinion that the intermittent spotting is either from the cyst or the cervix.

but i get a nice smear test on Tuesday to rule out infection.

why the fuck did i do this to myself?

i don't know, KM, that sex change person got jiggy with a turkey baster and managed to get banged up .

I namechanged (permanently)to this name because a thread i started did go wrong - wasn't my intention, asked a question in all innocence and got lambasted. I was worried that if I kept the original name, people would see me differently,but sad that I lost my original identity. So in future I think I would name change if I thought the thread might be contentious. not for any malicious reason at all.

Jerry got rich and retired.

I don't blame him.

kerrymum, usually am very "strong hided" but was embarrassed at how that particular thread turned out and wimped off to another name cos didn't like what people were thinking about me, and am quite a nice sensitive soul really!

Swedes, at least it's not my bad breath .

ladette, I don't blame you for being sensitive. People can be very forthright on here.

On the name changing generally, isn't there something on MN to the effect they they own copyright and can reproduce anything in years to come? I don't really want to be known as "Rose99" who does x for a living, sends her kids to y school and enjoys bum love or whatever.

So how do you name change then!???? I have had a poke about the site and I still can't see how you do it. {helpless face}

I wouldn't name change. I am who I am on here.
I people have a go at me, and they do, then that is to do with them and not me.
people who get wound up and start shouting and swearing on threads make me laugh a lot.
Such a waste of energy and they take things SO personally.

madame, I think it's on "my mumsnet" and then you follow the links to registration details and then make changes and save them (haven't been on here recently so can't quite remember).

yup, go:

Then change your chat nickname. You'll still be able to change back to your old one whenever you want and swap between names.

I've been a twat on threads previously, I started one thread I was sure to get roasted for and was quite surprised I didn't.

I think if people recognise your name they're more likely to react well to the thread , I mean we all know different posters and would understand that maybe a post wasn't worded great but be aware of the general nature of the person so be more inclined to clarify, whereas if it was a namechanger they don't get afforded that benefit.

I name change every once in a while. Then I forget I've name changed and start a new thread and wonder why everyone is ignoring me. Takes me a while to remember it's because I'm a 'newby' again. Then I feel all left out sanctimonious and superior about not joining in the quiches .

Not that tha has anything to do with the OP. Sorry, thought we were talking about ME for a minute there.
