I have been posting on here for a year or so on and off, but I have never really felt welcome.

No one ever responds to what I write, in fact I have sometimes felt actively ignored.

Now obviously that could be cos I write a load of crap that interests no one

Or it could be that very early on, before I realised how careful you had to be, I had an argument with someone who, it turned out, was a mumsnet superstar.

Am I being paranoid, or do people get unofficialy blacklisted!!

btw have changed my name for this.

@ Pan!

I see you fixed your button then......

I have, on occasion, seen eyelid fluttering at known male posters......... Ironically, twas one of those posters who are the first to shout "all men are bastards/arseholes/insert-insulting-name-of-choice".

But, there you go.

Pan · 22/08/2008 13:36

I mailed you dear!!

yes button done and now massively out of pocket for it.

Will drop you another one later. Hoping you are fine and funky.x

VinegarTits · 22/08/2008 13:39

How can you see eyelids fluttering on here? the mind boggles, i dont know who is male and who isnt on here, could all be hariy arse bikers, and i think you meant it too

lou33 · 22/08/2008 13:39

i never notice any of this flirting stuff, and seem to miss all the big fall outs

Pan · 22/08/2008 13:42

The other thing I get is I speak and everyone talks over me, or ignores me completly. Get that at home too!

WilyWombat · 22/08/2008 16:54

On the whole I dont remember who I have fallen out with and who I have had a joke with....just as bad with names/faces in RL. I do think the people who are remembered are the most prolific posters - hopefully you have a real life too

Sometimes I think "ohhh she is horrible, obviously a complete nutter, I must make sure I avoid her" then cant remember who it was a few days later

Ive been here years under a few name but I can still count the people I am friendly with and think of as real people on the fingers on one hand.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 22/08/2008 17:23

Oh, just couldnt remember if you were one of those she kept in contact with.

She had a thing with 3 male MNers IIRC. Started on board, and continued off board.

lou33 · 22/08/2008 18:02

nope thats not me

i used to chat on msn to her sometimes, but that was quite a while before she said she was pregnant

VeniVidiVickiQV · 22/08/2008 18:04

Ah, I see. Such an age ago now...

lou33 · 22/08/2008 18:06

VeniVidiVickiQV · 22/08/2008 18:11

PMSL

Not at all. But, if I hadnt already seen your profile........

VeniVidiVickiQV · 22/08/2008 18:12

lou33 · 22/08/2008 18:28

ah but you never see me below my neck, have you noticed that....?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 22/08/2008 18:30

Lou is a he-she!!!!

lou33 · 22/08/2008 18:34

it works really well, i get to pee standing up against bushes when caught short

ever so handy

madame · 22/08/2008 18:40

I can't comment on whether there is a club as such but I do think that sometimes it's not as supportive as you would like. It seems that posts that are contraversal and meaty always get answered.

I have found just lately that I don't get very much in the way of answers or support.

scottishmummy · 22/08/2008 18:54

christ what's that bleedin draught?big falsie eyelashes fluttering like twa sheets in the wind
