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.

I am officially blacklisted never mind unofficuially

The private clubs are in MSN, it's like the Matrix

Teuch · 21/08/2008 18:53

oh wait...I just realised that might have been a) incorrect and b)cliquey

EyeballsintheSky · 21/08/2008 18:54

I think I started a few nonsensical whitterings thought provoking discussions yesterday bellavita.

AbbaFan · 21/08/2008 18:54

Some posters do seem have built up a 'good reputation', and I assume they are the ones that have been around along time.

I have only been on here about 6 months, but because I told my mum all about it, I have name-changed 3 times so that she can't check up me.

Therefore I don't think I'll ever make it into the in-crowd

electra · 21/08/2008 18:54

I've been here about 4 years and I also sometimes don't get replies. I don't really think of it as cliquey though - it's too big for that. Actually lately I have wondered what has happened to quite a few people who I remember as prolific when I joined...perhaps they have name-changed.

Teuch · 21/08/2008 18:54

Anyway, whatever...

None of you are real, you are but figments of my hormone-addled imagination.

I was about to post

'How long till someone mentions cliquey?'

It's the mn equivalent of Godwin's Law.

Teuch you win a prize

JKGrowling · 21/08/2008 18:58

I namechange on an almost daily basis.

And I'm still always 'in'.
(In my own head).

It's best to post with such a shocking lack of self-awareness that you assume everyone else finds you endlessly fascinating.

Then it becomes irrelevant whether they actually do or not.

A spreadsheet? How terribly passe. Lapin has a great big fuck-off database.
