to think this mumsnet thing is a bit of a private club!!!

[birdinatent]

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.

Don't think I've ever started a thread that got past 5 pages!

You'll have to tell us who you are now, or your alter ego birdinatent will be more famous than the real you.

Cuckoo, I wonder which board that was?

Ha ha! Do I sound bitter? I need to get over it really don't I!!

I need to post more in this thread. It seems to be where the people in the clique hang out

I don't think it's so much of a private club but there are some MNers , won't name names I'm sure we all know who, who gang up on you if you don't share the same opinion as them and if you don't then you will get shot down and flamed. But in saying that the people in question never hold a grudge I must admit so even if you do argue then don't worry to much you won't be ignored for eternity. LOL

birdinatent, what about me? Look here Nobody answered! Obviously nobody cares about what breastpump I bring to Budapest![sob]

{{{Wafts aroma of lavender in Cuckoos direction]]]]

well what a heartless bunch MNers are chipmonkey
(myself included of course...)
tsk!

But of course I was jesting, (ty Marsy and lou ).

Sagacious.....?

Excuse me but is this the postmodern clique thread where we all dissemble friendships and ignore each other and then strike out alone and disagreeably into the world of MN.

Oh goodoh then may I add.

I'm really sad that noone listens to me on here it makes me a bit fed up but not that much.

Ah, fucking off and being cunts.

[warm and gooey]

GGEEeesh! No!

Relates to the abuse.
It's one of my favourite things about mn.
It's less nest of vipers and more quiche of cunts.

where is desi these days?

for about a fortnight i was posting under another name, it was quite good fun actually. probably didn't get so many 'alright x, how're you doings' but that was because no-one recognised the x. taking it personally would have been profoundly self-indulgent...

anyhoo, after a while people started to say 'alright xnamechange' so i personally think it's got more to say with what you're actually saying on MN rather than a problem with newbs.

but if my name had been xmummy or mummytox, i'd really just have had to take it on the chin i think.

frankly no i dont recall specifcs of who said what.nor should you.actually i don't care.no MN grudges life is too short

i don't get in a fankle about what a bunch of anonymous women with pc's think

don't take any of it too heart

shame you have had a bad experience

i don't know about "superstars" but i don't like cliques and no one is MN elite imo.each post is a discrete narrative.sometimes people are spot on sometimes i think oh really.but no i don't confer special status to anyone.

i see a thread i post my opinion, that's all
i obviously don't purposefully intend to upset anyone. BUT threads that are discursive will inevitably upset someone

some posters are humphy and like a scrap, and it can be faces all round.best ignored

anyhow

jump back on the MN saddle, get stuck in.
be bold

blacklisted? oh the ignominy if i wasn't on it

whoops, x-posted with amummi. seriously... you are one of many mummies... what about a new name?

Wats stop facing the wall, that is an archaic punishment that reminds me of Blair Witch scariness.

Now come here and will put together a sticker chart with achieveable targets and praise. Unless you a Kohn-head in which case I offer you the self knowledge of your own worth and value in MN world.

Now back to Fab's warm and gooey bits.

Actually no, scratch that.

Let's not.

Eeek and no let's not scratch anything.

Anyway, whatever...

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

Thank god for that - just relieved me of a helluva lot of responsibility
