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.

A speciality?
Like a specialist subject?

I think mine might be Walks in Wiltshire, March 2008 to the present.

You have to escape the garage first.
I recommend Harry (see profile)

I have moments where I feel totally ignored and overlooked, admittedly I am needy.

But it depends on the time of day I am posting. The midday crowd rarely respond to me. It can be a different universe. Early morning and late evening, different story. But after midnight, we enter the greylight zone.

OrmIrian · 21/08/2008 21:28

No it's not a private club. That's ridiculous! Anyone can post here and be ignored, patronised, sworn at and insulted.

Aitch · 21/08/2008 21:28

That is why you have to tell us what your previous name was.

I for one refuse to talk to somebody called Horseballserectus. Or summit like that.

CaptainFabioHiltsTheCoolerCat · 21/08/2008 21:34

Oh, I feel much better already.
Ta Dior!

S1ur · 21/08/2008 21:34

Yes do tell us there's a love and then we can check it against The List.

5thApe I knew who you were before because you said but now I've forgotten.

Much like myself....[befuddled]

HumpheryCushion · 21/08/2008 21:36

I love you all.
Each and every one of you.
Really, you're all just smashing.

Even those of you I have never, ever heard of before.
