Cant help it
The thought that there are intelligent, funny, non-sleazy men out there who have masses in common with me....

It just gives me hope

And he's a regular poster on MN too.

Threadworm, I completely agree with your post of 17:09:19 (and I am very sensible)

daftpunk · 31/03/2009 18:47

georgimama;

i remember that thread, and i remember saying that to you.

look...i didn't join mumsnet to be liked or popular...(i didn't realize i'd pull it off so well..but i have .)

i am sorry if i upset you...i really am, i know you'll come back and tell me where to stick that apology..but you've got one anyway..so there!

i am a bit bonkers...but that's a good thing ...some days i'm worse than others (must be something to do with the moon?)... but i'm really not out to offend, i probably take more insults than i ever give, but by the next day i've forgottan who said it, and what was said.....i couldn't really give a toss anyway.

you know by tomorrow i'd have forgottan this thread, and that's how it should be.....i really don't take it seriously.

i was just about to reply to rhubarb saying the last thing you need is someone sticking up for you
i'll just bog off now

PadDad · 31/03/2009 19:18

I love you Rhubarb, and the way you've posted on this thread, but when you say about DaftPunk,

'In fact myself and Paddad I think it was, not to mention others, have gone out of our way to be nice to her and try to understand her pov',

i think you're misunderstanding. I went out of my way not to be NASTY to her. But i didn't try to understand her point of view.

Because as she says herself, above, she's bonkers!

All I said was that I find her posts hilarious.

PadDad loves Rhubarb! Puts secretcrush into the shade!!

daftpunk · 31/03/2009 19:30

i'm not unpleasant...i'm misunderstood

smallorange · 31/03/2009 19:46

I kind if admire your tenacity Daftpunk. I would be a snivelling wreck by now.

You are bonkers though.

I for one don't look to just my dp for a male view I have other male friends brothers etc.

Gunnerbean · 31/03/2009 21:08

No DaftPunk I'm not saying that your DH should log onto MN, or any other website for that mater, to get advice from women about anything but I do find it a bit weird that you would mind in the slightest even if he did want to.

I suppose though that you're applying the same logic as you were when you said that the partner of any woman who didn't mind her using an internet forum with men as well as women on it was "easy-going".

It's horses for courses I suppose but the sort of relationship where either one of us weren't able to feel comfortable about speaking to whoever we wanted to without a lot of argy-bargy or suspicion wouldn't be for me.

Rhubarb · 01/04/2009 10:26

Sorry, I did say "Paddad, I think it was", I'm one of those who remembers stuff being said but I'm too lazy to scroll down and find out who said it, so I just pick a name at random!

I love you too btw!

Daftpunk, we have tried to understand you and I wrote quite a long post to you where I did try to look at it from your pov. You never answered it and instead made another comment about how sad the men were on here.

I think you need to stop posting on impulse, because I don't know if what you are trying to say comes out wrong but it certainly doesn't show you in a very nice light. And I'm certain that's not who you really are.

daftpunk · 01/04/2009 10:57

you're right rhubarb..i do post on impulse, i'm not a politician, i don't have advisors telling me what to say, i don't have a script...i post exactly what i'm thinking at the time...maybe that makes me "interesting"....you say your all for diversity...why can't you except me then?...you know if we all took 20 minutes to think of what to say, we'd all be oscar wilde wouldn't we...it's not difficult.

i really don't think any man on here gives a toss if i think they're sad...so i'm not sure why you do?

Rhubarb · 01/04/2009 10:59

I accept you, I cannot accept your views.

I don't like name-calling, of any kind. Which is what you did.

daftpunk · 01/04/2009 11:19

nooooooooooooooooooooooo rhubarb..you should have waited 20 minutes and then come back with

" it is absurd to divide people into good or bad, people are either charming or tedious"

BigGitNotYourAverageBlokeDad · 01/04/2009 11:41

For you DP, a new name for me as I appear to be a little different like the other Dads on here!

Nighbynight · 01/04/2009 12:26

daftpunk, I can see where you are coming from, but to be logical, you'd have to stop posting on mumsnet, because you don't really know if any of the posters are men or women.

I also didn't hang around with men in real life when I was married (don't agree with the "but its totally innocent blah blah" crowd), but I did post on mumsnet. Have never belonged to any internet chat rooms though.
I do think that the responsibility rests on each person to make their own decision, and not to criticise the mumsnet men, who are en masse, wonderful and restore my faith in men somewhat.

FelineOk · 01/04/2009 14:01

Sorry for suggesting you are/were a troll gateau. It is good to see honest, straight talking people.

I also post impulsively. It's not good.

gets me into trouble at times.
