to think Mumset is a whole lot better post-Mouldiegate?

[Picante]

Genuine observation here, not trying to stir anything. It just seems a lot less cliquey and bum-licky. My replies are recognised and appreciated. I hope newbies feel welcomed and that there isn't some barrier that you have to cross in order to become 'popular'.

Well?

emkana. I would have thought some people like you aren't there by mistake rather than by design, IFSWIM..

That's what I told myself but I now know that not to be true.

emkana - how do you know that?

i cannot imagine that's the case, tbh emkana. i just can't picture it at all.

anyone seen the jeremy kyle thread?

Sorry I can't tell you how I know.

Sorry I can't tell you how I know.

personally i would not only question the motives of someone telling you that, but also their truthfulness. it just sounds so unlikely.

To be fair (even though to be fair is hard in the circumstances) I think it wasn't all of them not wanting me there.

but...but.. why would anyone not want you there? you aren't offensive in any way whatso ever - i have to agree with Aitch actually.

Well even if that sounds a bit off now I was surprised - I'm not really a poster who polarizes am I? Boring more like Maybe I went on about ds too much? This is the nastiness about it, there is no openness or honesty, telling me why I am "wrong"

I don't know much about Moldies. But I really wouldn't put too much importance on it. You got lots of support from Mumsnet, so surely that's what got you through rather than another forum?

err Olympe...why?

because I think it is unfair emkana, for you and others, but I'll just get people yawning at me again. Nothing against you.

Yes that's true but for a while ds was kind of a MN baby, lots of people taking an interest (supposedly...) in his progress, and now nobody cares because all the people who "knew" him are gone

but you are not wrong emkana, not in the sightest. The actions of setting up a secret, private forum was in itself wrong. the actions of those people you call friends in staying members of that forum whilst knowing you are excluded - well one needs to explore with ones self - certainly its something i find hard to reconcile, but there were a few of the purportedly 'forgotten' who have no trouble in reconciling it at all.

hows the no smoking going?

weeeeeeeeeeeell did well for a few weeks, then really fell over today - an thinking i'll let miself have the bank holiday then back on the wagon tuesday

Not everyone has gone Emkana - I remember your story very well. I took a break from mumsnet for a while and am not back as much as I was. He looks gorgeous on your profile BTW
