cos they have the most bigoted condescending arrogant know-it-all arse of a moderator they could possibly have found?

so....ive been around a wee bit on MN but im finding my threads die a slow and silent death and i appear to kill any that i post on pdq.

so how do i mingle on here? should i try bribery or coercion!?

Were you on netmums??

BitOfFun · 26/06/2009 00:42

Watch what time you post! Skip late ones unless it's Friday, avoid school runs, and try to work something rude into the title, or a gripe about the MIL. Just my tips

And avoid sleb death fest dates!!

hambler · 26/06/2009 00:43

we don't need bigoted condescending know -it-all moderators as lots of the ordinary members are just that and more

welcome to mumsnet!

you need to pick a group

bum sex

wankery [high brow]

there are inbetween subjects but that about covers it

Nice to see you here.

tried several parenting forums - mn is the best by a loooooooong way.

Just don't post anything too inflammatory until you have been around for a bit of there will be a universal "troll" cry.

Avoid AIBU until you are sure people know who you are!

Tortington · 26/06/2009 00:45

ha ha hambler - true true

thumbwitch · 26/06/2009 00:45

neither - just jump in on some wacky thread and be brilliantly witty; or on AIBU with a strong opinion that SOMEone will be bound to disagree with; something like that. If all that fails, find one of the long-running chat rooms and come and talk to people there.
The Bbbbarr is one, the twilight zone is another, there are lots more depending on your circs.

And yes, were you on Netmums? What did you say?

pickyvic · 26/06/2009 00:47

no but i think it was on a par....

funnily enough i registered with netmums but the hugs and posts along the lines of " i cant help you but ive posted anyway there by raising your hopes that someone out there actually give a shit, someone else will be along in a minute" sort of put me off! i think fluff has its place...i quite like the honesty on here though. hope that doesnt come back to bite me on the arse.....

Just take it all with a great big dose of vino and you shall be fine.

Welcome

pickyvic · 26/06/2009 00:54

nah it wasnt on netmums but an equally fluffy place thats getting very very disneyfied....no swearing allowed.(if you swear now an error message pops up and it wont actually allow your post to go through!) no speaking your mind. no nothing much anymore unless your being very nice and huggy!

i called the mod a condescending arrogant know it all who of course was an expert in parenting...(which she clearly isnt judging from her recent posts)....

OP posts:
pickyvic · 26/06/2009 00:55

oooo now vino i can do.!

OP posts:
thumbwitch · 26/06/2009 00:57

nah, come and play on the twilight zone - we love swearing!

pickyvic · 26/06/2009 00:58

lol! thanks....might mosey over!

im sort of wishing id chosen another user name but id better get myself know around these parts before i go changing it then eh?

OP posts:
thumbwitch · 26/06/2009 01:04

I reckon so, or you will have problems!

Goblinchild · 26/06/2009 01:09

Found you!
Did you tell them about the special bucket pickyvic? You can share mine if you forgot to pack yours. Only because I'm writing reports and mustn't be too honest, it's full of hot chocolate instead of mead.
But I added little fluffy marshmallows.

thumbwitch · 26/06/2009 01:10

eh??
is that a special bucket to be sick in then?

pickyvic · 26/06/2009 01:12

oooo goblin she totally peed me off....i let rip as much as you can let rip and not get modded....how many people has that bloody woman chased off that site now?

id go for the mead anyday....how the report writing going then? many more to do? and have you seen mrs august round these parts any? shes very quiet on here aint she! not like her at all!

OP posts:
Goblinchild · 26/06/2009 01:13

No,it's usually full of the favourite alcohol of whoever owns it. Wetaugust usually goes for rose, I like rum or mead, or red wine or...well you get the idea.
But if I get drunk I'll have to proof read my reports in case I didn't wrap up the plain truth in enough euphemisms.
Hence the hot chocolate.

Goblinchild · 26/06/2009 01:14

The sn section of That Other Place is a bit dead now all the feisty ones have gone walkabout. No one to talk to at gone one in the am.

pickyvic · 26/06/2009 01:15

thumbwitch ive obviously overdone the mead....cos ive forgotten...its either a sick bucket of one filled with the beverage of choice..

OP posts:
Goblinchild · 26/06/2009 01:16

I'm going to pop over there now and see what sort of shit you've been kicking up girl.
Got fed up of all the 'What's your favourite...' threads?

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 26/06/2009 01:17

Link, please?

[nosey emoticon]

pickyvic · 26/06/2009 01:18

arhhh there we go...

yes mine is a 4ltr box of aussie dry white...

well i was (was) still knocking about a bit on the other place but it has gone rather quiet since everyone has gone hasnt it.

think i may take up residence on here. it does tend to promote less crap and more honesty.

OP posts:
pickyvic · 26/06/2009 01:24

lol....ive been (had to be) very restrained but there is a certain mod that was an absolute cow and it started when she got really clever and took the piss out of people with SN on a thread....she ate her words more recently when her DD got excluded from school....

she is just a clever know it all bitchy mod.and i lost it on the most daft thread.

goblin come back wont you...im not sure i dare go and look - its probably been swept away by now anyway. or shell have come back with a clever and witty reposte....not.
