to wonder why another MNer would randomly send me a CAT message asking me to indulge in slagging off other threads?

Never heard of this MNer before (but then I have only been around here for a year and regularly posting for about 6 months). Claims to be posting under a new name but was previously someone else on here - whose name I have seen on threads - and asks me to indulge in some slagging off of threads. Ignored message and then find myself being referred to as "poncetastic" on a thread I posted. Can accept the accusation....probably am a bit poncetastic at times....but all seems very strange "coincidence".

AIBU to wonder question posted in title of thread?

AIBU to think this is pathetic behaviour?

AIBU to think that this kind of trolling etc happens all too often on MN?

(am trying to steer clear of starting a thread about a thread issues here ).

what i need to do now is throw in some piteous fact like

"well you lot didnt know that peruna is the only style for me because i have four arms" or somesuch

i do have an ancient peruna beige cord jacket I would like to reveal as openness on ALL ISSUES seems to be the trend on mn atm

Tamarto - I daren't ignore my 2 year old as she will systematically destroy the house. Mind you she does that even if I am watching her, but tends to get hurt less in the process!

Shall i start naming all the people who have ever slagged off a post on here

is REVEALING ALL the name of the game?

TutTutter · 23/07/2009 13:39

lololol at four arms necessitating overuse of tie-dying

morningpaper · 23/07/2009 13:39

Can I just say that I've never slagged off another poster at a meetup nor heard anyone do it either? And I've never had any emails slagging off other posters or sent any, thanks. This assumption that there is some off-board world of tittle-tattle drives me

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 23/07/2009 13:39

does the jacket have a flower made of lace pinned to it?

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 23/07/2009 13:39

Glad that's all cleared up then.

I was always puzzled about black boots and jeans.

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 13:40

lol @ "no time to stalk"

well I (personally) know how long it takes to rack up as many posts as you and I are both capable of

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 13:40

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 23/07/2009 13:40

Per Una is the only style for me as I have four tits. Will that do?

For the record - I wasn't offended at being called 'chicken' merely very confused!

I mentioned it here because it came in the middle of a load of weirdness on that naff photo thread and I was just totally perplexed as to why setsquare made the comment. Maybe she was shit stiring but maybe not. Maybe she confused me for someone else.

CybilLiberty · 23/07/2009 13:41

You've never catted me you bitch

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 23/07/2009 13:41

how dare it call itself a Per Una jacket without frilly lace trimmings!

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 13:41

and of course because SS has said it's a joke - and we all know who she really is - the it really was just a joke .

Tortington · 23/07/2009 13:43

god is this news? she has ben doing it for years. so rubbish that a relative newbie has been part of it - and funny that her famous name doesn't carry the kiss arse it once did.

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 13:43

oh fgs
it was a joke
anwyay
i have things to do
youot carry on talking about a thread...

kathyis6incheshigh · 23/07/2009 13:43

Per Una was actually very nice for a season or two after it was introduced.

Redazzy · 23/07/2009 13:44

I have been around for years but I lurk far more than I post. I imagine (could be wrong) that most people on here are not in close outside contact with others outside MN. I love MN because I don't personally know anyone and much as there are some really great people on here, don't actually want to! Am I completely wrong? Do you all secretly know eachother and have huge, enormous coffee mornings in secret?
