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 ).

Subject: Re: Contact Another Mumsnetter message

Hi

I got your message through Mumsnet. I think you might be confusing me with another MNer! I do remember your posts from when I first joined MN last year when you wereXYZ but don't think we actually know each other.

Sorry. This sounds snotty doesn't it!! Not meant to at all. Were you after MrsJohnSimm by any chance?

TRMJS

"adn LOl at no one ever talking about a thread off line

yeah. "

Really? Is this a common thing then? Do some Mners run concurrent chats offline as well? That seems a bit pointless - surely it can only be good for a thread to have all opinions on it.

How very controlling.......

"I am sure that if you visit the site of your local council you will find details of some schools in your area which should have playgrounds you can go and indulge your need for childish backbiting in."

I don't think anyone should do that. It could get them into a lot of trouble.

TheFallenMadonna · 23/07/2009 13:31

Style and Beauty and the outrageous use of 'poncetastic' and 'chicken'.

Tee hee.

I don't ever slag people off off-board. I'm disappointed to think it's common behaviour.

CybilLiberty · 23/07/2009 13:32

SetSquare · 23/07/2009 13:33

Tamarto · 23/07/2009 13:33

Just because it's the holidays doesn't mean we have to turn into the children!

What is controlling about talking to someone else about a thread on MN?

Is Style and Beauty some sort of bitch haven?

slyandgobbo · 23/07/2009 13:33

roffle at per una

gemmummy · 23/07/2009 13:33
