To think that the recent spate of troll posts and deliberately provocative posts are actually ruining mumsnet

[lucyellensmummyisnotmad]

I love AIBU, i love a good barney same as the next guy but really, i haven't a clue what is sodding real anymore. I love the fun trolls, especially if they are clever. But when it is about sensitive subjects or just insulting our intelligence - its getting a bit much and i wonder if MNHQ should be considering some sort of control?

You need Maiden Juice.

It is odd this hostility you have encountered here WWC. Lots of people seem to have taken against you.

Its very strange because, despite the nest of vipers reputation, Mumsnet is generally a warm place.

And yet you seem to have a really very poor reputation such a short time after joining.

I have to tell you, it really is very rare to see posters openly discussing other posters in a negative way.

I wonder why it should be the case with you?

it's gorn

...and there was me not bothering looking cos I thought it looked boring

Offers love and herbs to all (at a remarkably reasonable price)

Me too SpringHeeledJack. I always miss the exciting threads. ALWAYS

MNHQ - bring it back, please?

It was very brief - it was mainly us being silly..

Bibbity is right. No one usually voices their concerns, myself included. But WWC is another league imo. Not often I stick my neck out (usually my chest tbh) but I hear sirens in my head when I read her threads.

WWC:
The major complaints about me seem to be that at various points I have alluded to or made direct reference:

1. I have created a situation in which to tell everyone I have a Nanny.
2. I have told everyone that I earn above the national average and so does my DH, and I've even mangaed to mention that we live in a posh Edinburgh house...that is smaller than his ex's house...which is worth over £3million.
3. I don't think it's reaosnable to be abused by drunk step children even thought they have been emotionally damaged by the termination of their 'parents' relationship.
4. I started a relationship, moved in with and married DH too soon - without leaving sufficient mourning period between us and his ex-gf.
5. I don't believe DH should be providing a huge house and handbag money to his ex, think paying school fees is ok because we have so much money.
6. I am a pro-breastfeeding militant.

you seriously don't know why people don't like you when you boast and tell people what to do? Do have freidns in RL?

After reading that precis I now have sirens in my head..

I like my sirens, they lure me on to the rocks.

WWC is my role model. I aspire to her life.

That isn't my impression tbh... I think there is a clique of people who call themselves regulars.

Some of the posts here are intensely spiteful, for example, the lady who posted that her nanny wanted to take the day of her C-section off - and she was bombarded with horrible replies, which bascially said she was a spolit rich-bitch.

Nasty and really unnecessary.

There is also a tendency to accuse anyone who posts a supportive respoonse to me of being a name-change-me! When people protest they are real, they are often told they don't understand properly etc...

I can understand that you don't like my opinions, and you are entiteld to have your say, but there are ways to say things...

I was quite shocked that a male(I assume) poster was happily speculating about what might go wrong with my birth, and a crowd of other mothers just let him do it, and even jeered.

What sort of people are you - I think making comments like taht to a pg woman is just beyond the pale.

That precis was embellished by me, wwc wrote her own but I added to it.

WWC, you do sound very young and immature that you require validation for the life you speak of.

WWC Have you got any spare change?

Gissa job.

I actually posted about having a nanny on the childcare issues section - someone stalked me over there, and then asked me direct questions about it. So what if I have a nanny - is there something wrong with it? Lots of mothers have childcare/work, and I have no issue in them talking about it.

Posters asked expliict questions about DH's house - a divorce court (if DH could actually divorce her) would say she was over-accommodated and make her move. It is an entirely relevant detail.

1. I am a pro-breastfeeding militant.

Eh? I suppose if you want to think that. I think I am a loving mother doing the best by my child - and teh World Health Organsiation and the RCM and the NHS, and all those other well-known militant organisations (NOT) agree with me.

you seriously don't know why people don't like you when you boast and tell people what to do? Do have freidns in RL?

Yes - but most of them breastfeed and live in big houses too.

Stalked you?

FFS you think you're a MN sleb?

Give me strength. Delusions of grandeur deary.

And here I am feeding you

I have large breasts. Can I come and stay?

No, but it should have been and may well in the future..

Can I just deny my big housed and breastfeeding past..

WWC - honestly and seriously now - why do you think you are so annoying?

Does it really boil down to cliques and regulars?

Come on, you know thats not true.

Am now leaving thread to cook a delicious meal from scratch so you'll have to forgive me if I don't engage further for a while.
