To feel hurt at troll accusations?

I posted a thread this morning that has shocked and saddened many MNers. I was a bit judgmental in my OP because I was in shock. People questioned why a person would come on here and reveal such awful information: I had no one else to talk to.

I made nothing up. I didn't sit weeping all day, that's why I have other random questions on MN today, and nor did I concoct a fantasy world either. As you can all see, I have frequently posted topics on MN and reply to others. I feed biscuits to real trolls, I'm not one!

Certainly my OP was true but perhaps in poor taste or badly worded: I wasn't thinking straight.

I feel physically sick knowing that people here think I would make up a story about a baby being accidentally hurt. I didn't.

People thought that the family involved would be recognizable by location if you figured out where I stay. I have always used the city I lived in as a student as 'home' on here, it's not actually where I am. I revealed nothing by way of identity and am angry to be accused of such.

That said, many people talked me through the sad situation and shared good tips on helping an injured child. You are all lovely.

I'm leaving MN now, decent people should not be made to feel monstrous here.

Thanks.

Dont worry Viva please dont leave. I have been called a troll many a time or been made to feel stupid, on here and i agree some people are too quick to shout troll when that is not always the case. MN is really good, and AIBU is not always the right place to post as some people can be absolutely shite.

RedbinDippers · 09/03/2010 23:40

Shiney:
I'm as well as ever, how about you?

pigletmania · 09/03/2010 23:41

The other forums are brilliant and people have been so helpful, as i said AIBU can be full of knobs but not all. If you do post on AIBU people can be quite harsh and judgy

Great, we must have missed each other on the where did you get your name from thread.
Are you going to start a new chat thread or would you like me to have a go?

catinthehat2 · 09/03/2010 23:47

The new approach, which I like a lot, is simply to say that you don't believe the OP's story.

a) Gets round the IP problem

b) Enables you to commit a Mumsnet ThoughtCrime. Result!

I feel a Mumsnet ThoughtCrime coming on.

Shiney - I'm off to have a look. I can't imagine why you would think that any title I come up with would be contentious in any way.

SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus · 09/03/2010 23:53

Still don't see what all this fuss over bof and shiney is about, keep seeing their name mentioned on here and a lot of them arent very nice, hurling accusations etc. They both seem nice enough to me

Am I missing something or summat ?

BogofFun · 09/03/2010 23:56

I am dying on my iPhone now, battery going, shall bid you all goodnight
