You have made me cry.

I am sorry I posted at all on the other thread about popular mumsnetters. I said something to cheer up the people who felt down and nearly all I got was abuse back.

Someone said I knew nothing about other people's circumstances and that is true. But it is also true that none of you know about mine either. I talk on Mumsnet deliberately because of it anonymity. I don't want you to know me because I know you won't like me if you do.

I didn't mean to offend anyone and I am sorry if you took offence. Can you now say that you are sorry for reducing a very unhappy individual to floods of uncontrollable tears?

Chin up Lonelymum
Bugger what anybody else thinks
It's a website and although I too love mumsnet, it's not a popularity contest and it's certainly not worth crying over!

Well said Leglebegle! Agree with everything you said (from someone who wasn't mentioned on the golden thread either dont care, dont care ner ner) - I had a feeling it was going to end in tears though. Come back soon LM! (Hmm...shame RL hsan't got an 'off' button too sometimes ).

she's upset at the comments made back to her on the 'why are some MNetters so popular' thread this morning, which I have just read. That's what her thread says here, the comments are the same. don't really know what you mean lockets.

Lol at Mallory Towers - I agree it can get a bit like that sometimes - but at "these people are not really 'friends', its all anonymous cyberspace rubbish really" I personally think I have made some real friends on here - ones that I have met in person and ones with whom my only realtionship is through my keyboard.

I got that lockets, that's how I read it. Prufrock, I'm glad you made friends here, its all down to the individual isn't it? I personally dip in as and when I feel the urge, and see it as anonymous cyberspace. Shouldn't have used the term rubbish on reflection, didn't mean to offend. Its not rubbish at all, and is a wonderful source of which I have massive respect.
