I'm Jumping before I'm pushed.

[usualsuspect]

See ya.

Usual don't go. Please.

Christ, I missed everything.

The other thread was 'orrible, but not worth flouncing over. Don't leave, usual. Genuinely, don't leave. It's not OK to take the piss out of being skint FFS.

Hec can not leave. She CAN NOT.

Another one saying don't leave, please Usual, if people like you leave the po faced and humourless will take over.
We need you.
I didn't go on that thread BTW as I didn't believe a word of it.
I still don't.

Quint, this was the original.

MN have confirmed that Hecate's pm wasn't what the OP suggested.

MN will be boring if all the decent posters deregister.

I don't blame usual for leaving tbh. The goading and bullying and nastiness under the guise of 'telling it straight' are unbelievable these days. Usual voiced dissent mildly to an OP and there were pages vilifying her like she had written screeds of nastiness..she didn't.

Think I will do the same for a bit until all the full moon vileness has blown over (if it does)

Not that anyone will give a shiny shite though

I mentioned cliques Pag as I was utterly bored of the fight, usual was upset and i was trying to distract. I even managed sex talk for about 20 mins

Is all v tedious and why I don't use mumsnet any more tbh

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Ok halfway through the thread and it gets deleted.

Is Hecate ok?

Anything she has said to me in the past has been nothing but lovely and supportive.

I can't believe the flipping loony posters!

bloody hell it will soon be that all the decent, funny, sensible, barking posters will leave because of all the nastiness that has become so routine on her lately and we will be left with the back biting idiots
I see moldies happening all over again

Sorry foxinsoxs, I wasn't responding to you.

I just read all the fighty threads and the 'in crowd' and cliquey stuff kept being mentioned. It pisses me off because regulars seem to get shunted into some group every time. I have been told I am in a clique picking on someone with my mates when I have barely recognised another person on there.

It makes posters paranoid and I think much of the time it is just an easy pot shot.
This thread just was where I posted it - probably because I empathised with much of what Bof had posted. it's just frustrating

I don't often get the sex but I did send Riven porn.[actual fact]

there is an "in crowd" I call them that as they seem to be able to hound and bully people on mn and mn hq allow it.
most people are aware of it, and have at some time seen it.

Queen Bees and Wannabees - the book mentioned by someone upthread.

Most pertinent, and seriously worth reading if you've got dd's or ds's going out with girls.

Anyone who says it's not is in denial.

I have watched mean girls enough.... so take my lead form that

Well I wish I knew who they were. Because when I get caused of being in one - and the bullying and hounding that I must also partake in - it is irritating because it is untrue.
and being accused of it a few times when nothing of the sort was happening makes me dubious.

Perhaps if people would call it when it happens rather tapping their nose and muttering darkly on other threads

oh try doing that Pag, and then they would turn on you.
I can't see you ever being a mean girl

I agree with you Pag. Somebody posted a list upthread of the people who took a similar view to mine: I can safely say I don't know any of them well. Yet there are mutterings about cliques, being able to predict exactly who would queue up to have a pop etc etc. I am baffled. I've never had an issue with usual, why would I? Yet I'm getting the feeling there is something going on here that I'm being mushroomed over: being kept in the dark and thrown shit at. I think I'll take a bit of a break myself- I don't post so much any more as it is, but it's obviously not seldom enough to stay out of trouble .

I don't know. Maybe I am thick. Maybe I don't pay enough attention to who is posting. I call people on shitty posts and I report shitty posts. I don't ignore a nasty post because I know the poster. I also don't see ganging up. I notice wading in where a oupleof people post a negativevopinion and others one out of the woodwork to out nasty each other. I don't think that is usually the same bunch of regulars.

I will accept that I am thick as a valid reason

sheeps and lambs

Maryz you are too sweet to be in it

Hello Hully. How do?

Maryz your not in my one, I assume that everyone has there idea of who is in and who isn't I just go by what I have seem.
