Unflouncing/returning

Thank you User1853somethingsomething (you used to be somebody) for your post, I didn't flounce exactly, but am a returner.

Only in my head was I flounce perfection (swish, flick, pivot, exit) but I didn't do anything other than deactivate my account & delete the MN icon from my favourites bar.

Unlike Usertobesomebody I wasn't a prolific poster or that known, but neither am I a newbie so felt that forum was inappropriate for my needs.

I'm unflouncing after about 3 years (or more) and being polite by saying hello.

So hello Flouncers. I understand your flounces, but it doesn't have to be forever.

Have to admit I've never flounced. Not at all known and change names every so often. I've had a few periods of not being on MN as much and I know when I need a break soon

It seems the same, a little tense at times, some golden threads, etc., mostly interesting/amusing.

If I'd been away a week I'd not have announced my return, I have a little pride. Three (ish) years though and I feel like I'm so behind the times, and am stumbling back into a party after being rude to the host & insulting all the guests. (I didn't).

I'm not even sure which forum to choose, I used to lurk on AIBU.

But I like a debate too.

And a light hearted love lollop so any recommendations gratefully received!

There's been many many ructions of late.

As there have been regularly over the years. But the consensus seems to be the place is overrun with trolls. Mostly in AIBU!!

EarlessToothlessVagabond · 08/09/2017 20:22

I was politely ignoring your love lollop. There's a sex topic you know Grin

SooFlora · 08/09/2017 20:27

Can't say I'm surprised (and thanks for ignoring my love lollops) phew

Same happened on another site, went to the dogs it did... now closed because obviously no fun anymore.

Bah. I thought MN were quite good with Troll Management? Although after long enough I think it just jades everyone.

Ah well, I'll not unreturn just yet...

Don't just take my word for it. The responsibility!! I can't handle it!! Have a look round yourself and suss it out. You might find it Ok...

EarlessToothlessVagabond · 08/09/2017 20:32

I must nosily enquire what the other site was? Bad Mothers Club?

SooFlora · 08/09/2017 20:41

Hello. I used to be here a lot 7yrs ago. Returning to see what it’s like. Any changes? Grin

BobLemon · 05/10/2018 23:35

ZOMBIE(ish). Any returning flouncers from long ago, I’d like to ask - particularly if you lurk in AIBU and generally the trending topics - have you noticed an increase in “I have anxiety, btw” posters? It seems that every second post there’s a MH drip feed. I know MN isn’t RL, but how are there so many? Really? Is this new?
