I've realised I don't really like mn much anymore...

Mainly I think I'm tired of the sycophantic 'in crowd' who think they're all qualified to psychoanalyse other posters and close ranks if anyone not in the 'in-crowd' dares to offer an inconvenient truth or even just tries to join a conversation.

I realise I often say what should probably be left unspoken. I often post what people apparently don't want to hear, but I always post from the heart with the intention of offering genuine advice meant to help. Well almost always, occassional pmt-driven strop excepted...

What do I get - ignored or flamed, then if someone from the in-crowd says essentially the same, they get applauded for their valuable contribution just like being at school really.

I realise this is a reflection of how low I'm feeling in RL at the moment but where I used to take comfort from posting and reading posts on mn, now I just find so much of it pathetic brown nosing between the 'in-crowd'.

Not sure if I feel better or not, but there you are, its out in the open. Not really so much of a flounce as a weary dragging of toes...

Sorry guys but have to ask somewhere - I haven't used MN recently as much as I have in the past so am really out of touch. Just need to know what is a Mouldie? I've obviously missed something. Ta x

LOL - I think its best left personally

Sparkler · 12/01/2009 21:16

Ah ok then, I guess I can sleep tonight without knowing!

where has www's thread gone? Was she a mouldie? I don;t really need to ask that do I?

I always wanted to be part of those threads though. There was always some hope while they were still here within my grasp, though I never did fit in...

Oh quite a few of them are still here I think you'll find. Behaving as though nothing has happened.
I do the odd lurk, but I'm avoiding Mumsnet completely for the time being. Real life pisses me off, so why get pissed off by an internet forum?

Sparkler · 13/01/2009 20:09

Didn't want to know who they were just wondered what the word "mouldie" meant.
