I was recently talking about her on the steiner/waldorf thread and read tonight that she has just split from her husband partly due to the lifestyle change required by steiner schools.
Just wanted to post here, incase anyone knew her and could point her to the thread here

Thebee, i really would stop now because you are giving yourself a very bad image.

Tbh I think your quite frightning.

"Are you disowned like the Scientology crew does if you leave"

Nah. I participated in a lawsuit against the executive board ot the General A.S. in Dornach some years ago. Small, not big problem. Met with one of its members and had a nice chat with him last weekend in Sweden.

Can MN HQ close this thread now, please? It's not even about Melinda BigBoobs anymore. It's just morphed into another ranty Steiner diatribe. SHUT IT DOWN.

captainmummy · 17/04/2008 12:43

Nah?
lol. He sounds like a 20YO with peircings and lots of body blue.

Shut him UP. Shut it DOWN.

I have tried bringing it back to the original question, unfortunately TheBee followed me from another thread.
This is why the steiner threads keep going as he tries to bait and derail the conversations. He doesn't want the image of stiener waldorf education to be threatened.

I really can't believe he is currently teaching at any steiner school, he hasn't got time as his full time occupation is stopping any negative comments on his belief system around the web.

That is why I asked the original question if anyone knows Melinda Messenger - I suspect before enrolling her children in the school she probably came across TheBees websites

I quite like MM.

I like the fact that despite being uber-gorgeous she seemed rather grounded and married her childhood sweetheart.

Very sad that they've parted, they've been through a lot together from what I remember from mag articles etc.

I hope it isn't something to do with education that they're splitting up, that would be incredibly sad and actually rather silly.

If you refer to my comments to Zzooey, see former posting - we both live in the same city and discuss, well exchange points of view at times on the net.

She teases me in between and I tease her. No big deal, probably in this case to her either. But you never know. She's at me for every small detail in everything I write, arguing extensively against it, seemingly mostly just for arguments sake.

So, she may take out the broom for me on this point too ...

I'm really really sorry too , for anyone who comes accross these to be informed about Steiner, that these Steiner threads have become so boring, repetitive and turgid.

If it wasn't for Barking, solitaire jamsam sheikyerb humphrey beetroot elf coco going on about mothering.com god that was so funny

I'll stick to mumsnet"

northernrefugee39 · 17/04/2008 15:44

I come on here to discuss our terrible time there with other people who have had simlar traumas with their familes.

thebee as everyone probably knows by now, has been stalking and harassing me for a while, his only apparent motive to stop me telling our story.

He has apparently , either through his websites, spies or personally, blocked and/or deleted similar discussions at other forums.

He must be furious he hasn't managed to scare mumsnet towers, so takes out some childish spite by harassing mums, by posting what they think are real names.

Did you read Shiek's haiku bee?

captainmummy · 17/04/2008 16:25

Is he 'teasing' you northern? The thought makes me cringe on your behalf. (60 Y-O man teasing you playfully...euurk)

oiFoiF · 17/04/2008 16:28

are many mums at steiner schools former glamour models

Nbg · 17/04/2008 16:29

It has nothing to do with zzzoey's postings.

Just merely the thought of a 60 odd year old man without children on a parenting forum wanting to make people send their kids to a cult school gives me the creeps.

If someone wants to send their kids there, let them, if someone wants to share their experience be it good or bad, let them.

northernefugee39 · 17/04/2008 16:35

Captain I think he has little, if any idea, of how to connect socially.
He probably does think i"enjoy" his little game EUUGGHHHH!

Oh god, it really is making me feel quite ill.

REALLY

MrsMattie · 17/04/2008 16:37

This is all getting a bit weird and sexual. Or is it just my dirty mind? TheBee - would you give Melinda one? Would you? Is that what this is really all about?

Mrs Mattie - the Melinda thing is a bit of an irrelevance here. Wherever the word Steiner appears, Thebee will be buzzing around.

Solitaire · 17/04/2008 17:18

Oh Northern thanks for the appreciation of my humour!!

I hope I didn't offend anyone who has clearly had awful experiences of these places, but I couldn't resist baiting a self inflated pillock like buzzybastard

northernrefugee39 · 17/04/2008 17:21

Solitaire, your wit is unsupassed.
It's the thing that makes these threads so brill. have a look at this thread over here about mumsnet's fabness

Thebee · 17/04/2008 18:11

MrsMattie,

I couldn't care less about MM.

As Barking tells, see former posting by her, she started this thread to try to influence someone who might know MM to contact her and tell her to read the latest mega thread on WE here at MN, as barking seems to think MM has read somethng I have written, and that that might have made her choose a Waldorf school for her child or children.

In response, I expressed my disagreement with barking, see earlier posting. I suggested that 32 Ofsted inspection reports of Steiner daycare centers and independent schools would be a better source of info than the latest MN mega thread.

When Mamazon asked what Waldorf schools were, see former posting, I answered her former posting, former posting. I also told about the background for and nature of the discussions in the mega thread, and the role played by a gang of WCs in the discussion. I also added more sources on WE; a DFES study and articles by the BBC and The independent.

After some discussion of some misleading statements Northern has made about me, barking for some unclear reason started insinuating that I had "never played with another woman's bottom" posting in question and then again insisted on repeating the question.

Is that female British argumentation technique today, or just Mumsnet standard argumentation method, when you feel you're losing a discussion?

I don' care very much if I discuss with men or women here in thus forum, why should I, I discuss with individuals and I couldn't care less about MM, that I know next to nothing about.

Janni · 17/04/2008 18:28

There is only one poster on these threads who could, in any way, be considered to be losing the argument.

It is not Northern.

The 'gang' of Waldorf Critics is largely composed of parents whose children have now left Steiner schools, for quite compelling reasons, and who wish to discuss their experiences.

Thebee · 17/04/2008 18:30

People's looks or age interest me little as such. How people think and understand things interests me.

Thebee · 17/04/2008 18:33

Janni:

"There is only one poster on these threads who could, in any way, be considered to be losing the argument.

If you read what I wrote, it referred to barking in this thread.

I'm working on an answer to you in the other thread.

Janni · 17/04/2008 18:40

Thebee - really, it's fine.

Please just go and get a life

barking · 17/04/2008 18:49

Hey TheBee - "How people think and understand things interests me." You mean all the people who think the same as you do?
If anyone dare have an original or challenging thought that you don't agree with then you track us around the forum.

I'm not losing - competition isn't allowed in steinerland

"Is that female British argumentation technique today, or just Mumsnet standard argumentation method, when you feel you're losing a discussion?"

The reason I asked the very challanging quesion to you about bottoms Bee is I think of you as asexual, a sort of bipolar robot.

I'm questioning why on earth you would spend the last 10 years of your life chasing parents and pupils who have had bad experiences at steiner waldorf schools.
What are you trying to achieve other than squash free speech and derail yet another thread and advertise your numerous websites?
Haven't you got a study group to go to?

Anyway back to the question, does anyone know Melinda?
