Wow. Got married a week ago and just checking in from my lovely honeymoon in Corfu where I have no need to WORK MY BUZINESS every day due to having two weeks paid leave from my J.O.B. It's certainly kicked off in here - not quite sure what happened but that might be due to some consumption of lovely non-MLM local wine. As you were....

fitgirl26 · 08/07/2017 17:58

And as far as I'm aware no-one missed my wedding due to malfunctioning electronics.

Jonsey32 · 08/07/2017 18:00

I never even saw the bloody thread!

I'm bored of all this bully talk though.

The actions of that chimp person today was actually tantamount to bullying. Name calling,swearing, not listening to anything and going off on a tangent - making threats and putting words in people's mouths.

All in an effort to defend someone who claims they're being bullied?!

What a load of contradictions!

Jonsey32 · 08/07/2017 18:05

Oh and congratulations fitgirl26 and I'm super pleased you have a decent bunch of friends!
Enjoy your wine!! X

I didn't see it either and I also know who reported the thread and she also told the woman concerned about it. "We" (collectively) thought it was disgusting and deeply uncalled for.

Twunk · 08/07/2017 18:12

(Actually not true I did scan it and then left it to be reported)

Spongebobette · 08/07/2017 18:14

Well I have to say, all those shenanigans have certainly reinvigorated this thread!

By the way - Congratulations, fitgirl. Flowers

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 08/07/2017 18:15

What have I missed!? I have been in London all day shopping and drinking cocktails, paid for my job, SHOCKER!

Now.. Workingwithnewchimps, you have the comebacks of a 8 year old and a seriously classless person... you're also a fucking dick.

Twunk · 08/07/2017 18:19

Well yeah I've not been on MN for a while - someone must've said my name three times or I might have seen our visitor

Twunk · 08/07/2017 18:25

Oooooo Congrats Fitgirl Wine Flowers Star

acatcalledjohn · 08/07/2017 18:25

@TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow

She'll stop talking to you now unless you apologise. I found that out ages ago.

It's bliss Grin

CurlsandCurves · 08/07/2017 18:29

Aside from all the hoo ha what self respecting, professional business person engaging in an adult discussion of said business, calls people a 'melt'?

Is s/he 15 or something???

(And who is Browbot please?)

acatcalledjohn · 08/07/2017 18:30

Congrats @fitgirl26, hope you had a fab wedding day and were able to celebrate with those people who matter in your lives!

Congratulations fitgirl Flowers

I guess you won't be joining acat and I on our mission to run off to Utah to become MLM brides? Grin

CommonSenseIsNotAllThatCommon · 08/07/2017 18:37

Oh for crying out loud who left the door of the crazy stable open?
Interesting choice of name, after all the whole point of MLM is monkey see monkey do.

Anyhoosers hard to believe it's thread 30. I've lurked and sometimes posted from the start.
Younique has just launched in Ireland and Vida Davina is supposed to be launching cosmetics or some such. I have now got four bots.

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 08/07/2017 18:39

acatcalledjohn she's never spoke to me fortunately 😂

Spongebobette · 08/07/2017 19:00

Yes, congrats Fitgirl!!!! 🥂🍾

Oh dear lord.

Amazingly she's been asked to go to a school and talk about cyber bullying.
I don't believe it for a moment.

Spongebobette · 08/07/2017 20:09

May be true

Exploit every opportunity to promote your personal brand.

She's been asked on a Saturday?

Of course she has.

Twunk · 08/07/2017 20:16

Oh Em Gee that's hysterical.

Thanks for giving me a laugh! I needed that.

Jonsey32 · 08/07/2017 20:19

were people bullying her on this thread last night?

I don't think this thread bullies people , it just comments on things that are in the public domain to be commented on.

But I don't know what went on last night. We're people bullying her?

Spongebobette · 08/07/2017 20:28

Not at all Jonsey

Someone set up a thread pretending to be a friend of hers; she had let this friend down by not going to her wedding on a flimsy excuse of GHDs breaking. The bot has since removed the post she had on her page about this

It was not nice that someone impersonated her friend to create a thread; I'd call this person a troll because they did it to create a reaction. They were successful in provoking a reaction but Mumsnet were alerted to the deception. And deleted the thread.

Since then the bot in question has posted that she's been targeted by online bullies and has elicited sympathy on her page for being cyber bullied, without explaining the circumstances. She's received a lot of sympathy and her personal brand, which contains themes of 'overcoming bullying' etc, has been strengthened.

It's a shame that her minions are not more alert and aware, really, but when you sign up under one of these uberbots part of the package is a sort of hero worship.

acatcalledjohn · 08/07/2017 20:28

People are always bullying her.

That's how she keeps people interested.
