LOL WelshBoris!

Sophable, love your phrase "homogenised gloop of consensus".

Pollypeachum, it sounds like you've had a baptism of fire!

Sorry you feel you've been ridiculed though.

JoolsToo · 15/11/2006 10:53

oh, is it a popularity contest?

I've failed miserably then.

WelshBoris · 15/11/2006 10:53

I love you JT

pollypeachum · 15/11/2006 10:56

well thank heavens i'm not alone. didn't mean to offend, it was entirely innocent and i think/hope more the result of me typing too fast in the intervals between babies than any real intent on my part!!!!
was initially aghast (shaking, red faced and all) when read mean post about me but then realised that the people i'd offended must have felt that way too. have clamed down now anyway. i hope they have.
oh what a wonderful thing the internet is.
will try to be nicer in future.
or not.......

I love you too welshy

maybe I haven't failed completely then but I'm sure you can't please all of the people all of the time! Chill!

i behaved like a thoroughbred twat on one infamous thread, not really for my views so much, but just getting into a stupid and needless petty argument with a [quite new and forthright] poster at the time. It wasn't my finest hour. I'm sure some posters still judge me for that, rather than the other countless threads i've been on, but so be it. I can't remember what other people have said or done half the time, so don't really judge other posters on anything but what they are saying at the time.

ruty · 15/11/2006 11:00

yes pollypeachum typing too fast whilst distracted by children was my downfall on that day too!

Tutter · 15/11/2006 11:02

"I can't remember what other people have said or done half the time, so don't really judge other posters on anything but what they are saying at the time. "

Ooh, me neither Ruty - I think that's a very good point.

The other thing you will find as part of the classic Mumsnet experience, Polly, is that the people you have disagreed with on one thread will end up agreeing with you on another - it's amazing how quickly what feels like a big rift can be healed when this happens

WelshBoris · 15/11/2006 11:08

Hey tuts!! How is tricks man? you still cool and kicking it and down wiv dad kidz?

Doesnt work does it?

fairyjay · 15/11/2006 11:12

polly
Mumsnet's like RL - some of us are more sensitive than others, some of us just don't care what others think, some of us are just not prepared to consider anyone else's opinion, some of us are swayed by people we know.
A tip - have a break occasionally!!

at a pinch, i treat organic tomato ketchup as one of the five fruits and veg a day.
i also think children's tv is a good thing, nay a babysitter even...

Fattymumma · 15/11/2006 11:18

no way is this a record!

i was called a troll on one of my first threads, i bottle feed, the thought of extended breastfeeding a child over 2 doesn't sit comfortably with me, i used disposable nappies, i have no strong anti smacking feeings, im a chav, on benefits, used to be a social worker, single parent.....i could go on.

basicly there is someting on that list that would cause somene or other to dislike me and you know what...i couldn't care less
