Hi all. Just to let you know, Essbee is taking a bit of a break from MN, so you won't be seeing her for a bit.

I saw her this morning and will see her again soon, and will, of course, pass on any positive messages you'd like her to hear.

ok - leave it - thanks anyway

sounds a bit confusing or at least I'm confused.

fennel · 23/11/2006 14:39

aha greensleeves, another one to check my xmas meal thread.....

TeeCee · 23/11/2006 14:40

Oh and if she does tell you Rhubarb, what will you do?

Rhubarb · 23/11/2006 14:41

TeeGee, it was Sherlock who wanted people to stop going about that particular thing. I was on the thread too, getting angry at Mumsnetters launching into personal attacks and starting other threads with the intention of carrying on a pointless argument.

I also knew the full story. Like you say, it's hard when you only knew half the tale. I knew their defence of that MNer was misplaced. So frustrating when you can't set the record straight!

By the way, I saw Essbee's ds this morning too. He's just doing mornings at school atm and while I gather he isn't being very co-operative with schoolwork, he is looking a lot better and brighter than the last time I saw him (two weeks ago). He's definitely on the up, but it's a slow recovery. He has terrible tummy pains most nights, but with luck that'll be one of the symptoms that will subside very soon.

Get very angry.
I just want to know so I can avoid them and give them evil cyber stares!
That ok with you?

I'm not trying to police MN or anything. But I've been in contact with essbee for a while now, I know what she's been through and how much she needs MN. It's crap if that is taken away now. With all the good that is going on MN, this kind of thing just sours it for everyone.

TeeCee · 23/11/2006 14:43

But isn't what s happening here carrying on an argument between 2 mumsnetters?

If Esbee wants a break then she should be allowed to have one.

Rhubarb · 23/11/2006 14:43

It's why she wants a break that bothers me. I'm not sure it is what she wants.

FredBassett · 23/11/2006 14:44

Jools - I can email you if you want, I think I was the last to post on it, it definately wasn't you or anyone else on this thread though.

its been deleted so leave it.

hope ds feel better soon essbee and you as well.

Quadrophenia · 23/11/2006 14:45

I don't think Rhubarb needs to defend this thread in anyway, I think her concern is genuine for someone she cares about and tbh if someone upset a friend of mine particualry at a vulnerable time, i would want to knw about it.

TeeCee · 23/11/2006 14:46

Do what you want Rhubarb, it jsut gives me a bad taste in my mouth all this wanting the dirt dished, baying for blood, etc.
No-one here really seems to know what went on, Esbee wants a break, she'll be back.
She'll get support from RL friends and people on MN who are in touch via email.

Anyway, whatever, I hope Esbee and her DS are both ok and send them both my love too. Other than that, I'm not interested in who said what to who and avoiding anyone etc.

Gingerbear · 23/11/2006 14:48

I contributed to that thread with a hug and support for Essbee.
Am sad that she feels she has to stay away from MN due to what others have said.

TeeCee · 23/11/2006 14:48

I didn't ask Rhubabr to defend this thread btw - but it seemed she was angry for someone the other day for what I thought she was foing on this thread.

If she's freinds with Esbee she should email her which I believe she's done.

Rhubarb · 23/11/2006 14:49

Would you not leap to the defence of one of your friends TeeCee?

I know what you are getting at. And you are right, that person probably should not be named on here, the only one to do any naming and shaming would be essbee herself. But excuse me for getting a little upset won't you? I count essbee as a friend and the thought that someone could upset her angers me and of course I want to go and knock their block off!

We don't always act sensibly. But I now bow down to your sense and maturity.

Take care essbee and come back soon!

zippitippitoes · 23/11/2006 14:51

I think there are times when it is good to have a break from mn especially if it is having a dtrimental effect

probably best to slip off and use private contacts for support which is what she is doing

hope things improve soon

TeeCee · 23/11/2006 14:52

R - I'm the most loyal person I know and I'd want to see anyone who upset my best mate, for sure.
But the naming and shaming thing makes me feel uncomfortable and tbh I think Esbee would feel the same way. However I'm sure she'd be touched to know you were concerned about her and she'd love to get an email from you.

That's all I was saying.

Rhubarb · 23/11/2006 14:53

No worries TeeCee! I do understand your point! I can be accused of acting irrationally at times, but hey, we're all human!

(if you do want to name them though essbee - feel free!)

oliveoil · 23/11/2006 14:54

stop being so reasonable, it's not the MN way

Rhubarb · 23/11/2006 14:55

Ok.

BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD!
(sorry TeeCee!)

MascaraOHaraIncredibleSheHulk · 23/11/2006 14:56

Haven't a clue what's going on but hope Essbee returns soon.. Don't think I ever recall her being nasty to anybody!

Like I said hope she's back soon and all is well for her
