Your worst moment on mumsnet?

OK - this is meant to be lighthearted & not meant to stir up any old battles. Just noticed a few posts recently from newbies suggesting that they haven't found mn particularly easy to break into at first and, being newish myself, just wondered if any of you old timers would put us newer members at ease by sharing any memorable snubbings, false troll accusations, clangers you've made, threads that really DIDN't work out the way you meant them to, etc...

Ideally you'd be able to laugh at them now rather than still being bitter

Oh, and when the child-free wedding thread went sour

Come to think of it, I've had the shit kicked out of me so many times on MN it's amazing how full of it I still am

PeachyClair · 28/02/2007 19:42

we can see you honest

we all get those ignred posts far mroe than any others I promise

harpsichordcarrier · 28/02/2007 19:42

ha, yes I had been here about a week when the Aptimel thing kicked off, and I contibuted what I thought was something fairly innocuous to a thread and everyone went LOOPY I was so surprised because I hadn't been here long enough to know how sensitive a subject it is.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 28/02/2007 19:48

"celeb posters"?

Harpsi, I do remember your jokey thread. Twas fantastic.

Greeny - you have been virtually kicked around, but, i think you have lots of important things to say, and you are very good at saying them.

You are also very good at witty, superior put downs

Cod, where the hell would we start with you!!!!

i started one about children standing in trolleys
Have to admit although I got seriously told off I did learn by it

Blandmum · 28/02/2007 20:02

Oh the argument I had with JJ was all down to me being a bit of a twat at the time. She is one of my bestest mates on MN now

Jimjams2 · 28/02/2007 20:06

Sweet of you to apologise MB, but I have absolutely no recollection of it! I can guess what it might have been about

Oh god I've had so many hideous mumsnet moments, no idea why I'm still on here!

Started a thread asking what a chav was, as I didn't know, and it soon transpired that I was one

WideWebWitch · 28/02/2007 20:07

Oi Zipps, did we fall out? Or do you mean the thing we emailed about where we were erm amusing ourselves about something that is No Laughing Matter?

I hate the threads where I've disagreed with someone and it gets to the point where I get a rush of adrenaline when I see they've posted even before I open it because it's all turned nasty. It gets me banging around my house grumpily.

Children at weddings ones have sometimes gone a bit wrong but I've enjoyed them.

but mostly I love it here.

MegaLegs · 28/02/2007 20:11

That Boden cardi lady thread was the first I ever read on MN. I larfed and larfed and then I stayed. (Nearly a year)

ruty · 28/02/2007 20:12

awful thread about muslim cartoon furore. I was a complete twat. Ds was ill and i shouldn't have been on MN at all. Learnt a lesson there.

ghosty · 28/02/2007 20:12

I think my worst moment was replying in tears to a thread Hunker started about bottlefeeding/breastfeeding. I clicked on it when I was having a bad day and had a real go at her
She emailed me to apologise and had the thread deleted ... which made me but made me love her lots

i vaguely remember someone posting about a problem with her kids and her mum and her neice (or nephew, cant remember) and she asked for opinions and i gave mine and she left mumsnet because of it! (or came back under another name, who knows)

oh well.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 28/02/2007 20:20

ROFL MTPW! I think you've had that happen once or twice

You were always right though.......

"I hate the threads where I've disagreed with someone and it gets to the point where I get a rush of adrenaline when I see they've posted even before I open it because it's all turned nasty. It gets me banging around my house grumpily" Ha ha www, I recognise that feeling.

Currently, making spelling mistakes in thread titles

VeniVidiVickiQV · 28/02/2007 20:22

Oh you probably hate mine then Tinker

I only spotted it today - i started it yesterday.

harpsichordcarrier · 28/02/2007 20:22

lol me too

mytwopenceworth · 28/02/2007 20:22

VVVQV - I KNOW!! terrible, isnt it - but it truly is just my opinion, based on what they say, not me trying to be horrible.

why do people ask for opinions when what they mean is please agree with me that i am 100% right. im not a mind reader.

ho hum.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 28/02/2007 20:23

Quite.
