faces dont fit
clicks
trolling
stompin off

i hear coddy has gone dont know why( do tell coddy/jane whoever you are) - ks went - i know that one - traceyp went as she felt the mn tone was being lowered - anyone else go?

anyone brave enough to point out the clicks to me?

there was a "why are you all so quick to condemn" - that i nearly nearly got what was going on - but didnt quite - as like all of these threads inc. " am off" types they always refer to the "other" thread - not naming it.

any other gossip?

thanks v. much in anticipation

Surely I cannot be the only one who finds the majority of Cod's posts insulting?

jampot · 12/10/2004 12:30

we all have differnt personalities and moods and mine certainly change durig the day so with 20,000 hormonal women what do we all expect???? there's bound to be a bit of shoving and pushing and piss taking. I for one would like other MNers to say to me if I have made a horrid comment "Jampot - that was bitchy" instead of making sweeping statements

jampot · 12/10/2004 12:31

I find Cod's posts funny - I can actually picture her saying them (without actually knowing what she looks like)

anothercatamongstthepigeons · 12/10/2004 12:31

me too.......sorry..........

SpringChicken · 12/10/2004 12:32

I didn't realise CountessD had gone either - i really like her and always appreciated every coment she made or opinion she offered me even if it was different to my own!

Agree with Twinkie - people don't always get on in real life so why should they on mumsnet - this can be a place where great laughs can be had and i personally cannot wait for it to go back to that

soapbox · 12/10/2004 12:33

In the main I like Coddy's posts as they are funny and it lightens up the day.

As with all of us, occaisionally she doesn't quite catch the mood! But hey ho, live and let live

CATP - I think it is a shame that you changed your name - now that is something that really annoys me Coddy also take note

agy · 12/10/2004 12:34

I don't really mind Coddy/Jane. The first thread was great. One of Mnet's classics.

soapbox · 12/10/2004 12:34

And also - I think this is getting ever so personal - bound to end in tears again I fear

agy · 12/10/2004 12:35

I miss CD

mothernature · 12/10/2004 12:36

I find it distressing that so many mner's are feeling as though they are no longer welcome here, I wish I had the time to post a long posting but I have to go to work....I would like to think that things said on here to oneanother are things anyone would be brave enough to say face to face, if in doubt, think it out..nuff said off to work....

Titania · 12/10/2004 12:36

where has CD gone??? I thought i hadnt seen her for a while........

spacemonkey · 12/10/2004 12:39

I don't think CD has gone, she's just not been posting as much lately

catamongstthepigeons · 12/10/2004 12:41

I have to change my name to be honest about someone, I know cod gets loads of support from other mumnetters and in that way I find it very cliquey. I have always found her postings disagreeable, and not just on the well known threads. It is very hard to tell her that without having the whole of mumnsnet on my back. I am not being nasty, I am just suprised that she gets so much support when I constantly see her posts being very unsupportive. We all have our own views, thankfully, but most of us are more tactfull.

I am interested to see that someone else already agrees with me, I wonder how many others will own up.

I wonder how many of you could use your own name, when you know you will come across a bararge of insults in return?

elliott · 12/10/2004 12:42

CD spotted posting on 11 OCtober so not gone
Will go away now, never normally post on this type of thread....

beachyhead · 12/10/2004 12:43

I'm not sure why people can't take the bits they want from this site and pass on the bits they don't like. Most of the time I find it all amusing, but if I was having a bad day and it pi*d me off then I would just log off. Its the same when you go to a party - if you are not in the mood and you are not having a good time, then go. The next party you may be right in the middle having a great time.....I'm afraid to say I mostly like the tittle tattle chat stuff the best. SAD AND SHALLOW

Well boring voice of reason, sorry

spacemonkey · 12/10/2004 12:43

Just as in real life, if I find someone disagreeable I avoid them rather than confront them about it unless absolutely necessary.

spacemonkey · 12/10/2004 12:44

agree with beachyhead

SpringChicken · 12/10/2004 12:44

CATP - i do understand where your coming from to a certain degree - tbh, sometimes i read Coddy's posts (Sorry to talk about you as if you aren;t here Codster ) and think she is being a hit harsh in what she ways or taking the mickey but i do honestly believe that is just the way she is.

I don't think she is deliberately trying to be nasty or horrible or make people feel uncomfortable

soapbox · 12/10/2004 12:44

But CATP - why is it cliquey to say that you like her postings. I don't know her from Adam, and have no reason to support her at all!

bonniej · 12/10/2004 12:44

I'm using my own name as I'm not a very well known poster, anyway. I agree with what you've said CATP. I tend to stay away from posts that Cod has posted on in case i get the p* taken out of me. Saying that she can be amusing and has got loads of friends on here. I've been using mumsnet for about a year and do feel it is going down the pan. can get very nasty sometimes.

soapbox · 12/10/2004 12:47

I know that she can be a bit harsh at times (or that's how it comes across) but TBH what can be more harsh or personal than posting that you don't like her posts...

I don't get it at all - how would you feel

jampot · 12/10/2004 12:47

coddy/jane only posts what she thinks - same as the rest of us. I know I have a tendency to waffle and I wish I could be as concise and clear as her. I also know that I can sometimes come across that I have or know someone that relates to sometimes obscure postings (ie. the child who's dad wasn't IYKWIM) dh's cousin really is albino and this really happened to her, my mum died on my ds's 1st bday (i so didn;t want to put this on KATG thread as her's was so much more tragic) and loads of others - so if anyone feels like "oh here she goes again" then i;m sorry

SpringChicken · 12/10/2004 12:48

True Soapbox.

I'm leaving now cos i can see this heading the same way as many others!

stickynote · 12/10/2004 12:49

Agree Soapbox .

JuniperDewdrop · 12/10/2004 12:50

I think we should stop the name calling now.
