Names and termonogoly we use.

[Petunia12]

Honestly; I don't want it (Mumsnet) to morph into a sort of 1930/40's WVS type thing (but sometimes I think, why not?).

Please. please, can we all remember we're women and drop the dreadful, 'Chicks without Dicks', downward spiral into the materialistic gutter?

I just don't think it helps when someone comes here looking for help/support to be confronted by a gang of deliberately, nasty sharks that have long abandoned any thought of climbing back up into the light.

I thank you, Pep.

Petunia, here's £2, go and get a coffee.

really can't be arsed to read this - got t the end of page 1

I'm a school teacher in an inner city- do I win £5?

Thanks so much for taking the trouble to let me rant off. I don't know where it came from. I needed it - ranting off - and no one has been that cruel to stamp on me, perhaps because they know and can see.

To all or anyone I must have upset. I'm sorry. Like all of us I can be such a loyal and fearless friend to those I love, I just need a bit more digging into.

So tired. What a fool. Hurt me more than anyone.

If I've upset you so that it's really hurt, PM me.

Sorry to all.

Petunia, you need to get some help

And I mean that kindly

This isn't the first time you have made a fool of yourself on MN, so I expect you are doing it a lot in RL too.

Seriously, go for a chat with your GP tomorrow. Ask for help.

Know what? You're right.

How about you turning your own advice back to yourself? My fellow human being that apparently feels so worthless that they would describe themselves to the world so dismissively as to refer to themselves as 'AnyFucker'?

Glasshouses? Stones? With your name of your own choice you make a fool of yourself everytime you post.

Peicceesean, luv sista..

Or perhaps some crack?

Yeah, whatever. I shall not bite, because that would be like kicking someone who was down.

I did wonder, however, if simply the sight of my name would herald a reappearance of the "nasty" drunk rather than the sad and sorry one.

AnyFucker wasn't throwing stones at you Petunia.

petunia, I hope you're ok. I have to admit, earlier I posted pretty impatiently on here because I thought you were being a bit rude about MN. I'm sorry if I missed the signs you were so upset.

I have to say, I don't follow what is wrong and I think you have totally misunderstood AF's posts. She is a very caring poster, I know, and I am absolutely sure she is trying to say the right thing to help you.

If I may - and please don't take it the wrong way - I don't think asking people to PM you is the best idea. It's a can of worms. Your response on the thread itself is fine.

Take care of yourself.

Petunia maybe it's time to ask your GP for help with your drink problem.

All the best to you

Thanks for the non 'wind up' response - sorry but don't know the latest terminology.

AF. You said she's actually a caring sort of person - sadly not to me. The self inflicted name she chooses to post under says as much about herself as my own naked drink induced ramblings do about me. I just get/got the impression she was just so happy to jump in with the kicking when she perceived someone was down. I'd genuinly love to know what other posts of mine exposed me as a fool - or was it that she just dosen't agree with my particular experience and subcequent outlook on life. Fair enough.

I take your point re PMing people. It was just that I really didn't want to hurt any one - even AF and just thought that if I'd hurt or upset someone so much it would be only right that I wrote a private message.

However you've advised I don't do it and because of your reasoned post to a drunk that was raving I'll take it on board.

I'm not always like this. Thank you for your calmness, humanity and wisdom.

And to you too. Thank you for your concern.

AF's name doesn't say anything of the sort, honestly. It's a joke, possibly a fairly MN-y joke, but still one a lot of people on here like. It's not a personal comment on you, she's had it for years AFAIK.

And I'm not remotely wise or calm or humane, just calling it as I see it. No need to make a big deal of it, you'll feel better in the morning.

Af. Sorry but can't bring myself to call any one the full name you've given yourself, let alone a woman.

Coming down and read your last few posts on this thread. There was nothing wrong with them. Just like me you have every right to call yourself whatever you like.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry.

Petunia, I will tell you the story of my name. Tomorrow. Take care now.

Why does everyone have such long names here, you lovely person - DoomCat.... (con't P94).

Beginning to quite like AF's name....XXX

Blimey O'Reilly, Petunia! Do yourself a favour, missus, and leave this window open so you find it in the morning. I think you should come back for more of a chat. I'm off to bed now, with a moderately small drink

AF going to sign off tonight - done quite enough damage to myself today.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Everyone's been here telling me what a nice person you are, I'm so stupid when I get upset and let it beat me so I end up a real pain in the arse to all. sorry.

Sorry but you just writing again for perhaps another bashing means I can't and can't never, ever call you AF. X

Petunia, I hope you're okay.

Brave Babes

Come and say hi - we're all in the same boat.

This is the last post - er, where's that Bugler chappie?

Thank you all for being so long suffering and patient. I feel so embarrassed and stupid but so thankful I found here. Promise the next time (groan) I know I'm going down I'll just say it and then disappear for a couple of days, I can't believe the nasty twisted person I've presented myself to you all here. I'm going to have to swallow my pride and fear and confess all to the doc.

He's a she - but very stern, mature, and she knows she looks like a headmistress and plays on it. I was supposed to go for a blood test but I didn't because i knew my drinking would show up. What a coward, I'm all grown up but she frightens the life out of me - what a worm I am!

Been reading 'Mallory Towers', (Enid Blyton), and wonder if it's this that's made me so scared of her. I know it's not fashionable but I first read it when I was recovering from flu when I was eleven and I just fell in love with the perfect Gels boarding school, set in the fifties with all it's jolly Hollysticks chums. It's set in Cornwall with tennis courts and a path down to the (private) beach - NO chance of meeting someone like me there - Oh dear God, if I promise to be good please let me spend the afterlife there.

Any way, I'm going. Can't keep upsetting the world with my drunken cries for help. I say Gels - have we all TRUELY brushed our hair a hundred times? Then into bed everyone, Matron's coming. Sweet, innocent dreams everyone.

Honestly I am going to bed but just seen onesunnymorn's kind post. I'm hot footing it over there tomorrow - then I'm off to old Dragon Drawers up at the surgery to confess all.

I love you lot x

Don't really understand your thread, Petunia and have no idea what is really upsetting you; hope that you feel better in the morning!

Stop having a go atAF. She is wonderfully helpful to people in despair!!!

Petunia, you around ?

Have just read your thread, Petunia, really hope you're ok.
