Hi and bye

[JulieMumsnet]

Can we remind you of our talk guidelines. Posting attacks on other members just isn't on.

Many thanks.

Ok Julie, fair enough. But please bear in mind the history of this poster, it's only fair.

[KinNora]

Hello 48 hope things are all good with you and that your mum is more settled.

[watchforthesnail]

i dont have any history, other than this continually happening, usually i argue back and dont deal with it in the proper way.
Today i did.

i didnt come here to be nasty, i posted as i had something to say, it was not inflamatory to anyone, it was not rude or nasty to anyone. It didnt blame anyone for anything, it was just a post. For that ive had a ton of abuse that is unwarranted. Ive been told ive got ulteriour motives and am treating people badly???

it literally makes NO sense.

Its just not on.

[watchforthesnail]

and it only continually happens from certain posters.

on no where else on Mn have i ever had any issue. ive been here since 2006.

@ProperStumped

Ok Julie, fair enough. But please bear in mind the history of this poster, it's only fair.

It's never fair to post PA's. Them's the rules.

I have been marking some exam papers. Then Mr Nice called and took me out to lunch and then we came back and spent the afternoon in bed .

Need to work a bit more now

If there could maybe be no more deleted posts that would be nice as it does tend to spoil the flow a bit y'know

[watchforthesnail]

it does :) i agree.
hope you had a nice lunch.

[48howdidthathappen]

Hiya Kin Mum is good thanks. In the process of getting a live in carer

Off out soon. There is a man cock expecting me

[Kirstywirsty]

I was in contact with one guy ( theairplaneengineer) and was supposed to be meeting him next Wednesday .. Then he sent me a rather snippy text and I told him to forget it (although he said it was because he had the cold and had been nightshift all week .. Ah well that makes it alright then ..

He then sent me a couple of insulting messages (confirming I had made the right decision ) and then last night he sent me a photo of a bottle of lube (??? Any ideas???) .. I have blocked him on POF but he has just whatsapp'd me asking if he is still in the bad books .. I an right to continue to ignore aren't i ??

I am going to block him on whatsapp as well but don't think I can block iMessages and texts

[OhWesternWind]

Whoever starts the next thread, could we have Bant's profile tips as well as the rules?

Oddly enough I find myself not busy online or arranging dates (though I might have a curry night lined up with College Bloke who is very amusing by text). Think I will wait til the hopefully smitten Alpha Scot gets back from abroad and see what happens there ...

[OhWesternWind]

Kirsty of course you're right to ignore him! He sounds awful. The lube has two connotations that spring to mind straight away, neither of them very good.

[watchforthesnail]

thats a good idea western, i like it :)

kirsty. no, dont engage, unless of course you just want something casual or a one off.

[Snapespeare]

Back from BbQ, had forgotten that BBQ friend had teenage daughter who had several teenage friends present. DS1 just doesn't get it. Tried to engage, they is order him a bit. Be was sitting on floor of teenage DDs room, tried to use her bed to stand up and broke it. Cue teenage histrionics. friend was lovely about it, as was her friend. DS1 apologised, oh but some times it seems accidents gravitate towards him.

I absolutely give up. Now have wine and shall therefore step away from the Internet for the evening.

I think part of the reason why I like nameless so much is that he was home schooled and doesn't like this kind of teenage hormone flying nonsense. Entirely possible he's very slightly spectrum as well, or at least is too fuzzy to interact with a great deal of people/slightly introverted, which chimes with me.

[Snapespeare]

Gah. 'They is order him a bit = they ignored'

'Be was sitting' = 'he was sitting' pp

Can you tell I've had wine?'

[Kirstywirsty]

I am just going to continue to ignore and cancelling him meant that I am free to meet MrNYC on Wednesday

[watchforthesnail]

or is it smart phone fingers?

You are so very lucky to find nameless and someone that just fits in with you. enjoy your evening.

[ProperStumped]

Julie, I meant that it was only fair to remember the history of this poster, not that it's only fair that we can post PA's

[watchforthesnail]

proper, please, just stop.

[ProperStumped]

Please don't try and tell me what to post, watch. I was talking to MNHQ. Thanks.

[velvetspoon]

I'm a bit disappointed everything has kicked off again.

I did say I didn't want a huge row on my account. I hoped there wouldn't be one. This all started because of me, Watch having picked up on something which I myself agreed with, that I wasn't really ready for all the move on, get on with it kind of advice. A slightly tough love approach works for some people, but it doesn't for me. I wear my heart on my sleeve, I had a lot of feelings for C, and it will take me some time of being sad, and feeling despondent, to get over it. Bant thanks for what you said in response to that, and you too Snape.

Now I know this thread doesn't revolve around me. I do think a lot of myself but not quite that much! Watch said something in her original post about me not receiving as much sympathy as others. I did say earlier I didn't feel people had been unsympathetic, and that's true. But it's hard not to notice that pretty much since then, with a couple of exceptions plus the ones mentioned above, there has been so much mud being thrown around, no-one seems that bothered about me not when there are points to be scored. Which actually sort of seems to prove the point Watch was making...I don't expect to be the centre of attention but it just seems a shame that things have gone off at a tangent just because one person has posted rather half those people having read what she actually said or my response to that.

I've probably not worded this very well, I am very tired having had about 2 hours sleep last night because I kept waking up and checking my phone for a text that never came.
