Are you allowed to pass on PMs? Isn't it against MN rules? Could you even be banned for that kind of behaviour?

I bloody hope so.

johnnydeppshat · 17/06/2013 22:16

bant, im really sorry, but i dont know what you mean. maybe you could look at msC's post again.

I might also suggest that somone would only be banned if mnhq deemed it so. usually people just get told off? You cant request a banning of someone, so i think maybe your anger is directed in the wrong place.

What do you mean I was willing to share my version? With who?

KinNora · 17/06/2013 22:18

Ike is someone a lot of us are very fond of and who actually contributes in a constructive fashion to the thread, rather than acting as a Lidl agent provocateur.

Mistakes I'm very sorry about your mum, cancer is a bastard.

StupidMistakes · 17/06/2013 22:19

It looks like i have missed soo much on these threads. Is it so wrong for me to want someone to love me. It feels weird being completely alone in the world. My sister and me will never talk no more. I have always known that though.

I do like the person who likes me but emotionally I am a wreck so now is not a good time to Start a relationship.

akaWisey · 17/06/2013 22:19

HaHa!!

Main thing is you were having a grand old time!

Me and Wembley Bloke are still chatting. We are still negotiating a potential date. I'm keeping my powder dry Grin.

ProperStumped · 17/06/2013 22:20

Grin I am SO using that.

(and presumably you'll see I blocked your PMs because of your stunning lack of self awareness and childish need to name-call)

So you wasn't inferring that Watch name-called in pm's????

She wasn't and didn't

velvetspoon · 17/06/2013 22:22

Mistakes/MLM I do remember you (I was Hatesponge back then).

I am so very sorry to hear about your mum. Having been through the very sudden loss of a parent in my early 20s I understand a little of how you must be feeling (my mum was unwell for a couple of months, but we were only told how serious it was a matter of hours before she died. The speed of it all was shocking, and I felt overwhelmed with grief afterwards).

I hope you have supportive friends who you can lean on and who will support you. This will be a terribly hard time for you, but even though it may seem impossible now, you will get through it. I will be thinking of you and wishing you well - and if you ever want to PM me, then please do.

Mistakes - you will be loved. you have been dealt a cruel blow a number of times

But - you have shown you can turn things around and you can do it again

You need this time to grieve and I hope your friends are supporting you. There are some great organisations that help people cope with loss, have you thought about looking into some of them

Many hugs to you

johnnydeppshat · 17/06/2013 22:25

stupidmistakes, there is a topic in here, i think its bereavement, that if you posted on you should get some support and understanding. Its an awful tihng to lose a parent, more so when its unexpected and before you expect. I am so sorry. Thinking of you. I also hope your problems are working themselves out.

Bant the only point you have is in reminding me that the sort of men who make assumptions about how I dress or how much make up I wear, are beneath me.

Interesting use of quote marks by the way - suggests that actually you think I, with my occasionally slightly revealing clothing and hint of flesh showing - am not the catch I think I am...

But feel free to tell me I'm imagining things.

OhWesternWind · 17/06/2013 22:27

SM so sorry you are feeling like this. Of course it's not wrong to want to be loved, most of us want that. It might not be the best time to start a relationship, but if you already know each other and there are feelings there, I hope you will find he's a source of comfort and support and things will just develop at their own pace. So sorry for your loss.

Bant - for one, it was offensive and more than one person agrees it came across as a dig to Velvet - which is why people commented

Well, the only people who appear to be offended by Bant's supposedly offensive comments are Velvet, MsC and Johnny/Watch/whoever. Quel surprise.

SM I was lurking on here when you were last on as MLM. So sorry for your loss.

JulietteMontague · 17/06/2013 22:32

SM that is awful about your Mum, I'm so sorry for your loss.

OhWesternWind · 17/06/2013 22:36

I've not seen any anger or hatred from Bant, just the utter weariness that many of us are feeling at yet another round of pointless sniping and nastiness derailing what is normally a wonderfully supportive and entertaining thread.

ColinButterfly · 17/06/2013 22:38

Well you were right - had the thanks but no thanks message (finally). Duly blocked from whatsapp and have deleted my account. I'm not tough enough for this malarkey at the moment.

Flipper924 · 17/06/2013 22:38

SM, lovely to see you here, and so very sorry for your loss. OWW sums up what I think about the person you quite like.

I hope Ike can come back soon, and I hope that a lot more of you realise that it's perfectly ok for people to have different opinions, even if you don't agree with them. Being unpleasant to someone because their opinion differs from yours is unnecessary and spoils the thread.

StupidMistakes · 17/06/2013 22:38

I currently am doing counselling and have my second session this Thursday. I am trying to get help to overcome everything but it's so hard right now. It was very quick, but also very painful. I had to find out from the crem when the funeral was because my sister wouldn't tell me, n when she did she told me I had missed it. Surely life must get easier.

Thank you to everyone for your support. I also have cruse bereavements details for after I finish counsellin

johnnydeppshat · 17/06/2013 22:38

western, i suggest you re read the thread then.

I would also look at whos doing the sniping and the name calling here. because if you read back, its not actually who you think it is.
