@Snapespeare

Does MNHQ have access to PMs? I know I've reported some in the past and not quite sure what the outcome was.

(Can you tell I'm a negotiator?)

Yes, we can see PMs - but please report those you want us to look at (or we wouldn't know where to start)

And - arf Grin

RowanMumsnet · 11/09/2013 09:54

@KinNora

MNHQ, Bant is unable to access his account and PMs to bring to your notice the personally insulting messages he was sent and wishes to bring to your notice.

Noted - thanks. We will take a look.

Kirstywirsty · 11/09/2013 11:39

OWW and me!! .. Can you pm me the group details? I don't think anyone can look me up by name

OhWesternWind · 11/09/2013 12:15

Oh no sorry Kirsty!

lubeybooby · 11/09/2013 13:08

have pm'd you Kirsty

unBant · 11/09/2013 13:14

Hello....

Thanks to everyone who said such lovely things. I'm normally, as you know, a macho type of guy, think Chuck Norris, Stallone, that kind of thing. But I was sitting looking at the screen last night getting all emotional and everything.

You're all wonderful.

MNHQ came back to me, said that they were right to ban me as another poster and I had had bad blood in the past, and I'd been warned before.

I, of course, always think I'm right, but then I would, as that's human nature. They're trying to act impartially, responding to the things that upset people, and following their policies. They do have a very very good point and so thanks to them for reconsidering this.

I promise to be good.

Aaaaannnnyyywwaaaayyyy... Anyone got a date lined up?

lubeybooby · 11/09/2013 13:20

welcome back :o

JoylessFucker · 11/09/2013 13:21

Date ...? Nope, only at interviewing stage. Although I do seem to have a replacement FWB Smile Mind you, that's always the easier recruit.

Anyone else, Kitty when are you seeing Mr Car next?

JoylessFucker · 11/09/2013 13:22

Oh & great to see both our banned lovelies back Grin Wine Grin

OhWesternWind · 11/09/2013 13:25

That sounds good Joy! Tell more . . .

News from me - Alpha has got the all clear!! More than relieved, in fact I had a little cry in the loo this morning when he texted me. Good times ahead (especially tonight, he is going to be a broken man) Grin

Hoping all the lurkers who've appeared will carry on posting.

BringMeTea · 11/09/2013 13:34

Hurrah for the dating thread! Long time lurker here who felt compelled to comment after knowing the 'history'. I hate to see injustice. Very pleased to see that MNHQ has listened.

Oh, and that is just great news OWW. Fill yer boots??

OhWesternWind · 11/09/2013 13:40

Something like, Tea . . . Can't wait. Life feels very good today.

JoylessFucker · 11/09/2013 13:40

Ooooooo errrrrrrrr OWW does he know just how broken? Wink

I am utterly delighted at Alpha's news and especially pleased that one of our thread's success stories is racing on. Have fun lovely!

Replacement FWB is clever, witty, great company and shall be called Cyberman. Oh & he gives a great aromatherapy massage too Grin

Kirstywirsty · 11/09/2013 13:48

Yay for Alpha OWW .. Does he know what he is letting himself in for???

MsApprehension · 11/09/2013 13:52

OWW Hooray!
unBant Hooray!
Joy Potential hooray!

kaumana · 11/09/2013 14:00

lubeybooby · 11/09/2013 14:00

Hello BringMeTea please do stick around :o

OWW I am so grinny for you!

Joyless :o

JoylessFucker · 11/09/2013 14:06

No, no, no ... lurkers please stay. You've all shown your true colours in their magnificent peacocky splendour Wink Seriously, its been great and it makes the thread even better when there are so many voices.

BringMeTea · 11/09/2013 14:10

Aw you guys are ace. But i am not a dater so don't feel have much to contribute. Just love following your stories and feel genuinely happy when it comes good for folks.

SweetSeraphim · 11/09/2013 14:56

I'm not a dater either Tea, I just hang off their coattails around with these women Grin

kittykat10 · 11/09/2013 15:07

We are seeing each other on Saturday I think. But we text .most days as well.

KinNora · 11/09/2013 15:12

Well now that's all very much better, isn't it ?

Seconded/thirded/whatevered, please stay around lurkers - it's everyone welcome here.

lubeybooby · 11/09/2013 15:18

I guess I'm not a dater either now really as coupledom is confirmed and haven't been about much recently but this thread is my actual precious baby and anyone single/dating/not dating/coupled/married/whatever is welcome... having a range of opinions on stuff is v good!

superdooperpenguin · 11/09/2013 15:35

Pleased to see order has been restored to the universe!

I have a date tonight with garden man. First date since I broke up with POF guy after 3 month fling, I'm feeling a bit meh about it all to be honest! It's a lot of effort to keep meeting new guys all the time.

Also a peeved as I've had an interesting prospect do a disappearing act. All going well until I mentioned my children, it's a bit hurtful. My profile does state I have kids but I haven't written about them in the main body of my profile. Hey ho, onto the next victim I suppose!

oww I would love to join the fb group but I'm not sure how I feel about giving up my anonymity yet! Makes it easier to post truthfully knowing that nobody actually knows me!
