why was the text to sister about op's dh zapped?

[LEMmingaround]

Surely it was genuine???

I still believe that was a real thread until MNHQ say otherwise. My mil is in her 60's, and to be honest, I can imagine her being like that about the sex aspect and being considered a "prude". I also think that the way she wrote was like someone of that slightly older generation, with the exceptional politeness and wanting to ensure they replied to everyone.

Despite the job I do, I still like to see the best in every one, so I hope it isn't found to be a fake. I guess time will tell.

givemesomethingnicetoeat I totally agree - how would iwashappy prove it?

I agree with the poster above too, that her tone was too consistent and her whole post was quite unsensational. Usually the ones who troll post sensational stuff which presses lots of buttons and gets everybody whipped up. It would have been boring to write iwashappy's style of posts after that long a period of time, if it was not real!

I lurked a lot during the summer holidays, and I remembered reading a post about a woman that found dodgy texts on her husband's phone (she also mentioned that they ran a business together) and as iwashappy went further into detail on her thread, it rang a bell with the thread back in August. I did believe it was genuine as her posting style was very consistent through both threads...

But Felicity why then post unnecessary details which were demonstrably untrue? Notwithstanding the repeated use of techniques to draw in the readers and the frankly abnormal responses to what was allegedly happening.

Could I ask which posts you considered "demonstrably untrue" Charlie?

I know people have said about the son, and the solicitor saying his uni fees would have to be paid via maintenance, and lots of people commented on that. However, not everyone gets loans/grants, if your parents/household earn over a certain amount you aren't entitled, and it is expected that they will support you. Therefore I didn't really find that suspicious at all.

Yes what were the unnecessary details Charlie?

If I was iwashappy and I was a troll, I would have been bored to death churning out her OP and all the follow up posts...

I wonder if Charlie is referring to the 'Daisy' thread and got mixed up. Because that definitely had unnecessary details and techniques to draw people in.

I am also curious as to which posts you found "demonstrably untrue", Charlie. Was it the pension age? Or were you suspicious before that?

No, I thought the 60 year old woman used techniques too. She did say some things which couldn't all be true - some things made other things impossible. Re-read the thread, don't want to get in trouble. Red I think the point is you'd be bored churning it all out unless you were a troll, who on earth has that amount of time, especially in the middle of something that distressing.

Thread about another deleted/suspended thread just been deleted.

So the OP was the recipient of the B&S text? Or giving the text of that text was a technique?

Well, I was well and truly duped, as were many posters. Looking back, it was odd how in the beginning she mentioned several times how "nice" the OW was, and that she managed to guess dog's birthyear as the code.

I wish I could work out how to tell in advance whether OPs are genuine.

Has the thread about the OPs Dp who had a strangely close relationship with his workmate gone?
The one where she kept referring to them as "blokes" all the time?

Oh the dog's birthday finally cracking the code - yes that was a bit weird!

I blame the book deal thread. It's bringing out a whole load of badly written, over imaginations!

*over active

AFAIAC the thread by IWas only started to get faces when she talked about getting her pension and her age since a very recent birthday. The dog code wasn't suspicious to me, I used to have similar details as passwords about my late cat.

Iwas - I hope you are making it up so that you aren't actually married to a cheat but if that is the case you need help.

I can't believe that was made up. If somebody had been to a solicitor then obviously it would be foolish not to consider pension. Maybe I'm naive, but calling 'troll' because somebody does something that you yourself would not do is ludicrous. You see it all the time when people call troll. People react differently. Why wouldn't somebody use their dog's date of birth as pin code. It's easy to remember but less obvious than wife/dd. he probably thought it was a stroke of genius.

Also, without knowing why, I guess I did feel more for iwas than I did for Daisy. I like to think that that's a reaction to truth (or not), but not a trolldar that is revolving on top of my patrol car, more a safeguard that somehow stops me giving a shit sometimes, and even i'm not sure why.

Can I suggest it's important not to assume someone's lying just because the details don't make sense to us; it may simply be that we don't know all the details

FWIW - and this is all I'm going to say on the matter - there are still places where women can get a pension at 60, providing they've paid full contributions before a particular date

Yes, if I were writing a very personal thread, I would probably chance ages and sex of the children.
(Oop, given myself away now!)

I don't think creative writers are the trolls :) I think it's people with mental health issues.

change not chance.

That is indeed true Puzzled, but in this case that wouldn't fit with other information freely and unnecessarily provided.

How sad.
I spent a long time reading that thread. :/

I had a feeling the whole thing was made up, don't know why.
Still, it was disappointing to see it was zapped, I really wanted to see how it all turned out even it was was a load of bollocks
