Cogito

Anyone know whatever happened to Cogitoergosometimes?
I thought she was very insightful and helpful in relationships.

There have been a few regulars like Buffy in feminism that have vanished recently. Whatgowaan?

OP posts:
usualsuspect333 · 28/06/2015 12:28

Maybe she name changed.

FinallyLearntToBudget · 28/06/2015 12:32

Yes - she was a name that really stood out to me when I first joined MN (in 2012).

Optimist1 · 28/06/2015 12:34

Agreed, Cogito has left a hole in MN! I wondered about name changing, usual , but can't see any poster exhibiting the same combination of wisdom and kindness that she did. Sad

MadeMan · 28/06/2015 13:27

Maybe she ran away with the DHL courier.

mrstweefromtweesville · 28/06/2015 13:29

Has there been a MN purge?

regretsihaveafew · 28/06/2015 13:37

I miss her measured and honest responses full of common sense and logic. I hope she's ok.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 28/06/2015 13:39

She's definitely missed. If she's changed names then I've not recognised her.

BeyonceRiRiMadonnna · 28/06/2015 13:40

She did got AWOL for a while but she's definitely back, I've seen her commenting on recent threads

Keepithidden · 28/06/2015 14:31

So glad she's back, I always liked to picture her and AnyFucker as the same person, so often saying the same thing, but the method of delivery was completely different!

Great posters and taught me a lot. MN wouldn't be the same without them, like FWR without Buffy...

Optimist1 · 28/06/2015 14:53

Sadly I don't think she is back - did an Advanced Search for posts from 1st of June and nothing comes up. There's someone with a similar name but IMHO not the same poster!

Keep - your observations about AF being an alterego are brilliant - the two posters on MN who always hit the nail on the head. (I fantasise that AF is in fact Janet Street-Porter!)

Atenco · 28/06/2015 15:41

Another one here missing Cogito and hoping she is ok

I don't know where she is either. Some people just seem to disappear for reasons of their own. I don't think she has name changed.

AnyFucker · 28/06/2015 16:09

Somehow you knew a thread was in "safe" hands when she appeared Smile

MadeMan · 28/06/2015 17:41

"I fantasise that AF is in fact Janet Street-Porter!"

I fantasise that every person who posts on here is really just the mulitple personas of one single slightly mad brilliant mind, in effect talking to itself.

shirleybasseyslovechild · 28/06/2015 17:47

I have never ever noticed any similarity between cogito and AF

Greenrememberedhills · 28/06/2015 17:48

I was wondering that, too.

Ouchbloodyouch · 28/06/2015 17:49

I hope all is well wherever she may be

MadeMan · 28/06/2015 17:50

Used to be another poster called Dahlen who's gone as well. Think they gave decent advice too if I remember rightly.

handfulofcottonbuds · 28/06/2015 17:52

So many on here talk a lot of sense and have helped a lot of people, maybe even without realising.

Cog is very respected on here I always thought she was on the payroll Grin

Come back Cog.

Anniegetyourgun · 28/06/2015 17:53

Or maybe she just got sick of the number of posters who spelled it "Cognito"!

MadeMan · 28/06/2015 17:55

Their legends will live on deep within the many stone halls of Mumsnet Towers.

BradleyCooperwillbemine · 28/06/2015 17:57

I miss her too. I do hope all is ok with her and would love for her to come back.

Walkacrossthesand · 28/06/2015 17:57

'Izzyizin' is another one who suddenly disappeared a year or so back. I guess we'll never know why.

HelenaDove · 28/06/2015 18:00

I miss seeing her on here too. Hope shes ok.
