Did you ban John Hemming (the MP) for outing me ?

999 replies

CarpeVinum · 21/12/2013 23:47

Cos he isn't on The Thread.

And I'd like to know why.

I am immaginging that the party whip we've been phoning, emailing and twittering has tied him up and run off with his keyboard.

Can I hang on to that fantasy, or did you ban him ?

It's not the end of the world to me that he posted my twitter account, knowing it was me and knowing it was my real name. But I will quickly drum up some minding if required to purge MN of his presence.

Just been fossicking about on the internet as alternative is clearing out daughter's room and found carpe's interesting excursions!

Thanks for that, I now know a barrister has challenged JH to a debate in Grays inn hall! That would be amazing, a real chance to bring issues out in open that really need airing.

Looking at the twitter feeds of those who support JH is a very sobering experience. So much hatred.

Its accidentally being Retrweeted, Oops.

MmeLindor · 28/12/2013 14:51

Gosh, I have missed all the excitement. Was lurking on your earlier threads but Xmas got in the way.

Am quite shocked at this. Intimidation and bullying tactics should not be tolerated. Will be very interested in seeing what MNHQ have to say about this.

Ok, I feel a bit Blush now at the sweeping statement 'any publicity is good publicity' which is clearly wrong and stoopid and not thought through.

I think is it the misogynistic aspect of the little women getting aerated about something and therefor needing a pat on the head before the PMT gets too much that is really annoying me.

That, and the minor issue that very vulnerable people in horrible situations are being fed deliberately dangerously misleading information Angry.

Mignonette, you clumsy thing. PMT?

Mignonette · 28/12/2013 14:56

T'was my frozen, cold Winter fingers that accidentally hit the send button Blush OOps

Mignonette · 28/12/2013 14:56

With a head tilt too.

BoreOfWhabylon · 28/12/2013 15:13

Any chance of a link to Carpe's excursions via the medium of a pm?

PacificDingbat · 28/12/2013 15:14

Bore, the above link links to a thread with links to the 4 previous threads that kicked all this off.

Too many links, sorry.

BoreOfWhabylon · 28/12/2013 15:22

I'm a bit confused, Pacific (par for the course), what above link? Have been following/contributing on all the previous threads.

PacificDingbat · 28/12/2013 15:23

Oh, you posted the aforementioned link as well, didn't you?
I think I am more Confused that you - also par for the course... Blush.
Doh.

IamtheZombie · 28/12/2013 15:24

Zombie is going to have to join Twitter, isn't she?

BoreOfWhabylon · 28/12/2013 15:25

How does one become a twitter Zombie? Am techno-numpty

BoreOfWhabylon · 28/12/2013 15:27

Duh! Not a twitter zombie; meant 'a twitter, Zombie?'

Mignonette · 28/12/2013 15:28

PM me when/if you all join Twitter and I will follow you.

BoreOfWhabylon · 28/12/2013 15:28

And [grim] was to Pacific!

PacificDingbat · 28/12/2013 15:28

No bloody way on this earth will I join Twitter - I can barely cope with the time I waste spend on here!

Zombie, you could be the official Luddite Representative Grin

IamtheZombie · 28/12/2013 15:32

Zombie has hitherto resisted for the same reason, Pacific. She's not sure she can hold out much longer though.

Now she has to come up with a good 'handle'. Suggestions welcome.

CarpeVinum · 28/12/2013 15:34

Zombie want my account ?

I am not very good at flapping. I hate twitter. It doesn't let you have enough WORDS!

Stupid Blue Bird with stingyitus. Why can't it be more like MN. I know how to work that.

If anybody feels like retweeting, there is one my timeline thingy to Guido Fawkes. I think, but am not sure,mthat if that one gets retweeted he might see it more. Or something like that. I reckon her gets lots of tweets and my por baby tweet about IMPIRTANT STUFF! is being buried in other peoples bollocks.

Mme is being fabulaoso ! She knows stuff! I vote her cheif Birdie.

No seriously, whoever invented twitter should be ... fed worms or something. I need more WORDS!

I don't do concise. Tis painful. End up with 19 tweets just to finsih a single paragraph.

Come and say hello to me on Twitter - and here's a wee guide on how to do it I promise I won't talk about what I had for breakfast

I am @lynncschreiber

Tbh, I don't think folk joining up to promote this campaign will help much, cause you need to have a few followers for it to be worth it, but I am all for enticing more people over to The Dark Side.

MmeLindor · 28/12/2013 15:38

Oh, and don't RT stuff to Important People - it might get you banned, before you've even found your wings.

Here is campaign twitter help if you want to delve into that a bit

It is really quite tricky to fit all you want to say into 140chts but I like the challenge.

CarpeVinum · 28/12/2013 15:41

Oh.

See I told you I didn't know how it worked.

Don't retweet the Fuido Fawkes one ! Listen to Mme I will get you banned.

bugger.

OP posts:
MmeLindor · 28/12/2013 15:42

It might not get you banned, but they are a bit funny about spam.

Try changing the wording on the tweet a bit, so it looks less spammy.

CarpeVinum · 28/12/2013 15:45

I am supposed to change the words when ai retweet ?

Oh crap.

I will be banned shortly then. I have been merrily retweeting e tire things with no editting.

Ritht. Am deffo going noe to collect DignifiedTeen .... before he throws Kevin-esque hissy fit.

MmeLindor · 28/12/2013 15:52

No, not when you RT someone else's tweet. When you tweet same thing to different people.

eg if you tweet 'Which MP harrassed me on Mumsnet and illegally revealed name of vulnerable child' and @ it to lots of people, it may get flagged as spam.

I am not a great fan of tweeting slebs tbh. Find a few bloggers who are interested in this kind of story and start chatting to them.
