Mumsnet mafia ??!!!

[charlyp]

Am a really new poster to Mumsnet having just found out I am pregnant for the first time EDD June 1st, have been surfing the site and making a few posts but have been very surprised by the amount of vitriol in some of the posts on certain subjects, and am amazed about people outing other people and everyone seems to know everyone elses business - more than you might expect on a forum? How does that work?? Is there like a bunch of people who all live in the same road or something? Just wondering as on most forums I post on there are lots of people sharing views but it rarely gets that personal inn terms of people getting to know other people off line. Made me wonder if there is a Mumsnet mafia in place!! Makes me alightly concerned about posting my thoughts and feelings about the things that are happening to me and about how my privacy will be respected.

*ill cough cough

welcome charlyp from what i can see youre going to fit in well here, and good luck with your pregnancy

creepyjess- i spoke to the person in question on msn all the time. i listened to her, trusted her, and yes even liked her.i told her things i dont tell many people, i listened to her problems and spent lots of time away from MN worrying about her

turns out she is a liar, an attention seeker and an adulteress.

the man in question had already outed himself on the thread on friday, she had given many hints to her identity. and the poster "thisissick" gave away MASSIVE hints. the speculating and guessing was pissing me off. i felt hurt

hi charly, hope your feeling ok, welcome to mumsnet

Thanks CreepyJess I've read a lot of lovely supportive threads so that's why I haven't run a mile

Completely understand why you felt/feel hurt WB. My confusion lies in your (apparent) lack of empathy for the innocent parties... and in your self-confessed enjoyment of the thread in question. It just made me feel a bit sick.

(Not what you said.. making me feel sick.. but the whole situation)

very tired, very emotional, not too nauseous, totally confused

might be why my sense of humour has been failing me somewhat

thanks to all
am a good person ..... really ... always saw myself as more of a frenchy type..

she deserves everything she has coming to

and so does he

they chest, they live with the consequences.

the only people i feel sorry for are the children and his wife.

a lot of people enjoyed it, why else would they have sat enthralled at their PCs? I was the only one that admitted to it

"they cheat" not chest

and it made me sick as well

I did say I barged in on the "due in Nov" thread Fio... ... and no I am not knocked up .. over my dead-a-la-Nana-Moon-body...

(It was Sean by the way.. pillows and a wig.. read it in the Mirror, nasty tacky tabloid... )

Not as sick as I felt when she MSNed me last night.

NO WAY

Yes Way.

I am in work, so can not go into it now.

We will talk tonight.

You weren't the only one that admitted it.. loads of people did!! I have to say I think many people were reading but not posting (as was I until the damage was done) not so much with enjoyment as with sympathy and horror... sorry but that's not the same as having fun!

I honestly have no sympathy for either of them

but yes I was horrified at the fact she was a serial husband shagger, thats not nice to hear about your mate

I am new to this also (six months now - am I still newbie) In my first weeks (and I hope nobody gets offended by me saying this) a woman whose desperatley ill DH was coming home and she got loads of messages of support as well as lots of people willing to become donors, a young woman lost her DH while on holiday and she has had lots of support, there are people with cancer, stillborns etc. and lots of other amazing people on here. I at the moment am concerned about a woman who has pre-eclampsia, which I had, and Im thinking of her every day. There are a lot of good people on here willing to give their unconditional support, there are also a lot of judgementals who get my back up but that happens in RL also. Stay with it, this site will help you.

charlyp, I take it your pregnancy came as a surprise? it is a confusing time, but v. exciting as well. You can chat to me about pregnancy, although it was a while ago I went through it, my dd is nearly a year!

By the way I love Frenchy too, I'd be her!

Oh okayyyyyy.. I am having Orlando Bloom's love child.. he lives locally you know.. (twas too good an opportunity to miss..) (perhaps you've had him too? Would reocmmend!!) But he ISN'T married.. and he ISN'T a Mumsnetter.. so take back your pots and kettles FioFio!

(And my DH clearly doesn't mind.. he bought me an autographed picture of Mr Bloom for our anniversary.. .. so no one getting hurt here! )

[and re "clique" alert.. yes I do know Fio offline.. but only because I met her on here.. and we live locally to each other and are 'afflicted' with 'similarly challenging' little angels.. )]

I'm sure most of you have lovely husbands.

But I wouldn't want to shag any of them.

I like 'em Scottish, as it is .

Yes LVT used to consider me to be one of the judgmentals, now she almost likes me.

LGJ wanders off, basking in the warm feeling of no longer being in LVT's sin bin.

[WB, with repsect and a .. are you deliberately misunderstanding that the sympathy to which I refer, is primarily directed at the partners of the two in question, who ran the real potential of being hurt by the naming and shaming, not to mention the running and running of said thread]

I have never and will never shag any one elses husband. Should I ever have the opportunity, time, inclination and energy all at the same time to shag a husband - it will be mine !

And I promise faithfully to only ever shag my husband and Orlando Bloom [takes vow]

Is Johnny Depp actually married to Vanessa Paradis?

B/c if not, then technically, I wouldn't be shagging someone else's husband by having an affair w/him . . .?

Don't think they ever got married. He is clearly waiting for you Expat..
