The user12345 handle seem to be made for trolling
there were lots of complaints but it took ages for Mumsnet headquarters to do anything about it

CharlieSierra · 26/08/2017 21:03

I read more than post these days; it's true that having all your interests in one place is the best thing about MN but I'm drifting away because of the gratuitous nastiness on a lot of threads and the blatant trolling. Interesting discussions and witty repartee do seem a bit thin on the ground lately.

CAT me you cunt

Wasn't that something to do with Valhalla and dogs???

Fuck me my memory is sketchy

BeyondLimitsAndWhatever · 26/08/2017 21:14

Valhalla!
There are so many posters that I miss and it's only threads like this that make me remember how many of them there are :(

Valuedopinion · 26/08/2017 21:20

Valhalla was great, should never have been banned. Always picking up the pieces from the idiots buying puppies.

SoPassRemarkable · 26/08/2017 21:23

Valhalla did some great education but could be very nasty to people sometimes......and not always to people who deserved it.

I always got the impression she liked dogs more than people......to be honest I'm coming round to that myself these days.

Oh valhalla! Wow. There's a blast from the past. She really was a font of wisdom wrt all things dog. How can we have lost people like Valhalla and be left with tossers starting threads to con people out of money being backed up by HQ Angry it's fucked up.

Oh gawd, I had totally forgotten about Valhalla! Shock

Valuedopinion · 26/08/2017 21:27

I think that she got so frustrated with some of the posters either offloading their dogs or not looking after them that she exploded a few times.
She saw the rough side of rescue and all the dogs being put down while people breeding more.

I don't blame her for losing it.

Grin maybe because she explicitly stated it repeatedly!

I like reddit. I also like MN.

Feel like I'm in those Aldi adverts.

SoPassRemarkable · 26/08/2017 21:34

Yeah. She probably did.

She was totally vile to me once. Can't even remember what about but I think it was that which got her banned. I swear I didn't report her though. I did feel bad when she was banned.

SoPassRemarkable · 26/08/2017 21:35

And I swear I have never offloaded a dog or been horrible to a dog. I love my dog as much as my Dd!

PacificDogwod · 26/08/2017 21:38

she liked dogs more than people.

She liked ALL dogs more than SOME people - and at times I can see her point.

Smegs Grin

I remember CAt me you cunt, but I can't remember the context

Me too, probably a bit more lately Grin

Weebo · 26/08/2017 21:50

I think CAT me you cunt was Bupcakes. It had something to do with meeting for a fist fight in a car park?

I wasn't there I have just heard it told along with other legends of Mumsnet past.

Christinayangstwistedsista · 26/08/2017 21:54

Has Cog gone too, I haven't saw her for a long time

Unless you are TheLadyEveningStar then it wasn't anything to do with you.

Val/DBF was banned after pulling TLES up on a thread. That was a travesty as TLES deserved everything she got, and frankly lots of other posters were far more harsh on said thread. After a (small) outcry Justine came on and said it was a final straw thing following numerous warnings about her tone.

TLES was banned herself shortly after.

Val/DBF is still fighting the good fight for numerous dogs and still putting up with the after effects of wanker ex owners.

BeyondLimitsAndWhatever · 26/08/2017 22:04

Oh god yes, it was an aibu thread wasn't it? With tles? I actually remember reading it!

Scrambled - daddy or chips? Grin

Oh god yes!! I think TLES was the OP of the first thread I ever read on MN. I remember thinking this place was wired to the moon Grin

SoPassRemarkable · 26/08/2017 22:16

Oh ńo def not TLES.

Justine saying something was the final straw ringsabell, Think Val had been a bit heated to me at around the same time.

mmzz · 26/08/2017 22:32

When I think about why I am no longer enjoying MN like I used to, it comes down to the trolling. There seems to be so many trolling threads now and I feel like such an idiot the times that I've been suckered in. When the thread finally gets deleted, I can't even hide it any more so it's a reminder Every time I go to "Threads I'm on" of what an idiot I was.
Then I try to spot them myself and so I find myself mentally troll hunting all the time. It's not much fun!

Even when there is an interesting thread, if gets filled up with people place marking, or waving to their friends. Or sending biscuits. So you have to wade through all that to find the intelligent comments.

It didn't used to be this way.
