therefore Ethan not a reg, but recent poster, whose mother started posting under her (ethan's) name, and ethan didn't realsie, and ethan's mother has now got ethaninto trub.

ethan is NOT cvq.

expatinscotland · 01/10/2008 23:54

i don't blame flame.

because, if you were there on the thread, people badgered and also she wasn't alone in naming names and so it's unfair to slate only her in the whole fracas especially now as thread's been pulled.

RTKangaMummy · 01/10/2008 23:54

stop stressing psychomum, I dont think anybody who was there from that point, actually blames you and/or flame.

RTKangaMummy · 01/10/2008 23:56

ok I am sorry for my confusion

I only read about ethan on the school photo thread

thumbwitch · 01/10/2008 23:56

certainly can't see anyone would blame you PSM5 and Flame did only start a tiny fire which then got fanned into a much bigger blaze by others. And yes she was badgered into starting it, but she did start it.

NappiesGalore · 01/10/2008 23:58

pc - all we know really is that ec is not for real, and is not a reg. we dont know that any of the 'mother' stuff is true. its only 'ec' who said that

QuintessentialShadows · 01/10/2008 23:59

But we dont know who EC's other posting name is, if there is one, and if she is a regular who conjured up the EC persona.

scaredoflove · 02/10/2008 00:00

EC was questioned by a few people about inconsistancies and EC, after saying she was being hacked/other people were using log in, fessed up and then said she was ECs mum, had set up account for teen mum daughter but used it herself. Then said 'it had you all going tho'

On another thread, people wanted MN to out who EC was. Lots of speculating. Psychomum and flame both said they were suspicious or someone after that person used a childhood story of theirs in their post, after much pressing, they admitted it was CvQ. No one said CvQ was EC. A few other names were mentioned too and I'm sure they feel just as bad

I think MN should come on now and clarify who EC was, if she is a reg, or just say if she was a new poster trolling

BoysAreLikeDogs · 02/10/2008 00:00

I was at the front of the badger queue.

piratecat · 02/10/2008 00:01

god i must be dim then. i never saw any of the posts andhow they may have differed, between supposed 15 yr old style and 'the mum' style.

i am starting to wonder why indeed i care either.!!!!

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh--bed!!

RTKangaMummy · 02/10/2008 00:02

QuintessentialShadows · 02/10/2008 00:05

thats right dittany.

WantSleep · 02/10/2008 00:05

Because badgering to get someone else named as a troll is ok?

ComeOVeneer · 02/10/2008 00:07

Flame and Psycho I never would have stated this today had I known what grief it would cause. Sorry.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 02/10/2008 00:09

Ah well we live and learn CoV, all of us have learned tonight.

expatinscotland · 02/10/2008 00:10

don't stress, COV.

or psycho or flame for that matter.

enough of us were there to see how it can be taken out of context.

ComeOVeneer · 02/10/2008 00:12

Not stressing, just sorry that me outing EC has caused grieffor Flame, Psycho, and CVQ too I guess.

zippitippitoes · 02/10/2008 00:13

cov much better to get her/him outed as a troll than for thingsd to have continued

this is why trolls cause damage

the collateral is inevitabloe

zippitippitoes · 02/10/2008 00:14

and i started that thread

psychomum5 · 02/10/2008 00:15

oh heck, no one should get blamed for any of this apart from the idiot that was pretending to be EC.

we cannot help it if we hold suspicions about people, here or in real life..

unfortunately things have been said and blown completely out of proportion (sp?).

there is no way of saying who said/what said/he said/she said......the thread has been pulled.

people are getting het up, others are getting hurt, still others have been hurt and are still trying to heal from that.

carriemumsnet · 02/10/2008 10:28

Hi all

First off, apologies that we weren't able to make a statement on this last night, but we needed to do a bit of digging and investigating (not to mention that it was all kicking off way past some MNHQers' bedtimes .)

So, just to clarify, EC was not connected to CvQ, or indeed to any other Mumsnetter. EC was misleading people on the boards and because of that has now been banned.

Hope this clears things up for everyone.
