If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

[LittleDonkeyCarrieMaryMumsnet]

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

no it wasn't cruel - i am very good friends with the person and it was a kind of 'oh isn;t this silly'thing because it was - it is - it really is.

now i am really sad because it is going to jeopdise a real friendship i have that grew from mumsnet and is the best thing i have from mumsnet.

it didn;t matter.

but now sadly it seems like it might.

'mummiesnet' SEA? Why do you still post on here if you feel such contempt for it?

gawd see 20.28 insanity lol

the thread was pulled because mn said threads on the subject would be pulled.

anyway you were very nasty

inSanity, mummiesnet is the name of another poster

anyway who are you liffey? who are all these name changers

SEA multiple apologies and more.

sorry, folks.

RL interfering here.

BIL lost his job in the HBOS/Lloyds TSB merger.

Thankfully, he got a temp contract with another company.

The ILs have sold their home and are thankfully looking to buy through there, where we can look after them better. BIL lives with them, he'll be working in Glasgow. They can't afford the bungalow with driveway they need in their native city. That's how life is sometimes.

Now just to get all the other stuff sorted, just trivial things like the IL's healthcare and FIL's half-dead SIL shifted and all her care.

It will mean less time in the new year on the net to even register people name-calling, but that's no bad thing.

So here's a little christmas carol for people who truly have nothing better to do than stalk re-label an utter no-count loser like me.

Merry Xmas!

Get.a.life.

'Maybe she'll crank it down a notch or two, and if she does that'd be great for everybody, not just mumsnet but for her too. I don't think mumsnet is a place to say 'bring it on' when you've nothing in particular you want to argue about. Just 'bring it on' full stop.. Horrible. '

Keep dreaming, Liffey.

But hey ho. Some people, if you give them enough rope . . .

This is so sad

I will put my bit in too - I never really contribute to this sort of thing, but this has been apart of my life for so many years.I have not always posted under this name and have posted some very personal stuff. I have had huge support and made a couple of lovely friends and I am gratful.I changed my posting name around three years ago.

I have read some of the names on the Moldie thing and I am not familiar with lots of them. I am unsure whether it is a how long you have been here or who you know. Obviously, I was not invited to join, but I don't post as much as lots of you and I am not a regular poster.

However, I can completly understand why some posters want to post without fear of being outed by people in real-life.I don't post as much as I did because of this reason.I know it is selfish.

Unfortunatly, I think this site has changed a great deal in the last couple of years. It has had a huge amount of interest from the media of late. Before it almost felt like it was 'my little secret' and now it's in the paper and even on the T.V all the time. I don't post about personal stuff anymore.I tend not to post that much because of all the fights on here.

This was a freindly site to be a part of and we all trusted each other. How can we get that back?. There are still some wonderful posters I still recognise and I am glad you are all still posting.

I think that HQ need to of stepped in a long time ago and put these things right and not make it so easy for these things to happen. This is a site unlike any I have ever known , where people speak from the heart and are vunerable.We all forget it's the internet, don't we?

god I waffle! I am on noones side. I am just sad it's happened .

Hope next year proves better than recent times then expat - sound slike your family have had some tough times recently. Hope it sorts itself out and the move proves successful.

Yes a sillly day dream! why would you be nicer? What would be the point of that!?

MN said they were going to pull new threads, not existing ones.

I think they're getting a bit too happy with the delete button myself - but that's their prerogative I guess.

liffey is a long-term poster who changes name regularly for good RL reasons.

Thanks PW.

Hula, I just hope you and yours are having a GREAT Xmas! You were on some of my original threads, I'll never forget how sweet you always are, and what great work you are doing. I hope it is satisfying .

I'll not leave MN because of people like you.

DNA I felt like that. Then I realised that MN, the dregs that are left are not the people I have issue with - they are as fantastic as ever.
The problem has sorted itself out in effect, and I plan to stay, knowing that the people who consider me and people like me beneath them won't be bothering to talk to me anyway.

bananaknickers - it will return to that, It generally does on MN. Every so often these things happen. Things change and resettle and move on. As I said before I do sometimes hanker after the old days here, but I think the main change is me rather than MN TBH. The last 15 months or so have been pretty tough health/emotionalwise and I think that has contributed rather han mN changing too much.

The thin I do find hard to get round though is thaat I am now convinced that people I know in RL are probably members of this new forum, people who I thought I was friendly with, people who have spoken to about sensitive personal stuff, people I thought I could trust enough to do that....but now I find myself ina strange position as to whether or not I can really rely on such people. And I don;t even knwo if they are a member of the new forum, it is just my 'suspicions. I think I'd rather just know, so that now that my head is coming out of the big fog it has been in over the past year or more, I can decide if there are people I shouldn;t worry about rebuilding friendships and ties with.

I guess it depends on how you communicate with someone liffey
Expat has showed me much kindness and I hold her in very high regard, as I do some mners.
But I would expect she is reacting rather than instigating.

holidaywonk, although I winged about the deletions I bet MNHQ can't do right for doing wrong at the moment!

oh right, could be anyone then.

nice to insult someone (just because you don't like them) in a namechange though.

but it's OK to do it off board in a place only accessible to the elite?

Ah thanks expat. Not sure it is always warranted but nice all the same. And I am sad you feel the need to go; I really am. I miss the old fun days sometimes. It is all just such a mess I hope one day it is sorted and fun.

I have left the prison though, so not as worthy now. Going back to schools, but as a primary school TA part time for a bit. The stress of the past year mixed with the stresses of prison life got too much. I have gone for an easier option for a bit.

Merry Cristmas - have a good one!

I've been off for ages. I haven't a clue who or what a Moldie even is ...

Unedifying, most of it.

Whatever it is?
