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

All their kids begin with J. So I'd guess that's a no.

Hello DG

I have read your post. It's Ok, nobody thinks you need be quiet yet. This is why we have this thread I believe. There are loose ends to tie up.

I think it was OBM who asked people to CAT her for the list, it was on the initial thread, I can't remember - I felt a list would only intensify my sadness and also I haven't been here as long as you, Dear DG, so my feelings can't have been as hurt. I don't want to think about them now...I just will use MN as I must, or not, for my own purposes...and i have made my feelings clear to the ones who have gone over.

I hope you find some peace this Christmas. I shall be keeping you in mind myself,

love
S.

Sorry x[-posts.

Merry Christmas DDG

DumbledoresGirl · 23/12/2008 15:04

Thanks for your thoughts. I have mixed feelings about the group. I can understand people wanting a quieter, safer, more personal place to post because I would like that too, but I don't like the way this group has come about and the hurt it has caused. I am just so sad to see so many friends have joined it and I knew nothing about it. It feels like a kick in the face.

But it is not real life is it? Right now I am angriest that I have ignored my children for 3 days (even posted here on my son's birthday FGS!) and that I have not finished making my dh's Christmas present, and that I have not made half the food I promised my elderly mother I would make. It is all my fault that this has happened. I will be back, but not this side of Christmas!

Season's greetings to you all.

DG....hey, don't envy anyone...remember, nothing is ever as good as our mind would have us believe...(apart from chocolate)

i always think christmas eve is so much more exciting than christmas day...all the excitement, wonder, what's inside all that shiny paper....you know what i'm saying here......once you know whats inside, the boredom sets in pretty quick...n'est-ce pas?

enjoy christams DG....forget about it all....we're all random strangers just passing time...

morningpaper · 23/12/2008 15:13

DumbledoresGirl, you have been very brave in posting your feelings and very honest, and been very dignified.

I hope you have a nice christmas, and although the timing of this is a bit shitty, at least it means we'll have got this 'over with' by the new year and can sort of make a fresh start

happy christmas DG

get to work now

TheFallenMadonna · 23/12/2008 15:13

Ah. Read it now. So not in the fold exactly...

she said that?

Flihgtattendant · 23/12/2008 15:18

Stop it CLAP, please stop it...take your argument back to the other thread. We're not really too interested if a couple of people got silly.

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 15:19

I sure did, DP!

But why not read it from the horses' mouth rather than take things out of context so you can make your own mind up:

Flihgtattendant · 23/12/2008 15:20

Expat I saw the thread, not interested in people coming and telling tales, it's between you two, let's save this for reasoned discussion and genuine feelings now. Some of us need a place for that.

Wishing you well btw.

VinegarTitsTheSeasonToBeJolly · 23/12/2008 15:22

Expat, i have asked MN to delete my post as i was rude to you and i apologise

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 15:22

exactly, FA, which is why i linked back to teh original thread, which again will likely be deleted as HQ has asked everyone to keep things on this one now.

I dont think they will delete that thread, it was there before this one, they are only deleting any news one that get created

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 15:26

Flihgtattendant · 23/12/2008 15:26

Yes I can see that.

Glad we are all calming down a bit now. Nice work.

daftpunk · 23/12/2008 15:29

i will read it expat....but i hope you never thought that about me.....cos i'm losing it a bit here..

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 15:30

no, DP, i was winding up just like i've done for some time on here now.

not the first time it's gotten me in trouble.

i used to get suspended from school a lot .

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 15:31

but most of the time it was for smoking or skiveing, the latter of which i never understood: give a pupil time off from school for skiving. cool!

bananaknickers · 23/12/2008 15:37

What is going on here ? I haven't been around for a few days.

Mumsnet have set up an exclusive 'extra bit' for people to feel safe?

Just seen this thread and no others as I presume that this is the only one.

bananaknickers · 23/12/2008 15:38

Glad you haven't gone expat, you make me laff.

TinyTimLivesinVictorianSqualor · 23/12/2008 15:40

No, MN haven't set anything up.

The unbiased version is that Once upon a time there was a problem on MN so an alternate forum was set up incase it went down.
A long time later there were a lot of trolls and people in RL were finding people on MN so a set of friends who had this other forum started resuing and invited some new people too.
This came out and a few people who are, what they considered, friends with the people on this forum where upset.
There have been a few trolls namechanging and stirring things up.
A few MNers have de-registered.
There have been about 6 threads on it.
