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

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

isn't the MN'er who was "reduced to tears" (and whose quote is lifted) Justine????

ilovelovemydog · 28/12/2008 21:51

How are there 1100 posts on here - impressive

Bauble99 · 28/12/2008 21:51

Ah well. Maybe you and hunker can share a Greasy Nipple?

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 28/12/2008 21:51

they've also got the order of events wrong, the "official statement" was the blog entry that started the whooharr

BBBee · 28/12/2008 21:52

thank you holiday wonk!!!!!

back in an hour or so....

JoolsToo · 28/12/2008 21:53

whoarr - rofl

I thought you were saying 'war' in a posh voice but now I realise you mean hoo-har

ToysAreLikeDogs · 28/12/2008 21:53

Is this what they mean by 'going global'?

holidaywonk · 28/12/2008 21:53

That's the first of five, BBBee.

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 28/12/2008 21:54

well you can see why I never had an invite for Moldies - I am officialy a reject - I'm not a Modlie, I'm not a Newbies..........

I'm a REJECT

TWINSETinapeartree · 28/12/2008 21:57

I have discovered now though that there are two classes of rejects FAQ.

Those that have had sympathy emails from moldies and those that are total bottom of the pile rejects.

Which are you?

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 28/12/2008 21:57

another blardy thread has been deleted......due to the cowardly offensiveness of lilly livered namechangers.

when will it stop???????

ILMD, this one has no limit, it has special dispensation to keep all the moldie stuff in one place. given the threads that have been deleted today it isn't working!!

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 28/12/2008 21:58

oooooo - I'm the best you could ever hope to be

I'm a BOTTOM OF THE PILE reject

(although a known Moldie did add me to her facebook threads after it all kicked off - although we've not actually "spoken" to each other on there)

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 28/12/2008 21:59

facebook "friends" - not threads

TWINSETinapeartree · 28/12/2008 21:59

lol faq me too

TWINSETinapeartree · 28/12/2008 22:01

actually have had one email which meant a lot as I really like the mumsnetter it came from.

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 28/12/2008 22:01

Oh Ells and Ohs.
Freaking heck that is without question the funniest thing that has happened all .. day.

If I were VinegarT*ts I would be begging Justine to allow asterisks in nick-names!!!

OR writing to the DM demanding to know why they have censored her "perfectly reasonable name, which reflects the reality of looking after toddlers of a certain fractious age.

I remain, Sir, your loyal servant,

VinegarTots"

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 28/12/2008 22:03

Also, don't you love the way that they make this insane swerve at the end, and remind us that social-networking sites can and have been the cause of FAMILY BREAKDOWN!

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 28/12/2008 22:03

oh that must mean I'm a lower down the pile reject than you I've not had any emails (apart from when I nearly left MN over a totally different issue) - and I think i may have requested this person has a "friend" on facebook a while ago and they co-incidently added me after it all kicked off

TWINSETinapeartree · 28/12/2008 22:05

maybe we are quits then as I have had a lovle email but no favebook invite

ghosty · 28/12/2008 22:05

hif you ask me ...

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 28/12/2008 22:07

Dare I say the DM article has a hell of a lot more journalistic integrity than the SIndie's efforts?.....and at least they attributed the quotes to the right posters!

ghosty · 28/12/2008 22:07

lol, missed a bit there ...
"NuttersNet, If you ask me"
Gone global - ha ha!

What cracks me up is that the NZ Herald usually has, at the most, 2 pages of world news. That this has made it on the NZ Herald has me ROFL ...

Can't you see how utterly ridiculous this is?

morningpaper · 28/12/2008 22:09

oh great the newsealand post has just COPIED the errors from the Indie, so justabout gets another airing

how LAZY are they?

TWINSETinapeartree · 28/12/2008 22:10

has their been a mail article as well?

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 28/12/2008 22:11

oh, lol; this is getting really daft now.
