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

lone - m entioned the more "heavily su;p;ported" mners. why did you mnention them?

am loggn off so wnot read for a wile

who me?

i have no idea what your talking about

are you called lone?
i'm directing q at lone

so no need for you to answer me c

i clearly misunderstood vvq. sorry.

TFM - names are put forward and decided on without the nominee being aware. Or at least, that's how it was done until fairly recently.

OK. Found something. Not clear on who gets to send out the initial invites though. Process sounds like one of those gentlemen's clubs we've been laughing at all these years. Blackballing and all that. How very - retro

vvv. i have not 'called anyone into question' simply stated fact. there are many posters who have been supported by myself and many many others. over the 5 years i have been a member i have done what i could, when, how and if - without reservation or question. For some posters to now not post on a select THREAD but a select FORUM leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

One of the things about mn is that people would post and ANYone could choose to respond, or not. a splinter group such as moldies is much more EXclusive than INclusive. it has the effect of being at least in part about who to leave out as who to leave in.

that is my point.

Is there anything anyone can say that will make this better?

Ah. x-post with wonk. That's not very nice then is it. Really.

if you were hurt but not being nominated that is sad.

I know I was nominated and then VETOED by someone.

that feels lovely.

and to top it all i don't think i know how it spell 'vetoed'

happy xmas, custardo,
expat- good luck wiht the little one and the bigger ones.
I'm glad that after all the crap you had before you now have a little baby in your arms again.

I'll miss you too- you've made me PMSL loads over the yrs.

bbbee how do you know that?

As someone on the sidelines but someone who read the infamous custardo blog last year with increasing disbelief. And now seeing who some of the people are on moldies I'm quite surprised custardo would even expect an invitation. I wouldn't if I'd been so rude about people. I tend to think it's best to treat others how you would like to be treated. Or it can come back to bite.

"btw; its crapola for any posters to minimise the hurt others are feeling. "
I agree
It's the usual "don't worry about this, it's not important enough." Well guess what, I have room for many worries some important, some less so. This is one of them. Threads on MN range from the absolutely critical to the banal. If there's a line to be crossed at which we are allowed to care then can MNHQ please specify that. Otherwise DO NOT tell me what I can and cannot care about. Nothing pisses me off more right at the moment.

Oh gawd hunker - I know it's picking at scabs. But I do like to know the facts before I judge

(F&Z - "Hoist by their own petard")

Blimey BBBee - that is harsh!

KerryMum didn't come back then?

Is she at it like a rabbit before TOW arrives to snatch the penis with a pulse away from her or did she really do a Mumsnet runner earlier because of deleted posts?

I was thinking collateral damage.

oh and for all the "there are more important things going on people", what if there's someone who IS having a shit time at the momment, and having all her virtual friends gang up and exclude her is the last straw?

boredofall it's not 'just' (and I never even read the blogs, usually, when am feeling stronger, avoid MN bunfights) custy is it? (not Custy that I wouldn't have invited you iykwim- I would- its just poster dismissed everyone else)

its massive numbers, seemingly, of oldies.

narrowing it down to one eprson targets custy and dismisses the others: unfair i think, in many ways.

I doubt that'll happen, Dittany. For starters "all the old Mumsnetters" - who, exactly? Any list would miss someone off - as has already happened.

Loads have said they don't want to join anyway - so it would be an exercise in fire-stoking, because they'd come in, have a poke around, realise it wasn't the bitching den it's being made out to be, but not have any fondness for those on there - so there'd be bound to be threads on here slating them.

bored - what a shit house. no balls to do your own name?

my blog - was there in the open and messages were posted - no one was denied entry everyone could read and post about them = it wasn't exclusive.

nice try at deflection there love.

fail.

Um Stealth i think that's me actually

which is why i've reacted, perhaps overly, so much and fallen so hard (ds3 got his final dx last week)

but thats the thing- you never know what someone is dealing with do you?

hey peachy- do yoou still want pink forks and stuff?
i realised i never sent you any
i'll be back later- and then will close this for good (hopefully)
