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

custy - because when i first found out about mouldies (gingham ribbon - remember) and I had not been on mumsnet much so i asked someone who i know well about it and she told me (apologetically) that she was on it and had put me forward but they had said no.

I think the whole thing about "supportive" mumsnetters was on one of the other threads, explaining how the moldies were posters who had given a lot of support to people, a lot of advice and laughs.

That was one of the posts that pissed me off!

BBBee harsh!
you are not worthy, you are not worthy.

So sorry to hear that Peachy, although I don't know the details. I assume you won't want to tell all on this thread, but I will go and have a look.
Sorry if my last post seemed personal to you - it wasn't meant to be.
Just infuriates me when people tell me how (not) to feel.

Bbbee that would hurt- had that once, except was in RL and I was booted out of a social group my Dh ws vice chair of (I know he voted for me LOL)

lesson to be learned: ten years or so on I relaise the reason I was refused is becuase unlike every other woman there I have a brain and can speak for myself.

near miss, imo

Whatever it is that stopped us being 'in' could well be that thing we cherish most about ourselves- our sincerity, kindess, whatever....

Stealth i never thought that- at all- indeed I was agreeing with what you said!

no masive details; after 2.5 years being pre-DX ds3 finally got one, developmental delays and autism, won't be fully independent.

That's it really.

i missed the point shithouse, that i was not invited to a party including hunker vvq cd and others is hardly a revelation my dear.

the revelation is clearly the truly balanced posters of old.

one particular idol of mine

the revelation is the fact that some discussion about me in my absence has taken place ( by the wizard of oz - the real name no one knows , i know nothing, i know nothing )

the revelation that this is an elitist club, set up as such - and meant to be kept a secret - tid bits flowing out from ex members - confirming that there were posts about- near misses - at nearly getting found out.

and better that i met lots of them and laughed talked, shared things, personal things in a couple of cases at the xmas do not a few weeks ago.

but the 'me know nothing, me know nothing' is rubish.

ignorance of how the system you are in works, is no defence.

they are intelligent enough to question things.

I'm so sorry. Hope that a diagnosis means you get some help for your DS and for you.

Peachy - did that happen to someone else as well on here - back in 2003 possible.

Am sure I remember the fall-out - the difficult position the DH was in, and there being practically no explanation.

Wonder who that was - it def was a social club or a darts team or summat. Wracking brains.

Anyway - what a shit thing to happen, but the right response of course is to think tough shit, their loss.

i haven't seen anyone refer to it as a nitching den - but i haven't read all posts. its certainly not a prominant argument. what you talk about is a side issue IMO.

sorry, mo' fo's, posted on the other thread.

not gotta shit and run to bathe the girls and get them into their bed.

I think (as Is aid before) that many people would have just got hthe link and thought Oh-Ok

that I can understand; it's easy not to think things through

but defending it, and more to the point tbh dismissing other peoples genuine feelings as silly is OTT

Just because someone doesn't agree with you does not make them wrong. Different to you, more sensitive, perhaps. Not wrong.

This started with something that coud have been sorted ina bust-up but the dismissal of concerns may well be what sent it over

Now a nitching den is a lovely place I expect -in my family "to nitch" is to nuzzle into small baby;s soft fluffy neck and head and INHAAALE.

I am posting on one of these thread for the last time to say that I have found this whole situation quite sad. But I think that something good will come of all this. I have 'talked to' many different people who I have never spoken to before who I hope to see more of in the future (if DH ever lets me back onto the computer). But I now need closure on this.

Some people I have seen in a new light, and that saddens me. I hope the moldies are happy on their new forum, and the the ones who want to come back do, and see that mumsnet has improved for the better. I'm sorry so many people have been hurt. Obviously there are more important things going on in life, but you could say that about any problem, so I hope people who don't understand will accept that even though it doesn't bother them, other people have a real sense of betrayal and not belittle it.

I've also really neglected my lovely postnatal girls over the past few days, sorry girls if you are reading, I'll be back soon.

I'm going back to real life for a while. Take care everyone, and have a wonderful Christmas. let hope the new year will be a new start for all of us.

Sorry, that's not very eloquent and a bit disjointed, but you know what I mean right?

Priobably did happent o someone else- ours was memorable as to what it was (rather unique hobby of ours!)

stealth we'll be ok, just 2nd time now we've had a child dx'd: shock now but we'll get there

so the oldie moldie threads are being deleted now?

I wonder why. They said they would be leaving them and deleting any new ones, which is fair enough.
