If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies [part 2]

[YetMoreTech]

This thread is a continuation of this one. That one had become too big for its own boots the system to handle.

oh c;mon wellie, we;re not back to the msn - e-mail argument again.

bloody secrecy polls, lists, general underhandedness and elitism - by 143 people who either are involved in said activities or encourage its existance and continued activities by membership.

Custy, when I start a splinter group, you will be top of my list!
But what will we call ourselves

OK. Spent Faaar to long 'catching up' on all this and seems to be a case of two steps forwards, six steps back. I can see things are evolving in their own way but i have not kidded myself about any solution to this. MN is used by many people for many reasons and many people are upset about allthis for many reasons. It is misleading to summise that is all a campaign about supporting individual posters. I am horried about the personal issues and obviously feel for anyone who has been personally targetted or caught in the crossfire - on either side.

I have stated elsewhere and curiously feel the need to re-state my points before I fill my face with cake (with rum in it) and roll over to sleep. I have deliberately waited for a lull in the 'proceedings' before posting this:

I have been a MN for around 5 years and I namechange every-so-often because I know a few people in RL that are MNs and want to keep as anon as poss. I dont consider myself to be a less worthy, valid or deserving poster than anyone else here I abhor the implication that posters have to be 'known' to be invited onto Mouldies. I lurk much much more than I post, though have given and benefitted loads from MN.

I feel 'uncomfortable' that some MNs that have been well supported by the indistinguished posters such as myself - such is the spirit and strength of MN. No, i dont consider that ANYONE should feel beholden, BUT its easy to feel as though us lesser and unknown posters have a certain, 'usefulness' to suit. as said before, I am certain that no-one took votes as to whether or not to accept any assistance from the 'unknowns'. Any assistence has been given happily and freely and unconditionally, as it rightly should.

That capped off by mouldies saying, get over it, this is childish and such-like is unkind and nasty. That, matched by others saying 'im not sorry, i have not done anything wrong' is insensitive, at best.

This feels like i am reading my eulogy on this Mouldy Episode. I have resigned myself not to comment further, but to nod, shake my head or simply not click on this thread after today.

I am saddened further that some mouldies feel the need to deregister because of whats been said on this thread. What i dont get is those that have said, i post on other threads besides this, but because of THIS thread i shall de-register. Doesnt make sense to me. Why not just stop posting on this thread, but to say that MN in general will be worse off without the benefit of their experience and 'wisdom' by their poster leaving is a bit sanctamonious and takes the mouldy thing full circle, not? And that is in the spirit of.....what exactly?

I have probably missed something crucial that i wanted to add, but im trying to discipline myself and lurk elsewhere as I am getting quite claustrophobic by this mouldieness.

kets not forget the apologies for the friends that deserved it.

or the conversations about mumsnet that canbe seen by all - until later self edit - what shite is that fgs.

The Peoples Front of Mumsnet?

Or the Mumsnet Peoples Front?

You appear to have a problem with my (late) acknowledging your and rhubarb's responses to my posts, and acceptance of apologies in the manner in which they were proffered...ie:

"I hope my apologies will be graciously accepted by all. "

I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's because you are always looking to pick holes in my posts maybe? I dunno. And you said you apologised if I felt hurt. I did. I accepted your apology. What gives now? Does my vernacular and manners grieve you somehow? I felt it rude not to acknowledge that I'd seen your posts. Perhaps that's not how you do things and I've personally inadvertently offended you. Again. I will most definitely be changing my name back. Clearly you cannot take my posts at face value in the manner at which I have endeavoured to take yours.

central holy institute proffering mummy only nubile knockers yakkity yak

i take then at face value vvq

them*

I knew there was a reason for me to have a shorter MN name.

I'm still waiting to be a daughter of mediocrity.

Ooooh, are they like the Daughters of Charity? I have 2 aunts who are Daughters of Charity and they're all right. Though, truth to be told, one of them really shouldn't have been a nun. Too much of a rebel! I like her.

"always looking to pick holes in my posts maybe?"

nope i haven;t until now disected your ambiguity - in fact i have ignored a tremendous amount

"Perhaps that's not how you do things "

what does that mean? before i interpret this as a slight ?

I thought i did the right thing in ignoring the little things - close to the knuckle stuff - then the outragous comment on the other thread and the times when its you not i, that has attached my name to posts ( you were often directing at rhubarb), the response to the apology i get is ambiguously worded its there for all to see - to interpret for good or ...whatever ( being ambiguous)- truly, I tried to do the right thing vvq. word it, dress it up any way you want. There have been insinuations, my name has been mentioned by you out of nowhere at least twice - but becuase i didn't want a very old advisary to use this as a battleground i have tried my utmost to be pleasant. i never even mentioned the apology i didn't get.

now they are mentioned and words will ensue, your mates will come on, my mates will come on and it will all turn to shit - which was why i was trying to be nice about the whole thing

cheers custy ( and rhubarb)

that would have sufficed.

didn;t Ndom come on cornsilk? said that they had never turned anyone down, maybe you have to re-apply or something?

Custy how do apply? Do I have to shave a goat or something?

(is it on facebook)

yes its on facebook, search mumsnet, and it comes up

OK will do
(Tfft no goats round here)

I can supply goats.
