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.

I am going to stop reading these threads now as I keep forgetting about this but everytime it resurrects another little bit of me starts to dislike moldies.

I think it is bloody outrageous that you chose to reject Custy, who on earth do you people think you are?

It is all very well saying that the moldies are nice people but you have acted in a very unpleasant way IMO.

Kerry - thanks, hope it's white. 1/2 a litre is not a good idea this early on Hogmanay!

You know what if you all keep posting on this thread by the time it ends everyone will be oldies or moldies or whatever. Happy New Year.

You have driven me to drink, going to the pub.

do you trust him not to fall asleep in the queue???

Funny, rev, I thought earlier it was very much like changing which local pub you go to most often but still visiting the one that used to be your regular - maybe dropping back for the pub quiz or to talk about improving the garden (should there be a children's play area right next to the smoking area; should we put in a rattan screen with some nice plants growing up it?).

I've got the message from some that I'm not welcome, and especially not welcome to talk about MN improvements, but I'm not a shrinking violet, I haven't been rude to anybody, I have apologised if I've upset anyone and I won't feel bad for posting on another site as well as this one and certainly not whilst MSN, email, Facebook groups and passworded blogs exist - or namechangers on here that change to attack, for that matter.

Hey, Dodge!

happy new year Hunker

To continue the pub & beer analogy, imagine someone from the pub invites a few friends around for coffee.

Just because they like a quiet cup of coffee together sometimes, it doesn't mean they've become teetotal.

Why is it so outrageous that people have not wanted someone to join? Surely if everyone were in then it would just be Mumsnet and therefore be no point.

Maybe (gasp) not everyone on mumsnet likes everyone else!

cos there is a,ot of history btw posters like Custy who have met other posters in real life.... sorry have been at the wine and am slurring abit

Happy New Year, Compo (and all!).

Rev, I was agreeing with you

But you can meet people and not like them can't you?

ho hum.
the other pub isnt a pub though. Its a feckin golf club. And we know what we think about those

Pub analogy is a good one.

It started with a small cosy pub, a group of regulars and two landladies.
So far so good. Pub grows and becomes more and more popular.
Landladies try and accommodate the influx but in the process a hardcore
of old regulars feel marginalised.
Eventually a group of disenchanted regulars set up their own private members pub
with only a select few (well, 150) invited from the original place.

Fair enough, things change, people change - everyone should be happy, right?

I hear ya, hunker.

I post on Moldies. I didn't veto people. I did nominate. But unfortunately at the time all that was on I was offline altogether because I'd just had a baby and my folks were here.

I don't post things on there I wouldn't or haven't posted on here. I've never been one to hide my feelings and that's pretty obvious.

If that makes me persona non grata to some, well, c'est la vie.

I'm still who I am there as much as here or any of the OTHER sites or blogs, some of them invite or subscription-only and some of which have areas not every member can post on. Last I checked, that's all allowed in the cyber world.

Meh.

It's new years. There will be a lot of moving on for us as for a lot of people, not just online, but in a lot of ways.

Oh i wouldn't like to join a club. You might have to wear a tie.
