FWIW I read 'betrayal' as a more general thing than posting on an alternative forum.

Wll done DJ for trying to raise this discussion up a little...

Daddyj what an odd idea. Why on earth would MNHQ and the moldies want to work together? It's just a spin-off site. They've gone. Nothing to do with MNHQ now and why should it be?

And the comparison with something serious like Gaza/Israel is pretty distasteful.

ABudafulSightWereHappyTonight · 05/01/2009 13:21

Wow DaddyJ - you really are trying to stir things up aren't you?

"as well as digging deep during the long, barbarically dull food and drink sequences."

Sorry, that undermines your whole premise here: "I think gender in this context is a red herring."

Tortington · 05/01/2009 13:37

"Because having this separate forum for veteran Mumsnetters is actually not a bad idea at all.
If it's done right."

yes is fucking does. let there not be the seven circles of hell
the inner sanctum, or any other better, bigger, more famous up their own arse egotist elitist tosspots -

work together? to create a two tier mumsnet, those of a certain eloguence, or if your a close friend of someone who is a moldy, can get into this inner sanctum

its not like graduating university.

they aren't the best

they are a bunch of people who went offto set up a secret elitist forum - deliberatly

the same people came met my family slept at my house, accepted my dh as a chauffer, smoked my fags and ate my food. the same people told me highly sensitive personal information about their family members

so what- the - fuck - am - i - not - getting - here?

does a certain style, class, of person do this ...regularly... is it becuase i am a northern monkey that i thought any of these things constituted more than a user name on a website

eh?

work together? you have to be out of your mind.

work together to have a public school and a private school or mumsnet

are you shitting me

its disgusting the whole thing is utterly revolting.

I think it's quite clear that GeraldineMumsnet was posting in response to FA's seeking out of Twiglett's posts tbh
I agree with Frog, it was quite a shocking thing to do!

duchesse · 05/01/2009 13:47

It just smacks of the sort of behaviour you'd expect from primary school children to me. Deeply immature and uninteresting.

Tortington · 05/01/2009 13:47

as was seeting up a secret elitist forum.

and she conceded that our opinions can change - it required but, a little firther reading.

Custardo- your case seems more personal though
Have you contacted the people that stayed at your house, smoked your fags etc and asked them what on earth they thought they were up to?

LucyJones · 05/01/2009 13:50

Fio -iirc a lot of the Moldies were against that

georgimama · 05/01/2009 13:50

There's a weirdo bloke who posts a lot on the daily telegraph site called IIRC Ignatious Jack or something like that, he has a very similar posting style to DaddyJ. Strange line breaks just the same and a weirdly detached style of writing.

DaddyJ, are you Ignatious Jack?

Tiggiwinkle · 05/01/2009 13:51

Custardo-you are right and I agree with you completely.

Lucyjones-have you not read FA's posts explaining why she did the search? What do you not understand?

Anyway, I think it was completely in order to use a quote to display the irony of this whole sorry debacle.

It occurs to my reading this thread...apart from the few self-proclaimed moldies, we do not have a clue who they are. Perhaps the people coming onto these threads criticizing posts by mumsnetters gives us some kind of clue?

Tortington · 05/01/2009 13:51

no fuck 'em

i have the measure of them now.

Yes, I raised the point about the SN board on an earlier thread and I remember a lot of people writing long posts about how hurt they are...

electra · 05/01/2009 13:52

sorry, were about that

Tiggiwinkle · 05/01/2009 13:54

fio- as 2shoes has repeatedly stated on these threads, the SN group was set up in an entirely different manner and has never refused anyone entry. She has asked that it is not drawn into this debate on previous threads.

i disagree, i think the private board did cause a rumble.

what is being suggested here ? that by comparing moldies to the SN board - one can illustrate how a private board is needed?

bollocks bollocks bollocks

the motives the needs behind the setting up of the sn board

the factthat we can al pop in and have a look round when we want - there is no exclusivity, no group od 'head' girls passing acceptance ribbons to her best friends.

OP posts:
Tiggiwinkle · 05/01/2009 13:56

Well 2shoes runs it and that is what she said on a previous thread.
