is there a moldies part three?

[Tortington]

just wondering, as i can't find it.

I think it is appropriate to bring it up tiggiwinkle, because the point is that I have seen people who were 'hurt' by the SN board now arguing that they cannot understand why people are hurt by the moldie board - a board that people are actively excluded from.

Although I have not read all the posts on this topic, has it not been estalished that there is a voting system in place on this other forum? So it is possible that a person's friends could have actually wanted to invite them, but others have not voted for them? That is not the fault of the friend.

Well if you cannot see the difference Fio I really do give up.

becuae they stick your name on a list and vote on it - without your knowledge

they make mn posts then when they have had a chuckle self edit

becuase it was secret

becuase of its membership
jesus fio

fair enough Custardo, I can completely understand that

Tiggiwinkle - if you're implying i'm a Moldie you're wrong
I do however like Twiglett as a poster and if you think FA's post of Sun 04-Jan-09 19:40:44 explains why she deliberately searched Twig's posts I'm sorry but her explanation doesn't ring tue to me
It's almost as if because you know one dfeinite member that makes her fair game for personal attacks which, as we all know, if against Mumsnet's policy

i remember being vehemently against a private area for people with kids who have sn to go

as some of them will probably remember

then it is your duty lucyjones to report it so that mumsnet can remove it.

if they fing it that bad - as they own the site, then let them do it

Quoting someone's posts is hardly a personal attack is it lucyjones?

hm, I think, fwiw, that a private sn board is a whole different thing than to set up an elitist forum....and, that is how moldie does come across as...(I mean, moldies seem to think they are the elite, not necessarily that I believe them to be elite, I have you know )....
I am sure that the sn forum possible has only one "entry-requirement" (for lack of better word....and that would be that the person has a child with sn?
However, moldies are different as such, aren't they? People chose who they feel ar good enough to join....that is what the problem is....not for me personally....as I couldn't really care on a personal level...but it does kinda come across as a bit snobby....

Thanks to those of you who have defended me, i am grateful, I have been worried by the posters who are shocked by my quotes

LucyJones, I'm sorry that you don't believe my explanation

I am not a liar by nature

If you perceive what I did as vindictive or an attack, can you explain why - I haven't stated anywhere that what Twiglett said was wrong or offensive, just that i was surprised to find it and saddened by the fact she had apparently changed her mind since writing it

She's not a politician, she's allowed to turn or change her mind

If you read it as an attack, please explain why - I am not seeing it. Unless you think what she said was something worth using against her ?

My use of it was a comment, not an attack.

Please don't suggest I'm being disingenuous because I often do apologise on here, am very conscious that sometimes I overstep the mark - but I hope not to have done so this time.

psst...Flightattendent really IS a pedant, btw....she reads dictionary for fun

I had better add that my perception was of Twiglett being very much involved in the engendering of the other board.

I am sorry if I have offended by quoting an individual but I believed she was central to its activity, and defensive of its motives

I am not sure if that makes her fair game for quoting or not, but I can see sort of what you mean.

FA, tbh...if you had quoted anyone else, it probably wouldn't have been critized as much....

And I agree with Custy that HQ have every right to remove the post if they feel it is an attack

however they have not done so

perhaps by doing so they might be concerned about implying that Twig had done something wrong (and was thus being attacked for such, rather than simply quoted)

when in fact it is arguable whether she has.

Thanks Fair - but why?

...and how can it be a character assassination if there is nothing to assassinate?

FA, I think sometimes it's more a matter of who you doing what "to" rather than what you do....iykwim....

Fio, the "entry requirements" of moldies seem to imply an elitism....they really do....we have heard from people, who are well known and well established mn being vetoed for moldies....etc....

I can understand why people want to talk in private, etc...but tbh, why be so secretive about the set up, etc...? I think it was the secrecy that got some peoples hackles up...

oh I don't know
i don't want a ruck either
I just liked Twiglett and feel sad that she has dereged so isnt here to defend herself so quoting her seems pointless

hmmm...(goes and reads dictionary as only source of comfort)

Well I've reported my own post and this is what I have said in the little box:

'Hi,

have been in for some flack about this and tbh would rather not upset anyone; Geraldine if this is what your comment was about last night I apologise.

Please do feel free to delete it if you feel it is an attack, it isn't meant to be as I don't feel an attack is warranted. But I might find it hard to take if someone searched my old posts to demonstrate that I had said something that appeared counter to my present arguments.

Can I let you be judge of this please - I'm not impartial enough and could be deluding myself..
thankyou and sorry for the trouble.'

I hope this helps. MNHQ might have a better head on than me.

but she de-reged by choice, I assume....and the post quoted, well...it kinda did show just how she had changed her mind on that point....

LJ, thanks for the

I do see what you mean

however she could rereg and say something if she wanted, nobody's stopping her iyswim.

Anyway shall we forget it now.
