FWIW I've said several times I can see why it happened; don't know if i'd have thought ooh yes if I'd received an invite without stopping to think abut the non-invitees, suspect I would have joined although i'd have been sad when it kicked off.

A few moldies have said 'sorry you're hurt we didn't think'- fair enough.

It's the ones who kept posting 'get over it'IMO that caused it to get this out of hand. Plus people like to pick over stuff- and of course this thread does digress amusingly rather often.

You don't have to agree with someones feelings to accept them as genuine after all.

However quite why anyone would want to join now I am not sure: diffrent scenario.

notnow...you are definitely at it with the jcb, aren't ya....

LIZS · 06/01/2009 11:52

abraid I don't think it is a yahoo based site.

notnowplease · 06/01/2009 11:54

should have read up before i posted

FairLadyRantALot · 06/01/2009 11:55

Peachy....funnily enough this thread has been going off on all sorts of tangents, and then someone comes along and says somehting like "get over it" and why is this still going on....lol...and poof...

quite amusing really!

notamoldieoraloon · 06/01/2009 11:56

Oh my god, did you just compare being on another internet forum to banking with a company that finances third world wars?

have you lost ALL sense of proportion?

FairLadyRantALot · 06/01/2009 11:56

I doubt it is a yahoo site, too...because they don't have avators, have they....they do have poll options, though...but don't think there is a setting in which you could set up hun/royalty points options...

morningpaper · 06/01/2009 11:56

notamoldieoraloon, why change your name then?

Thomcat · 06/01/2009 11:56

Custardo - It's not Africa no, thanks for that, but it is a huge site and as I'm not on here every minute of the day I don';t hear or see some people I had a connection with when i first joined MN. However on Moldies I could 'see' and chat to them very easily. Didn't have to search them out etc. Don't think I really need to explain any more do I???

Fine - we disagrre. WEon't be the first time, or the last I'm sure. Couldn't really care what you think of me for being invited onto a site to chat to people I have met where it was easier to talk than it is on MN as it's gotten so big ojn here. I'm not defending anything. I used modies fro about 2 weeks if that, probaly have a total of 20 posts over there! If anything certain posts about this whole moldies thing on Mumsnet have made we want to post over there again!

"sorry i didn't know my bank funded 5 year olds to shoot eat other - but now i do - i'll stay becuase it suits me, rather than people i have little interest in." Yeeeesssss okay, cos that's the same thing!!!!

notnowplease · 06/01/2009 11:58

the africa analogy is an insult and no mistake

FairLadyRantALot · 06/01/2009 11:59

notnow and notamoldie...are you the same...because, I am sure notnow said she was a moldie...dispite the fact that she claims not to be a namechanger, but being a complete newbie than....

Thomcat · 06/01/2009 11:59

Custardo how can say things like 'oh it's hardly Africa' when I say MN is such a large place and I don't see certain names as much these days and then in the same post compare Moldies to banking with a company that finances third world wars?

VinegarTits · 06/01/2009 11:59

I want to post over there too! whats the link?

abraid · 06/01/2009 11:59

Oh--sorry: I must have misread something about Yahoo groups or I'm having dreams of parakeets telling me this was the case, or something.

Tortington · 06/01/2009 12:00

no namechanger i didn't compare it to that

i compared it to the principle of "oh i didn't know" thats ok then.

it wouldn't fly in any other walk of life.

There was also a Yahoo group run by StG, now dormant.

ABudafulSightWereHappyTonight · 06/01/2009 12:01

notnow - Custy (I think) found out that she had been nominated and voted against. So what you may think? She sppears to have been voted against by people she had met, who had been to her home, met her family, ate her food etc. That is why she is so hurt.

Tortington · 06/01/2009 12:01

ooh TC got a bone ....run with it girl....run

OP posts:
FairLadyRantALot · 06/01/2009 12:01

Thomcat, isn't the reason why you don't see certain names as much anymore not due to the fact that mn is so big, but because they left to go to moldies?

Thomcat · 06/01/2009 12:02

Vinegar Tits - sorry didn't mean to ignore you. I don't actually remember what my password is so would have to ask for a reminder to get back on there so can't post a link sorry. I can assure you when I was on there it was just a lot of chatty posts, people shooting the breeze with one another like on here.

notamoldieoraloon · 06/01/2009 12:02

It is a bit cowardly of me, morningpaper, but I'd like to be able to carry on posting on Mumsnet without someone screaming "MOLDIE" or "MOLDIE SYMPATHISER" at me every time I do. I have seen nice posters sniped at on other threads just because they have made the mistake of not agreeing with the All moldies are evil line.

VinegarTits · 06/01/2009 12:03

Oh come on - you cant find your friends on MN, if they are such important friends why not email them? do you only come here just to chat with friends? why not use msn then

Personally i come here to converse with everyone, i'm not selective

Thomcat · 06/01/2009 12:03

I can't think why you weren't invited to Moldies

wartybosoms · 06/01/2009 12:05

Keep going, soon the Guinness Book of Records will be interested in the longest, dullest, pettiest, most repetitive, most inane discussion ever had on the world wide web.

Sad, the lot of you.

Tortington · 06/01/2009 12:05

is someone keeping a list? because i can't honestly see that someone has been sniped at on another thread by virtue of them being in one camp or another, i mean the people we all remember the names of, you will continue to arse lick
