just wondering, as i can't find it.

I can see why you think I am stirring wannabe but I didn't see it like that when I felt compelled to post. I wish I could post in my real name - I don't care for myself - but I am protecting someone else.

I am beginning to wish I had not posted now as I realise I only did it to satisfy my own sense of hurt.

Nevertheless, to all those who say please can we stop talking about this now, would you like it if someone did that to a thread you felt strongly about? The whole point of keeping it all on one thread was so that you could hide the thread if you did not want to read the endless drivel the rest of us cannot help coming up with. It is like a red rag to a bull asking people not to post anymore.

georgimama · 03/01/2009 17:45

No I wouldn't like it. It has been done to me too.

I'm just suggesting this is actually helpful to those who say they feel hurt, and that they should post about something more positive instead.

georgimama · 03/01/2009 17:45

isn't helpful I should say.

FairLadyRantALot · 03/01/2009 17:45

so, is cod the founder of mouldygate than?

Threadworm · 03/01/2009 17:48

I appreciate that it is annoying to be asked to stop discussing this. But I don't think it is true that such a request is dictating what people should post. It is a request.

The reasion I have made the request is that ... well, two things. One is that the discussion does touch on subjects I find a bit hurtful, and it is hard to keep the threads hidden when you know that there might be more hurtful content coming up, etc. So you look. It's like picking a scab.

The second reason is that from time to time really hurtful things are said, and I don't want anyone remaining in the discussion to be badly hurt.

I entirely understand if people do decde to keep on discussing. They are perfectly entitled to. Just like I am perfectly entitled to ask them not to.

SinkingontheTitanic · 03/01/2009 17:53

Point taken. I had stopped posting on this topic. I managed quite a few days without it. It was the new personal revelation that got me started again.

I agree. I am off to post something cheerful somewhere else. Don't follow me!

And I won't condemn anyone who still wants to talk about this.

Nighbynight · 03/01/2009 18:50

cheers custy, was wondering when this thread would start!

Sinking, I can only say that if I had discovered what you did, then I too would have had strong feelings...so post away. If you now feel better, then thats good.

I reckon we needed this thread, to laugh at Hun and Royalty points.
Onebat, please swear you weren't making that up, just to make us all feel better?

Tiggiwinkle · 03/01/2009 18:56

Please, don't come on here telling other people to stop posting.

For goodness sake, if you don't want to read about something, don't open the thread. Simple as that! Why do you need to comment at all?

Tallis · 03/01/2009 19:12

Am generally a lurker rather than a frequent poster, but just wanted to say how relieved I am to see Lulumama's name on this thread. One of the best parts of recent kerfuffle is realising how many MN stalwarts, whom so many of us depend on for advice, are still here. Let's hear it for Rump Mumsnet. I reckon there's enough of you around to keep the home fires burning...

FairLadyRantALot · 03/01/2009 19:16

lol nighbynight.....I kinda think maybe onebat is lying about it....because, I am sure that some that I suspect to be mouldies ( not a spelling mistake)were always so disregarding of avators and tickers and some such silly things....surely, they would not drop down to a hun/royalty point level

Mercy · 03/01/2009 19:17

Fairladyrantalot - cod is not the founder of Moldies. She had to leave MN because people she knew in RL worked out who she was . I don't know who they were, what was said etc

FairLadyRantALot · 03/01/2009 19:19

oh right....a post on this thread made it sound as so she was.....I possibly have misunderstood it....
I knew cod had gone a while back....wasn't sure why, etc....

ScottishMummy · 03/01/2009 19:20

i hope the moldie debacle is diminishing and we return to business as usual.the nub of the moldie issue imo was a few big heads thought they were bigger than MN.began to conceptualise themselves as older/wiser/more incisive than others.a creeping wave of entitlement feeling better than other posters.gushy and sycophantic little MN royalty quips

well so wrong

MN is not about who is whom,it is about all the posters.Including the silent majority who didnt feel need to bray about alleged good ole days or shout newbie at everyone

FairLadyRantALot · 03/01/2009 19:25

very true scottish

tbh it feels less toxic,not as many so called "oldies" or hanger-ons squawking about good ole days

sure MN undoubtedly must have changed.however such movement and change adds vibrancy,and spontaneity

FiveGoMadInDorset · 03/01/2009 19:38

It is more open and less dominated, people I think now have a chance of being heard rather than dismissed.

Mercy · 03/01/2009 19:39

Dittany, Moldies wasn't set up by or for cod

daftpunk · 03/01/2009 19:40

i think cod would have had more sense......

ScottishMummy · 03/01/2009 19:43

i agree some posters used to rush to be first to post "Yawn" or squawk "troll/newbie" just for kicks

morningpaper · 03/01/2009 19:46

they don't have hun/royalty anymore

rumour hazzit that it is something about penis size

hmm

morningpaper · 03/01/2009 19:47
