is there a moldies part three?

[Tortington]

just wondering, as i can't find it.

[SinkingontheTitanic]

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]

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]

isn't helpful I should say.

[FairLadyRantALot]

so, is cod the founder of mouldygate than?

[Threadworm]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

very true scottish

[ScottishMummy]

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]

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

[Mercy]

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

[daftpunk]

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

[ScottishMummy]

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

[morningpaper]

they don't have hun/royalty anymore

rumour hazzit that it is something about penis size

hmm

[morningpaper]

and

[ScottishMummy]

well,i favour the republic.any megalomaniacs or royalty off with their head.

Vive La Republique! Vive La MumsNet!

[FairLadyRantALot]

lol scottish.....

lol morningpaper....
