I dont want a war,I want to resolve any issues privatly without a audience,as I said maturly,where did you get I want a war from?

Hopelesslydisorganised · 27/01/2011 14:45

Okaaay! Please calm down all - I really don't want to see people leaving. I have gained so much from the SN section over the past year - even if more a reader than a poster.
There is room here for differing opinions but not judgemental ones with anyone stating " you are a crap parent if ......". As far as I am concerned that is unacceptable as everybody's experience is different and what is simple to solve with one child's SN might not be with another.

I welcome new people as it's good to hear experiences and support one another. I don't welcome those who have no interest in the topic other than to make silly judgements.

Stay on here Fanjo.

Toppy · 27/01/2011 14:51

shocking - what the hell is going on around here !
Fanjo - please please don't leave

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/01/2011 14:52

No. If this is a board where people are allowed to post coments about me having no life, being a bully etc, then I don't want to post on it,

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/01/2011 14:52

And I have ni desire to PM you, WHAT.

WHAThisFlappinNotFlyin · 27/01/2011 14:53

Fango cheer up,I'm sorry!

donkeyderby · 27/01/2011 14:56

Really disgraceful comments about you having no life Fanjo. Just not the SN board as we know it. I hope it all stops, this thread dies, you don't leave and it's business as usual here

WHAThisFlappinNotFlyin · 27/01/2011 14:57

This place obviously means alot to you,I don't mind leaving if it will make you happy,I don't want to argue with you no more to be honest it just makes me sad and I don't like that feeling,if I'm snappy I apologise my son had Been diagnosed autistic 18 days ago an my emotions are everywhere,so if I've mis judged some if what you have said I apologise,I wouldn't want all those who you have supported to loose you because me and you don't see eye to eye!

WHAThisFlappinNotFlyin · 27/01/2011 14:58

And if it makes you happy I don't really have much of a life away from my children which is why I joined looking for friendship!

WHA please stay. If your son has just been diagnosed then you have lots in common with others here. My son was diagnosed only last March and I know what a bombshell this is - even if it is a diagnosis you were expecting. I have found MN a massive support even just by reading the threads.

There is loads of info here about ASD. Also about getting the right support and benefits if needed such as DLA.

Definitely nobody should leave when they could gain so much from staying - new AND old members.

Peachy · 27/01/2011 16:19

Whathis- hugs. i remember when the boys were diagnosed (vividly- cruel twist was ds3 six months after ds1) and it was a horrid time.

If you already have my ASD powerpoints I offer to send ignore me but I can never keep up so if you want them (doing an MA in ASD, some great ones incluidng one on sensory by a Trainer of OTs) PM me with a RL addy.

And keep strong: it's a bit like a bereavement in terms of the process and takes a long time of ups and downs.

Lougle · 27/01/2011 16:31

Dear me....I am astounded. I know I haven't been around much.

What does that make me? Am I an oldie, or a 'revived newbie'?

Surely this town's big enough for both of us?

Look, that toilet training comment was naive at best. Ignorant. Let's call a spade a spade.

But the good news is, that despite us 'oldies' being well-known on here, we would, each and every one of us, get our butts kicked if we had said it!

See, equality after all.

All these people 'taking a break' has forced me to start posting again. Just can't stand to see the good advice decimated.

Peachy · 27/01/2011 16:36

Well said Lougle.

And nice to see you.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/01/2011 16:40

i never said there was no room for newbies BTW, I just objected to some rudeness and was subjected to a barrage of personal insults including not looking after DD properly, having no friends, having children just to get benefits and bullying people to take out the frustrations of my miserable life.

Just to make things clear before I disappear again, in case you think I was indeed not "welcoming" enough to the new posters. Hmm

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/01/2011 16:41

since the attacks were rightfully deleted, except the last one.

SparkleRainbow · 27/01/2011 16:50

fanjo you were very welcoming to me when I was a newcomer a year ago. Saw this thread early on the ignored it. As lougle said the good advice and support is the most important thing, couldn't have faced what I have to do without Lougle's help today, that is what this is all about.

I will honk for sn mners, anytime zzzzz

SparkleRainbow · 27/01/2011 16:51

Shall I practice my art of thread killing? For the greater good?

WHAThisFlappinNotFlyin · 27/01/2011 17:16

Fanjo that what I don't get,I'm sure you think I'm someone else,I never said anything about having children to get Benifits or baraged you with insults,I simply said what is all this newbie business about and The bitching and bullying and people leaving,you were like basically if you dont like it p-off!

Yeah I did make a comment about you over guarding the board!! And that I think you take it all a little too seriously,I'm not apoligising for what I think,but I will apologise if you don't like it.

I'm not angry anymore haven't got the energy,enjoying watching the kids play on the Kinect and play together for once.

And Thankyou to all who have been supportive towards me I really appreciate it and would welcome any advice given to me. X

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/01/2011 17:18

FFS, the other poster said the comments and you said "damn right" etc, and said I had no life. I actually do have a life, but am not getting into this, bye bye!

Lougle · 27/01/2011 17:25

Fanjo, you have mail.....
