monte well said.

That's shit about arse, I hope she's back soon.

And I agree emotions I do suspect that earlier posts by a certain individual were trying to make it a TAAT in order to get it deleted.

Excuse me - I had no interest in shutting your thread down - you ascribe way too much importance to yourselves. I did however have an interest in stopping a thread from making not so hidden jibes at another poster who I consider to be in an extremely vulnerable position at the moment. It would appear, that between HQ and myself and whichever other posters have been reporting you, that is now clear. Referring to posters who shall not be named and certain other posters does not actually disguise anything.

They have been here and stayed throughout so their voice is the first and the loudest. They have never had a thread that went against them so openly before and it is not liked.

This actually made me laugh loud enough for my children to ask what was funny. Are you really of the opinion that this is the first thread of its nature - the only difference is that a lot of the initial part of this thread was aimed at one poster and not a group of them - making it way more unpleasant in its nature than the norm.

I am not vunerable, I have been through my own personal hell which makes me immune to the postings of people I have never met, I am comfortable in my views and indeed have spent some considerable time discussing various things with a very experienced family therapist. Im well read and well informed on the topics I discuss and do not pluck random ideas from the air.

Regardless of all explanations given it is clear HQ think th
is is a thread "inspired" by another thread.

Referring to posters who shall not be aib posters

whyonearthdoyouthink · 05/08/2014 08:45

And I cant remember who posted it - the post I reported refereed to "that poster" as rude and abusive - which is a clear personal attack.

Waltermittythesequel · 05/08/2014 08:55

You know, for someone who doesn't post anymore there sure is no stopping you on this thread!

Did you ever think that perhaps these delicate little flowers you're defending don't actually need your help? They're more than capable of spouting vile insults without any input from you.

whyonearthdoyouthink · 05/08/2014 09:06

I said I didn't post lately - its prob been about 6 months. Oddly enough - I do read more than I post, in addition, I am camping - at home I have more things to fill my time.

I don't think the poster you have been goading can defend herself - it sort of reminds me of poking a bear with a stick and then being oh so shocked when the bear retaliates.

whyonearthdoyouthink · 05/08/2014 09:06

And thats a collective you not you personally

Waltermittythesequel · 05/08/2014 09:09

There has been absolutely, categorically no goading on this thread. None.

YOU keep discussing other posters.

whyonearthdoyouthink · 05/08/2014 09:14

I disagree with you - you disagree with me - as is both of our prerogatives. Referring to someone as TPWSNBN doesnt hide anything. I do however believe the no of deletions speaks for itself - regardless of the HQ are out to get us views now being promoted - HQ do actually only delete posts that break guidelines. And I wouldnt have posted at all if I wasnt being discussed still - I was decidedly absent yesterday.And referring to me as a certain individual doesnt disguise anything either.

ArsenicFaceCream · 05/08/2014 09:31

Referring to someone as TPWSNBN doesnt hide anything

Nothing substantive has been discussed.

The discussion largely revolves around the lack of interest in discussing that person.

(And your obsessive interest in posting about them)

I don't expect you will grasp that point though.

It's beyond boring now

Morning Walt

Another LP throwing in support here. Smile

It's good to see some step parents who don't dislike their SC!

My DD (eldest of 3) has been accused of being a "mini-wife" by her father and his partner. She's 10. She is a very confused little girl - Daddy was single for 3 years, during which time she grew accustomed to doing his cooking, laundry, helping with her brothers etc. XH doesn't appear to understand that his reliance on her caused the massive problems she has with his new partner, and they've decided to deal with it through punitive discipline. She still has to do the cooking and laundry though.

I think the idea of mini-wife syndrome is insidious and damaging to everyone - and removes yet more responsibility from the father, as everyone gets to blame the child at the centre of it!

Keep on keeping on, you lot.

Pagwatch · 05/08/2014 09:37

Good morning everyone Grin

There are some lovely hats on here.
I think you chaps have a burgoning hat clique.

To be honest, whilst I think that the idea up thread to finish this thread and create a new one borne entirely of a desire to provide support for those seeking to create harmony in their homes, it is likely that there will be continued goading.
It might be worth a try though. You should have a name. The mad hatters?

In other news, it's my 25th wedding anniversary today. It feels very odd to be sooo old. Smile

whyonearthdoyouthink · 05/08/2014 09:40

I disagree, Tapper disagrees and a number of other posters left the thread because they disagree, all I have done is openly discuss what everyone else was hinting and not so subtly referring to. You wont silence me no matter how hard you try. I can see the treated others have received though and how it would affect them.

Waltermittythesequel · 05/08/2014 09:44

If we could keep the Braveheart antics to a minimum that would be great.

Also, you're being naughty, naming posters. Isn't that why you ran to the headmistress about us?

ArsenicFaceCream · 05/08/2014 09:45

I think Faire's new thread idea make's sense myself Pag; One unencumbered by spin-off status and impossible parameters

It is a shared sense of something or other that brought us together, after all. The thread we happened to 'meet' on is irrelevant.

Anyway Congratulations Pag! I'm not sure about very old but 25 years is really very married!

Hi Crunchy! So nice that people are making sense of this bonkers thread Smile

Good morning one and all!

Arse nice to see you Wink

Silver wedding anniversary Pag?

Congratulations! Here's your hat Smile

Incredibly hypocritical that this thread was "never meant to be about another poster". Why then do I get mentioned quite early on?

*Waltermittythesequel Sun 03-Aug-14 17:21:19
So, need the Bingo thread turned into an attack on a specific poster because she didn't like it, but that was hilarious.

This thread though, because we're not all pissing on about how our sc are evil incarnate and we're talking about hats, this is not funny.

Have I got that right?

I guess it depends on what side of the fence you come down on.

Me? I would rather support everyone who posts here.

And, why, there are NO similarities between your situation and Tapper's.

Tapper has never, ever said she suspected her sc of anything other than just being teens.

Her problem is that they're in her life. That's it. How you see any sort of similarity is truly extraordinary.*

I asked MNHQ to delete my former thread as it was becoming a farce, just to get it up to 1000 posts. Amy's response, which I posted on here "well we will just let it fill up (to 1000 posts), because if we do delete it, then the probability is that another thread will start up referencing it. Implying IMO, that another thread would not start up. Oh how wrong (or naiive) they were. This thread has been nothing but an attack on "That Poster who will not be named". Oh that's me, ha ha ha! Just call me Voldemort, at least it is a shorter word to type than the acronym to describe me

FlossyMoo · 05/08/2014 09:54

Good morning why

You have made your thoughts about us perfectly clear.

The first mention of another poster came because Walt didn't think that your situations were comparable. That post was not nasty or goady it just highlighted the differences in your two situations.

The subsequent discussions about that poster were driven by you. We all said that we did not want to discuss it yet you wouldn't leave it alone.

We have not poked that poster with a stick you have.
Yes this thread came about because of that thread but the only things we are discussing are the blogs, terminology and different SPing styles.

You don't like us fine. You don't want to discuss any of the points raised, you just want to keep talking about the other poster and we don't. Hide the thread otherwise it just appears like you have an agenda and have done from the start.

ArsenicFaceCream · 05/08/2014 09:56

That is a reply to whyonearth who posted discussing your life Tapper. Take it up with whyonearth maybe?

Ooh a silver hat. I'd look like the Queen in that.

NickiFury · 05/08/2014 09:58

Can we please just ignore the Drama Llamas? It was highly likely this was going to happen. There's only two of them, which is pretty good all things considered. They're irrelevant to this thread and it's purpose and adding nothing worthwhile to it. Best ignored.

Arse glad you're back, please don't go again Smile.
