Message for Xenia

[opinionsrus]

What I would like to ask is how exactly do you find so much spare time to chat on these boards about earning between £100k and £250k when you have five children of your own and also what seems must be a very demanding full time job?

I have just one child and a very part time job and this will be about the only 5 minutes I get to luxuriate on the internet?

Xenia - I feel you just upset the applecart on here and in not a nice way.

I think you're just a bit blunt that's all, which is usually a male quality. Personally I'm not offended by you in the slightest, you have different views to me that's all. But I can see why others have been a bit upset by the sometimes, thoughtless posts? Such as on QuootiePie's? Although I think it's not on for everyone to gang up on you, I don't think you're a troll, I've had conversations with you before on Muslims right? You just remind me of someone who speaks before they think. Just preview more often!

I missed this thread, and funnily enough I thought the same as Cod and posted on the school thread at 7.43pm yesterday - with exactly the same observation!

Queenmummy - how do you know he is who he says he is on the other sites you use?

There are many here who swore blind that JF was who he said he was - but he wasn't!

Am I alone in thinking Xenia is not a troll because of the content of her posts? Inflammatory as they may be, they reveal a breadth of experience on a wide range of subjects that no bloke in Cardiff could plausibly come up with.

is not a troll also someone who posts provocatively, insensitively and with no regard for the feelings of others? re the remarks on the private school thread and on quootie's today....

the posts are eloquent and i think they reflect a certain intelligence..but the comments re 'nice floaty dresses and high heels'., 'thank god for enid blyton' , disruptive & disable being used almost interchangeably, then asking for sympathy re a diffucult personal situation

show a lack of awareness of modern and current social niceties...hence,.,very insensitive postings..IMO

anyway,none of us knows that any of us are who we say we are..has to be a certain amourn of trust...and xenia's post don;t make me trust her.....

Again, I just think that she speaks before she thinks.

She's certainly got a lot of your attention anyway, and as trolls love attention, she's won on that score if that is what she wants!

Why not just accept that some people are like that? Pretty soon we'll be accusing everyone who has a differing opinion than ours of being trolls! There were loads of extreme opinions on the £250k a year thread, but only Xenia got singled out for some reason. Smacks to me of people not liking what they hear so they resort to name-calling (troll). Doesn't say much for Mumsnet does it?

Oi! Lay off. I for one like Xenia. I find her views very sensible. And I always admire someone who says what they mean and means what they say.

hey don't get all huffy on us now, xenia... assuming QM is for real (and i see no reason to suspect otherwise) then you you are a lawyer and might easily have been interviewed for a legal on the story. you didn't need to crack on about your expertise when answering the question would have done just as well.

You would do Uwila!

fair enough rhubarb...yes, troll is name calling, if oyu will..but i stand by what i said in the post..there is a difference between being forthright and barging in with no thoght to the consequences,,
as a lawyer, she will be very much aware of the power of words..and i imagine they are chosen carefully...

There's a very interesting issue here, isn't there? Ypu get women brought up to be very submissive who go around bolstering each other's egos all the time - you all know the drill - oh what a lovely dress that is (when you hate it) or isn't your husband awful, all that nicey nicey let's pretend we love each other, swarmy, marmy lovey dovey stuff, never say a critical word because we are women and instead we criticse each other in gossip to friends and we never debate or disagree or if we do disagree we dress it up because we've been trained to hold back...

May be this is the reason some women don't do so well at work. Anyway I'm afraid I absolutely stand behind a comment that some disabled children in a class room disrupt the work of others. Anyone who says I suggested they all did can't read.

"YOU women"????!!!!!

are you not one yourself then?

(i have never used to many exclamatories in one place in my entire life and i promise never to do so again. )

No, you're not alone blueshoes, that's why I have my doubts.

Eh? I think I've missed a thread. Good Lord with all the time I spend on here you mean I still managed to miss something.

so being in being sensitive, we are being submissive...interesting

i can read..was summarising....

and i am a SAHM , traiing to be a doula ( shall i mention my law degree........? so i guess i'm screwed .

bless your socks, xenia, you are bonkers. and i did read that 'disabled' crack and thought it read very badly indeed, regardless of what you later explained you meant.

xenia!!!
it about to begin!told you girlfriend!

I'm a woman but I don't think it's very interesting having threads about one person. It's just dull. Also it's bad practice because they're usually about a person who wanted attention anyway so you just feed the problem.

...aw, i'm beginning to get really fond of you now.

Xenia...bovine?

"you get women"

Don't really know why I'm defending her, I shall stop now!

Still think she's real though, unfortunately.

er JUST to remind you all pph and i and a few others toook a lot of shit fro daring to question JF

( smug emoticon)

Well we certainly don't want all UK citizens to be clones, do we so a bit of variety does us all good. If I can persuade one mothersnetter to have their chidlren call her mummy rather than mum I will have done my work on earth.....

I don't take myself very seriously. Now laughing...
