Is it a standard practice here to call all new people a Wum? Just be aware please, that I am not a naive newbie that can be intimidated. Up until yesterday I was sharing my sister's account so I know what this word means, you've picked on the wrong person this time.

'Elo Adam. Didn't see you thread last night, so not sure what was really said. Wouldn't worry about it too much. I think everyone has been accused of being a WUM at some point, so join the club! Anyways, welcome!

That's strange, Adam. Your hello thread seemed friendly last night. Did something happen in the night? Joy

Not that I'm aware of Joy.

Joy Report 12 Jul 2006 11:12

That's good. I can assure you that, as far as I am aware, it is not standard practice to call new people a WUM :-) Joy

so if its not a daft question, if you raised a thread, which didn't turn unpleasant, when were you called a wum then ?

if you've been using your sister's account for a while you'll know that the easiest way to start an argument on this board is to say you've been called a WUM and yet you aren't one! If you aren't spoiling for an argument you'll delete this before it gets out of hand!! I hope you have fun on the boards xx

he hasnt said when he was called a wum. it could have been by message as he hasnt mentioned his thread. can i just say that i felt i was under suspicion and scrutiny when i joined too. within seconds of posting i had people mentioning my age and where i come from i might have wanted it kept private but i felt invaded by certain members. i did recieve a message asking if i was new or ressurected too. i am new. but feel i wont be around too long.
