Perhaps try reposting in Politics or In The News?

Why is it interesting Leithlurker?

In fact why is it the either/or situation you presented in your second post?

It is interesting that for a board normally as busy as fwr it seemed that no one had any comment to make, until AuntStella did. Plus an apparently well known troll start 4-5? different threads after mine and on one something lit 12 replies. It struck me as being curious.

I could only think of the either or explanation, if there are others such as no one opened the thread to look at it until again Aunt Stella did, I find that interesting also. Do you have other explanations Daffodil?

Well I am glad that you such an active imagination, would you like to share or are you just going to remain enigmatic.

Some may not want you/others to know
Some may simply not want to talk about it
Some may wonder why you want to know
Some may wonder why you've posted this in feminism (as AuntStella pointed out there are seemingly more appropriate topics to post this under)
Some may be suspicious, given your posting history in feminism

You have just posted this asking for personal information off people. This is one topic area where that is suspicious behaviour and where many are reluctant to divulge personal information, especially with trolls about.

Kim what part do you not under stand,
The original inquiry?
My second inquiry?
Or the discussion that came out of my second inquiry?

Personal information? Really, as personal as their real names or the street address which they live. Large public events with up to 3 thousand in Glasgow, yes I see what you mean easily identifiable.

As for this being an inappropriate place, are you saying that discussion of welfare reforms is not something that those that inhabit this board want to talk about?

No Kim I doubt it, if you are then many, many more are also losing it, what ever the it is or was.

OK you can be deliberately obtuse if you want to Leith. But yes asking where someone went on a march is asking for personal information and no I never said this section doesn't want to talk about welfare reforms. But you didn't start a thread to discuss welfare reforms. You started one to ask if and where people went for a march, without offering similar information for yourself and without offering an opener for discussion.

who wants to know and why?

your reasons for wanting to know are unclear and become even more opaque with every post

and you seem a bit confrontational with it, too

what an interesting way to pass a sunday

Hmm

I have seen threads started with "Who is going to so and so event, or who will be attending such and such women's day events. All of which from memory got good responses. That did not seem to cause any panic about personal information

So I am obtuse for not knowing that a general inquiry about people going on a march was personal information, yet although naming the march and the clue is in the name, people will not guess that the thread will in part be about welfare reforms? That really makes little sense.

Chibli I want to know is that good enough for you?

You think I am being confrontational, as said to me by MNHQ a while back "Posters express themselves on fwr sometimes in a robust manner, that does not mean they are being inflammatory or rude"

your thread is called so who went on a.

as mercilessly enticing as that is, maybe it wasn't enough to provoke people into clicking

or maybe feminists are happy with the destruction of the welfare state, or whatever your premise happens to be.

Leith, a guy over the road has been revving his motorbike for the last 20 minutes and I'm trying to have an Easter nap.
Nip over and tell him to piss off, would you? You're clearly spoiling for a fight, so it'd be good to do something constructive at the same time. Smile

Well, it wasn't a particularly engaging OP, was it? As pointed out, your title is one of one annoying cut off half way so I have to click and find out what you're talking about sort.

I did in fact click it the other day. I haven't been on a march, I didn't know any were happening, is this a national thing or are they isolated local ones? As I didn't go on one, I didn't answer.

Did you go on one OP? How was it? Why/what do you want to know? Are you thinking of going on one? Did you want to know what it was like?

Also I do think its an interesting question as to why you posted it in FWR? Do you think there's a particular relevance! (Im interested, btw, not being snarky)

I didn't see your thread until just now when it appeared towards the top of Active Convos.

So did you go on a march? How did it go? Did many people attend?
