AIBU to be upset about a facebook group

AIBU staying in a facebook group?

I have had a quick name change!

I'm a member of a large facebook group for natural parents who are also science aware. This group has been a fantastic resource and support network but its all gone wrong. The people running the page all have their own issues and are ganging up on other members for what seems like no reason.

I have thought long and hard about leaving the group because it seems like playground bullying but i just cant seem to do it.

They are great when you need your hand holding and will help you with any problem you could think of. They have a fantastic support network of Nutella addicts and people with difficulties like ADHD and depression I'm not sure there there is a better community.

BUT posting in it can be like stepping onto a nest of vipers. People having mental health problems can be kicked out for no good reason OR supported with people being sent round to check on them or taxis being called and paid for by the group when fleeing a husband. It just depends if you are in with the right crowd or not.

There are many LGBTQ members and there are a lot who are in relationships or who have experimented with eachother and this is causing tension on the group.

I cant seem to leave but i can't seem to stay and I don't even know these people in real life.

CaitlynsCat I can't say I'm quite sure what you're doing. Is it content from the cult scripture that you're posting?

TornFromTheInside · 13/06/2018 23:07

If that's not a euphemism you can gtfo of this cult.

Can't speak now...

ShapelyBingoWing · 13/06/2018 23:05

I think I can get my tongue all the way to the bottom of a Nutella jar.

I don't care what the job is, if I ever see that on a CV, that person is getting an interview.

MedicinalGin · 13/06/2018 23:05

Christ.

I’ve never done Class A drugs, but I think it would feel like reading through this thread.

I bet that smug twat zuckerberg is dead proud of his ‘connected’ planet where organic Nutella addicts with a penchant for threesomes and science can get together and exchange bantz and rudeness. Progress! Grin

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 13/06/2018 23:05

Wait, you almost ran over a rabbit?! I just stepped on a slug. At least I thought it was a slug...
Thinking about it, it may have been a sentinent blob of nutella trying to recruit me to an online sex cult. That's way more plausible.

TornFromTheInside · 13/06/2018 23:05

What the flippin' 'eck are salt-water sandals?

CaitlynsCat · 13/06/2018 23:04

Note this does NOT apply to chocolate eggs. Except the ones made with pus-filled milk, obviously.

Spudlet · 13/06/2018 23:04

I DEMAND SCREENSHOTS

[ahem] The good mother makes bean soup for the errant boy, I mean. Obvs.

When you eat an egg you are supporting the murder of hundreds of millions of male chicks every year (200,000,000 – two-hundred million in the United States alone).

Boy chickens simply will not grow as big or as fast as female chickens. They also are not able to produce eggs. They are literally - and figuratively - rubbish.

Every time you buy a box of eggs, whether they are conventional, organic, free-range, cage-free, certified humanely raised, etc., you are in effect paying for the murder of hundreds of millions of BABIES.

The industry supports the murder of hundreds of millions of male chickens every year to keep their supply of female “producing” chickens fresh.

@TornFromTheInside but I love NAPS!

Strawberrybelly · 13/06/2018 23:01

I think this thread is one of the most bizarre things I have ever read. I very much doubt it will still be here in the morning but it's been entertaining.

Trouble is, I sneezed and not have it all over my face.

OP's not coming back.

She's face down in a jar of nutella.

Snitches get PALM OIL.

Ooooooh sounds just like CBM back in the day, right down to the weird sexual relationships between members. Good times.

Where did the red squirrel come from?

The significant owl hoots in the night.

Mightychipp · 13/06/2018 22:58

Well now I can’t join the cult (even though I have Nutella!!) I will just sit back and watch this rather bizarre thread unfold, while eating my giant bag of cheese puffs.

Atthebottomofthesea · 13/06/2018 22:56

Where did the red squirrel come from? Though today I nearly hit a rabbit (or a hare how do you tell the difference?) It ran in front of me as I was doing 50 odd then dithered about before running into a field.

I'm sure there is a moral somewhere in there.

Spudlet · 13/06/2018 22:56

@poddige I'm dead against it. Traders need access to Dixons!

The P in SANP is actually a T and an A run together

We're the only species that drinks G&T too

I refute that. There’s several species living in my house and the gin bottle is empty...

Thesearepearls · 13/06/2018 22:53

I'm in stitches at the thought of Nutella addiction being a thing
