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.

If a shiny antique speculum is climatic, would that be called a mirror finish?

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:23

£30.50 would be taking the piss. You'd have to be a right mug to pay that.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:22

What does Anne Teak make of her speculum being sold on the internet?

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:22

For when you just can't decide what your best angle is.

niugboo · 14/06/2018 18:21

This whole thread needs a TW.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:21

As fascinated by that antique speculum as I am, I cannot deny my amazement at the 30.49 price. I wonder which market segment would balk at 30.50?

SluttyButty · 14/06/2018 18:20

Ive seen it all now, an antique speculum for your fanny, arse or both. Lovely 🤪

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:15

For the bargin price of 30.49 you can buy a nice rusty antique speculum from etsy www.etsy.com/uk/listing/527965066/antique-vaginal-or-anal-speculum?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=speculum&ref=sr_gallery-1-7

Isn't a chiropractor a back handler?

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:08

Maybe what they do, the odd people in the odd Nutella group, is give the nurse who does the smear tests a back handler.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:07

I do believe Tesco have already implemented this.

The Self-Cervix Checkout. Mind you, don't be surprised if you get the 'please remove additional items' warning when you try it out.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:05

The zoom womb lens - for where the Sony don't shine?

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:05

I thought there must be a little app on my phone - Self Cervix App or something. I guess depending on the size, a smaller phone camera could be shoved up there? Or on a tampon? It would be like Spring Watch only Cervix Watch. I might pitch that to the BBC.

niugboo · 14/06/2018 17:58

Camera strapped on Terrence?

SluttyButty · 14/06/2018 17:57

Torn 👏🏻😂👏🏻

Tatty how? How, when to have a smear they have to ram a bloody speculum up there and then go digging. Is there some kind of fanny camera (other than that ultrasound wand thing they use in hospitals) that I know nothing about?

Selfiedick Grin

BasilFaulty · 14/06/2018 17:52

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON BUT I'M EXCITED

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 17:51

With a selfiedick, maybe

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 17:49

A womb with a view 😆😆

But isn't it kind of easy to take a picture of your cervix?

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 17:46

If you pluralise a cervix, isn't that a form of reproduction?

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 17:43

How the fuck can you take a picture of your own cervix?

You need a womb with a view

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 17:41

I thought it might be more suited to a new song for Morrisey, he can just recycle 'Sheila Take a Bow'. I'll do it for him if he pays me.

If nothing else productive has happened today, I now know how to pluralise cervix and Villa. Although I did sell a chair and a picture so I feel I shouldn't hide my light under a bushel too much.

No cult ever recognized itself as a cult.

SluttyButty · 14/06/2018 17:38

How the fuck can you take a picture of your own cervix? Shock

fontofnoknowledge · 14/06/2018 17:35

I don't belong to Facebook. Real life, 7 kids, chickens dogs and cats is enough drama.
Give real life a whirl OP. It's relatively calmer and if people are unpleasant you can tell them to fuck off to their face. So far in my 57 yr history, this has been unnecessary.
