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.

Sheila Had A Cervix...

sounds like the perfect title for one of those adult Ladybird spoof books.

Speaking of which, my car's due a 20,000 mile interim cervix

This thread has slid downhill faster than Nutella on a hot spoon.
In doing so, it's risen in my estimation.

@TattyFrench apparently the plural of cervix is cervixes or cervices, but the plural of vulva is vulvae.

An example of use in a sentence:

Members of SANP would regularly post pictures of the vulvae, and cervices while insisting that photos of toast could be triggering .

niugboo · 14/06/2018 17:29

Cervices?

OtherUsername · 14/06/2018 17:27

Hopefully the picture attaches...

HairFullofSecrets people post pictures of their cervixes- is that the plural on cervix?

Sheila had a cervix.
Sheila's friends put all of their cervixes on display.

Hmm, doesn't sound tight.

niugboo · 14/06/2018 17:20

@hairfullofsecrets think I just peed.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 17:20

Can everyone stop posting pictures of Nutella please? It's triggering me.

Even though I got a Nutella tatoo today (its hidden under my trousers).

HairFullOfSecrets · 14/06/2018 17:18

@niugboo you're right. But it's one of the most amusing examples of hypocrisy.

Please, put that picture of your breakfast in the comments! Meanwhile here's a picture of my cervix for you to look at.

niugboo · 14/06/2018 17:02

@sluttybutty they’re snowflakes. Everything has the potential to offend or trigger.

Scienceawarenaturalparent · 14/06/2018 17:02

This indecision's bugging me

I'm moving into Mumsnet there are no trigger or content warnings and you can swear and post pictures without modmin twats getting cross. So AIBU and should I stay or should I go now

🤔 are none of them capable of working out which photos might be triggering to avoid all pics in comments? Have we really become so pc and dumbed down as a society? Bizarre.

IveGotBillsTheyreMultiplying · 14/06/2018 16:50

What will the daily mail make of this thread?

I'm sure naturalNutellaCult is an anagram of something really rude, though.

niugboo · 14/06/2018 16:50

@hairfullofsecrets that is so not the best of the hypocrisy. Not even close. Amusing still.

Is desperate to join this cult group.

I wanted to join the scientology but just couldn't justify the 30% of earnings to be handed over even though they had Tom Cruise.

Id be happy to join for up to £6.99 a month. But for that I would expect at least 1 orgy per full moon and a minimum of either Daniella Westbrook or a chuckle brother to be the celebrity endorser

HairFullOfSecrets · 14/06/2018 16:21

The best of SANP hypocrisy though is that in the main group all photos have to be in the comments in case they're triggering.
Cute cat picture- in comments could be triggering
New dress-in comments could be triggering
You baked a cake for your child's birthday- comments, triggering

But the off shoot sex group is wall to wall unsolicited vagina pics

MadeleineMaxwell · 14/06/2018 16:18

So is it all like red cloaks and white bonnets but with Nutella lube and quidditch?

Barbara should pitch that to Netflix.

niugboo · 14/06/2018 15:36

If you don’t obey you pretty much get your card marked and as soon as they can they issue a BANHAMMER. And if opportunity doesn’t present itself they LITERALLY make shit up.

Well, Tom Cruise is probably the leader of SANP, have a look at his feet, he's always wearing Salty sandals. It's a dead giveaway.

We all give birth in silence and believe the writings of J. K. Rowling to be fact.
