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.

Still don't know what Barbara has done. Terence is a sex aid Hmm. Now off to google what the hell saltwater sandles are Grin. The thread that keeps on giving. Please let it still be here when I finish work tonight.

Barbara didn't do it - I have that on good authority from the shop in Cornwall.

If the dog has just been upstairs and weed on my bed I will be cross.

She knows who you are. She will find you, and she will Nutella the FUCK out of you.

Spudlet · 14/06/2018 12:23

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 12:15

She has very smelly feet poddige?

poddige · 14/06/2018 12:00

@OkMaybeNot and we all know what they say about a woman with four pairs of saltwater sandals.

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 11:53

As evidenced by Fuckoffoutofsanpthen's posts. Her stalking skills are second-to-none.

She has four pairs of salt-water sandals. Much skill. Very creepy.

Jux · 14/06/2018 11:51

Fuckofoutofsanpthen, does that mean that those in the know are also thinking it's obvious who you are?

Can I join? I like a bit of a bust up. I could accompany you all on the uke...gwan, you know you want me Grin

user1510568216 · 14/06/2018 11:51

Lol @StormcloakNord Grin

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 11:50

Yeah Evening, it was a slow process from bewildered to fully accepted into the inner sanctum. But once you're in, you're in. And then there's nowhere to hide...

StormcloakNord · 14/06/2018 11:49

How in all holy fuck do I get an invite into this group?

I LOVE DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!

EveningHare · 14/06/2018 11:47

Not a clue on what's happening...

But CaitlynsCat posts change rapidly from the first to the last???

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 11:42

Oh I don’t think we are. You’ve been fed the admin version and brought it hook line and sinker.

aviculara · 14/06/2018 11:19

I think we are talking about completely different things here.

niugboo · 14/06/2018 11:17

Actually will rephrase that. The only person at risk from the advice was the abuser.

niugboo · 14/06/2018 11:15

@aviculara see that’s bullshit. I’ve seen the posts. Some ex members, who knew nothing about situation with admin because they are EX members saw a post in another group from some asking for advice and support. They gave clear and consistent advice. Go to the police. Contact social services. Secure yourself financially etc. There was no advice at all that put anyone at risk of harm. The advice was sound. Current members gave similar advice. But there was nothing dangerous and certainly not “borderline criminal”.

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 11:09

And she knows what she did.

aviculara · 14/06/2018 11:08

Well I've seen a huge amount of evidence to this effect. Some of it borders on criminal. Glad they are gone. It's horrible to think people are spying on members to help others abuse them.

Lethaldrizzle · 14/06/2018 11:06

You'll never get justice for Barbara cos she's guilty as hell
