Those who believe MN is more leftists, what makes you think so?

Are they still on the original thread?

A list was requested. Do people feel uncomfortable with what was provided? Why would that be I wonder.

Maybe as a pp has said, they should’ve been deleted when they were first written but no one reported them.

I haven't reported your post quoting my (real this time) comments, if that is what you 're implying. I have no problem with it.

Bizarre.

I somehow think the original posts should have been reported, or is the Starmer thread somehow immune?

Oh I see, yes maybe they‘ve been reported as unacceptable insults.

Well, if MNHQ considers it to be against their guidelines, it's going to be removed.

Does MNHQ not allow past comments to be quoted? Oddly enough, PandoraSox’s comments which I reposted still stands.
10….9…..8…..7….6…..

Why on earth was that list removed?
I was asked for a list of insults which I provided. PandoraSox complained and I apologised and corrected the post and made clear which were PandoraSox’s comments. This was removed so I then posted another list without PandoraSox’s comments which has also been removed?
Why?

Speaks volumes that it’s been removed

No mistakes in that last one, interesting people have reported it. Not so comfortable to see it after all

A pp asked for examples, so a list was provided.

@StarlitBeauty "
Because often people who espouse very left leaning views tend to make scornful and suspicious comments about Christians based on their own assumptions."

I think you are wrong about left leaning people in particular. And anyway, while scornful is wrong-suspicious is surely acceptable.

Can't we just ignore posts we consider to be insulting? Or report them and see if MNHQ agree? It's such a waste of time to do otherwise.

You are entitled to your opinion about abortion of course, but if you want to use the bible as back up you might want to read the whole thing.

Thou shalt not kill unless that person had gay sex, swore at their parents, violated the sabbath, committed adultery etc etc at which point if you love god you are required to kill them.

Also of course it's full of god killing men, women and children on a whim.

Remember the Great Flood and the Egyptian Firstborn (mostly children) killed by god in their beds.

Looks like something off a year 6/7 Snapchat

I think it's much more complex than that - it's why I think the whole left/right label should be binned. It just doesn't work any more.

I also think 'Christian' is a much more complex label than you might think - after all, there are very many denominations of Christianity, some very socially and fiscally conservative (think Prosperity Gospel), others socially and fiscally progressive. And most of them think they are the only 'true' Christianity and everyone else is wrong.

So I stay away from it all by being a left leaning atheist and operating on a live and let live ideology for the most part - but I do have very grave concerns when religion of any kind influences politics, because politics should serve a country and ALL its people, not just those who fall into the 'right' kind of believers' camp.

Because often people who espouse very left leaning views tend to make scornful and suspicious comments about Christians based on their own assumptions. Yes they may well align with Jesus in their concern for the poor but they don't see it that way. They also tend to conflate Christianity with whiteness, even though that isn't the case.

The error was corrected but maybe @Barbadossunset could repost with that correction so the thread makes sense

I disagree. Taking responsibility for an inadvertent misrepresentation and correcting the error shows that you are a good faith poster.

Tbh I find that list quite an eyeopener and contrary to claims earlier in the thread that it didn't happen. I won't go on thread like that and hide them, but I think for adults to not see the problem is an issue.

I would expect teens to do better. The need to delete it now also doesn't help.

@PandoraSox I reported the offending post and MNHQ have deleted it

Some of them are offensive. I am not however convinced that they are any worse than what regularly gets slung by right wing mumsnetters. Both sides have people who get heated and don't want to listen to opinions that are different, and that is sad. As you know, I adamantly disagree with you on just about everything, but you do present reasoned arguments in a civil manner. It would be good if everyone could do that. But when people lower themselves to sneering commentary about other people's cats, that does say a great deal about the kind of person they are, and that happens on both sides of the debate.

Any thoughts on the quotes?
