Original poster

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

Because to me MN has always come off much more right / conservative.

So, if you can point out what makes it so leftist.

But it is so, so easy to report your own post and ask to have it withdrawn. Not doing that shows a lack of good faith.

You haven't corrected your mistake as the false posts are still there. Correcting your mistake would be getting them deleted.

They’re not ‘false posts’ - they are other comments taken from the Starmer thread. For the hundredth time I’ve made it quite clear they are not by you.

Barbadossunset · 03/11/2024 13:49

They are, but not quite as unpleasant as maliciously attributing them to the wrong poster.

I have corrected my mistake and apologised. I think most people reading this thread are clear that PandoraSox did not write all the comments.

Barbadossunset · 03/11/2024 13:53

It’s interesting some people can’t see it still.

They can - it’s a way of deflecting the fact that posters wrote insulting comments which PandoraSox denied.
”Can you link to said insults to individuals? Posters on that thread don't always agree with each other, yet don't insult each other”

EasternStandard · 03/11/2024 13:50

The pp has apologised and reposted. Nothing ‘malicious’

@Barbadossunset was asked what she meant and provided the quotes

PandoraSox does the fact you’re so anxious not to be held responsible for the other comments I posted mean that you agree they are unpleasant?

It's quite bizarre you, and others, are so upset that posters are insulting other posters, but have no issues doing that.

Look, do you really expect me to engage with you at this point after what you have done to misrepresent me?

Ask MNHQ to delete your misleading posts. Link to or screenshot the posts you want to discuss and then I am happy to comment.

I didn't post the insults @Barbadossunset has attributed to me.

Show quote history

We can see you've said that.

What are your thoughts on the rest of the quotes?

Is it 'challenging' the content of those posts or worse?

PandoraSox · 03/11/2024 13:37

EasternStandard · 03/11/2024 13:35

That has been corrected.

No need to remove the thread, you requested those quotes and the pp provided them, and they really do evidence the point they were making.

Show quote history

I don't want the thread removed. I do want the posts accusing me of saying things I didn't removed.

Shakeoffyourchains · 03/11/2024 13:37

Since we're on the subject of bullying and harassment, what do you call it when someone deliberately misrepresents another poster’s responses to make them look worse, and, when confronted, refuses to retract that post?

PandoraSox · 03/11/2024 13:36

Aduvetday · 03/11/2024 13:33

That is because when you post those insults which we all know happen - they can say waaah - thread pulled and continue to deny the ganging up which happens on these boards.

I’ve apologised and rewritten the post. Why do you keep repeating yourself?
Anyway, any views on the insults from the other posters?

But tbh this thread is turning into a TAAT now, and risks being pulled by MNHQ.

Well. It has now been proved beyond all doubt that they do.

Barbadossunset · 03/11/2024 13:25

Yep. I said those things, but I didn't say the other things you accused me of earlier.

I never accused you of saying all those things. I was answering this comment by you;
Can you link to said insults to individuals? Posters on that thread don't always agree with each other, yet don't insult each other.

You said ‘posters’ so I presumed you meant insults from various posters on the threads - which is what I posted - not just from you.

You cut and pasted random paragraphs in a very misleading way.

Links to the posts concerned would be better if you can't manage screenshots. But tbh this thread is turning into a TAAT now, and risks being pulled by MNHQ.

Well this from earlier got kiboshed by @Barbadossunset list of quotes

ThroughThickAndThin01 · Yesterday 18:26
Just look at the long running threads in Chat - Starmer no x threads! They won’t hear a word against Labour, nor a word pro Conservatives.

pointythings · Yesterday 21:03You're completely wrong about that - those threads have a group of posters who are very diverse politically, and they include people who have voted all across the political spectrum in their lives

PandoraSox · 03/11/2024 13:23

Barbadossunset · 03/11/2024 13:19

PandoraSox you’ll have to make do with cut and paste. However if you don’t believe me that you wrote these things then you’re welcome to go back to the thread and posts. They’re dated and times so should be easy to find.

These are the only comments by PandoraSox. None of the other comments posted were written by her.

PandoraSox · 27/08/2024 11:11
I see the Tory rabble rousers are back from their hols and busy getting Tory MN knickers in a twist

PandoraSox · 30/08/2024 11:40
Well you did sound somewhat pompous, so no surprise people are picking you up on it!

PandoraSox · 03/09/2024 10:33
The Tory bots are scaremongering again

I don't see any terrible insults? "Somewhat pompous" is fairly mild? Nothing else I have said is insulting or aimed at any individual.
