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.

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.

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

Sorry, Zonder not Zinder.

PandoraSox I’ve quoted you on my post. The others aren’t from you.

You have also added paragraphs to the first post of mine you quoted and accused me of saying things I didn't.

I am so pissed off. I am happy to stand by what I have posted, even when I have been a bit strident. But to lie about what I have said is just not on.

What's wrong with 'intellectually elitist' (your term)? Presumably, by the common definition, that means people who know more? Correct me if i'm wrong!

Show quote history

No. Thats not what it means. It means someone who believes in the superiority of a subset who align with their views. They may or may not be knowledgeable, but they believe they are and take pride in that, attributing it to the values that they themselves have, rather than acknowledging privilege. They do not seek to learn from others, but try to control or oppress them.

TBH - most of those links are derails.

For some reason

Any thoughts on @Barbadossunset list of quotes?

Can you see that isn't 'challenging' the content of the posts yet?

I think it would be great if posters reacted to the mentioned pp posts with links and information without mockery, insults and accusations of being a bot or HQ

We'll see if people change

Yes I can. They are being attributed to me and I did not post them.

I'm glad this is your reaction actually as it's pretty terrible seeing it altogether, when people can no longer say it doesn't happen

Cut and paste is fine

Show quote history

No it isn't because as demonstrated, a cut and paste can be manipulated.

When I look at that and posts saying they can't see it I actually think of children and how they behave on SM

We would want dc to do better than that wouldn't we?

Yep.

Ok I’ll redo it and make sure I attribute the correct quotes to you.
If you want to ask hq to delete my original post then go ahead.

They won’t because they are part of the issue - bullying people on the site. Saying their bullying is challenging.

Not good enough. Can you ask MNHQ to delete your posts please.

Why?

Because you have attributed several posts to me that I did not make. I suggest it is better for you to ask MNHQ to delete those posts. You can then post screen shots of the posts you want to highlight.

Can people who said they 'couldn't see it' and it was just 'challenging' see the tone and content of those attacks is a lot more than that

I don't think I've seen that pp post anything other than measured stuff (in tone even if people disagree), and certainly not that kind of thing. Why they deserve that in response idk
