I'm not talking about that. I'm referring to the OP saying she closed her account last time, due to mental health reasons. Jeez.

Maybe nomas struggles? This was my first thought.

Look, you’re at it again. Are you trying to make this a TAAT and continue your beef across threads? Certainly looks that way.

Show quote history

No, I simply don't like the OP accusing anyone who disagrees with her of being antisemetic.

I think that's fair enough, although I can see you don't.

FailedToLaunch · 03/05/2026 21:29

ShamrockShenanigans · 03/05/2026 21:27

Well I've reported her personal attack on nomas who isn't even here to defend herself.

So as always, MNHQ will decide.

I don't know about this history of this poster but absolutely want to express my solidarity with the Jewish community. I also have a Jewish grandparent and am feeling the horror of this very deeply. The silence from most of the UK establishment is shocking to me. As for Zak Polanski, he is a disgraceful anti Semitic grifter. Trevor Phillips handed him his arse on a plate this morning, that needs to be done more regularly

The OP knows this, as she's been repeatedly asked to stop it in the past.

Not that I think the OP has to explain herself in anyway for taking a break, but she actually did tell us why in her initial post. I think that takes bravery and should be met with support, not hostility.

I'm sure the OP's heart is in the right place, but her previous threads/comments did seem to get a lot of Jewish people's backs up.

OP, throwing around the term antisemitism at every perceived slight, waters down its meaning and weakens our language, making it harder to call out genuine racism when it actually occurs.

My apologies @Batties, you’re right it’s wasn’t you, my apologies.

It was @ShamrockShenanigans wanging on about what other posters supposedly said in other threads and derailing my expression of solidarity with Jewish communities throughout the UK that annoyed me.

I think this may be the reason people didn’t like to converse with you and it becomes heated.

By all means show support but learn how to speak with others.

Thank you!

This thread (like all my previous ones) was started in good faith

Tjis country is riddled with antisemitism, no matter what the government says

Excuse me but it certainly was not irrelevant to me.

I was the one accused of being an antisemite by the OP, purely because I think she's out of order for accusing nomas of 'chasing her away', when she's not even here to defend herself.

And this is the way many of the OP's previous threads went.

BlakeCarrington · 03/05/2026 21:14

ShamrockShenanigans · 03/05/2026 21:11

Ok, and you see this is why so many people backs were up last time.

Anyone whose posts you considered to be disagreeing with you (such as you being out of order for publicly accusing a poster who isn't even here), generally resulted in you calling them an antisemite.

Can you not understand how this might come across to Jewish people who actually understand what antisemitism is, because they have to live with it every single day?

So go and take your arguments about “last time” back to the relevant thread and stop derailing this one. Thanks awfully.

I think the difference is whether the action is mainly symbolic or whether it involves an actual personal choice with consequences attached.

Deciding to continue openly supporting or working with someone despite possible backlash is a real life action that could materially affect you, so I wouldn’t call that purely performative.

Posting “I stand with X group” on an anonymous forum isn’t a bad thing but it is mostly symbolic. It doesn’t cost the OP anything or require them to act differently in real life, which is why it’s being described it as performative.
