god, it just keeps on coming, doesn't it?
it's all so depressingly familiar.
I remember starting a thread a while back (this is to pick up on the point that a PP made, re: denouncing the fuckers, or even anyone random who happens to be reading the thread saying "oi, that's not on!") saying exactly this.
asking the general readers of MN who stumble across these threads to just post saying "hey, that's not nice/right/lay off"
iirc, I had a lot of replies saying "but you can't expect posters to do that"
this is supposed to be a community.
we are all supposed to feel included.
but when a thread turns bad, very few posters do stand up. it tends ot be the same old few, and then of course, that opens us right up to be challenged as "professionally offended"
it is bloody tiring, tbh.
fanjo, sorry you are going. and glitter. and anyone else who has been relentlessly challenged on issues which are nobody else's business, or who have been mocked, scorned, ignored and belittled.
and still mnhq do nothing.
how many times, over the last couple of years, have we had these threads now? asking for help; asking for a consistent policy, asking for anyhting which might stop SN being singled out as an easy target.
and it never materialises.
which says it all, really.
