What was 'the episode'??!

LadyRabbit · 07/10/2013 15:27

Reading another thread on here about the feminism boards and people keep mentioning 'an episode' or 'issue' that changed the board (apparently a lot). I used to read those boards a lot when I had more time.

I'm a bit confused and curious as to what happened.
Can someone please explain? I can't figure it out on the actual thread and it is Monday and my brain is going very slowly indeed.

Thanking you.

Yes it's the warp factor

GerdaLovesLili · 19/11/2017 14:03

Not anymore. My head hurts. timetravel makes me dizzy.

Battleax · 19/11/2017 14:00

Are you quite sure about that?

GerdaLovesLili · 19/11/2017 13:13

Well, were I come from Sat 18-Nov-17 00:32:22 is after at 18-Nov-17 22:54:06. Dunno about everyone else.

What's more interesting is that the timestamp of SparklingSanpro's post is later than the one following it.

Battleax · 18/11/2017 22:54

Interesting thread to bump

See, the trouble with acronyms like MRA is that someone like me, who's seen the damage that can be done by one bloody minded ex-partner to a very dear relative, can very easily been turned online into some sort of 'apologist for bastard blokes who left some poor woman literally holding the baby'. I've seen my adopted brother bend over backward to offer support to my ex SIL and their child, and been kicked in the balls at regular intervals, because she's extremely cross about SOMETHING but she won't say what. I've been hanging out on here for long enough to know that sometimes - in fact most of the time - it's more complicated than face evidence, but if she'd only, PLEASE, start the ball rolling, she and dbro could maybe sort something out? Meanwhile poor niece is the innocent victim!

Honeydragon I could use you over on my Acronyms thread in Site Stuff!!

I have learnt so much this evening. Now I must clear up dog vomit and retire for the night. Thanks for illuminating me further and I hope I didn't offend anybody by bringing up old threads that I wasn't aware of.

Men's Rights Activists.

meditrina · 07/10/2013 21:25

No, you're thinking of MRSA

MRA= Men's Rights Actvists.

(Apparently I'm one... )

HoneyDragon · 07/10/2013 21:25

Mens Rights Activist

I'm fire with the decoding tonight

Um, what's an MRA? It's not a disease is it?

Presumably those that stamped their feet over "Moldies" would have been fine if THEIR invite hadn't got lost in the post?

Valhalla was a caring and fab poster who was provoked beyond endurance by the unrivalled twatishness of one particular poster who had been pissing us all off all over MN not just The Dog House. Only this time her immature and selfish behaviour was probably going to cost one or more animals their lives.

HoneyDragon · 07/10/2013 20:21

It's not exactly far for me is it

Ooooh. Maybe I was an experiment from there? That's why I'm still here so they can monitor me.

It certainly explains why my mum and dad often look perplexed around me and mutter "where the fuck did we get you from?"

I always knew I was destined for greatness...

LtEveDallas · 07/10/2013 20:16

Quick, get her to Bletchley

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 07/10/2013 20:16

I reckon we need to update the acronyms list anyways.

GF - Goady Fucker
IPOAT - insane people etc
ODFOD - oh do fuck off, dear

There are quite a few more that I forget right now that I think should be on there.

HoneyDragon · 07/10/2013 20:09

Get me. I'm a biological Enigma machine.

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 07/10/2013 20:07

Honey, its in code, cant you tell, you're just super clever and have cracked it

HoneyDragon · 07/10/2013 20:07

It's not cryptic, it is an acronym for Goady Fucker.

BlingBang · 07/10/2013 20:06

So what are GF's? All so cryptic.

scaevola · 07/10/2013 20:04

There have definitely been long standing (presumably female) MNetters who were rounded on. Not just goady people with new usernames and no posting history. But I haven't seen that for a while.

Were there really bannings? I thought it was a series of flounces. (Though perhaps we don't need to know).

BlingBang · 07/10/2013 20:00

Suppose that depends what you consider MRA's to be? I've seen accusations of posters being called MRA's for all kinds of comments or opinions.
