I can do my on "dox" on Justine..,, be back in a bout three minutes

drummersmum · 21/08/2015 17:17

Sorry if this has been asked before, but did they publish email addresses or just usernames and passwords? And how can one know if one was listed?

Philoslothy · 21/08/2015 17:17

it is very obvious that she is being sarcastic

FuckOffJeffrey · 21/08/2015 17:16

I read the linked article and it is very obviously written in a sarcastic / ironic tone throughout. Did you guys not read the entire thing?

twirlypoo · 21/08/2015 17:13

Ici, that was my thoughts. The lowest of the low to use someone's children against them. My thoughts with Justine and all else affected Thanks

Icimoi · 21/08/2015 17:12

I don't think you can sink much lower than using someone's children to try to attack them. I suspect Jeffrey will regret that one as it will only draw sympathy for Justine.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/08/2015 17:10

well even if it is sarcastic I don't see how it is remotely helpful.
I don't know who she is, but she should know that she will be misquoted, doing more harm than good.

HelenaDove · 21/08/2015 17:10

Im sorry to hear yet someone else has been swatted. My Thanks to you all and Thanks Brew Cake to all MNHQ

Icimoi · 21/08/2015 17:09

Deborah Orr's article is clearly in support of MN. As we write, Jeffrey is feverishly looking up her address and picking up the phone to ring the police.

howtorebuild · 21/08/2015 17:08

The Guardian article is supportive of mn.

LilaMotherFuckingFowler · 21/08/2015 17:07

The article is very tongue in cheek. The "proper married lady" and "anti-male" are references to posts on other forums (I think some were linked yesterday?) discussing this all, where posters were very offended by the mere thought of a woman wanting to a) keep her name and b) be a "ms" Hmm

Pipbin · 21/08/2015 17:07

Reading Elinore's posting history I'm not sure if I have a little more admiration for a 78 year old.
I quote :"I have had over two hundred different sexual partners and a large portion of them have been in love with me or so they said. Amusingly I was once having simultaneous affairs with a husband and wife unbeknownst to either. Both were in love with me."

bittapitta · 21/08/2015 17:06

Jeez Deborah Orr is clearly parodying these "man-child" misogynists. Read the article don't just pick out choice quotes out of context.

Mumwithanipad · 21/08/2015 17:06

He's doxxed Justine. :(
Children's names and their possible schools.
Can't imagine how frightening it must be for you.

RepeatAdNauseum · 21/08/2015 17:05

Don't post how chaotic it would be if they targeted you...they are reading this. It plays right into their hands.

Blah - I'd get that last post deleted as a precaution, stay away from him on Twitter, and report any specific posts you are concerned about.

OpheliaMoo · 21/08/2015 17:05

I did read the full thing thanks which is why I asked Hmm

KitKat1985 · 21/08/2015 17:04

AllThatGlistens I think that was meant sarcastically.

Arkkorox · 21/08/2015 17:04

twirlypoo · 21/08/2015 17:03

Rebecca, please could you look at the post i reported earlier on this thread? It's still there! Thanks!

LurkingHusband · 21/08/2015 17:02

I liked the very sly Stewart Lee reference in the articles comments Smile.

But I am a nerd, of the highest order ...

AllThatGlistensIs · 21/08/2015 17:02

"Like a proper married lady"

Wtf? Yes, because we must all use our husbands names to be of any worth dear. I do hope it is irony, the alternative is just too sad to bear.

I do despair sometimes, until I read something utterly brilliantly witty and cutting from the vipers and my faith in humanity is restored.

andthe · 21/08/2015 17:01

Ha! Loving that Guardian article.

@BlahBlahUsername

Well I'm on the list and my address was listed several times in my inbox because of the christmas card swap thread. I don't care about being 'outed' because I don't think I've ever said anything on here that I wouldn't say IRL. But should be worried about 'Jeffrey' doxing random MNers? I have a son with an anxiety disorder, and another with autism and sensory issues. If trolls got hold of our address they could cause a lot of upset.

Hi Blah,

If you report the posts you are worried about, we will zap them for you pronto.

I think that the journalist is being very sarcastic. I read it as an article that seems to be in support of MNet
