Hi,

The Nicola Bulley thread must have been hidden overnight by nightwatch. I wasn't on it at the time to see what happened.
Are we allowed the post back or are we not allowed to discuss it now?

Morning, everyone. Just to clarify for anyone who didn't see it, we did close the thread to new comments last night for a while to give us time to go through the many reports that had come in about it. The thread was reopened a while later and you can post on it again now.

JaneJeffer · 12/02/2023 21:41

There's a moaner on it already. They lie in wait.

At what point do posters get banned?
One of the posters on that thread had about 5 posts deleted and had a few deleted on previous threads too.
I don't think I've ever had a post deleted.

@plumduck it really was.

@plumduck yes because certain posters were attacking people are ND children. Not because of the thread content.

Ah right that's disgusting

plumduck · 12/02/2023 20:48

I thought there was a thread about the case but realise now it has been deleted again

Shewasnthere · 12/02/2023 20:45

@plumduck I'm commenting on a thread about NB, police speculate this is what happened. We are talking about that what's the problem with this now?

plumduck · 12/02/2023 20:43

Why is drowning being discussed here on site stuff?

Shewasnthere · 12/02/2023 20:12

Also, just to add balance. There are drowning stages and it can take someone 10-12 mins to drown to death. But I truly believe the police in the river on the day would have found her or an item of her clothing that day if she was there.

Shewasnthere · 12/02/2023 20:09

@Jourdain11 I get what you're saying but also we have to think about the time scale. Someone averaged it out that in the time scale, NB would have been seen every 10 to 12 minutes. If there was something that was making a noise in trouble, someone else would have heard it too, surly?

Jourdain11 · 12/02/2023 20:04

People can act impulsively if they thing someone/something is in great danger and they don't perceive their action as being a major risk to themselves. I was convinced I heard a woman screaming outside and was all ready to run out the other night. After 30 secs I realised a) it was a fox and b) it wouldn't have been a very sensible course of action.

Shewasnthere · 12/02/2023 19:58

@Jourdain11 from what we've seen of the river. When I first heard of this case, and the river i imagined a fast flowing, deep river. But that's not what has been portrayed at all. It honestly looks like if you slipped down the bank, you wouldn't get enough momento to get to the water and if you did, you would be met with shallow water and you'd just stand back up.

Does anyone else feel like they don't know which news outlet to believe?

That's always the case I think
That's why I try to share from them all, even the crappy mail.

@ofwarren yes, this what I read too.

Exactly. I have kids and we walk on the waterways often. Beyond knowing that it's probably a bad idea to fall in, I have no idea what the risks would be or what you should/shouldn't do if you did.

I wondered if she'd heard something and thought there was a person or animal in trouble. But I have no idea how likely or unlikely danger would be if you fell into that water as a result.

She had apparently rescued a sheep further up the river in the past. Its a possibility.

OP posts:
Shewasnthere · 12/02/2023 19:52

@Jourdain11 I do recall a post from someone that said a family member said she is the type of person that wants to rescue animals.

I too have no idea what I'd do if I got into trouble in water and I am a so called good swimmer

Jourdain11 · 12/02/2023 19:50

Shewasnthere · 12/02/2023 19:45

@Jourdain11 yes you did mention you'd come on thinking you'd find posts such as water safety. So let's keep this factual. It wasn't myself or the main posters spouting BS. I also live near water and worry I don't know enough about the elements

@Jourdain11 you came on to say you were in nice terms unsettled by the thread. I think I quoted and replied to you about 8 times in total. I wouldn't do that if you were posting discussion type things. But like I said I'm happy to move on if you want to move on from thread 7 and discuss factual things. We will forget 8 ever happened because it was absolutely disgusting but not from you.

OnthePisteAgain · 12/02/2023 19:50

@Jourdain11 did not call anyone a weirdo. It was another poster who's name I can't remember. I replied to the post and told them they were OTT.

Jourdain11 · 12/02/2023 19:47

Shewasnthere · 12/02/2023 19:42

@Jourdain11 conveniently your posts from thread 7 have been deleted.
I won't argue about it. I know what I read and why I kept quoting and replying to your posts. But I'm not one to hold a grudge if you want to start again in a different light I'm happy to move on.

I don't think almost any of my posts were deleted and I definitely never called anyone a weirdo. It's not something I ever say. I did say stupid, which was unkind, and I think that post was rightly deleted.
