I live among people who do not follow the One True Path and who tolerate desiccated coconut rather than loathing it as all decent people should. 😭

Bounty, Mrs Crimble's macaroons, and anything else involving dessicated coconut is the work of Satan, unworthy even of being fed to the Foucault-addled grievance gerbils.

Be prepared for your posts under that username to be pulled when the crybully complains again.

Perhaps we should all add tickers to make us look like Netmums and then nobody will know it was us

🤣🤣🤣

British Parenting Forum BPF might be a useful additional 'qualification' or professional membership to add after one's name: S. D. Friend, BSc(Hons), PhD, BPF for example

Are the Bounty forums still a thing?

British parenting forum....

<narrows eyes>

Hey Netmums! There's a bunch of academics in Birmingham calling you transphobic!!!

I wonder if the 2008-10 data was in the stuff they had to delete. The stuff that they nicked the first time! Which still begs the question if they did wrong when they stole the first Lot of data and had to delete why is Eden/Aston getting special treatment for the data she stole?

Not enough ‘transphobia’ between 2008-2010, Aston?

It's all a bit horse and stable door isn't it!

Thanks, darling.

I don't think MNHQ would allow me to use that as a name change either, which is a great shame because it's brilliant.

Dr Nicked MaCorpus? That Doctor?

If you put the old talk title in google, you get lots of results leading back to mumsnet.

If you put the new talk title in google, you get lots of results leading back to mumsnet.

Cos they’re similar. Linguistics?

The PhD title still is the same which doesn’t help if you are trying to avoid association.

Well that changed in the last 10 days. Everyone will know it’s mumsnet. It’s also now from 2010 rather than 2008.

The live tweeting would become extremely funny if one of us turned up and the delegates suddenly realised that the "data subjects" that they think of as lab rats are actually people with strong opinions.

I think the best bet would be to keep an eye on the conference hashtag - I’m betting the conference has a Twitter account - and somebody will likely be live tweeting the session. Unless they forbid it, which they might under the guise that it is ‘sensitive data’ (which would you know, prove our point somewhat)…

Sadly, I can't afford to spring £450 plus train ticket to go (price list) but I'm willing to chuck a trowelful into someone learned's garden if they want to take one for the team board.

And as i haven't said it today. Aston University has no ethics or morals.

Hmmm British parenting forum...let me think.... Nope nothing springs to mind!

For fucks sake. Seriously mumsnet you can't let this go! I mean nobody, nobody reads 'British parenting forum' and goes ooh I wonder if that's Netmums?

They may as well stick a flashing neon sign with the mumsnet web address in the box!

Please can someone go to this and see what Eden actually has to say.

The name has been changed to "British parenting forum".

And look at whose chairing it: Dr IDishIt ButCantTakeIt.

The programme details a presentation on the 26th:

Changes in Linguistic Transphobia on Mumsnet over time, 2008-2023.

For anyone considering making a delegation, there is the Institute for Forensic Blahs conference next week.

Apparently, a certain Aston staff member will dish it out by supervising an entire PhD research project defaming us, not to mention that strangely-timed TwiX banner change, but can't take being mocked by an obvious parody username.

They certainly give the impression of being a gang of hypocritical, po-faced grubs, with less sense of humour than a basilisk. All whilst not having the wit to realise that they've set off Schroedinger's PhD.

The miserable numpties.
