Dear MNHQ, I didn't see all the problems kick off over poor Revjustabout...

but I would be grateful if you could tell me that you have at least given serious consideration to banning the posters who were harrassing her.

Thank you.

I hope this doesn't become a moldies vs mn thing. It's about one person in particular coming onto MN to make repeated personal attacks on someone's integrity in the middle of an interesting discussion thread.

I am very annoyed that the result of this seems to have been that the person who was attacked has been forced to prove their identity, and that it has impacted their RL with person/s unknown making enquiries about them, and that the person who made the attacks has popped back to the protection of a private forum.

I comletely agree that "I wish that they had had the courage to post a short message saying that the rev is a rev in real life, that she has every right to call herself so, that any further attempts to disrupt her REAL FAMILY LIFE would result in instant banning (and all info held by MNHQ being happily handed over to the police in the event of a police investigation.)"

Fio, you are mistaken. If three Moldies undertake what very much appears to be concerted attempt to undermine one entirely unobjectionable MN poster, then it's rather illogical to complain that they are being bullied when they are heavily criticized for doing so.

You might also reasonably expect there to be some collateral criticism of the private site whence these posters descended. Since it is private.

WilfSell · 20/01/2009 16:19

fiofio, the 'collective behaviour' on these threads is responding to some fairly serious provocation. And from what I can tell of this latest explosion, the provocation is some spirited defence of someone who has a lot of credibility, who many posters here have had personal contact with, who isn't doing anything wrong, who may or may not have had some unwanted and unpleasant RL contact, who MNHQ have defended to some extent (though some would like stronger defence) and who have been subject to considerable attacks by particular posters.

I don't think this spirited collective defence is at all 'gang like'.

daftpunk · 20/01/2009 16:19

yes but fiofio...we didn't all fuck off to a new site did we? all moldies should stay on that new site for the good of everyone....it will never work you comimg back...i was talking with someone a few days ago...got 3 emails asking me wtf i was doing talking to a known moldie?

TotalChaos · 20/01/2009 16:19

agree with St. George. There are supposedly 100+ mouldies. And last time I counted PPH + enid + bubble only make 3. And I haven't a clue whether bubble is mouldie or not. Hardly a mouldie conspiracy.

Swedes · 20/01/2009 16:19

FioFio - Isn't it a bit odd to be FioFio for Moldies defence issues and someone else for other times. Unless of course you are posting about your farting fanny.

I have now stopped roasting and am feeling more theological.

I've read the thread in full now, or as full as it is possible to do with all the deletions.

I haven't accused any particular poster of anything. I certainly have zero interest in whether anyone involved is or is not a Moldie. In fact it never occurred to me that this was a Moldie issue. Should have known I suppose.

My only point was that I would like to know (as KerryMum says particularly baring in mind the hoo haa over Cod's real life troubles) that if any posters on this thread have been involved in real life harrassment of another poster, they will not continue to enjoy the liberty of posting on this site.

I entirely accept Justine's point that it would have been better if I had emailed her rather than starting a thread.

But at least it gave Aitch an opportunity to have a go at me as usual.

Why do you post under a different name?

I'd like to say that I'm not a strange orange colour nor a piece of ancient tree sap. But Rev really is a real Rev. That's what a Deacon is.

Actually ROLF is pretty good, I'll join you in using it.

Can we just post this every 5 or so posts on every thread about this matter.

It seems to be the most sensible thing said anywhere about it.

If a Deacon cannot call themselves "revsomething", then presumably its offlimits for anyone to have a canonical name and they will now all be banned. Presumably its even worse for a non-vicar to be holding themselves out to be one?

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 20/01/2009 16:11

You may, and for special occasions there's fuck the fucking fuck off

Piffle · 20/01/2009 16:10

In have been involved in all the Gaza threads and they might have been the only threads I was involved in over that time on here. I however was not there when it kicked off.
Thankfully.

pagwatch · 20/01/2009 16:10

farkin Nora - why do I always ROLF instead of ROFLing.
God I'm a twat
