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

shhhh TWDP - they don't come in gangs and they take offence if you say that.

We're all positive it was entirely coincidental

Well said onebat - and you too TDWP.

How strange that moldies don't discuss mumsnet yet all come here in gangs and cause rows.

Why not just fuck the fuck off entirely?

I'm with Onebat, too. And Mrs Ruffallo who made a similar (and witty) point among similar lines earlier.

All posters are created equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Onebat - I am not a monkey, and you are not a bat in any number. We are not frauds. Rev has a perfect right to call her self what she wants. If she chooses to ajust the details a little in order to protect her anonymity, then that is her perogative.

I don;t know why MN would have even risen to the bait.

If that was the case, its better form to say that you don't appreciate arguments that attempt to influcnce from such blatant emotionalism. You don't call the person a fraud. FFS.

Can I also repeat what many others have said - that I am extremely disappointed that MNHQ appear to be responding to this with such moral cowardice.

They haven't yet corrected their assertion that she is 'not a reverend, she's a deacon' have they? Which implies that the Rev has been posting under false pretenses.

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.)

Jesus, Enid. Your attitude is revolting.

If, as you admit, have no idea whether people are or arne't whom they claim to be, why could you POSSIBLY feel justified in accusing them?

"I didn't believe she had family in the holocaust. I thought she was using that as a way of strengthening her argument." And you don't see that unless you have proof, this is a VERY serious accusation to make recklessly? PPH was attempting to throw her legal weight around earlier - I wonder whether she could advise - was the Rev slandered/libelled?

Even someone who has had little or no interaction with culture over the last half of the 20th century should be aware that the loss of relatives in Auschwitz/elsewhere during the HOlocaust is generally considered to be a Big Deal. They don\t need to be your actual Mum or Dad for it to have damaged your family - d'you see?

And the fact that you accuse the Rev of 'band-wagon jumping' on the MOldie threads only shows that you have no idea how much the principle of the thing angered many moderate people, whether or not they had friends there (which I believe she does iirc).

Have the moudies hired Max Clifford?

Can they please stop wafting their stale farts over MN whenever they are bored?

Goodness, I think my sense of humour must have failed

Quite right Donnie.

Only Bubble had contributed to the discussion about Gaza.

But I guess it's easier to troll-hunt than to explain why bombing schools is a Good Idea.

ARF at ENID.
sorry but that sentence is hilarious.
ONLY ON MN

Enid

WTF is going on?

Bubble99 had at least been involved in all the Gaza threads from the off.

what I find unpalatable is how people who express absolutely no interest whatsoever in the actual thread topic ( civilians getting shelled in Gaza) can have the nerve to suddenly appear on that thread for the sole purpose of humiliating and discrediting the person who started the thread in the first place and has helped encourage good debate and discussion among a great many posters. It was shit-stirring, end of. Don't pretend otherwise .At no time did either ppp or enid even obliquely refer to the subject matter of the thread.

heartwarming and heartfelt

Dear Rev,

I am sorry for doubting that your family died in the Holocaust and that you are not a Rev. And that you are your dh.

Love,

Enid

MrEniddo - it is Mumsnet etiquette to apologise if you are wrong. In this case, you were not only wrong but also very unkind.

I think you should apologise.

MNHQ have confirmed that Rev is who she says she is

So unless you are saying MNHQ are not who they say they are? then Rev desrves an apology dont you?

Ah, the snotty condescension is back.

Now that's something I haven't been missing recently.

Well I hope no one is banned. We are all supposed to be big enough to sort this out by dialogue.

If someone has been insulting, it's up to them to apologise. If they don't, well we have the measure of them don't we?

lol swedes (I am presuming that is a joke although obv it may not be as you don't know me from adam)

Yes it was stupid. No I won't apologise as I do not have the first clue if anyone on this site is who they say they are or whether anything they say is actually the truth.

You could all be the same person for all I know.

But I thought I would at least be honest rather than full of self-righteous indignation - an emotion which seems to characterise this site nowadays.
