....so that all the people who want to be rude about me, be sarcastic about autism, suggest holding down my DD and jabbing her against my wishes, call me deluded or a liar can form their own club and have meetings AND I CAN HIDE IT.

Other sections are created because they are sensitive and this is now a regular and often nasty subject.

I know I can hide thread but that is always so hard once I have seen them ( and soemtimes people want advice or experiences) but it is just getting so vile now..

Please? Pretty plaese?

oh that would be a good idea (promise not to jump on you FAQ, was applauding your posts in the last last quagmire of a thread )

agree entirely with Wannabe's post (except it was JimJams who jumped on me )

I think this is a great idea but have had no luck so far. It sort of surprises me but doesn't, because it's so political.

Could you start a support thread in health or sn, like the tenners?

It has got odder. And more revolting. Admire your patience Pag.

no it was odd.

I suppose sometimes it is easier to take than others.

I also realise it is easy to take much more notice of one stupid inflamatory poster than to note all the debate going on....
...usually going on

(the latest one is particularly odd. It isn't just me is it?)

latest thread pretty bizarre but tbh if it wasn't for saintlydame, and you, and others who post intelligently on the subject, I think MN would be a poorer place. I understand why you feel that way though.

Just adding my vote...

Although I don't have a hild with autism, and my ds had the mmr, I've seen how nasty the vaccination threads can get, and realistically most people on those threads don't want to be educated, so hiding the topic wouldn't take away anything iyswim.

I do admit however that when I joined mn I was in the "all people who don't vaccinate are irresponsible" camp and said as much on a thread and was summarily jumped on by dinosaur iirc, and after that I read lots of threads and became a little more open-minded over the subject.

But I still maintain that most people don't want to be educated...
