Hello,

I just reported a thread started by 'Dittony' which had a title attacking another poster and provided a link to a blog post.

It looked like a few others had reported it too as they had posted on it.

However in A/C there is another thread with the same title, which when you click on it takes you to a page saying 'error: thread deleted at OP's request'.

The OP however would appear to be someone who posted on the first thread, but not the same person who started it.

So can anyone please clarify what happened here...assuming the second thread was not posted by the same person as the first, (which has now gone) under a namechange?

(really hope not!)

Thank you BIWI. You are very kind.

It's sad when someone feels they can't post what they want, where they want, when they want, why they want, how they want...sorry, what was it I was saying again?

Never mind, I'm sure there will be another one along soon.

I think this is about the 7th farewell post I've read of Bob's.

IT'S ALL VERY UPSETTING.

I have great tits and can whip up a lovely cake.

I am the perfect women.

LRDTheFeministDragon · 15/09/2011 14:20

edd, that is very rude! I feel you should be apologizing to me for that very nasty and unprovoked attack!

It is very hurtful to act like this.

HereBeBolloX · 15/09/2011 14:19

LOL Crackfox are you going to kill Edd with kindness?

Do you have a capacious bosom you could smother him draw him affectionately to?

edd1337 · 15/09/2011 14:18

If it was a joke, fair enough. Forgiven :)

Beachcomber · 15/09/2011 14:18

Oh here we fucking well go again.

I rest my case.

Shall I let you into the well known (by feminists) secret of how you can tell a good 'un from a wrong 'un in feminists circles?

The good 'uns don't get aggressive and personally attacking when feminists stand up to them. They STFU and try to make the massively hard leap in logic that feminist discussion is not about men, should not be taken over by men, does not need to be welcoming to men with nonfeminist opinions. IT ISN'T ALL ABOUT YOU IN FEMINIST SPACES. YOU HAVE THE REST OF THE WORLD FOR THAT.

Easy peasy lemon fucking squeezy.

TheCrackFox · 15/09/2011 14:18

Shame, Bob was one of my favourites.

Please tell me we can keep Ed?

I am sad to see you go, bob, and sad you misunderstood my friendliness.

I hope you will not mind me saying, I hope whatever the emotional issue behind this is, you can find support and help. I sincerely wish you well.

LRDTheFeministDragon · 15/09/2011 14:15

Bob, I have explained my joke and my intentions, which I assure you were transparent. I really feel you are being unfair.

It was only a lighthearted comment. Obviously to you and to edd, there are some kind of conventions I do not know about, that I have transgressed. Obviously you do not want me to post in support of you. But I don't know how else to help you if you will not leave some of the extreme defensiveness behind and try to approach me in a reasonable, calm way.

edd, do you see that I am very upset by all of this? What am I supposed to do to show you and Bob that I am making an effort to understand you? I have tried and tried and all I get is abuse.

ShirelyKnotSHIRE · 15/09/2011 14:11

[GRIN] Herebe, you are creasing me up today!

LRDTheFeministDragon · 15/09/2011 14:10

I still do not understand why a lighthearted joke was not appreciated.

As is ours LRD. Yet when we object to anything we are labelled trolls and abused, then you try to justify your behaviour by saying "we hate the trolls"

LRDTheFeministDragon · 15/09/2011 14:09

Bob, if you are trying to apologize and say you accept my joke was just that, that is appreciated. I think it's much better when we can all be calmer about this. I can see there is some kind of emotional issue I'm not fully aware of with you here, but I can only say how sorry I am that my well-meant post triggered it. If you are happy for me to carry on posting, that is good.

bob, your aggressive attitude and your swearing at me is very unnecessary and not appropriate to calm reasonable debate.

You objected strongly to my post. But it was made with the best intentions, and I will not shut up, although I will not feel like trying to be friendly and understanding towards you again if this is the thanks I get.

theothersparticus · 15/09/2011 14:06

Bob, how is she escalating the lies? LRD is just repeating the same things she said before?

LRDTheFeministDragon · 15/09/2011 14:05

edd, I am really upset you say that, when I have made a joke to try to be inclusive and you and bob have rounded on me and attacked me, trying to make me shut up. This is a forum for discussion and my view is entitled to be heard.
