So now Mumsnet deletes posts on the grounds that they're offensive to people with religious beliefs and MRA's

On the circumcision thread a post of mine was deleted and when I asked mumsnet why, this was the response:

"While it is true that posts we don't tend to delete posts on the grounds of being in poor taste because it would be really hard to draw the line; we do as in this case remove posts that, in our judgement, are simply beyond the pale.

Your post was reported to us and tbh we felt that * (an offensive acronym for MRA's) was beyond the pale tbh, especially when added to the rest of your post which was also incredibly offensive to anyone with religious beliefs."

So basically, we are not allowed to post things which offend people's religious beliefs in conjunction with offending MRA's.

Just thought I'd let you all know. I'm not even annoyed about this, after last week's targeting I think it's obvious that MN really don't want radical feminism represented here.

DrLRD and her Amazing Library Fines.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 18/02/2013 01:21

You wouldn't laugh if you'd seen them. Blush

runningforthebusinheels · 18/02/2013 01:20

at the library fines Smile

LRDtheFeministDragon · 18/02/2013 01:14

I haven't graduated from my master's yet. I still owe them my library fines. I think it will seem real enough.

runningforthebusinheels · 18/02/2013 01:12

Oh, you have to go graduation LRD - it won't seem real otherwise.

Will it be DrLRD...?

LRDtheFeministDragon · 18/02/2013 01:05

Impressive, running. Grin

I'm not going to my graduation. I can't imagine anything worse. I'll change my MN name to Dr though.

You'll be like the cat that got the cream when you finish that thesis, LRD. Smile

LineRunner · 18/02/2013 01:02

We're all coming to your graduation, LRD. Whether you like it or not.

LineRunner · 18/02/2013 01:01

Anyway, I can see Fastidia's POV.

Don't look for a pun. I ran out.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 18/02/2013 01:00

You know, I am going to have to finish that bloody thesis just so that I can stop you saying that! Grin

Night fastidia.

LineRunner · 18/02/2013 00:59

This is usually the bit where I say, 'LRD, don't you have a thesis to finish?' but that would be queening it.

runningforthebusinheels · 18/02/2013 00:58

This may make the goaders paws for thought though....

FastidiaBlueberry · 18/02/2013 00:58

LOL you two are making me larf.

But it's terribly late and I need a cat-nap soon...

Stop littering up the thread with silly puns, now.

runningforthebusinheels · 18/02/2013 00:54

You should be feline vindicated, OP Grin

LineRunner · 18/02/2013 00:53

I have just read the thread.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 18/02/2013 00:53

It's like you're David Attenborough narrating there.
