The Angels Forum

JC I don't believe you did. I think looking back with hindsight it may have been better if you had a brand new name but I know you didn't want to be duplicitous. I hope one day we see you back posting here.

that's right Greymisty, and I admit to changing name when seeking advice about something particularly personal in the past (look, not an enlarged testicle OK?). it's good practice, like assuming all your work emails could be read by anyone in the company.

In regards to name changing is so people cant search the poster and find identifying details? I take it just adding numbers at the end of the name so the poster is still recogniseable wouldn't be good enough?

I have screen captured nothing. I would not even know how to do it. I even had to google what it meant.

Now you see why I have stopped posting on both forums.

I only looked for common ground and understanding and found anything but.

Yes to being in the open. The more people see this the better. No drama required, no hyperbole. the facts do the job for us.

#yesdebate

TallulahWaitingInTheRain I totally agree about posting out in the open. By doing that we prove we are not saying things we are accused of. I have no desire to post hidden away. While I keep my identity private due to concerns over TRA, I won't change my name (I like it).

having advocated name changing I must say it confuses the hell out of me when people do it. When you think you might 'recognise' the voice of a poster by another name it's a strange feeling.

I understand why some need to do it though.

reluctant thats not what i read

But i will stop joking now as I appreciate im derailing

I really don't want to look at other forums...i have enough bother keeping up with this one

It's important that anyone who fears being outed is careful not to post anything identifying.

But beyond that, I think the more of this conversation that's conducted in public the better. That way everyone can see what is really being said and by whom. We don't have anything to be ashamed of.

disclaimer my DH does not have an enlarged testicle

Eeerrrrrr

Lets make it the right one grey

Rufus next troll thread I'm on I'll try to casually slip in about your DH's enlarged testicle (should i make it left or right btw?) If it gets screenshot by an MRA or TRA and makes twitter/angel forum....well I'm sticking it on my CV as an accomplishment

Oh they love 'Terfs' "The Group Of Women Who Harass Me More Than Men" - yup, it's TERFs

We should do it together grey and see how far it gets

Rufus I might make up a DH just so I can start a rumour about his enlarged scrotum.

don't post identifying details about your DH's enlarged testicle

He doesn't have one but i might start the rumour

I genuinely don't believe JC screenshot anything and took it over. Yes, she said she was posting here but some members of Angels knew anyway. I haven't seen a screengrab from MN over there (I don't check photo's/images posted so could be wrong, I just don't think i am. I fully accept some might be in the members only area but why bother? MN is a fully open platform.

If we can't stand up to a little opposition then what's the point of us?

You probably will not be surprised that I do not care what you think about this method of shutting down Feminist Forums that has been so successful in the past.

crikey, let's dial down the righteous indignation. people are dicks on the internet. so fucking what?

if you don't stand by what you say, don't post it.

if it's important that you remain anonymous name change frequently and don't post identifying details about your DH's enlarged testicle.

thebewilderness I would suggest that the chances of 1, 10 or 100 visitors from angels stopping you from making full use of your right to free speech on here is nil.

That was surely sarcasm, not a serious post?

Reading more, I think it might be sarcastic.
At least I certainly hope so. The distance between our groups creates so much fear.

Given the number of transgender advocates who have been welcomed to this forum in the name of free speech this pat week or two I do not think it an idle boast or sarcasm.
They harass us for long enough with impunity and the blessing of MNHQ and we will be silenced. That is how they wear people down till they can claim there is no opposition.

I am angry with JC because they knew what would happen when they screen capped here and shared it there and they did it anyway.

That was surely sarcasm, not a serious post?

“We control the politicians, we control the media, taking over Mumsnet should be simple enough”

Says it all really.
