MNHQ Deletion Policy

Ah, the game's afoot ... hm... maybe Canada Waters down women's rights ?

Never stop posting the rules, though, thebewilderness. Your rules are the absolute bestest thing about FWR.

Lang: If you're named directly by a goady post or poster, I would ignore it at the moment.

I am a little slow but I get there. Sometimes. I am such a sucker for a troll it is embarrassing.

I thought it was just the AIBU people bringing a different style with them to FWR. Now I see that you are exactly right.

I'll see you one tuck and raise you a baseball bat to Seven Cisters

Pfft.

You think that's clever? I'm calling in some chips and performing a Reverse Science Denial that will send me past you, through the Mud(dy)chute and on to Roding Valley.

Hmm, Russell Square. Scratches PCOS beard in suitably neutrois fashion.

Well, if we're invoking the Patreon Begging Bowl manoeuvre, I think Rayners Lane may then unfortunately send me straight back to Suck-My-Cockfosters. Bugger.

I'm going to invoke the rarely-used Owen Jones gambit and go from Cockfosters to Westminster via Him, Hers, Xir.

I can't allow that, I'm afraid. There's a clause in the Patreon Begging Bowl manoeuvre that would send you straight to Rayners Lane and advance me to Russell Square.

They've been targeting specific posters for a while, trying to pick off the most influential voices.

I think so too. If you're named directly by a goady post or poster, I would ignore it at the moment. If it's just a scattergun approach, reply as per.

Anyone for a game of Mornington Crescent?

Wow Fermats, that's a nail, hammer, bang!

There is definitely some moderation rules being put into place that users just don't have a clue about. It's like some perverse 'secret word' game of something.

Trans women face discrimination because of their biology.

Trans women share neither my biology nor my discrimination nor that of other natal women.

Meanwhile we are still talking and still laughing and still exposing the cruelty of the ideology.

To go all Georgette Heuer, a rather lowering thought has just struck me.

This is win-win for Mumsnet in terms of spinning the situation. Ordinary MNers concerns hit the headlines - the Times no less. Any publicity is good publicity. Justine gives freedom of speech interview. Even better publicity. Behind the scenes MN tighten up the moderation policy (but apply it in an alarmingly arbitrary way, keeping us on our toes in a Kafkaesque hell). They come up smelling of roses while the most outspoken voices get silenced.

You've got to admit, as a display of how to spin one's PR machine, it's genius.

Trust in Justine is what I say. Look at it this way, no one ever reverts from peak transing.

Will await new talk guidelines with interest.

Also agree with Elletorro

You're a peach, Poo!

I think the breach and the twitter doxxing has driven women away. I ran into a few of them at Gender Critical Reddit.
There is nothing they can do to me so I do not care, but I care very much for those who can be harmed and have left this place in fear of what careless management has caused and could cause.

While it is annoying and frustrating to deal with, I don't think they have quite realized that it is only backfiring. There was a new thread on here today with someone new asking for explanations. It was quite amazing to see all these new posters speaking up. There was also a thread about staying with MN, and again new posters and lurkers were speaking up.

The goady-ness is just pissing more people off rather than having them jump on the bandwagon.

And haha on the TRAs, bewilderness could be an alien from the back of Bork and FWR would still love her. She's got our backs, we've got hers

They know I am a sucker for a troll because I have said it and demonstrated it so many times, I suppose.
Thank you for your kind words.
I thought at first they were just some of the mean women from AIBU come to DARVO us into being nice to the men folx.

Poe's law gets me every time.
"Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

They do if they are oppressed and discriminated against because of their sex - or gender for that matter.

Not talking about gender identity. Try sticking to the point. They do not face sex based oppression grounded in female biological reality and expectations around that.

There seems to be a common thread over the last couple of days. It looks like they are targeting thebewilderness, and trying their hardest to piss her off, so she does something worthly of banning.

They know she has an impact on other posters. I know for me personally she's taught me (a huge amount) about feminism, to recognize insincerity, and about the MRA/TRA agendas. I've seen other posters state the same.

This isn't random, they are targeting her for the very fact that she is important to FWR. When it doesn't work they will go after other intelligent and informative posters. Have to admit that their tactics are rather sad. A 'man', really, did they think all the posters would recoil in horror from bewilder? All a bit juvenile and pathetic really.

I don’t know

I might have been critical of mumsnet as well.

I think I said it was GCSE level critical thinking and clearly an exercise in compare and contrast.

Might have been a bit rude. But only about people being hard of thinking. Not about identity

It depends on the judgment of the mods I suppose so it is a range of responses that defy being understood as consistent in any way because they cannot be.
That is what I tell myself when I an not having a snark fest at their expense.
