Picasso, please stay. I identify as a small child and I have abandonment issues. Sad

ResistanceIsNecessary · 23/06/2018 13:32

Please please don't leave. We need you here now more than ever.

I know it's hard. I know it's shit and upsetting and frustrating.

But if our articulate and passionate voices leave then it's a win for the people who are seeking to silence us.

Please stay.

No Picasso you haven't had three strikes. No!

Picassospaintbrush · 23/06/2018 03:51

Signing out from Mumsnet. It has been truly a blast.

Accessible in the other places.

Picassospaintbrush · 23/06/2018 01:50

No need to panic.

Sanity will prevail.

Pratchet · 23/06/2018 01:48

Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that.

BettyFloop · 23/06/2018 01:42

The realisation hasn't sunk in that we can't be shut up. If they ban FWR completely we will redouble our real life campaigning.

Oh yes.

Picassospaintbrush · 23/06/2018 01:40

I stated the truth.

It was reported by someone who wants the truth suppressed because they are both having their strings pulled and are wilfully naive.

I am too old and knowing to be innocent of motives.

BettyFloop · 23/06/2018 01:40

I received a warning although not a strike today for using 'acronym'. MN Have said in certain contexts it's a way to circumnavigate the rules

What are the actual rules? And what are the "certain contexts" for circumnavigating them?

Reading this board is increasingly becoming like going down the rabbit hole....

Pratchet · 23/06/2018 01:33

Picasso did you [acronym] or generalise sweepingly

The realisation hasn't sunk in that we can't be shut up. If they ban FWR completely we will redouble our real life campaigning.

Obsessive activists know that women here are endlessly inventive. We know you are watching and you cannot force us to say the things you want. This isn't North Korea! There are trans advocates who think these rules are nuts. Stop trying to control our language. It's fascistic.

Picassospaintbrush · 23/06/2018 01:27

I am on my last life.

Real life work is ramping up however.

Pratchet · 23/06/2018 01:25

[redacted] also a new one for me but excellent

These don't seem to be rules as much as moods

What the actual.

I like [acronym] it's not offensive to anyone.

BlackeyedSusan · 22/06/2018 22:33

Still here. Not posted much today so hardly surprising.

spontaneousgiventime · 22/06/2018 22:17

BeyondSceptical Honestly don't worry about it. I was pissed off at getting a strike for it but not at you. It was at the fact we weren't told a strike was possible. Now it's removed I'm a happy bunny again.

BeyondSceptical · 22/06/2018 22:13

Acronym was my suggestion, I feel crap if people are getting into trouble for it though :( FYI though HQ, I didn’t suggest it to be goady - I chose it as it was the acronym used in the league of gentlemen...

ACRONYMerf · 22/06/2018 19:16

Sorry, just did it for a laugh. I'll change it.

Manners would've been nice ACRONYMerf, just saying...

ACRONYMerf · 22/06/2018 17:00

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe I'm evil, what can I say.

Picassospaintbrush · 22/06/2018 16:51

" thread where someone repeated the same thing people have been saying for months, and suddenly daim thinks it makes sense.

I did smile at that one. Best avoided.

spontaneousgiventime · 22/06/2018 16:36

Amalfimamma I emailed MNHQ laying out why I thought the strike was unfair. I made it clear while I accepted the first strike I didn't agree with it as it breaches my freedom of speech. Basically I laid out bullet points to why I thought it was unjust. That appeal was denied. I then appealed using the words from my first appeal and the email received in the denial from HQ asking for it to be reconsidered. It was and the strike removed. My post was deleted but I was fine about that.

spontaneousgiventime · 22/06/2018 16:33

LangCleg It appears all we can say is TW or the longer versions and I will not it offends ME!

So, MN is going to have to come up with terms we can use and all be happy.
