Lil' OJ is being demolished as he tries to defend Bergdorf etc

Look now if you're interested as it will no doubt be deleted soon.

ZIGGY, you make very good points.

This whole thing is an absolute train wreck.

ZIGGY7 · 14/06/2019 11:00

I would absolutely interview the letter signatories. It is chillingly Orwellian.
What further deeply disturbs me, as a teacher, is that in our yearly child safeguarding training, we are told to refer vulnerable students to the NSPCC. Can I raise concerns about this to my Head? My Union has a small, but powerful, LGBTQ section who ban any sort of discussion on this.

Someone tweeted this very amusing parody:

I've seen worse pile ons on threads about helium balloons.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 14/06/2019 10:55

I missed all the action! the forbidden post is an admirably terse and efficient summation of my views on Mr Jones

Tiny ineffectual pseud

Grin you women really know how to write - do you know that?

MockerstheFeManist · 14/06/2019 10:53

Anyone else seeing this letter being passed under the cubicle partitions one by one?

DuMondeB · 14/06/2019 10:51

That list of letter signatories is probably a good place to start the internal investigation.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 14/06/2019 10:50

What sort of office culture must they have where 148 people sign a letter in his support?

A very Orwellian one, I imagine. Toe the party line or be hung out to dry. 2+2=5 Doubleplusgoodthink

Ziggy, I just posted on the other thread about the strangeness of JM’s CV.

NotBadConsidering · 14/06/2019 10:49

A pile on? To someone who isn’t on the thread, isn’t even on Mumsnet and has selectively screenshot bits of this thread to post and disparage us in another place?

Give me strength.

Also, proud to be co-creator of something now nicknamed “That Post” and causing the sad little Monitors so much distress. Wink I would argue it’s adding to the thread by affirming everyone’s feelings about the matter. I guess each individual poster will just have to come up with their own creative original way of explaining how they think Owen Jones is a misogynistic prick. Hope that’s ok MNHQ.

Please be nice everyone.

Owen Jones obviously has a lot riding on the erasure of safeguarding for women and children.

Wankers Rights Are Human RIghts!

Solidarity, Brothers. We must all pull together.

ZebrasAreBras · 14/06/2019 10:46

Owen, have you thought of getting the W added to the LGBTQ+ ?

I mean - who, but you, can stand up for Wankers Rights?

You, Owen, are the chosen one. Wankers Rights Are Human RIghts! Grin

Also HebeMumsnet be interesting to know how many reporting this thread came from FWR regulars and/or established MNers with a legit posting history.

This is a very good question HebeMumsnet.

FloralBunting · 14/06/2019 10:42

My friends, Owen doesn't like it, clearly. We know he's reading and if we just had a thread full of the c&p there wouldn't be room for all the other pointed things we need to say to him and all the interested readers he's sending this way.

Sorry you had to read that paragraph over and over, Owen. We'll do better to describe exactly why you are a terrible, self centred individual who doesn't understand or care about basic safeguarding among other things.

Needmoresleep · 14/06/2019 10:41

Imagines MN mods enjoying a mid-morning coffee, celebrating a constructive few hours, and placing their mugs on doilies made from deleted threads.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 14/06/2019 10:38

Little Owen Jones,
Defending workplace wanking?
Never a good look.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 14/06/2019 10:36

Vs those accounts who have never posted and/or are brand new and/or reporting via twitter/email etc....

(Given all those masses and masses of people who find it so distasteful they tell us all the bloody time how they have hidden the entire board.)

DuMondeB · 14/06/2019 10:31

Aw, Hebe! Can we please just post it once a day, like a morning affirmation (yoga optional)?
We could nominate a different Mumsnetter each time Grin

LangCleg · 14/06/2019 10:31

Okay, Hebe. I promise to be good.

I do promise though.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 14/06/2019 10:30

Posie Parker has obtained screenshots (allegedly) posted by rubberboy that show he was previously reported for unsuitable behaviour to his employers in December.

LOJ really needs to review his wank circle of friends more closely.

how can you pile on to someone who isn't on the thread, @HebeMumsnet?

HebeMumsnet · 14/06/2019 10:25

Morning, everyone.

We just wanted to pop in and try and get this thread back on track.

We can see there is understandably huge strength of feeling on this issue but the repeated posting isn't really on. It's becoming a bit of a pile-on now and also we just feel it's not adding anything to the thread. We'd like to draw a line under it now and get back to discussion. There's plenty more to discuss, after all.

Just to be transparent, we wanted to let you know that we're going to delete any further cut and pastes of That Post and if it becomes too much of a doily we'll have to take the whole thread down.

As always, it's our preference to keep threads going and keep things civil wherever possible, and we're sure you'll all want to as well.

Thanks for your help.
