Men pushing in in queues and not social distancing.

Yeah it is mostly men where I live, who are completely oblivious to distancing (reaching across me in supermarket, so close they actually brush past me etc.)

But that is nothing new

Walk down a busy street at any time (before or during virus) and many men will not move out of the way for women

Some men do, but lots won’t

Sorry I meant to add a

Mine was a couple of years ago but I don't hold a grudge, oh no not I.

if you want to know why you were deleted, just, ask HQ. There is no need to speculate. There is no need to decide that bitch is wrong but bitchy is fine.

Or a trend, even.

There also seems to be a thread (not so much on this board, AIBU and coronavirus) of OP is embarrassed or annoyed that thread didn't go the way they were hoping, has thread pulled.

I've had an entire thread that I started deleted because too many posts were deemed to breached guidelines.
That has become an ever more popular method of silencing lately, it seems to me.

Perhaps you are not aware that this is not a pre-moderated forum, but one reliant in reporting - and as such is manipulated, no end, by those with grievances

No I am aware, I've been here for a while.

No personal attacks
No posts that break the law
No trolling, misleading or deliberately inflammatory behaviour
No trollhunting
No spamming

Sometimes its just not in the spirit or goady

But yeah as floral said just ask them

Just, seriously, if you think it is an unfair deletion, talk to MNHQ. They may reinstate.

That is a quite spectacularly silly argument. This thread is bizarre

Rude and dismissive as ever...it would seem.

I'm guessing it was the violation of talk guidelines regarding personal attacks

I didn't make any personal attacks. It is not, generally, my style.

I'm actually incredibly sensitive to the word 'bitch

But " bitchy'.... in the everyday sense of the word - is the most appropriate, and easy to hand, term for nasty, catty, sarcastic, behaviour.

Yeah we know...

I think if one has a post deleted its generally one's own fault for breaking the talk guidelines, rather than the fault of whoever reported it isn't it

Is that what you think is it?

i assume my post was reported because it contained the word 'bitchy'....as a negative and injurious slur? However, ir was used to describe the actual nasty, spiteful behaviour that some people ( in this case females) can be guilty of.

I'm actually incredibly sensitive to the word 'bitch', in general - it provokes strong reactions in me - certainly when used as a generalised hate expression. And certainly when men use it in such a way. But even women using it in such a way provokes strong feelings.

Drag queens ( & certain gay male humour/behaviour) I find, are often the archetype of the negative female shadow...displaying a lot of what is most unpleasant in female behaviour...which is a lot of the reason I dislike drag so much.

I'm guessing it was the violation of talk guidelines regarding personal attacks that have gotten several comments by several people reported and deleted.
It is always interesting on a long wandering thread like this when there is more than one merailer competing for primacy.

I don’t usually report on here...lots of FWR posters seem to want posts to stand

Certainly wouldn’t report someone for saying bitchy

BUT we do have external monitors and it wouldn’t surprise me if somethings get reported purely for stirring purposes

Sorry MNHQ I mistyped

I should have reread

I don’t believe they are Deleted for stirring purposes

I believe they are REPORTED for stirring purposes

And MNHQ quite rightly delete posts they believe break guidelines

You can always ask MNHQ why the post was deleted and appeal if you think they've got it wrong. Always worth a try.

I report "you're a man" almost every time - although not the spectacularly crass one made recently about a poster of 15 years standing

I think the lazy generalisation about Glasgow doesn't deserve reporting. It says quite a lot in its own way- although not necessarily what the poster might think it does.

Nope. I rarely report unless it is an obvious just joined on the wind up troll.

LOL! I love Glasgow. Censorious randoms on the internet, not so much

Your point being? I don't see anyone criticising Glasgow as a place.

I was criticising the hackneyed old trope that Glaswegians are constantly swearing and it's all just fine and normal. That's not my experience of Glasgow.
