Just that!

I like Posie, she speaks loudly and from her heart. She’s honest, if blunt. Just like Julie Birchall (who I also like) I do not agree with her 100%. But I want to listen to what she says.

I won't let the rudeness get in the way of my long-time lurking on these boards, which seem to be where all the most intelligent discussions happen on MN.

I don't post, but I do read, and am very grateful for various posters who elucidate and articulate all sorts of thoughts much better than I can (BovaryX, Goosefoot, queenofknives, the much missed LangCleg...)

The posts about posie are always so contentious. I’m a stickerer’ and have attended a couple of posies events. I think she does a brilliant job in so many ways.
I posted on a thread about her a while back now, saying how great she was but disagreeing with one thing she said.
Well.
It was immediate and rather unpleasant. A group of very unpleasant posters pulled me apart on thread >. Apparently I’m ‘no supporter of women’ Hmm

It’s very rare that any other feminist campaigners illicit such a strong and angry response.

I think it’s very divisive, nobody on this board or anywhere else is going to police my opinions or stop me voicing them. Why some would want to makes them no better than the people we’re pushing against.

A thread about Posie?

Expect the usual - mithering about her "methods" and how she is all loved-up with right wing terrorists blah, blah...

Can we do a bingo card, please, please?

OhHolyJesus, I just checked and Standing for Women is open, with posts from yesterday. I haven't checked if Kellie-Jay herself has posted, though.

OhHolyJesus · 19/10/2020 07:42

The Standing for Women FB is on a temporary ban I think.

No one wants Posie to speak so you've got to think to yourself what are they so afraid of?

It was a long time ago OP. It hasn't stopped PP and it never will. Many other women have been banned here too. PP is one of many.

Malahaha · 19/10/2020 06:52

Posie posts in the Facebook group Standing for Women under her real name.

NiceGerbil · 19/10/2020 00:24

She was banned years ago!

It is a permanent ban.

HTH.

Rather a snippy response from some, to a perfectly innocent question

Yes, its very tedious. There are about 2 or 3 posters who think it is their job to act as gatekeepers, and do more harm than good when new posters are greeted with hostile comments.

And its like they sit there waiting to be the first on the thread. Which implies they dont have a live and / or they think the rest of us are stupid.

Far better if they think a thread is dubious to just ignore it. If it is a troll, most will catch on. And all that means is time wasted.

But that is nothing compared to making new posters feel unwelcome or not up to scratch. And then dont come back.

If you are new to a community how else are you meant to learn about it other than by asking questions?

I think OP's question is totally valid. All anyone needs to say is yes or no.

Or suggest contact MNHQ.

She’s on YouTube her latest is about the targeting of a woman in Brighton who said no to putting up a poster from a trans person asking for money for top surgery as it was against her beliefs. This woman makes vegan meals and the profits go to help starving children.

TBHno · 18/10/2020 23:23

From what I know, Posie has moved passed Mumsnet. I think She has said that she wouldn't return even if she could.

I asked because my brother told me she'd been banned, but I'd not been aware of it (haven't followed these boards for very long) and told him that surely it would only have been temporary if so, cos FWR would have been up in arms... but then thought I'd better check.

Unbelievable.

Still banned. From what I remember her posts were 90% toxic 10% ninja.

HJ372 · 18/10/2020 22:12

Oh ok then sorry😄 just a coincidence!

I joined in July to post about Harrogate Turkish baths trying to do away with single sex sessions.
I'm in North Yorkshire.

HJ372 · 18/10/2020 21:42

No I'm not the OP. I thought troll hunting was off limits on 'ere?

Missandra · 18/10/2020 21:32

Name change from HBGKC to HJ372??

Is there a time limit on people being banned? Do they get reinstated after a while?
