Time for a new thread. Please can someone c&p the header post? (Am on phone.)

Maybe MN agreed that the OP was transphobic.

Winesalot · 10/01/2021 09:35

Yeah, but Michelle, I doubt those answers would have been forthcoming. Maybe, but considering how quickly the ‘bigot’ got rolled out, not likely.

MichelleofzeResistance · 10/01/2021 09:30

Thought too it was very shallow waters considering we've had the 'you're all friends with the stormers of the capitol building' negative generalisations this week which were happily left to stand. Apparently negative generalisations about women who want rights are fiiiiine.

MichelleofzeResistance · 10/01/2021 09:28

Gone. No explanation as to why or how it broke the guidelines.

Unfortunate, as while very clearly a Sunday morning jolly for someone, there were questions there that could do with facing and answering in this debate.

An image of somebody anyway. Who knows who that might be. Must confess I could not overcome the temptation to do a reverse image search but the result came back telling me it was a flower pot! Grin

Winesalot · 10/01/2021 09:19

And surely it is not good practice to post images of yourself on an anonymous forum?

Winesalot · 10/01/2021 09:08

No gardenbird. After they threw around the bigot card, OP didn’t return. I thought it was rather circumspect from MN poster’s side. It seemed quite obvious it was validation that was needed and only a few got pulled in enough to give it.

It certainly wasn’t going anywhere though. Except eventually on screenshots.

Biscuitsanddoombar · 10/01/2021 09:05

Surprised it’s gone so soon - coukdbt see anything beyond the usual....

gardenbird48 · 10/01/2021 09:04

Yes, I only caught the first page before it went poof. Did it get any better?

Molesmokes · 10/01/2021 09:01

And then it was gone! Wonder what blew it up?

Grin

Well. There was plopping involved too.

Molesmokes · 10/01/2021 08:25

A monkey landed on the bandwagon, showed its arse and farted Grin

Winesalot · 10/01/2021 08:12

At least they were quick with the tropes. And their pointy fingers of shame.

ItsLateHumpty · 10/01/2021 08:10

Yes, a lovely bit of ‘transphobia’ to get us started this morning Wines Brew

Winesalot · 10/01/2021 06:36

Wonderful. An early morning riser to be validated it seems. The bats are a bit fruity this morning as they fly over.

Winesalot · 08/01/2021 13:48

Yes. The pimp’s daughter post was very insightful.

A useful additional link to the C&P header for this thread:

Cheap talk skepticism occurs when someone expresses skepticism in a way that comes at little cost to them, though it frequently comes at a significant cost to others. For example, if I express glib doubt about the personhood of another group of sentient beings, when my personhood is highly unlikely to be questioned, that would be cheap talk skepticism. Furthermore, if I received praise and positive reinforcement for my skeptical signaling, we could see that skepticism as effectively free of cost.
…
cheap talk skepticism externalises a social cost by driving quality skepticism out of the marketplace of ideas. Quality skepticism is research intensive. It’s not easy to do quality skepticism and still produce hot takes across a wide range of topics, which is something that public intellectuals are unfortunately pressured to do in order to stay relevant. Properly justified belief lags behind misinformation in the best of times. Cheap talk skepticism widens that gap by forcing skeptics to correct this sort of internal misinformation alongside all the other forms of cheap talk out there.

I opened my virtual mouth at that WH thread and then gave up. What a lot of hearsay and froth!

SophocIestheFox · 07/01/2021 19:30

That user appears to have flounced now, all posts withdrawn.

nauticant · 07/01/2021 19:22

The Woman's Hour thread is a mess. It seems to have sent up a bat signal which has drawn in a number of new faces to turn up to do their scolding duty. A highlight (well, lowlight really) of which was the use of the term "pimp's daughter".

WagnersFourthSymphony · 06/01/2021 18:48

Oh god oh god what have I just done? Please supply lemon drizzle recipes.

HecatesCats · 06/01/2021 18:24

I was confused by that post as recognised OP, but seemed off

highame · 06/01/2021 13:13

I made a comment on that thread about the op disappearing. Wouldn't normally have said anything but the post was asking for comment and in those cases the op usually dips in. I found the post itself odd. It might have been done in a rush. I didn't check the op name before commenting but someone pointed it out and did recognise, though it could have been a similar name.

ArabellaScott · 06/01/2021 12:54
  • sorry, I was responding to Cara, there.
ArabellaScott · 06/01/2021 12:54

Yep, it must be a hard line to tread. Sounds like best approach is to just flag the thread so they can keep an eye? I might ask in sitestuff, see what their advice is.
