It will be interesting to see which thread one regular who pops up from time to time will be the first they post on. Obviously there are at least two current ones they will have to avoid.... mind you, seems they will be hugely busy.

Grin @MichelleofzeResistance and also Shock (I lead a sheltered life nowadays ...)

MichelleofzeResistance · 13/02/2021 10:29

Yes, there really are some that by bitter experience it's pointless trying to have a conversation with. They don't need any help with their kleenex.

Me too HermitLife, it is a shame. I tend to scroll on by most of the time. I don’t have much time and there are a couple of posters I don’t waste it on. They have shown that they have nothing to contribute and can’t or won’t answer questions put to them. Also they don’t seem to actually read what others have posted.

Apols for engaging! I just can't bear illogicality. And the twisted misogyny of thinking that any defence of women's legal sex-based rights is actually an attack on the T. I'm not really interested in T-people. I'm interested in women - their rights and lives.

Its hard isn't it. it would be nice to be able to mute certain posters wouldn't it?

I find it so frustrating, its like playing pigeon chess. They have absolutely no interest in the subject of the thread just want to disrupt with their self absorbed misogynistic trolling. Whenever I see certain posters on a thread I think "Ah thats it another thread ruined"

I liked the summary dismissal of the disrupters. Wise, wise women of FWR.

I'd better brush off my copy. I shall take it to bed with a large hot toddy.

SophocIestheFox · 12/02/2021 22:23

Ah yes, chapter 12, Whataboutery. That’s the one I needed.

MichelleofzeResistance · 12/02/2021 19:32

I am so enjoying the complete disinterest in disruption. It's like a breath of fresh air. Wine

testingmitb · 12/02/2021 15:41

It's been exhilarating on that thread. I liked the summary dismissal of the disrupters. Wise, wise women of FWR.

OwBist · 12/02/2021 15:34

Ooo, I've been following the live court case on here today, and am very pleased to see that all whataboutery from potential community disruptors has been refuted in the first instance and roundly ignored subsequently. Also very grateful for the explanations by those in the know. Smile

picklemewalnuts · 12/02/2021 11:39

Infuriating.

OldCrone · 12/02/2021 10:15

Another thread gone overnight. A mother asking for advice regarding something her child was being taught at school. The last post from her said that she appreciated all the advice and information and was going to read it all again in the morning. She won't be able to now.

prisencolinensinainciusol2 · 12/02/2021 09:31

OwBist - thanks for that link, I loved it.

picklemewalnuts · 12/02/2021 08:06

It's great! Xbox, pampers, Iceland's (the country) contribution was fab.

You all seen the chit chat on weetabix and heinz beans. On Twitter

Best ever. Even GCHQ joined in

Sainsbury’s were told they had no authority and were kicked

I wish I could link it here Lang would have loved it

ArabellaScott · 11/02/2021 23:26

I think MN FWR merits a better class of knob

agree. Can get quite irritated by the piss poor standard of trolls these days.

MaudTheInvincible · 11/02/2021 23:05

We're getting some weird community disruptor types these days, like buzzy fecking flies posting nonsense and occasionally veering into rudeness. Honestly, I think MN FWR merits a better class of knob Hmm

EyesOpening · 11/02/2021 20:42

”(Which I guess is the point - all part of the ongoing erasure of women and any admission ever that sex might be the basis on which we're discriminated against...)”

I hadn’t clocked that before!

Gcnq · 11/02/2021 19:08

Oh ok

SophocIestheFox · 11/02/2021 17:42

@Gcnq

The "genderist double think" thread gawn with no deletion message?!
Still there for me, not deleted.

Fabulous, Owbist!
