Bunburying and wassailing into winter - thread 7

That specific assumption has been made on another platform. We may get a few more incoming soon

That it really was Lang? oh dear.

Thanks for the warning though.

Yes, this is what I asked too. I did not assume that Langry really was Lang Cleg, but thought that MN might have.
They ought to know, but I bet the person who reported it thinks it.

But the deletion messages suggests that the only a problem with the thread is that the OP was a PBP.

It's not Lang but maybe they are a PBP. But it would be more of a genuine reflection to say and there was a troll too who has since been banned.

There was something familiar about that PBP when the masked slipped. I think they may well have a Trans child!stepchild.

Oh I missed thread 5. Don't suppose anyone archived it...?

My spidey senses were going off big style re the stepmother!

Datun
If that dreadful poster is a troll, then all their posts would be deleted. But HQ would have to change the deletion message.

The poster who gave me the strongest sense of "I'm alright Jack" that I have ever had in my life, on thread 4 "my stepchild is super-popular and incredibly successful so your daughters, and incidentally mine, can all go to blazes" is still there in thread 4, and if they had been banned as a troll wouldn't their posts all be gone, there as well as the more recent posts?

There was someone in thread 3 and 4 with a trans step child - that's not the troll or abusive poster, is it? Yes, apparently the trolling poster.

Did someone new turn up? And on Thread 5, someone new did turn up.

Actually I've found a way to still view it so will be taking a look at what I can Anyway to archive it?

I think Thread 5 was a step too far for the trolling poster to keep up the pretence.

I'm confused as stopped towards end of thread 4. There was someone in thread 3 and 4 with a trans step child - that's not the troll or abusive poster, is it? Did someone new turn up?

agreed. I think you are right in that anyone reporting it would think it.

But alas my email back confirmed it was still a PBP even after I argued it was a mistake.

Shame though....

The OP is not lang cleg. I wonder if there has been a mistake. I have asked HQ.

Yes, this is what I asked too. I did not assume that Langry really was Lang Cleg, but thought that MN might have.

The deletion message says it's the OP who has been banned. It's a little unfair, because the poster who was trolling has not been acknowledged on the deletion message as a troll.

I mentioned on this thread that Lang has been banned, when I asked about Weetabix. I wonder if someone reading my post thinks that the OP was Lang, not realising her name is used in dozens of other usernames.

As it stands, a reasonable question is now looking as though HQ thinks it's dodgy, and the dodgy poster has not been acknowledged.

I posted that theory before I received an email confirming it was A PBP. I did not query who it was. So, before I had the confirmation I was theorising that they had made that mistake.

I had my account suspended for several months towards the end of last year ( & as a result I stopped even looking in. I felt so disheartened and compromised), but since I've been actively engaging again, I note that several/numerous long term posters have disappeared. Have they all been banned? I know about Lang Cleg.....

Unless I've misunderstood, it's not Langry that's been banned, but the poster whose misogynistic language was alarming last night.

Thanks Rufus, I see. Yes, it had started reasonable and then was slowly becoming more hostile, but I missed all the descent into scariness.

Hope you're okay, Cara and anyone else worried by it. There really are some horrors out there who are determined to silence women.

Was LangryCleg banned because the reporter thought they were LangCleg?

Apparently Langry was a PBP. However, Langrycleg, thank you. I guess you are banned again.

The "I'm going to get you all banned" speech was where the goading seemed to tip over into narcissistic rage at the women on the thread.

and that my instinct that they were not who they said they were was on the money).

Mine too, though I didn't want to troll hunt on the thread. I feel vindicated!

Interesting!

I think one aspect of it is that 'we' are less likely to report posts like that because we'd rather let them stand and be visible. Sunlight and all that.

Sorry. Posted too early.

Their dissonance kept the threads going and allowed many people to post great information for other readers.

Own goal.
