Graham Linehan in the DM

Yep I hope Glimmer sees the support he gets on Mumsnet. I also am concerned for his mental health and really hope he is getting support and looking after himself.

1. Thank you Graham Linehan
2. never will I ever join Twitter.

Paisley normally relentlessly targets women. The man is a menace to society.

Glinner says he's going to countersue for harrassment hopefully alongside other of his victims (women).

Hell yeah. I'm putting in for a Crowdfunder. Paisley needs to be stopped for all our sakes!

I'm sure the crowdfunders to which you contribute pass all purity spirals and are empowering to women.

Dana is a man who identifies as a woman and was charged with the vicious rape of his wife, who was in the process of divorcing him. In the end he admitted to one count of Domestic Violence With Corporal Injury To Spouse, as well as to one count of false imprisonment.

He was recognised Business Insider as “one of the geniuses behind Twitter.”

I completely understand his anger. Of course, we should introspect upon our own responses (I could have been less reactive dealing with some things but then the invasion of my life was / is extreme and there's no "script" for when abusers abuse). It's clearly much more nuanced than "Graham lost the plot" or "TRAs are 100% to blame", but he certainly has legitimate complaint about what has been taken from him.

Totally agree with you, Louise. Having been on the end of only a hundredth of the abuse, doxxing and attempts to sack me, that you and Mr Linehan have suffered I know how brave and courageous you both are (and what a coward I am now).

I just worry for Mr Linehan’s long term health. The le el of bullying and abuse he’s been subject to must be taking an enormous toll.

And I hope you are healing and finding a renewed joy in life yourself!

I'll chip in. That guy is a menace to women.

I’m really grateful to him because having decent famous men speak up about this issues reaches audiences that we can’t. He’s been through a lot personally to do this. Thank you Graham

I can't stand Paisley but I don't see how Graham Linehan bringing a private lawsuit against him will benefit women at all.

That's one crowdfunder I definitely won't be contributing to.

My husband works for a SV company and personally knows quite a few Twitter employees. He thinks they are skilled but 'weird'. He finds them 'unsettling'.

I think something like 1/3 of Twitter "users" are actually bots.

Justin Timberlake got to be the world's most followed tweeter because his agents bought millions of bots to follow him...

During the EU referendum something like 1/3 of posts on the subject were written by bots.

Behind the scenes however, there is a small team of woke dudebros in San Fransisco who believe the most misogynistic, porn-mentality derived, harmful clap trap deciding who gets to stay and who gets to go.

Twitter certainly does seem to have very warped views about what deserves banning and what doesn’t.

Blimey, that’s crazy re Twitter rules and not deleting fake accounts when reported. I’m glad I’ve never joined - I don’t think my blood pressure could take some of the rubbish I’ve seen posted via links I’ve seen from this board.

Can’t believe someone is still doubling down on here re the fake account!

Anyway, was good to see Graham’s article. And was great to see so many comments posted, the overwhelming majority was fully in support of him. I hope he read the comments. A chunk of show business society has really shot itself in the foot - they’ve ostracised a fantastic writer. However, they can’t take away the legacy of Father Ted, IT Crowd etc.

Graham, I'd like to say once again, thank you for all that you do 💐

Please don't anyone quote streetspiritt 's latest lie. I've already reported it.

Any proof that's him? Apart from the fact that that would be breaking twitter's rules and twitter could easily check.

Maybe get kver your weird obsession.

It is. If you join Twitter and follow too many 'rad fem/norty people' accounts too fast, they simply block you and hold you ransom for your phone number.

If you join and only follow say two people, and then sit there for a few months and follow rad fem/norty accounts slowly, you can get through the phone number issue.

Twitter has different standards depending on what your opinions are. It's a shit show.

See that's how it works. You can't even name it any more. Not if you want to keep participating.

That poster unwittingly got it wrong and is now unhappy with those that explained it was fake

I think under the circumstances there are two ways a poster could act following that, either say oops sorry I didn’t realise…or keeping going

I also think that which one of those are picked says a lot about that posters

The comments on this thread absolutely prove why the conversation is being shut down and people are being cancelled. Your pure nastiness is doing more harm than good.

How predictable that it's the women who advised OP not to be taken in by fake Twitter accounts who are being labelled as nasty and told they're the reasons conversations are shut down.

He’s bloody amazing.

Sadly, in real life many of us would get into trouble if we were seen to publicly support him. It’s very disturbing.

Ok, so my first removed post said that I AGREE there should be women only places where penis' aren't allowed.

I then said that I had read the DM article and AGREED with GL , however , I then googled him and was concerned that some of the tweets I read were grossly offensive.. I then quoted a tweet which is why the post go removed.

I then said that the extreme activists on both sides were preventing a sensible discussion on the subject. And for that I'm an evil troll?!!

Clearly, from the fact I googled him after reading the DM article shows I had never heard of him before so I did a quick google. Apologies for not blindly believing an article in the Daily Mail, I mean obviously they have such a reputation for objectivity and accurate reporting 🙄

There's quite a few fake GL accounts. Twitter has a report function section for just this reason - to tell them when it's an account who's impersonating someone else.

I've reported fake Glinners so many times and they just ignore the report and they still stand. It's a mystery. I don't think it too far fetched to say that Twitter hates GL too and lies about him help their anti-women 'cause'.
