https://twitter.com/guerrero_ramey/status/1567248658004934656 The fallout from this tweet last night was a sight to behold.

That would work so well. Bet she'd handle my mother with Grace and elegance!

picklemewalnuts · 14/09/2022 19:13

Wild. Trippy.

EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn · 14/09/2022 19:11

Has anyone ever considered that maybe we're all JK Rowling's sock puppets????

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 14/09/2022 19:08

I'm always intrigued when they accuse GC tweeters of not being "real people".

It sounds like they mean that GC accounts are operated by robots. I think they mean that GC accounts aren't tweeting under their real names. This is often true, because of the climate of fear there has been. But it doesn't mean there isn't actually a person typing, who is even entitled to vote in real life!

Report them to Twitter & anyone else you can think of for LiTeRaL ViOlEnCe @TheMarzipanDildo…

I wonder when she began to feel alarm about the direction of travel that transactivism was taking? To me, The Silkworm, which we were discussing earlier, reads as if she didn't have concerns at that point.

I reckon during Career of Evil, with the transabled plot line.

I remember a few of us on here speculating about her views when she got "called out" for liking a GC tweet. It got explained away by her publicist as a 'middle-aged moment' and that she accidentally liked instead of saved the tweet. That was a good few years ago now. I feel like it must have been a slow build up as she researched and found out more, because she certainly had all her ducks in a row when she opened the gates of hell with the woman tweet.

Someone accused me of being a sock puppet on Twitter when I was GC’ing a few weeks ago. I was really excited to find out my real identity but they wouldn’t tell me

Was it the real Buffypaws though, or someone else who had got hold of her log in details? 🤔

Very good point, Countess.

picklemewalnuts · 14/09/2022 13:43

Yeah! I'm just throwing red herrings out. Obviously it's me, really!

Or perhaps we need a Spartacus moment ...

I'm JKR!

Returning briefly to the idea JKR is on here...

I can't imagine her reading passively, which means... she's one of us! She's a name we'd recognise I reckon. One of those posters we admire and nod sagely about as we read their posts.

It would be the highest compliment to be secretly suspected of being JK Rowling on Mumsnet.

D'oh! I meant the Mermaids/LGB Alliance tribunal threads.

Great new Strike book RedToothbrush. Really enjoyed it.

You know, she might be a quiet lurker who was radicalised by mumsnet.

There's a lot of us. I keep my thoughts on here as I get tired of the Twitter one-bite pile on and the eloquence displayed by so many posters on here put most of the official media accounts to shame.

Nah, we mustn't out her!

Far better to dream on with every great post we read!

And one day, the word may be released...

I have often wondered if she is one of the gone-but-not-forgotten posters from days of FWR past. I like to think she vented her GC beliefs here in order to stop herself doing it on Twitter, but then she lost her outlet due to a ban, so to Twitter she went.

Can anyone remember if any particularly eloquent and vocal posters were lost around the same time as the 'wumben' tweet?

When did we lose LangCleg?

NitroNine · 14/09/2022 01:43

RedToothBrush · 07/09/2022 18:51

I believe she does too.

Just a feeling.

That's exactly what JKR would say to throw us off the scent...!

But she might have enough self-control not to post.

I think this. That or she's Datun. I would love it if she was @datun.

Yes, she kept her GC powder dry on Twitter for quite a long time.
