Page 2 | AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

BambooLampshade · 2026-04-28T20:15:39+00:00

Honestly, this man is obsessed. He has now created a program to scrape and grade Mumsnet threads from this board. ^What is this? ^ ^Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads. ^ ^I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅^ [[https://bsky.app/profile/aidap.bsky.social/post/3mkklbtpgbs2s https://bsky.app/profile/aidap.bsky.social/post/3mkklbtpgbs2s]]

Missed that at the time. I've just read it and nearly acquired a shopping addiction myself. 😁

I want sandals like the ones Maud has on the last page. Simple, unfussy, go with everything.

I hope some shoe company exec is reading this and the Maud sandal appears in time for this summer.

'Mumsnet must die'.

And to think how long they took to ban him giving him the benefit of the doubt.

But again, they prove our point every bloody time.

Can you imagine the reaction if I posted “r/transuk must die”? Or “Bluesky must die”?

TheAutopsyOfMNCorpus · 04/05/2026 19:12

Oooh, Gold, Silver or Bronze sandals!

TheAutopsyOfMNCorpus · 04/05/2026 19:11

Will Aida give awards?

I wonder who will win Gold, Silver, or Bronze awards for their posts?

PonyPatter44 · 04/05/2026 19:01

I have some silver sandals, cos I go on cruises and EVERYONE wears them.

I wonder if Aida will share the grades. Will there be a leader board?

Maud the gerbil once visited Style and Beauty.

The swines on that board not only pitched in with gusto but helped create a shopping addiction that she didn't have beforehand!

I would look at that trans teen thread and encourage the parent but AidaP has blocked me on Bsky.

I like the S&B board as a sort of R&R from the...how shall I put it diplomatically - slightly less dramatic problems in the world. But very real for the posters involved.

I also like the fact that everybody pitches in with such gusto to find someone the perfect gold sandal, or the idea outfit for a slightly boho wedding, or - I loved this one: an interview outfit, on a very tight budget, for a very much needed job.
Not only was there lots of advice, but also so many lovely expressions of support for the OP.
I hope she got the job, as so many posters wished for her

Which dress to my welcome home party? | Mumsnet

I've been away doing charity work for the past few months and I've just arrived home to a raptuous greeting. The pub is holding a party this evening...

Even more concerning was his offer to pay her fare for her to travel to meet where he lived.

Show quote history

What was even more concerning was the diatribe from him, after the poster's very politely and diplomatically expressed refusal to meet a random stranger off the internet, in which he tried to shame her into meeting him.

The rage at being denied was very male.

He thought that a MN poster would take up his offer to meet him for a coffee.

That offer looks even more sinister in hindsight.

Spotted too late to edit, but I should have written 'the slightly more dramatic problems of the world'

But you all knew what I meant anyway I'm sure

I have at least three pairs of gold shoes, one of which are gold sandals.

That, my collection of brightly coloured dresses/skirts and my continuing love of boot cut jeans means that I do not often venture onto the S&B board.

And such a typically male patterned behaviour to set up a data scraping tool to ‘grade’ replies when he didn’t get his desired handmaid sycophantic responses. Very few (any?) actual women would respond in such a manner.

Quite. I’m struggling to imagine many women investing so much time, energy and headspace in to forcing people to do their bidding.

"Mumsnet must die", eh?

Ooh the typical male pattern violence is strong in this one, I see.🙃

Yes. Maybe he got his arse handed to him on the S & B boards and told spinny skirts and anime socks are passé.

"Mumsnet must die"

What - all of it, Aida?
So advice about the most stylish and comfortable gold sandals, or dealing with a mild eye infection in a cat, or questions to put to your local candidates - this is all evil evil evil and must die, Aida?

Or do you just obsess about this board?

It’s interesting reading this thread alternately with the transgender homicides one.

Most trans activists are harmless, if deluded and sexist.

There are a surprising number who feel the need to express violent feelings towards women, though. And a small number I feel are genuinely dangerous, obsessive, and unstable men.

JustBitetheKnotsOff · 04/05/2026 12:47

The thread about how to help a suddenly trans identifying Canadian teen did get some dangerous suggestions, he's not entirely wrong there.

So do legal threads and quite a few health threads. They don't tend to attract death threats to people or the site, though.

Someone asking for help and being offered advice that others consider unhelpful is just not in the same universe as 'Mumsnet must die' or rape by splintery baseball bat.
