AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

Does it really matter what he's doing in isolation on another part of the internet?

I understand your immediate, pathological fear - it's justifiable - but what difference does his behaviour make?

Many of the Usual Suspects on this thread have gone out of their way to present an image they are fundamentally unconcerned by his activities, which if it were wholly true would be great, so I can't see the issue.

Ultimately, there's nothing we can do about it. Let him make his silly little lists, say I; it makes zero difference here.

So no, you can't. Thought not.

I'm not convinced - but happy to be proven wrong - that that's the case.

But then there's a tricky situation here, isn't there? This AidaP is apparently no longer an account holder here, so is not logging in and making uncomfortable posts.
They are, by their own admission, scraping the site - a public site - with web-tools to feed into their own bizarre little project.

Unwelcome, totally; but I don't think illegal.

The point isn't to defend their action - only a lamentable halfwit would think that - but to illustrate that I don't think there is any actual, real recourse in law to deal with this.

My posts are abundantly clear to anyone with a basic level of English.

The deliberate misinterpretation of some of them by some of the Usual Suspects is as obvious as it is amusing.

In fact, I'm so confident that I have the measure of many here that I can almost predict word for word some of the posts - including yours - that will come next...

Website Terms and Conditions are covered by contract law.

Can you reference the actual law that says so, please? I don't mean MN's terms and conditions - they are legally meaningless in cases like this - but the actual laws that forbid AidaP doing what she's doing.

I know you have a vague sense it shouldn't be legal, but that means nothing in law, alas.

If multiple people are getting confused, multiple times, with your posts then maybe, just maybe, you are the problem here. A little self reflection might be a good thing before posting again.

You're getting confused again.

I did not tell you what to be concerned about; I literally posted a comment telling you your concern was understandable and justified.

That same comment, the one you failed to read, also asked whether it really mattered what he was doing and, regardless, laid out that there's not much we can do about it.

Again, did you miss the bit where I literally told you your concern was understandable and justified?

You keep talking about "Usual Suspects" on this thread.
You're not new to this board, are you?

And please don't bother telling me what I should, and should not, be concerned about.

Well of course you wouldn’t understand would you…. It’s a female thing. You know, the whole fear of men stalking, harassing and threatening them. What’s that saying, women fear men will kill them, men fear women will laugh at them.

Hi Aida

Can you reference the actual law that says so, please? I don't mean MN's terms and conditions - they are legally meaningless in cases like this - but the actual laws that forbid AidaP doing what she's doing.

I know you have a vague sense it shouldn't be legal, but that means nothing in law, alas.

It's not.

Is this actually legal, I wonder?

The reason I posted this thread yesterday was that I was viscerally shocked by what he is doing.

It brought up my "female fear of men" reaction - like being stalked. He's not just lurking on a site for women that he's been banned from, he's rating and assessing us, and boasting about it.

Just horrible, and I thought that other women should know about how this man is behaving. We need to know that we're being monitored like that.
