AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

758 replies

BambooLampshade · 28/04/2026 21:15

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 😅

None of which has happened, of course.

I've engaged with the thread, asking legitimate questions and making legitimate points. All the while the subject of unwarranted nuisance attacks by The Usual Suspects.

As I've said from the beginning; I'm very, very interested to learn more about this AidaP and your thoughts. I mean, it's not like this account is being used as a scraping marker for a JS bot or anything. 🙄

As others have said, you can check his Bluesky. It’s probably not worth copy and pasting his stuff to create a thread though. Which is a win for us, and saves you the embarrassment of having to explain things you don’t understand.

If you want to learn more about AidaP then all you have to do is click on the links to his Bluesky posts which I considerately supplied.

You will find plenty of links back to Mumsnet on there, by the way, and also the aforesaid "splintery rolling pin" post.

And you've told plenty of people on this thread to "try to stay on topic", pet. We can actually read your posts, poppet.

Further to this, I've just taken an - admittedly quick - glance over GDPR and I can't see anything that could be reliably used to cause scrapers to Cease and Desist

Possibly someone with superior knowledge will be able to.

Like your average 10 year old

If you want to learn more about him go on his blue sky thing and interact with him directly. I think you'll find you have more in common with him than you do with any of the women on here.

As for my thoughts on a man who scrapes the feminism board of Mumsnet... What a bloody weirdo he must be.

Needmoresleep · 29/04/2026 12:00

Will he employ a terf-o-meter for posters. I don't think I will make top ten, but would hope to be ranked.

Prize would have to be suitable. Swim in the Hampstead Ponds, a Girl Guide Jamboree, or a WI prize winning cake?

BiologicalRobot · 29/04/2026 11:56

That's been asked on the Site Feedback thread but no response yet.

I still haven't seen any.

SlackJawedDisbeliefXY · 29/04/2026 11:52

I wonder if there is a correlation between this scraping and recent periods when the site slowed to a crawl or was effectively not accessible?

AI generated code does have a tendency to initially not work very well and end up not being the most efficient way way of getting the job done

I do. Loved the mint ones the best but the toffee ones came a close second.

There were fruit ones as well.

It's a shame they're not made anymore.

It does feel strange to see the word poppet on here tbh. As did asking women to slide into their DMs. Very surreal on a Women's Rights board.

Show quote history

The lack of understanding of personal boundaries does seem to be an issue.

Invitations to meet for coffee to discuss why male people should be considered female, DMs for private bullying sessions ... these have been behaviours from male posters who cannot respect female boundaries that scarily come up on this board from time to time. The commonality is that the posters cannot understand female boundaries.

Go to BlueSky and read his actual words? Just a wild thought.

I once graded all the toilets on a trip round Europe. Am currently grading all the full English breakfasts within a 20 mile radius of home.

Why is he doing it?

Because MNHQ banned him the other week and his fragile male ego has hurty feelings.

So as he can no longer come directly on here under his name to call the women (who don't wish to agree with him that he's a woman) bigots, terfs and transphobic, he's got his knickers in a twist and is directing his seething hatred of us into compiling his own files of the many ways different posters have pissed him off.

I presume.

I think he was accusing me of accusing him of not being able to understand what gaslighting is.

Anyway, he says he's ignoring me now.

Ooohhhh...like one of those fairground hall of crazy mirrors where nothing makes sense or is grounded in reality? Got it.

I'm confused at what you are reporting as your posts aren't very clear.

Accusing another poster of gaslighting when they weren't..?
