AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

758 replies

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 😅

I would totally do something similar but my fulfilling & purposeful life, filled with real-life people, meaningful work, long walks in nature and general happiness simply gets in the way of my demented obsessive data collation of people who I don't agree with.

It's tragic, really.

200 years ago this fella would have been harmlessly compiling a taxonomy of (wrongly identified) beetles

I actually think he'd have been writing a guide to all the brothels in London and disagreeing with everyone over the ranking.

It’s good he has a hobby, not sure it fits with the trans mantra of “ living your best life” but he obviously finds it fun.

This clearly could be his best life.

DialSquare · 28/04/2026 21:59

I bet he comes back to post on this thread. He can’t help himself.

I think he needs to get out more.

I’d prefer he didn’t, tbh.

Fascinating to wonder what he is hoping to achieve with his golden set of data and scientific integrity. Publication in a peer reviewed journal perhaps?

No reputable academic would touch the data if he hasn’t worked out how to remove copy and paste quoting, surely? Who would support such a flawed paper?

What a seriously flawed process. Anyone who understands how MN works would also realise that a single poster’s words could end up quoted in many other posts. Meaning, the posters are saying it at all in the way that is supposedly being measured.

How the fuck is a script going to work out what a poster has said vs what a poster has quoted.

It takes some deeply troubled prejudice to even try to do this considering it will be a case of GIGO . But I guess if you are prone to believing subjective reality is material reality, it wouldn’t cross your mind that there is inherent falsity in the results.

What'll happen when the AI has injested GC thinking from MN and starts to call him Sir?

He can scrape this:

“Queer theorists see the intimate connection between biological sex and oppression, and they react by dismantling the notion of biological
sex; feminists see the intimate connection between biological sex and reality and they react by dismantling oppression.
That’s the fundamental difference between liberals and radicals; one sacrifices truth to avoid confronting power, and one confronts power to avoid sacrificing truth.”

He really can't bear the fact we not only don't accept him as any kind of woman, but we don't think much of him as a person either. I truly pity his wife.

I’m going to hazard a guess that is not the worst thing on his hard drive.

Is this actually legal, I wonder?

It's against Mumsnet terms and conditions at least.

When he gets to the end of this project will he turn into a woman?

Yes he will turn into an honorary woman you hater. (I say that as a fellow hater – did you get that, AidaPenis?) I will admit that I too am obsessed with FWR, but as an oasis of sanity. And hate, of course. I appear to need both.

Made the mistake of visiting his Bluesky and clicking on his photo. I've never thought of lighting as creepy until now.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 28/04/2026 21:38

is he scraping them with a splintery rolling pin? He's not a well man is he

popery · 28/04/2026 21:34

Hopefully he's reached the threads about what happens when you scrape MN Grin

TheAutopsyOfMNCorpus · 28/04/2026 21:34

Time to scrape out this old username from the Aston data scraping threads.

I think MN should be made aware of this.

ETA- thanks to those who have already reported this.

EmpressaurusKitty · 28/04/2026 21:32

I’ve just reported the thread to MNHQ as well.

It's something that Mumsnet might want to look into. I will post in Site Stuff.

It's so sinister.

Well, if he’s got to get his snark out better he does it on Bluesky than here or in a women’s toilet.
