Original poster

Do you take 3am posts less seriously on sex and gender threads?

I know the heatwave is making it hard to sleep at the moment, but I am intrigued by posters who log in at 2, 3 or 4 in the morning to leave bitchy comments, or long, complicated and sometimes cross-linked moans about something.

I guess some could be on holiday in a different time zone, but does anyone else treat any claims made in bitch o'clock 3am posts with a mountain-size grain of salt?

I don't take them less seriously based on the time they post because, as pp said, people are in different time zones, have different sleep patterns etc.

I do take them less seriously when they're a fact- free angry rant regurgitating everything that's gone before, not even understanding the legislation, no robust points made or genuine evidence provided, haven't read around FWR but just jump right in with the same old shite seemingly unaware that we've heard it 1000 times before and basically just want to have a go at women who don't want men in their stuff.

I first started reading FWR when I was awake at silly o'clock breastfeeding, so I can understand posts at odd times in the night. There's also different time zones, insomniacs etc.

Mind you, there's a thread at the moment where a brand new poster logged in at 3am ish to demand everyone use the 'medical term' trans woman rather than the more accurate trans identified man.

I'm afraid I don't take that seriously. At all.

Depends if they start whanging on about bathrooms or restrooms when they mean public toilets and clearly have no knowledge of the equality act but still lecture us on what is and is not allowed under it

Some people live in different time zones and use the forum.

It also figures that there are many reasons why a forum called ‘Mumsnet’ will have female posters awake at all hours.

Presumably this is a response to a particular post that you don't like?
