What Driving said. MNHQ didn't let it stand.

Bollss · 25/05/2020 19:29

Don't go @LilacTree11 fuck those idiots don't let them win!!

We're supposed to be having a 'second wave' now as VE Day was 8 May and all the Dementors were warning how we'd see a second wave in 2-3 weeks.

They were hoping for 3rd time lucky after the hotly anticipated Mother's Day and Easter 'spikes' didn't materialise. The dementors were disappointed yet again.

@Sadie789

Anyone else being demented in group chats with people that pre lockdown you considered to be likeminded friends

Yes I am I literally have one friend that has similar opinions to me
The rest are pretty much hysterical / and / or dementors
It's lonely tbh

Bollss · 25/05/2020 19:31

The figures aren't low because of lockdown. A 40yo for example has the same chance of dying if they catch covid whether we're in lockdown or not!

Or are they talking about transmission etc?

PickAChew · 25/05/2020 19:32

Our M&S had white bread flour in its bakery, this morning. They've had a steady supply of SR for a week now and Tesco had 4 different types of plain plus its value "stock well" brand SR.

It's brown or granary for that I've struggled to get. I usually mix doves malthouse and wholemeal. I had a couple of bags of wholemeal, already but managed to get some brown multigrain flour from amazon. 6kg of it, so it has better be nice.

Means I can go back to making most of my bread, now.

So we can go to market stalls, car showrooms, kids can go back to school and even visit department stalls middle of June but still no mention of when we can see family? Am I missing something??

So fed up.

LilacTree11 · 25/05/2020 19:33

Some of the OP comments from the “ban LilacTree” thread

“ Can we do away with this poster? She's pure propaganda. Every school thread she's on it with her anti-teacher stance. Sends me mad. Can we ban her lol”

“ so many people hate this user .... and now we all want to help them because someone made a stand against them ...“

“ don't make post which are aimed to maim like the poster this thread is about?”

Teachers?! Aiming to maim? this isn’t about a drunk poster on a Friday night.

savehalloween · 25/05/2020 19:34

Please don't deregister lilac

You've been a welcome voice here. I would see you on threads, saying what I was thinking about lockdown at a time where not many others were (and we didn't have this thread to congregate on).

It was obvious that the first poster on that thread was in cahoots with the original poster, as notably they were the only person in agreement with them.

I don't think you could share an opposing viewpoint on something as big as lockdown / coronavirus without ruffling a few feathers. But for what it's worth I'm glad you have.

LilacTree11 · 25/05/2020 19:34

driving yes, it was the Night Watch who pulled the thread

But why did they delete the thread where people reported the problem? Pretend it never happened?

BirdieFriendReturns · 25/05/2020 19:35

Please stay LilacTree, don’t let the nasties win!

onedayinthefuture · 25/05/2020 19:35

Why not open up some zoos? They are out in the open? Kids have been so badly let down.

AnotherEmma · 25/05/2020 19:35

Lilac, please don't repost that crap. It's just a troll and a bully making up nasty nonsense. They don't you. It has no basis in reality. Please try to put it behind you. The reason MNHQ deleted everything is that it should never have been posted in the first place, it's trolling and personal attacks and completely against the guidelines.

Drivingdownthe101 · 25/05/2020 19:35

Ah ok sorry I didn’t realise there was a thread reporting the problem.

AnotherEmma · 25/05/2020 19:36

"why did they delete the thread where people reported the problem?"

TAAT, I expect. Once the original thread was deleted there was no need to let the second one stand.

AnotherEmma · 25/05/2020 19:37

"They don't you." should have been "They don't know you."

savehalloween · 25/05/2020 19:39

I suspect (purely speculation) that he's giving bits and pieces each day but will save that for Thursday's big announcement.

In comparison when there was that big Sunday night waste of time announcement he announced less change that he has done in the past two week day briefings this week.

I'd guess to try and get people's heads around the fact that the economy is going to be opening back up again and off of the Dominic Cummings stuff

BabcockPeggy · 25/05/2020 19:39

Aagh, just engaged in a debate with some dementors on Nextdoor who have expressed surprise, bordering on horror, that a lot of people have been going for walks in the local area. Apparently they are stupid and it's all because of Dominic Cummings. Nothing at all to do with the fact that there's fuck all else to do...

LilacTree11 · 25/05/2020 19:43

AnotherEmma but they could have said if they’d taken any action against the poster.

Nothing.

Sadie789 · 25/05/2020 19:43

@LilacTree11 I don’t really know much about the workings of MN but it’s possible they delete all threads relating to these kinds of issues to avoid negative PR (as you will know from the number of Mumsnet threads that become Daily Mail and Mirror articles there are always journalists watching).

At a time when MN is begging for cash to survive the last thing they need is a bored journalist putting together a MN bullying piece.

I would just take comfort knowing you got lots of support in the thread and it’s now all deleted so can just move on xx

DianneWhatcock · 25/05/2020 19:44

@LilacTree1

Don't de register they are just pathetic bullying twats.

Shortly before these dementors threads I saw some posts from you (re corona) Cant remember the thread but it was basically a thread questioning whether the fear was out of proportion

At the time I was in a very low place and tbh your posts helped get me out of it

littlbrowndog · 25/05/2020 19:45

The thread I saw was deleted because mumsnet said it was a troll

TheAdventuresoftheWishingChair · 25/05/2020 19:46

Lilac please stay. You are an important part of this thread. The people targeting you sound vile but it only reflects on them.

DianneWhatcock · 25/05/2020 19:46

@TrustTheGeneGenie

God knows - as you say the individual risk is the same whether ten million got infected or ten thousand

Basically I just think people like that just don't want to accept any form of good, positive news
God knows why
fuck sake honestly so bored of these fuckers
