Seems to have shut up shop as from this morning.

It could have been if only a minority of idiots hadn't been allowed to dominate it and make it so toxic.

You don’t have to read a forum for long to get the vibe.

@BakedCam Thank You. Flowers i hope my posting history on here speaks for itself.

Has anyone on this thread been banned or suspended from this site for standing up to racism?

Janegrey333 · 12/10/2020 16:19

@BakedCam

What did you do to challenge that racist behaviour? It wasn’t just up to Admin. We all have a duty to stamp on it

No, I don't have a duty to stamp on it. I've seen plenty of it on here and other sites. It is the responsibility of the administrator of the site.

What did you do about it? You didn't even know about it until someone posted about it earlier in this thread?

So you didn't know about it. Yet, here you are, telling members of a former forum how they think and what their political affiliations are without a jot of evidence of that.

Many may well be glad that it had closed. That's their right - particularly where they've been hurt or harmed by it.

But it is very clear that one poster here, who has been here for years, has had an allegation made against her on heresay by one poster who claims to have 'seen' what she and others have written.

She has now been called a racist for something she hasnt said. On your thread? Don't you have a duty to call that behaviour out too? Or that does that stand because.....????

It is not “my” thread, incidentally. People should be free to read and make up their own minds. There are no self-appointed prefects here / as there seem to have been there - although your post seems to be veering in that direction.

Thanks Smile

It's nice now that me (and others) can post without having to hesitate or avoid posting just in case it got picked up by them.

BakedCam FWIW I do think SimonJT should come back and clarify for the sake of that poster. It's horrible to be accused of something that has been misconstrued, or even lied about... I know that.

BakedCam · 12/10/2020 16:26

Nothing to do with here or there... however, by your theory, here you are supporting allegations about a long-term poster and 'prefecting' over a site that is no longer.

You also evaded the questions regarding anti maskers and anti vaxxers. I'll take it that you can't answer as you don't have any evidence to support that claim.

Do provide though,if you can.

Saucery · 12/10/2020 16:27

I don’t recall who came up with the ‘monkey/gibbon’ thing, but it became a running joke on that thread.
I do know, however, that daisychain posted eloquently against disablism on there.

Absolutely Simon should. He should do the decent thing and retract that allegation, apologise to the poster concerned.

I'm sorry, Rousette you've experienced this.

HeIenaDove · 12/10/2020 16:32

Id happily take a vaccine if that means life can get back to normal . Not this horrible new normal.

Just thought id pre empt the next accusation.

Roussette · 12/10/2020 16:35

Thanks.

Hopefully it can get cleared up.

I saw a lot of what Simon posted myself so can verify that, but not that particular post, I don't know anything about it.

@lockedandloaded

I don't recognise the site some posters are describing. To me it seemed a welcoming and inclusive place. I hope people don't take as read some of the outrageous statements being made here. They are lies.
Certainly not what I've posted

I had my friend, always a bit of a softy, in floods of tears to me after a very worrying WhatsApp message. She was so upset, she said she didn't get what she had done that was so awful. This was at the start of the abuse.
It became a witch hunt. I told her, you know what, walk away, let it calm down. Ignore and don't respond and they will get bored.
Except they didn't. They kept tagging her and being abusive, saying "just drop it, let it go". Others even posted, why are saying that, she's not posted in 2 then 3 days. But no, they carried on. She emailed the admin. No response. I emailed my concerns because just how upset she was, asking them to intervene and remove the comments, no response.
Then she posted why is there an effort to get me banned, begging admin to answer. They did by banning her. Then the names here were gleeful, laughing at getting her banned.
One joke about Boris Johnson, one single joke. That was all they needed to make me friend so upset.
And for the poster calling SimonJT a liar, he has receipts in the way of screenshots.
The snakes on there should be instantly banned here. We don't want it here. Yes sometimes here does have its arseholes, but nothing like there.

BakedCam · 12/10/2020 16:48

Then he should produce them.

What snakes? The problem with here is that it is much more spread out because it is a bigger site.

The site has gone. Aside from the allegation that has been denied, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

So I reported this post (as I had suspicions) and quelle surprise it's a PBP Grin
AdobeWanKenobi · 12/10/2020 16:52

Except it hasn't.
Or at least I can still see it and navigate around it.

HeIenaDove · 12/10/2020 16:54

If you mean me i didnt call him a liar. Its obvious he has got evidence about what happened on that site.

But none of the racist posts were written by me.

Janegrey333 · 12/10/2020 16:54

@BakedCam

You seem overly invested in all this. I assume you were a regular on that site.

'Or at least I can still see it and navigate around it.'

Seems like the admin is loving the attention. She needs to make her mind up.

BakedCam · 12/10/2020 16:58

Says the author of a 22 page thread on it.

Some people were happily members of both sites, without a problem.

I'm overly invested in an allegation of a long-term member here that has a long posting history being called a racist that has thousands of members - absolutely when it is not true. Sure.

HeIenaDove · 12/10/2020 17:09

Oh Good. Means people can have a good old look at my posts over there now and see for themselves.

Off you pop.

BakedCam · 12/10/2020 17:12

Just 48 of them.

When you answer questions on anti maskers & anti vaxxers - you first.

Grin

Now it is open again, you should be able to find them quite easily.

Admin seems to have deleted her strop. 😂🙄
