The grin is familiar.

@BakedCam

The majority of posts are not mine

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.

You are counting posts. Hey ho

It's back up but looks like it's locked - no new posts since yesterday. But a good opportunity for all those who claim they didn't spot the racism to go and have a good read of the Justine thread in chat.

HeIenaDove · 12/10/2020 17:24

@BIWI I will take a look. And i hope it is reciprocated!!!!

No, Jane. Handy little facility at the top of each page that states how many posts the OP has made on the thread.

It is one click.

I'd get yourself over to the site. Before it is zapped again. You can produce the receipts.

The grin Grin yes, it is an emoticon - if you click on the smiley face, it throws up a choice.

Yes, I hope they have been shamed into refreshing their memories.

I wonder if it was taken offline to remove all the racist posts so it can come back and they can gaslight people and say find one and prove it!

HeIenaDove · 12/10/2020 17:31

@Janegrey333 that thread is LONG Im going through it at the moment and they are going on about Friends and new kitchens.

Meanwhile i hope you pop over to the mask threads on the Coronavirus board and refresh your memory about the ableism you have denied that you have seen.

Because if you are expecting other people to have the time to go through reams and reams of pages i assume you are applying the same rule to yourself.

HeIenaDove · 12/10/2020 17:34

@VettiyaIruken i have no idea. But i know i didnt post anything racist on that site.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD I USE THE SAME USERNAME IF i was going to do that Miss Marple???

Quaagars · 12/10/2020 17:34

@EchoCardioGran

Well, interesting!

SecretWitch · 12/10/2020 17:36

Perhaps it is better for the racists to have their own little pig pen to wallow in. Maybe we will have less threads about that nasty Markle woman who stole our Lilly White Prince away and carted him off to the US...

HeIenaDove · 12/10/2020 17:44

Oh and some of the posters on this board knew damn well id been suspended from here and why because they also post on Reddit. But NOT ONE let others know about it on here so ppl would know i hadnt just flounced or fucked off with no warning yet are happy to tear into me on this thread for things i havent done. I started a thread on Reddit letting ppl know id been banned for a week. Hoping the news would somehow get back here. When that didnt work i started one on the other site. Then stuck around for the Covid threads.

Their Admin has posted... can't be bothered to c&p, you can imagine it's denying everything and asking people to link posts that are racist. Because there's only been one. Hmm

Fine if it's back up, do what you want on there, just leave MN and its posters alone.

@VettiyaIruken the only thing im an admin of is a tenant groupon facebook. I wouldnt have the first idea how to start a website.

HeIenaDove · 12/10/2020 17:51

And there are posters on Reddit who have bee slagging me off on there for years. Some of whom post on here.

VettiyaIruken · 12/10/2020 17:54

🙄 I don't actually think you are the admin.
I said that because of your bizarre and ridiculous response to a post that was clearly not about you.
I would absolutely love to know why exactly you responded to a post that had fuck all to do with you with angry caps and a stupid miss Marple crack.

What exactly made you think a post about site management and site deletions had anything to do with you?

@VettiyaIruken I wasnt sure it wasnt about me. Its getting hard to tell.

EchoCardioGran · 12/10/2020 17:56

The more I look at that cache, some of the MNetters who otherwise have some good supportive history on here, got sucked into stuff.
At the time of the very heated debates taking place on here. there was a lot of trolling. Lots of outside agendas going on. Like most people on here not in " the know" I didn't know sometimes who was real and who was not. (I can only speak for myself here on this.)

I think there has been confusion about the "monkey". It comes about from this bit here. I've no idea if " swooning monkey" was a troll, or a sarcastic user name. They aren't a current poster on the Black MN board. Daisy, I can see that you are shocked by it.

Unbelievable!

A poster on that thread says:

I’m so glad us Black Mumsnetters finally have our own space. Threads on race on MN inevitably end in a bun fight, where many share their offensive, bigoted views which prevents many from actively engaging.

So, to their admission they are black.

Want to guess what user name they've given themselves?

swooningmonkey

I just cannot believe the contradiction in calling yourself "monkey" , when that has to be, without a doubt, the most awful, derogatory thing to be said about a person of colour. I need to step away otherwise I will explode. ?

How?
Genuinely. How could it possibly have been about you?

daisychain01 · 12/10/2020 18:17

You have completely misconstrued and misrepresented what I said, Simon whoever you are.

I was expressing disgust that someone was using a username that was derogatory. Do you know the meaning of the word derogatory?

I was stating that it is insulting and offensive.

How does that make me racist???

This is exactly why this has to stop. You are peddling lies and distorting peoples words. Have you really got nothing better else to do with your time? Well you may not but I do.

Let me get this right: someone on MC was astounded that a black poster on MN should deliberately choose a username with the word 'monkey' in it?

I'm pretty astounded to discover that today too. It does seem rather odd.

The MC poster is also identifying something that could be perceived as racist and is appalled by it, and others agree. Which seems to be entirely opposite to the racism the site is being accused of.
