Is there a new Pamela thread?

Just seen that the other one is full.

OP posts:

It went wrong the moment it was started.

Pansypotter123 · 21/07/2023 19:18

This thread should just be taken down. Imagine if Pamela or her family do come back to update people and read all this. It's inappropriate.

coxesorangepippin · 21/07/2023 19:35

I saw that someone has posted saying please leave room but obviously that didn't happen....

Last thing Pamela and her family need is to be starting new threads on MN.

I don't think this thread should be removed

Willmafrockfit · 21/07/2023 19:39

surely if people still want to put pictures up that would be ok?

Define "overstepping"

You starting a thread. HTH.

Why? To what end? It will be a thread full of people posting pictures and platitudes. Who would be benefitting from such a thread? Not the family in question for sure.

Exactly, if they are in response to Pamela's posts as in the last 5 threads, thats fine, we knew she was benefitting from the support.

We don't know, and possibly never will know what the situation is now, it should just be left. If she or her family start a new thread to update then relies to that are fine, of course.

@treacledan71 I've messaged MNHQ to ask if this is actionable, you'd think people would have had enough respect to leave space for them but no, someone posted three messages about Swanage 😩

Yes I saw that, what an idiot.

gingerguineapig · 21/07/2023 20:08

To be fair that was always going to happen, shame mumsnet doesn't have a way of locking the thread until the op re-starts it in such a situation.

BIWI · 21/07/2023 20:15

So I gather lots of reports already, but nothing from MNHQ?

I reported it over 2 hours ago and had a very quick reply to say they were investigating. I assume they’re not planning to delete which is really disappointing.

paulaparticles · 21/07/2023 20:27

If this is taken down there will just be another one so no point. There are so many of us who are thinking about pamela and her family but may never know from here on which is what happens on mumsnet sometimes.

paulaparticles · 21/07/2023 20:28

I really hope she was able to read the messages of support even if she couldn't post anymore💖

Yesquiteright · 21/07/2023 20:50

Honestly does it really matter? It'll fade into the ether over time, doubt her family are going to be idly scrolling through mnet right now fgs

MillWood85 · 21/07/2023 20:56

Like I said before, grief vultures - all desperate to be more upset/worried/caring than the poster before them.

This family are going through a horrendous ordeal and not one person in Pamela's "army of supporters" deserves anything from them. It's simply not your place to declare that you care or start threads encouraging more mawkish concern. Posting on a thread that they started doesn't give you a place in their life.

GuiltyPleasure · 21/07/2023 21:28

Isn't this effectively a TAAT, which they're usually pretty quick to delete? I've reported on that basis alone.
Also, IMO it's disrespectful to the family, who will update as and if/when they choose. This is grief touristing at its worst

Why do you keep posting on this thread if you are so enraged by it? You can easily hide it if you want to, but you don't want to. You just want to try out people down (the easy over the internet).

The OP clearly meant no malice in her post.

It's almost like a competition between a few people on here with who can be 'most outraged'.

Some of you staying Pamela/Her Family will be upset if they see such a thread, then some of you saying Pamela/Her Family will be far too concerned with other things to even be looking on mumsnet.

What will be, will be.

ClaraMumsnet · 21/07/2023 21:51

Hi all, we have had a lot of reports about this thread.

We do understand why the OP has started this thread, and that WilsonMilson has found her previous threads to be supportive and comforting for her.

But we also understand the view that, as WilsonMilson started the previous threads, she or her family should be the ones to start a new one, and not be under any pressure to respond or update.

For that reason, we're going to lock this thread now. We will unlock it at the request of WilsonMilson or her family and friends, and she is also welcome to start a new thread, too.
