to take out my dc who has the pox?

[sleeplessinseatle]

Obviously not to playgroups etc, but I've got a baby at home and don't think I can cope otherwise. Is there anywhere we can safely go where there won't be lots of kids/pregnant women?

I can never remember MN deleting every single one of someone's posts before. :(

A BIT MORE FROM THE MN POLICY "Whether posted by trolls or otherwise, we don't tolerate any unnecessarily abusive postings and would certainly ban anyone who was persistently doing this of kind of thing."

(sorry Shabba, I got your name wrong. My keyboard is doing strange things today)

Casserole - you have written a very sensible post.

Lady - my thoughts exactly - our bereaved mums thread makes no sense at all - its like reading a letter that has been censored its hard to explain how this has upset all the mums who have lost their precious children.

It must be so very upsetting but I am sure MNHQ would not do such a thing without reason.

i am a bit about this.

i am hoping ss isnt a troll.

however, if she is, then she wont be the first person to troll about such a thing judge flounce did it.

Nope dont think any of Dizzys posts were deleted....even though many people had told MNHQ about their fears concerning her. No they just let her reel a few of us in and get too involved trying to help her.

Just to reiterate, there are lots of reasons someone could be called a troll by MNHQ, and so MNHQ are NOT necessarily stating that they do not believe Susan's story.

Given that so many people know Susan IRL, it is unlikely that dishonesty is behind the ban.

It may well be that the material recently put on to the blog - which I have not seen - meets the troll criteria in MNHQ's eyes.

I must state however that I am not "taking MNHQ's side" on this. I think MNHQ have been unbelievably slack in not explaining the issue - they should know that a label of troll would make people assume that dishonesty was being alleged, and this would cause distress all round.

Sorry, what happened with these other people - Dizzy/rarebird? How bad was it re: trolling and what was the outcome?

The word troll just shouldn't be used in this circumstance unless it is what we all understand when we hear the word: someone making up their story.

Casserole - can you please clarify the accusation that Sassysusan 'outed' a poster on her blog ? Genuine question ? Because from what I've read, Sassy used the same username that the person themselves uses on MN (assuming that it's AvrilH that you are referring to ?)

Thing is though MNHQ always go on and on that people shouldn't call "troll" in a thread. But they have done just that, they've called Sassy and troll and then just vanished with no explanation.

Dizzy

Lies about a pregnancy, lies about the death of twins, just total, total lies.....she was banned until she could give proof of the death of her twins. She then went onto facebook and took me in hook, line and sinker....culminating in suicide threats on New Years Eve if I didn't stay in and talk to her on FB chat.

Yes, all sounds stupid now.

Yes, I was totally fooled,

Yes, it was very upsetting.

Do you honestly think mnhq would take such drastic action without very good reason?

Sassy - have you read the blog - it is there is bright lights.

Taking the poster into another forum is completely different.

AvrilH did not come on here to end up on a blog!

Oh dear shabba, so sorry that you were involved in something like that .

I am wondering if Sassy may have worked out who Avril was in RL and contacted her via other means? Just speculating as Avril has vanished from fb today and because I think that they may come from the same geographical area.

Shabba - that sounds horrid!

Well that is a start - I hope Ayril is ok?

And I have just seen what she has changed it too.
