I sent this to headquarters. If anyone wishes to support me great, if not well at least I tried

Hi there. It seems there is a certain amount of online bullying that happens on your website. Certain posters seem able to make very offensive comments and then either get away with it or if challeneged, they are viciously defended by their 'supporters'. I am sure this is not the culture you would wish to promote on your website and I feel tempted to report this elsewhere. I still believe that to say 'women who give up career choices they are stupid aren't they' should not be encouraged on your website where many SAHM post and do not wish to be labelled as stupid collectively. I would not make such sweeping generalisations about any group. Thank you for your time

Does MN encourage that sort of statement?

No.

It tolerates such statements because this is a forum for grown-ups who can dispute generalisations themselves. If you think a post has really overstepped the mark, report it for MN to deal with case-by-case. If you don't like their judgement - well, sorry.

VinegarTits · 03/11/2010 10:21

you need the opinion police. oh sorry no they dont exist because free speech is not a crime (nor is it bullying)

Alouiseg · 03/11/2010 10:22

Aww bless! Did someone on the big WWW disagree with you?

Have a Biscuit

In fact have 2

scottishmummy · 03/11/2010 10:22

limiting ones choices,be it career/social/educational is daft.she is right

GetOrfMoiLand · 03/11/2010 10:22

I am laughing at Annie stabbing the OP in a frenzy.

Now it has progressed from bullying to homicidal thoughts.

GOOD

muddleduck · 03/11/2010 10:22

what does keech mean?

GallumDrawnAndQuartered · 03/11/2010 10:22

who would one 'report' such a statement to? Them? Do They exist? I can't find Their phone number.

juneybean · 03/11/2010 10:23

I'd rather ban people having a go where people shop Hmm

GetOrfMoiLand · 03/11/2010 10:23

Just pondering on what keech means.

Scottish I always read your posts in Rab C nesbit stylee.

MaMoTTaT · 03/11/2010 10:23

GrimmaTheNome - is that the statement the OP is on about.

scottishmummy · 03/11/2010 10:24

keech=shite.i like rab and ella urban heroes

ShirleyGunpowderPlot · 03/11/2010 10:24

SM - I meant SUE your arse, rather that SUR your arse. SUR your arse would be sitting on top of it wouldn't it?

OMG GOML. I am totally reporting you to my mum. oh yeah and my mum is going to ring your mum and then you'll be in trouble. BIIIIG internet trouble.

purits · 03/11/2010 10:24

I posted on the other thread but by the time I hit 'post message' the thread had got deleted so I am a bit Biscuit.

Go team Xenia

GallumDrawnAndQuartered · 03/11/2010 10:25

Shirly - I read that in a Rab accert too like Keech so knew what you meant.

upahill · 03/11/2010 10:25

Gallum try the men with mustashes - they may have it some where.

notwavingjustironing · 03/11/2010 10:25

Me too.

I bet Scottishmummy is actually Kirsty Young in real life.

DuelingFanjo · 03/11/2010 10:25

Shirley I am admiring the tossing of French casually into the convo

PErsonally I think Xenia frequently talks a pile of shite and has never really lived in the same world as many of us. Though debates with her are great as we never ever agree on anything so they can go on forever Grin

But if that statement above is what someone people are getting upset about

GetOrfMoiLand · 03/11/2010 10:27

Shirely - my mum is well rough innit and she is gonna fucking CREAM your mums ass YOU HEAR ME.

GrimmaTheNome · 03/11/2010 10:27

I feel tempted to report this elsewhere

Maybe a letter to the Daily Mail?

GallumDrawnAndQuartered · 03/11/2010 10:28

most people here talk shite all day every day. you laugh at some, shot at others and ignore the rest.

I agree with GetOrfMoiLand- I witnessed much more buillying from what are now moldies(thank goodness)
As for Xenia, well, she has been doing this for years, I don't think she posts on anything else.
I disagreee with her completely but she never launches personal attacks or bullies individual posters
