ok NOT an aibu, but this is where it will be seen the most and it NEEDS awareness.

quite frankly, i along with others am appalled at the comments that are being made and left to stand, toward the SN community, they are downright offensive and quite simply appalling.

i am sure (or hope) that the majority on here do NOT agree with them but yet the SN community on mn are not being supported, whether this is because people do not know what to say, or they havent seen these posts i do not know?

BUT IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT THINGS CHANGED, so this a thread where you can stand up and be counted and say that you do not agree with the disregard, blatant trolling and offensive behaviour towards our lovely mn who have or are dealing with sn in their family.

they need this place for support, not the vile behaviour that they are getting.

so please post here and show your support and help make a change for the better.

all it takes is a smile next to your name to show you agree :)

@dittany

A personal attack is "you are an x, y, z"

A comment on how someone is behaving, even if you say they are behaving like an arse, is not a personal attack. People can change their behaviour.

Broadly speaking this is about right Dittany. Lissielou, apologies looks like we might have been a bit trigger happy on your deletion. And you could have done with a fuller explanation of why the post was deleted - in reality I think it was probably due to a little over-concern about troll hunting/opening the floodgates to a bunfight but in retrospect it was certainly the wrong call.

We do try our best to be true to our talk guidelines and more importantly to the spirit of the place but inevitably there is a bit of inconsistency/human error from time to time, particularly when things get hectic. The mod team really do work very hard behind the scenes in investigating all reports but when the floodgates of reports open and people are very cross, trust me, it can be extremely hard to make the call on what to delete and what to leave - much harder than it might seem from the other side of the shed.

Anyway, we're sorry for any irritation caused here. Please do continue to report any disablist posts - we are absolutely committed to Mumsnet being a safe haven for those with special needs and/or those with children with special needs and will delete disablist posts and ban any posters whose sole intention is to inflame. (Although it may not always happen instantaneously)
