Because if she has been I would like to know why.

TLES tried to lie her way out of things by saying that she had never owned a dog (before this one) then when DBF pointed out her lies (old threads) she changed her story, then flounced out of thread Angry

All DBF did was point out the inconsistences in her story and kept asking her to think of the dog.

FFS this is all madness.....

JustineMumsnet · 07/11/2011 20:25

@zimm

I love DBF she speaks so much sense. What is the effing point of a ban anyway? You can just create a new account. MNHQ are stupid fatheads.

You can, of course, and if you did we'll ban you again, I'm afraid. It's about drawing a line about what and what is not acceptable on here. The Doghouse has become a scary place and we are here to make parents' lives easier, not scare them shitless.

I believe there is actual evidence that the poster in question is a liar, or rather has told lies, or rather has said one thing and then another - even though there is evidence in the form of previous threads that she had deleted but which other mners kept copies of, and in the form of PMs.

So to call someone who you can PROVE has lied - a liar - is less a personal attack and more stating the obvious, surely?

I mean, in court you can't be done for libel if you can prove it's true...

Northernlurker · 07/11/2011 20:26

As an aside - Justine - what happens when you get summoned to come on and Say How Things Are? Is there some sort of siren? POssibly a costume change? And why does Carrie never have to do it?

LoveInAColdClimate · 07/11/2011 20:26

Without DBF around I think more dogs will end up being PTS or having shit lives Sad. I'm sure she can go and find a doggy forum to join but DBF has taught great stuff to lots of people on MN who probably wouldn't seek out a dog forum and directly saved a lot of dogs Sad.

She's much smarter than me Wink.

I also think the OP from original thread should be banned

It's not about the poster in question tbh - it's about how you treat all posters.

IveGotTightsOlderThanYouLove · 07/11/2011 20:28

I don't think the Doghouse is a scary place. I'd go on there just to see what DBF has to say.

akaemmafrost · 07/11/2011 20:28

I don't actually give a f* how "aggressive and shouty" she was and I don't really agree that she was although maybe she was and I missed it, I just found her blunt and to the point. Anyone who has repeatedly helped MNetters in dire straits to re-home much loved animals deserves a farking medal imo and this is shabby treatment. When I think of the cringe making and sickening posts certain posters have made and that are still allowed to stand!!!? This is arse.

SacreLao · 07/11/2011 20:28

If we ban all the people that will actually stand up for the animals and try to help then we will have a doghouse full of idiots posting

'my staffy has just had it's 19 litter of pups and the rescue is refusing to take them'

'I am rehoming my dog because it dosn't match my colour scheme anymore, I want a black and white one instead'

Some people NEED bloody telling and the OP of that thread was one of them.

I certainly hope she was banned as well, are you allowed to tell us that Justine?

Signet2012 · 07/11/2011 20:28

Ive seen much much worse. TBF you only have to read AIBU to see some of the things people say to each other.

The lady who the dog thread was about was an idiot. She took on a dog that she could not look after hence it now needing rehoming DBF was not in my opinion rude, she was too the point.

She is no more rude than a handful of other posters who randomly post insults to people when they have nothing more constructive to say.

DBF is passionate about dogs and bound to be more emotive in any subject towards her welfare I didnt find anything wrong with her posts, the woman is a bloody idiot for getting a dog against all advice. She can hardly complain when people flame her for it!

Fair enough if DBF has been warned before but a total ban is over the top dont you think?

Kayano · 07/11/2011 20:28

God I hate missing all the dramz

There must
Be more to it... Mumsnet said that she was already on warning...

Can we get more examples to feed my insatiable need for drama so we can see other evidence GrinWink

Justine if you have banned DBF for saying this

"You are a liar, foolish and a disgrace, not just for what you are doing to this dog but for trying to discredit someone who works her arse off to save them. You appall me..."

in response to the utter horse shit that the OP spouted on that thread, then sorry, but it has already gone to hell in a handbasket.

DBF gives hours of help on this board, yes she's sometimes very forthright, but she never sets out to hurt people as many others in the past have done. You allowed TDWP & others to remain on here despite the fact that their aim was to troll & cause upset. DBF defends the defenceless and you ban her and you ban her for ^ that???

What have you done to TLES?

CaptainKirksNipples · 07/11/2011 20:29

Is TLES banned?

Goldenbrown1981 · 07/11/2011 20:29

Musnet is here to make parents lives easier? Not better then?

At what point does offering to take in this dog and find it a better hoe not make someone's live easier? At what point does offering advice about breeders, keeping a dog etc not make life easier? She offered to deal with this entirely for the OP, how could she have made life any easier?

Alouisee · 07/11/2011 20:30

I do hope that TLE has been banned too?

Hullygully · 07/11/2011 20:30

Ooo yes, let's have a show trial or star chamber.

Serenitysutton · 07/11/2011 20:30

Wicked I am a bit in love with justine. How cool? She's even repsonding to your whinging.
