Had enough of their agenda being forced down my throat whether I want it or not. Major recruitment drive going on lately, and serious opression of other posters views. Just gets worse and worse. This was not what I believed MN was supposed to be about.

I'm off.

chem, do you honestly believe that if someone disagrees with you they must be a bad person? Holding a different point of view from you does not = confrontational.

Beachcomber · 22/02/2012 23:13

Cbem you don't have to call someone names in order to break the MN rule of not personally attacking someone.

You can say things like 'how rude are you?' (Which I am certain MNHQ would delete if I could be arsed to report it).

(Nice demonstration of passive aggression there, though, Chem, with the 'blaming me for stuff that happens to you on MN'. I haven't blamed you for anything and I've no idea what you mean by 'stuff that happens to you on MN'.)

Your posts are coming across as just plain aggressive cbem.

""

Now that is passive aggressive!

"Edam and Beachcomber you both come across as confrontational and you don't even know me."

And pretty much the first thing you said to Beachcomber was "how rude are you". Are you aware that you're projecting your own behaviour on to someone else?

I'm just reading the Amsterdam thread and people are being unbelievably rude to the OP - "none of your fucking business" etc etc. Just pure nastiness. But of course it's the rad fems are the meanies.

runningforthebusinheels · 22/02/2012 23:29

I just re-glanced at Seeker's 'flattering' thread too - no bullying, no deletions. Just one poster moaning that it 'should be in feminism'. Hmm

Beachcomber · 22/02/2012 23:29

You can also say things like; "And you say you're not a passive aggressive poster?"

I don't know what your problem is with me cbem (and please don't take that as an invitation to explain! It's not.) but you are breaking MN rules on personal attack. I'm asking you to cut it out.

Like edam, I don't have a clue what you are on about with the stuff about me blaming you for whatever it is you seem to think I am blaming you for.

Still no evidence produced of feminists bullying then?

Just evidence of a feminist poster on the receiving end of a personalised and quite sinister attack, when she has been polite and gracious throughout.

Beachcomber · 22/02/2012 23:47

Actually I didn't say that cbem. I didn't say that I get constantly attacked on MN. I didn't say that because I don't get constantly attacked - I have the odd run in with someone or the odd misunderstanding, yunno, in the normal way of forums. You can't get on perfectly with everyone all the time.

In fact I don't get attacked very often to my face in a 'Beachcomber you're a ' sort of way. In fact I would say it isn't a frequent event.

What does happen is I will stumble on threads claiming that 'radical feminists are '.

And that is an attack on me because I am a radical feminist. It is just more backstabbing and mudslinging than a straightforward attack like the kind you have gone in for on this thread.

So it seems that it is you who doesn't understand what I mean. Rather than the other way round.

Quite, sternface. Quite an attack on Beach there.

Beachcomber · 22/02/2012 23:56

Oh well cbem, fortunately I won't be losing any sleep over your opinion of me, so perhaps you are wasting your time by posting so much on What Cbem Thinks of Another Poster.

Nyac · 22/02/2012 23:57

Are you doing your best to offend cbem?

Nyac · 22/02/2012 23:58

I just think it's jolly funny that the people who are the most critical of radical feminists are so rude and aggressive in their own posts. It's striking.

sternface · 23/02/2012 00:00

Yes quite. Glad you're okay Beachcomber.

"Anyone's rude that disagrees with you"

I fundamentally disagree with this, you can disagree with someone's point of view quite amenably, it's when you start personally attacking another poster that it becomes rude.

Beachcomber · 23/02/2012 00:06

I like a bit of irony, me. Cheers one up.

Thank you to sternface for her nice comment and thanks to all for keeping me company whilst another poster has a right old go at me out of the blue for no reason.

I'm a bit annoyed that that poster then claimed she was being ganged up on because all you lot were nice and stood up for me whilst I was being personally attacked for no reason.

Not cricket.

I wonder if this will pop up in the next feminist bashing thread as 'evidence' of our bullying ways?
