There's something about her that is media hungry - if she hasn't sold her story to a tabloid or glossy mag in the next week then I'll take it back. But more importantly, WHY is Mumsnet towers deleting any threads discussing the case?

OP posts:

Agreed, everlong. We are not achieving anything anyway.

LadyBeagleBaublesandBells · 22/12/2012 22:07

Can I repeat what I said in my deleted post as far as I remember.
"Wanking cry, scream and swear as much as you want, I've never been in your shoes and never want to be.
And then I told Zealey to *.
I want to know why you deleted me..

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 22/12/2012 22:08

Ok, op your posts make you sound like an utterly vile heartless individual.

Don't waste your pity on wanking zealey she is just peachy.

Save it all for yourself.

LadyBeagleBaublesandBells · 22/12/2012 22:15

And that's deletable, Everlong?
Fair enough, but everything Op has said IMO is so cruel, thoughtless and unkind and still stands.
I thought we were allowed to swear on here.

good job really. or we would have to read reams and reams of fuck offs and you're a twats!!

RowanTheRedNosedMumsnet · 22/12/2012 22:24

We don't have a problem with fucking swearing. We never have and never will.

But we do think that telling someone to 'fuck off' is a personal attack, unless it's clearly a joke.

Yeah can feel the absolute shame coming off you wanks how dare you call the twat a twat?

No apology so far.

WankinginaWinterWonderland · 22/12/2012 23:00

Many apologies MrsD and MNHQ, I took an overly angry outburst, those guys (outbursts) creep up on me when I least expect them. Hence why I didn't look at this thread a lot after last night, I seen one post tonight and I turned into lady from exorcist, my head was almost spinning as much as her did also...many apologies, uncalled for on such a emotional thread.

Thank you LadyBeagle, you have helped me out 2 nights running now! Blush

Thankfully I am very busy tomorrow! Promise

Thank you MrsD

I cannot even imagine what you have been through hence not posting anything I know nothing about, I have lost family members, very thankfully no DC. I will now do as my Mum does and touch lots of wood!!

Some people can be very cruel, thoughtless and vile.

I will not lie I am thinking um... thoughts though.

One thing I do not understand and cannot get my tiny mind round is the no apology!

Fucking ... people!

I shall leave it at that.

ChippingInLovesChristmasLights · 22/12/2012 23:44

It's like a swiss cheese now.

Why are some people so deliberately obnoxious? What do they get out of it? What do they get out of hurting people who have been through things that no one should ever have to go through?

What possible motivation is there to be so utterly vile?

:(

Biggest, hardest hugs to those that have been there, who know only too well what utter hell this poor woman is going through x

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 23/12/2012 00:48

LadyBeagleEyes, you have to learn to split your posts.

So you should do it like this.

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 23/12/2012 00:49

"Wanking cry, scream and swear as much as you want, I've never been in your shoes and never want to be."

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 23/12/2012 00:50

"Zealey, fuck off"

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 23/12/2012 00:50

Like that. It's the only way.

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 23/12/2012 09:20

I agree with that everlong.

There is a difference between an attack (not allowed) and an observation, which should be allowed. So you should be able to say "I really think your comments are absolutely disgusting, and you should be ashamed of yourself for saying X, Y or Z".

But it depends on whether you are reported or not Confused. And on who is on duty. And on how contentious the thread has become.

But imo if people are being intentionally obnoxious twats, we should be able to point out that fact.
