To wonder why EatShitDerek aka FuckitBucket has been banned?

[Arsenic]

Psipsina

I was replying to other posters, so no piling in is happening . and it's a very recent event so for me it's not over yet. and nor it is over for a fair few people - some things that were said were very hurtful to them and really it is not your place to say when it is over.
definitely not over for ESD.

if that makes you feel uncomfortable that's for you to deal with. telling people to stop talking about it - well, let's see if that works.

and Arsenic I'm not sure if you have had a reply to your title question yet so here it is YADNBU!

Psip - I agree. Best to just move on. No point in dragging it all out when the other thread has been deleted.

I take your points but if everyone from the other side of the argument started trying to lick their wounds on this thread too, it would all start again. I'm trying, with respect, not to do that.

Yes I still feel upset by it but that's my problem to deal with as I do not wish the argument to begin again.

Hope that makes sense. I don't want to piss on anyone's parade.

I thought the thread had moved on?

Having said that, ESD was the one suspended over this so I think it's up to her whether to get over it or not.

Sure - but other people were also hurt.

sure - but other people weren't sudpended

I like the sound of being sudpended. I have visions of floating in bubbles.

I've had this ear worm all day. Thought I share it. Sorry

suDpended

typo comedy to the rescue

btw this is one of my many names I temporarily had to go back to for sorting my account/email reasons (and nothing to do with this or any other thread)
just in case anyone is wondering.

and I will 100 percent agree with everything I said on this thread under my previous username.

Pizza, chips and a can for a fiver will always remind me of ESD

Bit wooo

No. Clearly suspension earns people folk hero status

I look forward to meeting the usually lovely ESD when she comes back and seeing for myself why everyone is so fond of her.

Over and out.

Party? There will be a party?? Eggsellent

Erm I don't see anyone giving hero status.

I think the hole point is that some people deliberately push others to snapping point. When they snap gf takes offence. We all seen it happen to people, and we don't like the fact gf walk away scot free. ESD was lucky that she is a prolific poster, so people know she is not usually like that and know it would take a lot for her to retaliate the way she did.

Tbh, the whole 'GF walks away scott free' has been raised so many times and I am unsure whether or even what MNHQ can do about it.
IME an honest fuck off 'get lost' would be far preferable to all the passive-aggressiveness, undermining politeness complete with head-tilt and smiley emoticon that technically meet Talk Guidelines, but clearly is GFyness.

She wasn't being goaded imo. She was being disagreed with.

If disagreeing with a prolific poster is now seen as goading then MN is fucked.

PD

yep. I said pretty similar stuff earlier. that's why you're one of my peeps.
now gimme silver bars you or I'll report you to HDHQ

MN has been fucked since the dawn of time.

I think Psipsina has as much right as anyone to post here. She was the one giving a measured take on the thread in question and an opposing viewpoint is just that, no big deal requiring scorn. Always always two sides to every story and thread.

Julia

GF told her that her family member abused her. which is a vile thing to say and never happened and not true (ESD said so).
that is not disagreeing
that is digging and a personal attack

so you are wrong and I don't see why you feel the need to protect a GF

Being a prolific poster dosen't equal popular liked poster.

You can prolifically spout twattish shite. But then everyone would think you got what you deserved.

Yes, the two sides to every story thing is what makes MNHQ's job so difficult.
One person's GF is another posters 'forthright opinion'.
Psipsina of course has every right to post here or anywhere else and I don't disagree with her. Other than the 'folk hero' - much ESD is one of the poster names I recognise I don't know her other than what she posts on here, she is funny and clever and has posted stuff that has got me thinking so I would be sorry to see her banned. Otoh if she left tomorrow I personally would probably not notice .
I don't buy in to the MN 'royalty' stuff and I've been around from before MoldieGate it were all fields roun'ere

To some people it would be verbal abuse, Zing, so they have a right to say that.

I'm not sure how many times you need to be told that people can hold different opinions for it to sink in, or how to describe nuance any more clearly for you.
