"Mumsnet deserves it" blog

I'd like to know who the moderators are.

No one said that you think rape is ok. A comparison was drawn between 'Mumsnet brought it on themselves, with their bully tactics' and 'She brought it on herself, with her short skirt'. It is blaming the victim of crime, not the perpetrator.

No one is comparing rape to a website getting hacked either. At the same time, you are minimising what happened by saying it was just a hack. You may not have read the full story, but two families had armed police turn up at their homes, which was undoubtedly frightening for the children. Do you think that they deserved it because their mother set up/used Mumsnet?

If you want to put yourself of the side of people who would do something like that, you go ahead, but don't expect to be congratulated on your clear thinking.

Congratulations 20something. You are now an apologist for cyber criminals. You have a great future in blogging.

I wonder if the blogpost got noticed and tweeted about because a thread was started about it on here?

As I said before, I think she is suffering from internalised misogyny. Her blog has found its natural place with those 4 Chan arseholes.

I just noticed who was promoting the blog on twitter, too. (And now I understand the thread about "Jeffrey", too!)

Have reported him to twitter, for all the good that does. He's linking to pastebin dumps of email addresses, too.

20something...Just had to test it for myself. You really are deleting any comments on your blog that ask you to provide evidence of what you said. And loads that simply show support to MN.

Anyone puts gin in their name, uses gin in conversation or even just thinks about gin and I'm going to throw a flounce that will be epic

I own this name! Oh yes

Hi Queen you could have outed me I met some funny and kind even though I was a cock posters on that thread

MNHQ will fight for their gin.

Treemuskears I'm pretty sure Jeffrey posted the blog on Twitter after the OP dropped a link to it, on the Hackergate part three thread.

He's obviously avidly reading MNHQ's threads and must have thought all his Christmases had come at once...

Ahem.

No one minds.

That's one of the most ignorant, hateful things I've read for a long time.

Tehehe...

Oh no - i'm going to write a blog - it's noooooooot faaaaaaiiirrr!

Where DID MmeLindt disappear? Her mere presence soothed me when I frequented MN after dc1's birth imagining her in alpine Swiss vistas calmly imparting wisdom. Now I'm back after dc2 and she's gone. Gone.

Argh, my keyboard keeps deleting whole words!

not read thread, so others may have said it - there are loads of dads on MN too.
and single men and single women, people with no children etc, mostly here for advice & support and fun.
just shows that the hackers and indeed most people outside of MN have no idea about that fact.
yes MNers will take no shit, but that is not the only thing the website is about.
stupid trolls

I know you said you're not engaging any more, 20something - and I really hope you're not.

Because everything you've posted so far is so toe-curlingly, excruciatingly embarrassing that I honestly think it could lose you any remnant of a reputation your blog has.

You can't construct an argument. A quick look at your blog reveals you can't construct a sentence either. You make outlandishly naive claims such as you're a "social commentator", which make you sound like an earnest sixth-former writing for a school newspaper. You claim you went "up against Amazon"....I mean, what?! The pomposity of it all is staggering.

But most worryingly of all,you seem utterly unaware of the misogynist and, yes, disablist, nature of some of the stuff you've come out with. And just keep ploughing on, chucking straw men here and there and insisting you're hard done to.

I think it's time to get over this grudge, which comes over as more than a little bizarre. Mumsnet is a safe and helpful place for so many people. I, personally, have never seen any of the bullying referred to. Perhaps because I haven't been around that long. But even if I had got my arse handed to me on a thread, would I still be raging about it years later? No.

Anyway. On a separate note, though, what is the bar for "social commentator", do we think? Now newspapers are largely made up of user-generated content and anyone can get published both in print or online, perhaps bloggers - even bad ones - really can call themselves this generation's social commentators.
Everyone's a reporter, everyone's a publisher, print journalism is on its arse ... maybe 20something has a point, somewhere. Maybe.

:o gin.

I'm sure I saw her recently schlong maybe a variation on her name

:)

From 20's Blog - comments section. Is 20 on another thread as well as this? I couldn't find one....

I think a fair few at MN, the real troll contingent who have spent the day rounding on me on not one but two threads, should stop laying blame and making excuses. Netmums hasn’t been hacked. Nor has Bounty. Or any other parent aimed forum. The fact you are so quick to jump on me for saying “have MN ever thought perhaps the bullying has gone too far and someone has had enough” says it all. I have said quite clearly I don’t condone their methods. Nor do I condone the type of attitude that seems to be rife at MNHQ. Not one admin has come over to that thread and asked their members to cool it.

To be fair, I have had to namechange due to being hounded.

I just don't go away and make a badly constructed blog post about it. Nor do I think an entire site deserves a hack. Nor do I think anyone 'asks' for swatting. Nor do I think anyone deserves the sick attentions of the needledicks.

Mumsnet is usually and mainly a safe place, but not always.

What is the Bounty drama about?

LOL I just found her blog post whining about MN from 2013, titled (naturally) Mumsnet- The Truth

Aside from the completely hilarious content... Has anyone told you that you can't actually write?

Let's edit just the first couple of sentences:

This is a post I write with a heavy heart, with shock, and with feelings of utter disbelief.

I had been at the Cybermummy conference when Justine, the sites founder, did little to attract non-middle class Guardian reading Mums to the fold by an ill thought out speech.

(Actually, you would do much better to say "... Justine, the site's founder, gave an ill-conceived speech that did little to attract anyone other than middle class Guardian-reading mums." If you don't have the grammar to pull off complicated sentences, my advice would be not to attempt them.)

The first thread I ever saw or commented on was the very well known in blogging circles post which Typecast made when she joined.

Your command of written English is barely above that of my 10-year-old daughter. If you are seriously going to call yourself a "social commentator" (no less), I sincerely recommend you to consider going back to formal education in English writing.
