I just wanted to say a huge thank you to MNers for their help and advice on my post yesterday which got picked up by DM - about unreasonable D H and public car humiliation . You were a huge, huge support. There isn't really anyone I can confide in in RL, so I am really thankful.
Also thank you to those who reported the thread to MN
I have namechanged. Hugely grateful to MN and all posters. Thank you. Flowers

Glad you got it sorted op and yes the daily mail are cunts of the highest order.

IwasateenagePIPassessor · 10/11/2016 17:39

Fucking blackshirt supporting parasites they are.

He might read a paper edition at a relative's house...but I don't know if the stolen MN threads are in printed versions or just online?

And the more you slag them off, the more time they will spend lifting threads.... I'm not sure why that is so difficult to get your head round

IwasateenagePIPassessor · 10/11/2016 17:42

They generally use it to fill up their shitty website, unless it's really juicy. They rarely make it to their wankrag of a printed paper. (I really must go back to my usual username when I'm ranty.)

Manumission · 10/11/2016 17:45

We need another outbreak of sweaty DM-dissing NNs

Manumission · 10/11/2016 17:46

SWEARY ^ 🙄

WiddlinDiddlin · 10/11/2016 17:48

They don't do it to piss people off just because we've slagged them off..

THey do it to fill up the website with 'new' content, and they can, because even though MN owns the copyright to anything published here, as long as a newspaper is only using small portions of text and quotes its source, thats legit use of copyrighted material.

CockacidalManiac · 10/11/2016 17:51

They don't pinch stuff because we're arsey; they're churnalists and have to fill all that shite somehow.

VintagePerfumista · 10/11/2016 17:52

Of course you can't copyright your threads. You're not writing copy, you're putting personal stuff on the world wide web.

What's the point of changing your name only to start another thread where it's very clear (from your thread title) who you are and what your story is?

Seems a bit daft, no?

giantpurplepeopleeater · 10/11/2016 17:53

You may want to consider another namechange???

If anyone comes here searching for tge post, this new post points out that you are now known aas SilverTraining. so it's easy to identify and link you to any new posts.

giantpurplepeopleeater · 10/11/2016 17:53

Cross post vintageperfumista!!

SilverTraining · 10/11/2016 17:54

Vintage: I just wanted to say thank you. Sorry for being so daft. :-(

OP posts:
SilverTraining · 10/11/2016 17:55

I am not intending to post on any other topics under this name; this namechange was purely to thank the posters who brought the DM article to MN attention and got the thread deleted.
Sorry for any offence caused.

rachelmi · 10/11/2016 17:57

Very lazy research by DM!!

WallisofWindsor · 10/11/2016 17:59

This is one of the best things I have ever bought Smile

Thank you so much to posters who reported my thread (picked up by DM)

They are arses of the highest order. No thought about endangering vulnerable women by sharing their stories to a broader audience than they intended. I know it's not illegal but it is immoral. This is (was) a safe space for many. Bloody daily fail drives a coach and horses through that with their lazy churnalism. Only solution I can think of is to choose less well known boards to post on AIBU is easy pickings.

giantpurplepeopleeater · 10/11/2016 18:01

I don't think you've offended anyone! I think (well I know in my case) we were just concerned about the name change not doing the trick and you still being openbto identification

Manumission · 10/11/2016 18:02

You're not daft, you're stressed Flowers

BakeOffBiscuits · 10/11/2016 18:07

Glad you are ok OPFlowers

If you want to start another thread, which you want to keep the DM from nicking, change your name to something like DailyMailFuckOffYouLazyTwats. That should do it!

WannaBe · 10/11/2016 18:08

Hmm OP 1, dm nil.

Emmageddon · 10/11/2016 18:12

Manumission sweaty is far better insult than sweary, in my opinion. Grin

The Metro seem to lift stories from the Daily Mail which has lifted the original story from Mumsnet so it's recycled news all round. Very lazy journalism indeed.

Yes the other thread alludes to your name change... apparently you are stupid to change name and announce who you are Hmm

VintagePerfumista · 10/11/2016 18:35

This thread is also now trending.
