To wonder if MNHQ 'guidelines' apply to celebrities?

This is not a TAAT, it's a thread about lots of threads.

I've noticed recently a fair few threads aimed at celebrities in really negative ways.
The latest I've just read is one about a very famous model where she was called insufferable and an attention seeking fuckwitt (amongst others) which could be construed as very hurtful and what I could class as a personal attack.
MNHQ is generally really hot on removing posts and threads which are deemed to be personal attacks when they are aimed at users - is this only enforced if personal attacks are used against another poster or does this just not apply to celebrities?

I'm not trying to have a go at anybody here, I'm genuinely curious because it just doesn't seem fair to me.
You never know who's reading the site after all!

Bibbity One of MN most respected longstanding posters' is called Anyfucker.

Swearing in nicknames is entirely unremarkable on MN.

If you can't say anything nice...

bibbitybobbityyhat · 03/02/2017 22:27

No, I know you haven't BillyButtFuck.

I was addressing other poster's comments to me.

Georgeofthejungle · 03/02/2017 22:28

wishing I had a more controversial user name

Georgeofthejungle · 03/02/2017 22:29

Ohhhhh THATS how I make it go bold Grin

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 03/02/2017 22:35

Maybe Georgelikesitupthejungle ? Wink

bibbitybobbityyhat · 03/02/2017 22:37

But AnyFucker is clever, isn't it? It has a double meaning and so she is the traditional Everyman of Mumsnet. I've always quoted AnyFucker as one of my favourite usernames on MN infact.

I've been a regular poster for 11 years Grouch. I don't object to sweary names at all, but BillyButtFuck isn't a sweary name. It's a porny name. Someone calling themselves MILF or SoapyTitWank or ShavenHaven or anything else that normalises porn and porn culture (I'm probably laughably behind the times here) would get a similar raised eyebrow from me.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 03/02/2017 22:42

If you've been here 11 years you should be well aware of what a GF is,and you're being a deliberate one.

BillyButtfuck · 03/02/2017 22:42

Did I really just read that? Hmm

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 03/02/2017 22:43

I'm sure there is a poster called shaven haven actually. Sounds familiar.

BillyButtfuck · 03/02/2017 22:45

Dame you're spot on.

I know exactly what a Goady Fucker is Dame.

ShavenHaven didn't stick around for long though, did she?

Has anyone summarised what Iona said yet? Was it "do report if you have any concerns"?

How would she explain their double standards re. Katie Price v Lily Allen for example?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 03/02/2017 22:56

Has anyone summarised what Iona said yet? Was it "do report if you have any concerns"? Why do you need a summary?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 03/02/2017 22:57

Does it matter how long ShavenHaven was here for?

BillyButtfuck · 03/02/2017 22:57

Perhaps if you hadn't derailed the thread with your needless comment we could have discussed the issue raised in the thread and you'd be up to speed.

GruochMacAlpin · 03/02/2017 22:58

As a poster of longstanding you should know better Bibbity

And as far as your comments re Billy's name go - you're reaching.

Highalert · 03/02/2017 23:00

It's a bit of a post penis beaker username.

GruochMacAlpin · 03/02/2017 23:01

Bibbity are you reading the thread at all? Trills summarised it for you earlier, though why it was necessary I have no idea - Iona's post was perfectly succinct.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 03/02/2017 23:05

It's been summarised, fuck knows why though as Ionas post was clear enough...

missbishi · 03/02/2017 23:26

Normalising porn? You do know Bowie liked the odd bongo mag himself don't you....

CockacidalManiac · 03/02/2017 23:42

That'll be the same Bowie that had sex with 15 year old girls.

CockacidalManiac · 03/02/2017 23:47

Although, missbishi, newsthump isn't a real news site; not unless there really are dangers involved with black market lettuce.

I'll have you know, bibbitybobbityyhat, that "BillyButtfuck" is a notable quote from the B-side of one of the limited-edition singles released (only in yellow vinyl) by Athletico Spizz 80, a punk/new wave band who were at their height in the early 70s. Now, I can't be absolutely sure that BillyButtfuck the MN poster was referencing that B-side quote, but I'm surprised that someone of your musical sophistication didn't notice it.

BlueFolly · 04/02/2017 01:10

BillyButtfuck normalising porn Confused. I don't think that name normalises porn at all. That's just silly.

BillyButtfuck · 04/02/2017 09:43

Well, this thread has certainly gone a lot differently than planned.
