Unreasonable

104 replies

Pankhurst09 · 10/09/2017 01:42

So I have titled this category "unreasonable". because I truly find a significant cohort of this site 'unreasonable' I quantify this from a few genuine posts resulting in what only could be described as bullying, and the 'admins' did little to discourage the bullyiing, in fact they seemed to encourage it. If the topic was not to the taste of the
group, then they circled like Vultures and threatened, and put down until the post was removed. Even when very legitimate
Concerns of bullying were highlighted they were ignored. I therefore ask, am I unreasonable to think that free speech and genuine progression in ideas and discussions is fruitless in a site like mumsnet?

Definitely not sockpuppetting!

Just happened to notice Heebie on other threads making unnecessarily rude comments and thought I'd respond to ones she made to a poster on here.

HeebieJeebies456 · 14/09/2017 14:24

definitely sock puppeting!

comments on other threads are specific to that thread/conversation only.

Iamsoconfused17 · 14/09/2017 14:25

Then report it.

HeebieJeebies456 · 14/09/2017 14:27

you're the one with issues seeing as you felt the need to come here to 'have a go' at me about comments made on a different thread Grin

carry on - you're proving this OP right Grin

HeebieJeebies456 · 14/09/2017 14:27

why - doesn't bother me what you choose to do with your energy Grin

Iamsoconfused17 · 14/09/2017 14:30

your incorrect use of the word "definitely" in context to something you can not be "definitely" sure of makes me not take you seriously Heebies Grin

FrustratedTeddyLamp · 14/09/2017 14:31

Is this Niall Mccrae? Grin

HeebieJeebies456 · 14/09/2017 14:34

being pedantic doesn't make YOU right either Grin

HeebieJeebies456 · 14/09/2017 14:36

It doesn't bother me whether you take me seriously or not Smile

Iamsoconfused17 · 14/09/2017 14:37

Well, in this context only one of us can be absolutely certain whether I'm sockpuppetung or not so yes, I am right and you are wrong. HTH

HeebieJeebies456 · 14/09/2017 14:38

It's an OPINION iam.....therefore it cannot be right or wrong Grin

Iamsoconfused17 · 14/09/2017 14:42

Talking to you brings a certain George B Shaw quote to mind... so I shall love you and leave you in the pen. Thanks for the Grins

HeebieJeebies456 · 14/09/2017 14:45

There are plenty of quotes that describe you behaviour and attitude perfectly.....but then i don't need them to validate my opinion Grin

Ladies keep it pleasant please.

Xeneth88 · 14/09/2017 14:57

Netmums op. They cater to delicate flowers alot better.

shirtyQwerty · 14/09/2017 14:59

that depends if MN royalty descend on the thread.

I assume that some kind of alert pops up for certain topics on feminist (and other) boards and they all descend to tell us how wrong we are.

Gorgosparta · 14/09/2017 17:04

heebies typing a word in capitals do not make it a fact.

If you think i or someone else is sockpuppeting. Report me.

If you think i am bullying you, report me. The function is available to everyone.

Your posts are rude. You name call. You constantly post about people bullying you but dont want to admit the truth. You know its the truth, thats why you are throwing nasty comments about.

Thats fine. But again, dont expect people to just roll over and take it. Or people to accept that people are bullies because they dont agree with you.

YOU posted on a public forum. Therefore people will respond. If you dont want to debate a point with someone. Ignore them. Its simple.

upperlimit · 14/09/2017 17:15

Netmums op. They cater to delicate flowers alot better

Yeah, they do. I haven't been on there for years but official helpers (use to/still do) pop on with sympathetic posts produced almost exclusively from a selection of cut and paste coo-ing noises.

I'd rather face the wrath of aibu than the dead behind the eyes performed embrace of netmums.

FlissMumsnet · 14/09/2017 18:51

In Olivia's words.....ahem

HeebieJeebies456 · 14/09/2017 22:55

You constantly post about people bullying you

I can have my opinion and state it "YOU are behaving like a bully"....and i don't need to report it. Your opinion doesn't affect me like that.

You constantly post about people bullying you
Grin ONE THREAD! Grin THIS ONE!

Only because it was the appropriate thread to voice that opinion! Grin

YOU posted on a public forum. Therefore people will respond. If you dont want to debate a point with someone. Ignore them. Its simple.

I haven't shied away from responding to accusations have i?
It's obvious i'm not afraid to continue this dialogue.....you're just not happy that i don't agree with you Grin

If i've responded to people accusing me of being a bully on other threads - that's my response to them - not ME bringing it up! Grin

I've actually said the same as you - if people don't like my views and don't have anything to contribute other than namecalling me - they too are free to simply 'ignore' me.....Smile
