Unreasonable

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?

Hi Pankhurst,

We've had a few reports about this thread and thought we'd better take a look.

We're sorry that you feel you've been bullied, and are especially sorry that you feel we at MNHQ did little to discourage the bullying. However, we've taken a look at your most recent thread and can see only one post that you reported to us; soon after this you sent a request that we take the whole thread down, which we fairly quickly did.

We can see one other thread from a year ago which we also deleted. Here's what we posted on the thread back then, which we feel bears repeating here -

We think we're quite a nice bunch, on the whole, and we're sorry if you feel differently, Pankhurst. We work pretty hard to make the site a friendly and decent place for folks to post, and most people think we strike the right balance (most of the time!)

In our defence, you haven't actually reported any posts on this or the other thread. If you feel that someone has breached our Talk Guidelines then please drop us a report so we can take a look. We're a post-moderated site and there are thousands of threads running at any time, so unless we receive a report about a particular post or a thread, the chances are we won't have seen it.

We do ask our members to use the same courtesy when posting messages on Talk that they would use when speaking to someone face to face, and generally speaking, most people are happy to comply.

As other posters have pointed out, AIBU does tend to be the topic that provokes the more harsh responses, so it might be an idea to post elsewhere on the site.

Above all, please report any posts which you feel are crossing the line - we've gone back to the good old days and are doing our level best to reply to every report. Smile
