It appears we haven't quite finished workshopping the ethical issues of 'influencing' on Instagram: disclose of advertising, the exploitation of minors and the similarities to MLM schemes.

Goodness, MoD really is excitable- so that's how you deal with dissent!

When has disagreeing ever been embarrassing - and then to be asked to leave the thread 😂😂😂

NeverWas · 16/05/2018 22:13

Anyalovesrose don't you dare ever come on here accusing anyone of bullying you again. Laura legitimately called you out and you removed the # about KK.

Boredandtired · 16/05/2018 22:13

@beansandsausage thanks for the tip! Do d you read her post 'I hope you find the happiness you pretend to have'?
I've followed too.
I unfollowed FOD before but then a post got promoted and I got sucked back in.

Laura Hesketh stories deserve a high five.

EeebyMum · 16/05/2018 22:16

Though I wish she’d just replied with a heart emoji

Confusssed · 16/05/2018 22:16

Shame they don't have an aromatherapist speaking at that mental health workshop day. You know, to give it some gravitas Hmm

DS with ASD here too. I haven’t seen ASD mentioned much on IG but maybe I’m just missing it? Not that I would want it to be instafied, but there are a few of us here and I haven’t seen any “over there”.

I too have just discovered Laura Hesketh and she seems more my kind of account.

NeverWas · 16/05/2018 22:17

FlyingBird you wouldn't, my IG would be a f*cking bore. I promise I'd proof read before posting there though Wink

Reboot · 16/05/2018 22:17

Apparently KK blocked her. Which is why all the messages between her and Laura disappeared? Confused

Another #ASDmamabird!

I wonder if having real stuff to worry about makes you a tell less tolerant to bullshit stuff?

What the fuck is going on? I just stepped away to
remove my olaplex and I am totally confused. What does Kim Kardashian have to do with that thread? I get she blocked MOD but dud she delete MOD's comments or was it THE FILTER.....?!

NeverWas · 16/05/2018 22:26

Yes absolutely MadameGrizzly.

Sorry I don't want to out myself on here - dunno who's lurking - but I hear you all.

Oh dear. Mother of Daughters clearly didn't read Mutha_pukka's post yesterday about the use of the laughing crying emoji!
So MOD tries to roast KK gets blocked, blocks people who disagree with her, and rather than stop bullying has popped back all evening with little digs and jollies on her bullying post. Not exactly 'be nice' is it.

I just completely love the fact that Kim Kardashian is implicated somehow in all of this. Now is there anyway she can be shoe hotbed into the Lavendar Flannel Wirkshop....?!
