Is there a new thread about this?

This whole situation is utterly bizarre. People getting upset because they were called 'standoffish'? WTAF?

ISayOldChap · 24/05/2018 16:00

If anyone called someone a f*cking prick on MN they would have the post removed.

sparklefluff · 24/05/2018 16:03

You would love to reach out?

Go on then.

SugarBunker · 24/05/2018 16:03

can't help wondering if telegraph article etc was strategy to scapegoat MN threads to deflect attention from Clemmie Hooper's argy bargy on instagram and accusations of bullying thrown at her there.
if so, good job, it's worked.
TMWC not impressed that there is criticism on here of parents featuring their kids on instagram but she seems to have not read guardian article. criticism is on there and given by proper professionals studying this shit.

Hey Laura,

Maybe this gives you a clue as to why no one is jumping on your insta from mumsnet.

Might wanna have a word.

Oh my! And there we have it, completely got out of control.

Oddish · 24/05/2018 16:09

TMWC no one has been nasty. No one has said ‘look at her’..? If you say it like you see it why is no one else allowed to have the same philosophy?

ISayOldChap · 24/05/2018 16:09

Someone making another knife "joke" under the TMWC post. Are stabbing "jokes" the latest thing? No wonder society is so fucked up when stab jokes are considered a normal response to a petty dispute on social media. These threads have been good in one regard - I will not let my children have access to SM for as long as I possibly can because if adults are saying that kind of stuff, what hope do we have for children?

kirinm · 24/05/2018 16:09

That sort of comment (in the picture) would get you reported to the police on Twitter. It's not funny at all.

ScipioAfricanus · 24/05/2018 16:10

Good Lord! Presumably that violates Instagram policies (threats of violence). These people and their privilege - when SM is part of the rise of knife violence among adolescents, how nice to threaten someone as a grown woman in such a way!

ScipioAfricanus · 24/05/2018 16:10

Sorry - cross posted with everyone else there.

PavlovaPrincess · 24/05/2018 16:11

Ought to have known CH would be all over that post.

She's had a grudge against MN since one of these threads called her out for bullying someone who left a negative comment on one of her channels. Any chance she gets to stick the boot in and she's there 🙄

I have to agree it's all getting a bit tit for tat, though nothing on these threads has come close to the stuff the grammers are posting. The best (and most infuriating) thing to do would be just to ignore them all and go back to not naming names.

Oddish · 24/05/2018 16:11

Wow sparkle where is that from?

Sorry but lol go all Danny Dyer? What does that mean? Rhyming slang or something else?

Kisbot · 24/05/2018 16:11

This has floored me. I used to like her.

Laura's grid post.

I'm pissed off with it now so have posted it on my own insta stories.

sparklefluff · 24/05/2018 16:12

Kisbot, that was going to be my next screenshot

ScipioAfricanus · 24/05/2018 16:12

I think these women think it’s ‘cool’ and youthful to use ‘stabbing’ as a threat, because they have heard young people use it. Like people who are far too old (in my opinion) saying ‘on fleek’ a few years ago. The difference, that this phrase actually relates to killing people, seems to have escaped them.

Kisbot · 24/05/2018 16:17

My post was from TMWC thread. The whole thing is so nasty. I can’t think how anyone would risk a different opinion on there.

EeebyMum · 24/05/2018 16:17

CH thinks she’s being cool but she’s just bloody rude.

Kisbot · 24/05/2018 16:18

Sorry Sparkle👍🏻

MarshaBradyo · 24/05/2018 16:19

Eek it’s gone too crazy

Oddish · 24/05/2018 16:19

Didn’t realise she’d put a post up. I don’t think my comment in her screenshot deserves a stabbing. Could be wrong.

ElspethFlashman · 24/05/2018 16:20

It's horrific. CH has always been like that though. Haven't followed her in years and my life is much better for it. She's like a tanned Mitchell brother.

ISayOldChap · 24/05/2018 16:20

Yep can't think why people don't "reach out" on Instagram

ScipioAfricanus · 24/05/2018 16:20

Seems reasonable, Oddish. Quid pro quo. Wink
