I can't update just now but here's the new thread. I will update later when I can.

OP posts:

I agree with you, Bit

I’m only saying that’s how it seems to have been interpreted. Not that I don’t think you have a point!

But it is true that you can and should just stay away!

SoddingUnicorns · 08/06/2018 15:52

Yet I was the one who got told off for it. Go figure.

Nope, you actually told me to fuck off. Which makes it different apparently. I don’t know which of your comments got deleted, I didn’t report it, but it has been.

It’s not difference of opinion to sneer at and belittle the OP, to insinuate she’s attention seeking and to be snide. That’s not a difference of opinion, it’s downright nastiness.

There seems to be an abundance of keyboard warriors on MN just now who just enjoy making other people feel like shit for whatever reason. What they get out of it I have no idea. It’s fairly pathetic tbh.

Why is there so much aggression? There is no need to be so angry Hmm

Lizzie48 · 08/06/2018 16:05

The OP definitely hasn't been attention seeking. She's updated when there has been something to tell us, but she isn't the one who is looking for drama. Softzilla is the one who has been looking for a fight, and she's been frustrated by the OP's unwillingness to oblige.

That's not to say that some posters on this thread haven't been feeding the drama, but I think the majority have been offering their support to the OP in what has been a very stressful time.

Amatullah · 08/06/2018 16:10

This is a safe place for op and if she feels the need to continually update us then thats her choice and its welcomed. From what ive seen Op has been measured in her responses and has taken good advice when shes needed it. Its a shame youve seen it other wise.

Anyways op i hope today has gone well if you did attend x

WellThisIsShit · 08/06/2018 16:18

Not directed at one poster in particular, but generally, I don’t think it’s very fair or kind to tell the OP that she can’t post anymore or get anymore support for her weird but nevertheless unsettling ongoing harassment.

It’s not really on to decide when another person has had ‘enough attention’ on mumsnet is it?

Attention isn’t a finite resource on mumsnet or a previous commodity that needs rationing by someone else.

Also not really on to blame the poster when her threads have become ‘popular’. Is that something OP’s should be told off or shamed for? Is there an optimum level of popularity beyond which the OP is clearly up to something nefarious or unhealthy in some way, and should be shut down immediately to ‘protect’ unspecified others?

I’m not keen on shutting people down like that when they haven’t broken any rules.

I hope the OP will feel able to carry on posting if she wants to... But I think all this has been pretty successful in achieving the aim of stopping the OP from being allowed to post on her own thread

Nicely out Wellthisisshit 👏

So how can you block a number but get a “system report” for how many times they’ve tried to be in touch?

DB works in the technology/mobile phone industry but has never heard of this. Would love to find out!

How was the group today, OP? Hope all was well.

Oh for goodness sake! Put!

I don't believe that you can.

ParellelReality · 08/06/2018 16:25

There really is one born every minute..

Weezol · 08/06/2018 16:38

It's not a 'block', it's a redirect. Same as marking an email address as spam and filtering to the spam folder rather than than the inbox.
The data is still downloaded, but extra actions are required to access it.

I have an app called Truecaller which doesn't answer blocked numbers but leaves them in your call history. Also works for SMS too. If you set it up right, it can also check numbers (uses data) and not answer known spammers.

OP, do let everyone know how things went today. The vast majority of people on these threads are interested in the outcome, have invested their time posting offering support and advice and don't think you are attention seeking. Don't let the vocal minority stop you from posting on your own thread.
