AIBU to be upset about a facebook group

AIBU staying in a facebook group?

I have had a quick name change!

I'm a member of a large facebook group for natural parents who are also science aware. This group has been a fantastic resource and support network but its all gone wrong. The people running the page all have their own issues and are ganging up on other members for what seems like no reason.

I have thought long and hard about leaving the group because it seems like playground bullying but i just cant seem to do it.

They are great when you need your hand holding and will help you with any problem you could think of. They have a fantastic support network of Nutella addicts and people with difficulties like ADHD and depression I'm not sure there there is a better community.

BUT posting in it can be like stepping onto a nest of vipers. People having mental health problems can be kicked out for no good reason OR supported with people being sent round to check on them or taxis being called and paid for by the group when fleeing a husband. It just depends if you are in with the right crowd or not.

There are many LGBTQ members and there are a lot who are in relationships or who have experimented with eachother and this is causing tension on the group.

I cant seem to leave but i can't seem to stay and I don't even know these people in real life.

puts down his Ferrero Rocher balls

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 00:18

You don't want to know what they do with the balls.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 00:21

They put 'em in a plastic box along with 10 others and them send 'em to all corners of the earth!

My eyes are watering already.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 00:24

The ambassador is the one behind it. What he's done to those poor little defenseless balls of cow pus, brings a tear to my eye.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 00:33

The cow with its pussy fat came to us
on an old electric milk float
It brought some honey, was so damn funny
cos we're vegan and they didn't take note
The cow looked up to the priestess above
its chew was a little bizarre
My milk is pussy, and fussy, my love
what a crappy milk by far
ooh aar,
by far!
the crappiest milk pus by far!

I've RTFT and Confused

Nutella, red squirrels, wet sandals, sex with the leader, Santa is Satan, eggs are evil Barbara is a .... well, let's not go there, and something about salmon?

Are you all on glue?

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 01:14

The high priestess has called us to gather. We will be back shortly with pitchforks and torches to hunt the non-believers

Ladybirdbookworm · 14/06/2018 01:49

All the talk of Nigella made me want something nutty
I may have just eaten more than one snickers while reading the full thread
So pleased I don't like milk

idlikemoresleep · 14/06/2018 01:59

Only skimmed over this thread but wow 😲 😂😂

Has anyone explained what natural parenting is? Am I an unnatural one?!

Awholelottanutella · 14/06/2018 02:02

I come from the secret land of SANP.

We have sacrificed the OP to the Nutella god. They weren’t a virgin but they were all we had to hand.

Sex parties are on Fridays at midnight and we use empty Nutella jars with tea lights in to create mood lighting. Robes are not optional, sorry.

I don’t know who Barbara is, perhaps we sacrificed her last week to the Hovis god to keep our cupboard full of toastie white bread for our ceremonial Nutella on toast. It’s really quite hard to keep up to date with all these sacrifices now.

Ex members may have been kicked out for being extra salty as it spoils the pus milk we need for our baptisms and communion ceremonies.

I hope that answers some of your questions.

Or in reality the OP is throwing an epic tantrum over a facebook group and people are living for the internet drama. The op has probably created half the “I used to be a member they’re all awful” accounts.

I would pick half of this post to believe and disregard the other half, a bit like a pick your own ending book.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 14/06/2018 03:08

Interesting thread to say the least!

sugarnotsweetener · 14/06/2018 04:02

Funniest thread in ages 😂

Zoflorabore · 14/06/2018 04:43

This thread has upset my morning cup of tea and the following 15 I have throughout the day no doubt

But, utterly fascinatingly batshit crazy.

I think I would be suitable for membership.
Can I be nominated? I like Nutella and have been rather ahem adventurous in my time.

Will await the call... don't leave me hanging
for too long though.

And this is what sets MN apart from the other place.
We have threads like this Grin

It sounds a lot like Trolls With Wooden Spoons. In fact, I bet it's a lot of the same people. Is it US-based?

Kokeshi123 · 14/06/2018 05:20

fairplayforwomen.com/misogyny_hate_silencing/

It is mentioned here (can find very few online references).

Sounds very po-mo libfem. What with the three-way relationships and all that.

LiteraryDevil1 · 14/06/2018 07:09

Well the Facebook page is no longer available it seems!

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 07:13

Has anyone explained what natural parenting is?

BARBARA tried. And look what happened to her. Just keep your robe out of it yeh.

Before we put our cloaks, on and really get down to good day's Nutella based sex culting, could someone please just do a quick diagram explain who the fuck Barbara is?!

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 08:04

Well, I dunno, but...

what the fuck is going on?!

aviculara · 14/06/2018 08:07

@niugboo I can't say I've seen that at all...
What I have seen is more conservative types joining and pearl clutchers, and people being called out on their bullshit a lot more since Brexit/Trump etc

tccat · 14/06/2018 08:10

Apparently the Ferrero Rocher are used as substitute Ben Wa balls, the ultimate goal being to crack the nut inside
I myself have two of the large ones you get at Xmas what with having 75 kids
I'm hoping to get down to " Malteaser" level eventually

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 08:10

They've ruined my breakfast with their anti cow's milk stance.
Corn flakes ruined by corny flakes.

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 08:12

Eat your pus. It's good for you.
