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.

The zoom womb lens - for where the Sony don't shine?

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:07

I do believe Tesco have already implemented this.

The Self-Cervix Checkout. Mind you, don't be surprised if you get the 'please remove additional items' warning when you try it out.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:08

Maybe what they do, the odd people in the odd Nutella group, is give the nurse who does the smear tests a back handler.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:15

Isn't a chiropractor a back handler?

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:15

For the bargin price of 30.49 you can buy a nice rusty antique speculum from etsy www.etsy.com/uk/listing/527965066/antique-vaginal-or-anal-speculum?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=speculum&ref=sr_gallery-1-7

SluttyButty · 14/06/2018 18:20

Ive seen it all now, an antique speculum for your fanny, arse or both. Lovely 🤪

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:21

As fascinated by that antique speculum as I am, I cannot deny my amazement at the 30.49 price. I wonder which market segment would balk at 30.50?

niugboo · 14/06/2018 18:21

This whole thread needs a TW.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:22

For when you just can't decide what your best angle is.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:22

What does Anne Teak make of her speculum being sold on the internet?

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:23

£30.50 would be taking the piss. You'd have to be a right mug to pay that.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:24

If a shiny antique speculum is climatic, would that be called a mirror finish?

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:24

I think it's the antique catheter that's taking the piss

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:27

Grin I don't even want to know if thats a thing.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:29

Yes, I can see where you're coming from on the shiny speculum.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:30

After all of the trauma from the rusty speclum at least you can relax with a rejuvenating yoni steam www.etsy.com/uk/listing/527608352/relaxing-yoni-steam?ref=landingpage_similar_listing_bot-13

Just make sure to keep some warm socks on as per the description.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:41

Torn "isn't a chiropractor a back handler?".

Not in my village, there's a chiropractor that wears black gloves - I call him the man with murderer's hands. I feel that's quite catchy.

I wouldn't touch a rusty speculum with a barge pole. Although I do have a barge pole for sale. Except I'm not sure if it's a barge pole or a generic pole. It would kill a small dog if it fell on them. Maybe the chiropractor would like it.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:43

Niugboo what's a TW? Terry Wogan?

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:45

Isn't Mr Kowalski a generic Pole?

idlikemoresleep · 14/06/2018 18:46

@TattyFrench

what's a TW? Terry Wogan?

😂😂😂

I keep popping on this thread and genuinely have no clue what the feck it's about but that did make me laugh.

I used to love Terry Wogan

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:50

Shall we do a floral dance in homage to Sir Terence?

We could dance around Tatty's pole

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:52

Torn no, you've got the wrong Pole. Mr Kowalski lived at 434 Rivington Street, New York. Perhaps you're thinking of Professor Yaffle? Bagpuss has now been renamed Bag because people found 'puss' too offensive to snowflakes and people kept being triggered left right and centre.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:54

You could dance around my Pole but it might kill you.

I work for The Secret Cervix. Don't tell anyone.

I met Terry Wogan a few times, he was lovely.

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 18:57

#####TRIGGER WARNING####

niugboo · 14/06/2018 18:58

@tattyfrench brilliant question better answer! I wish it was Terry Wogan.

It’s a trigger warning. Any topic that may trigger must come with a TW. Unless of course you crossed admin in which case you are the trigger and therefore can’t be triggered. Make sense?
