What threads do you always hide?

[Acc0untant]

If any!

If I scroll through and see anyone ask about accountancy help, HMRC advice, tax return, accounts etc I just hide them. I can't stand seeing 90% of the "advice" on those threads being absolute bollocks.

I used to hide the divorce ones when I was going through mine, I didn't want extra headspace going into it.

What is the more nuanced conversation we need to have around why men should get access to women's sports, services and spaces? Genuine question.

Same . The inheritance threads are fascinating. There’s a reason why the plots of so many works of literature centre around inheritance.

On the evidence of this thread, I’m feeling pretty comfortable with my decision to hide trans discussions!

Good.

I dont hide, just ignore largely unless its massively pissing me off.

Anything about gender and biological sex, even threads where someone has managed to make a point about it on an unrelated thread. Just not interested.

Benefit and disability bashing ones, especially the horrid ones about six year olds with severe SEN being badly managed in schools being blamed for their behaviour. When the problem is a lack of school places and reasonable adjustments.

Parent bashing ones when people have not even met them or set foot in their home and makes judgements based on a quick interaction by the OP.

The private school ones. Jesus when will they end? I dislike Rachel Reeves too and don't think she's making good choices, but don't be so fucking misogynistic.

Blatant troll and bot threads.

People are often motivated by greed and resentment. It's played out in literature and on here.

Oh and the sycophantic threads about Trump and Musk. Bonkers.

The “handmaid” insult really makes me laugh. Feminists using gendered insults to shut women up (especially a term heavily coded for sexual slavery) is quite something!

I also completely ignore (here and in real life) anybody using the term “woke” unironically.

Same. Now I found the functionality. Came in very useful yesterday!

Gaza ones. The anti semitism on those is awful.

The private school threads are a bit hilarious at times. But easier to leave the woe is us to wallow in it together. Tone deaf to their privilege.

Just because someone can reply doesn't mean they should.

We don't talk about abortion on the pregnancy loss threads, we don't talk about being white on the black mumsnetter threads, we don't talk about spending thousands on holidays on threads where someone's asking how to get of debt.

There are different topics on Mumsnet because it's generally understood that things work much better if topics are separated.

This light-hearted thread is being derailed because nobody (on both sides!!) doing the derailing is grown up enough to just either stop replying or to realise that you can't always change someone else's opinion and rise above whatever you disagree with.

I dont hide them, i just don't read them if i am not interested.

You can’t control what other people post, whether you started the thread or not.

Discussion digresses, goes off on tangents etc etc and your examples aren’t what’s happening here. If someone posted ‘I hide the thread on rich privileged arseholes who hate poor people’ when they actually mean ‘Private schooling’ you can be assured that those who don’t actually hate poor people they just want their kid to go to a private school might have something to say, have a bit of push back and the workings as to why people lazily say that.

Is it light hearted. I say it’s just another excuse for a thread to slag something off. Like the unpopular opinions threads that rear its head every so often.

It's not about controlling what people post. I can't stop you. Doesn't mean any of you derailing this thread aren't being ridiculous and rude.

People actually have said they hate Private school threads. And no, the thread hasn't been derailed by Private school parents. Or RF regulars.

There's only one group who've piled on, derailing the thread.🤷‍♀️

I’m responding to posts insinuating that because I post on a board that wants female sex based rights I’m anti-trans. That’s fucking rude.

It’s not derailing when they’re responding to specifics. And what they point while it flies right over your head. You were cheering along with everyone else about the ruling yesterday 🤣.

We’re not “insinuating”, we’re very directly calling it exactly what it is. If you don’t like that, I suggest you look inwards.

There are certain topics where once you’ve read one thread , you’ve read them all. It’s the same scenario over and over again , step-parenting threads and child free weddings are two that spring to mind.

Oh and also in terms of what I avoid - I always avoid the dog hating threads 🥺

Trans bullshit. But it's impossible to hide, as they trawl all threads with their tedious, repeated nonsense. 'Protecting women's rights'. Well gee, thanks. I'm a woman and can protect myself, I'm no shrinking wallflower, scared of my own shadow, always 'intimidated' by everything, shaking and crying in the corner. I don't want to be associated and protected by these shrieking, deranged harpies. All I feel for you is disdain. Go kiss Rowland's ass some more and leave normal people be.

Otherwise, royal family threads. Just as tedious.

I actually agree with the wanting sex based rights. I agree with the supreme court ruling. I'm sure we would agree on many things but it doesn't change the fact that if people wanted to read or talk about it they'd look at the feminism board. It's just been message after message from a few posters on here that are posting outwith the spirit of the thread and it's really boring, just take it all elsewhere. No, nobody can force you, but it doesn't mean it's not really fucking annoying.

As the usual posters have so beautifully demonstrated on this v thread.

Bore off Tandora. You think humans can change sex and know better than Sir Robert Winston. Get a grip.

Irony is a bit like goldy or bronzy, only made of iron, isn't it?
