Mumsnet censorship

[anonymouselephantx]

Mumsnet has been deleting any comment at all that criticises Charlie Kirk... just because he has died does not mean he is infallible. He is still an evil person who did and said evil things, contributed to so much suffering of families at the hands of ICE etc., mocked the Palestinians undergoing a genocide? Mumsnet, disturbing much? I had to get MN by email to delete a thread of mine as I was getting bullied and people were making personal attacks against me (the talk guidelines say personal attacks will be deleted, yet I had to BEG for this), but they are censoring anything anyone says about Charlie Kirk? Why are we not allowed to have freedom of speech and freedom to debate, especially when it is someone who did and said SO MUCH EVIL!

No. I don’t care about criticism. I care about personal attacks and bullying.

Then you’re quite a nasty piece of work.

Yep, a very angry person.

No, you care about criticism levelled at you. But you think you should be able to do it to others.

I don’t understand the logic of deploring someone’s actions and then acting in the same way.

Incitement to racial hatred is a definite problem.

Why are we not allowed to criticise someone just because they are dead? That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. He hurt so many people.

He held and broadcast appalling racist and misogynistic views and is celebrated by many including the President of the USA. I lament his leaving us as much as he would mine.

Absolutely this. It’s so wild. When did people become so stupid.

girl bye

It was quite possible say that you disagreed with him and thought he was pretty abhorrent, but that he still didn't deserve to be shot and to have sympathy with his grieving family. I did and wasn't deleted.

Crowing at someone's death is never a good look, whoever they are.

I only have sympathy for his children. His wife chose to marry a monster and clearly shared his views.

The scary thing is that you actually believe that you are a better person than he was.

You’re just embarrassing yourself now.

“Mumsnet has been deleting any comment at all that criticises Charlie Kirk” - there’s a thread currently about twenty pages long where around half the posts are critical of him.

And had he died of natural causes, I'd agree. But the manner of his death was horrific and deeply concerning. Its ok to say people shouldn't be shot for their views at a public debate.

Your posting is in bad taste. He just died and he has a family. Please have some respect for the man who just died. Yes he holds different views to me but that doesn't make him a bad person, please be respectful.

It’s considered good manners to leave it a few weeks at least.

look, I’d never heard of the bloke before today.

but I don’t approve of violence under (almost) any circumstances and believe me I am finding your posts almost viscerally disgusting.

So a man is shot in front of his wife and children but you don't feel any sympathy for the woman who has just had her world shattered because you don't like her views?

Seriously OP, are you a bit of a sociopath or do you just feel like your opinions make you superior to everyone who has an alternative viewpoint to you?

This. It’s in poor taste. Have any of the people rejoicing at his death, or making goady remarks, stopped to think for one second, that his kids might come across some of these comments when they’re a bit older?

I agree!!

OP, I think you are being so out of order.

He was a racist and a mysoginist. "Reject feminism and submit to your husband"

And he still didn't deserve being shot.
