Good anti-flaming tactic there sprouts .

Think we should all de-bunk over there are report the ignorant mare.

Firstly, you don't need to apologise for looking at a site other than MN you know. You don't give Carrie and Justine your soul and rights to your firstborn child when you join here as far as I'm aware.

Secondly, I'd probably have sent the poster a message (or even posted on the thread) explaining why you found her comment offensive. These kind of things are usually said in ignorance rather than spite, so I would aim to educate rather than punish.

But her life won't end just 'cause you reported her post. You've done it now, so don't worry about it.

YANBU to report any offensive post on another website

BUT

Why bray about it here?

I don't understand why, unless it's an opportunity for you to say oh look at the huns, aren't they stoopid, let's point and laugh

??

ilovesprouts · 08/04/2010 10:31

QuintessentialShadow · 08/04/2010 10:34

Why did you not take the opportunity to educate her right there and then on the thread?

Why bring it up here?

tethersend · 08/04/2010 10:35

Why not just challenge her about it?

I would have said something, but wouldn't have reported it.

ilovesprouts · 08/04/2010 10:36

i did leave her a reply and so did another poster ,but the post has been removed now

why would you be flamed for going on netmums. Its a fucking website, not a BNP recruiting forum

BoysAreLikeDogs · 08/04/2010 10:48

I just don't get why you are dragging a grievance from one forum to another

Please can you explain why you think we need to know what happened

tethersend · 08/04/2010 11:01

That's what they want you to think, porcamiseria

CheekyVimtoGal · 08/04/2010 11:04

I also use another parenting site that i am a moderator on. What an insensitive cow!

BoysAreLikeDogs · 08/04/2010 11:06

yy insensitive, unkind, thoughtless too.

But why heft your bosoms about it here on MN.

Baffled

Maleeka · 08/04/2010 13:36

Sorry still laughing at "heft your bosoms" , i must remember to use that phrase more

Also not sure why you have SHOUTED the fact that you got one over on netmums on here, but i guess i'd have been peeved too.

ilovesprouts · 08/04/2010 17:09

is there a rule that you cant post anything from others sites then ,i did not post to get one over on netmums i wish id of never posted on here now the point was sn kids are normal too !!

you are so right
my dd is very normal

BoneyBackJefferson · 08/04/2010 18:25

"the point was sn kids are normal too"

maybe that was the other posters point too.

crumpette · 08/04/2010 18:36

OP I'd have probably left the post there but commented on it, to educate her and to make the point that sn children are just as normal as any other children. I get really riled by any sn or disability comments- people don't mean offence on the whole but some do put their foot right in it regularly, so you're right to be upset by it but I hope the poster knew why you were upset.

ilovesprouts · 08/04/2010 21:25

no she asked for a normal mums group she was 25 ,she dint fit in to young mums ,single mums .old mums etc... a normal kids group !!not for sn kids neither what does she want her own personal group fgs ...

OH YES YOU DO!!!!! [WINK]

GothAnneGeddes · 08/04/2010 21:30

I hereby declare this thread worthwhile just for the usage of the phrase "heft your bosoms".

Erm, to everyone going "why are you going on about it on here nim nim nim nim", are we extending that to every AIBU not to do with MN?
