@TrustTheGeneGenie Here are some very odd comments, in case they had passed you by.

‘Omg I'm actually chuckling to myself over this. Noble you are so defensive and so ready for a fight that you can't even see when someone supports you.’
‘It just doesn't seem worth the level of obsession when it has no practical effect whatsoever.’
‘you need your head examined.’
‘No. Schools are fine. Keep them open.
They can’t be that deadly as @noblegiraffe is still going strong months in. ‘
‘It’s quite disturbing to refer to oneself in the third person though.’
‘Why are you being flippant with the poster who said this can't be good for your mental health? This isn't the same as undermining you by questioning your mental health like you wrote in your first post so don't refer back to that as if they're doing what you predicted. Its a valid statement, and has to be true. You keep making these threads over and over as if people on Mumsnet somehow have the power to change things for you. People have written to their MPs but really that's the limit of what can be achieved when you keep the campaign to a single forum. I'm not sure it's going to change anything to keep on putting yourself forward to be verbally beaten up by the fringes when the vast majority here have already heard your evidence and agree with your position. In fact all it will probably achieve is frustration for you.’
‘Answer the question. Why are you ignoring it? Your OP implies people question your mental health as a way to undermine your argument and invalidate your position. The PP I refer to was not doing this. I was trying to explain that she had a reasonable point that continuing to be verbally abused online can't be good for anyone. This is not the same as saying you currently have a mental health issue that is affecting your viewpoint. Stop using this catchphrase as a way to tell people to "talk to the hand", it's such a silly way to get out of discussion especially when inappropriately used like this.
I actually agree with pretty much everything you say but by God you can be incredibly frustrating to read in some of these threads.’
‘I was trying to explain that someone commenting that these threads can't be good for noble's mental health is not necessarily undermining her, there could be a real impact on anybody's mental health when constantly faced with trolls online.’
‘As seems to the norm in these threads a lot of lurking posters are completely ignored when they try to interact....or torn apart for no reason. Its no wonder people are put off from engaging with the subject is it.’
‘Noone wants to shut you up noble, don't be paranoid.
You carry on posting if you want. It must be bloody exhausting though.’
‘Omg I'm actually chuckling to myself over this. Noble you are so defensive and so ready for a fight that you can't even see when someone supports you. I didn't say your thread was a pointless waste of time, I said limiting the campaign to Mumsnet can only achieve so much. The two are very different statements. And therefore I have not told you to shut up, I've pointed out a fact - for any of us posting online there will be a certain degree of abuse thrown at us and therefore it is not unreasonable for people to worry about this on your behalf if they support you.
This is why so many people are put off by these threads, there isn't much in the way of civil discussion to be had now it's descended into a warzone, anyone who dares stick their head above the parapet is piled on for often daft reasons that aren't really an issue.’
‘This isn't a campaign. It's a thread on mumsnet.’
‘Sometimes the things we need to hear aren't the things we like I'm afraid.’
‘I mean sure noble, you crack on. But it is clear that you are bothered by lots of people including me for some reason. shrug. ‘
