I'm sorry to have to break it to you, but there is definitely a gender discrimination thing going on here. Some of you will have noticed that I have been repeatedly accused of being anti-feminist, that I have repeatedly been accused of being that sad little prick from facebook. That I have been called various names. You've probably also noticed that I haven't broken a single rule, I've not personally called any member a name, or posted anything nasty towards any individual. But I've now had two accounts banned, I've had posts deleted. I've had an entire thread deleted, because I dared to create a post calling into question whether this site is operating a gender discriminationj policy towards men.

You'll note the published policy about trolls:
Unfortunately, it's not always immediately obvious whether a poster is, in fact, a troll. We all tend to be a bit suspicious of new folks posting things of a sensitive or inflammatory nature, but we would rather Mumsnet erred on the side of giving folks the benefit of the doubt and risked being made to look a bit foolish than pounce on someone who turns out to be genuinely in need of help. We hope you agree.

I'm afraid that's not true, in reality the women can go around making all sorts of nasty personal remarks about the men, but even if a man (such as me) stays within the rules, and doesn't make nasty personal remarks he will be banned should he dare to say something the women object to.

I am living proof of this.

I have been banned twice without the administrators of this site having a single piece of evidence to support their claims of me being a troll. You've seen me repeatedly ask the women making that accusation against me to show some evidence from any one of my post that in anyway demonstrates me behaving like a troll on this board. They have completely failed to do so. I have asked via email, and only received a response which basically says that because I stated that I didn't care about what any women thinks or feels... in direct response to a woman breaking the rules and making yet another unfounded allegation against me, that the administrators 'feel' I 'might' be a troll.

That's their reason for banning me... despite there being nothing in any post of mine which constitutes trolling behaviour towards any other member of this board.

Expect this thread to be deleted completely, in line with their attempts to hide away from the membership the truth of how they are operating gender based discrimination on this site.

This account will undoubtedly be banned and I shall be back to point this out all over again... until the administrators of this site have the decency to show some honesty and admit that this is exactly how this site is being operated to the membership.

why don't you try the screwfix forum or summat?

You know what love, if everyone is telling you that you are a knob, chances are that you are a knob. If you have had 2 accounts deleted, that should tell you that its not them, its you.

Just saying

So are you a bloke then? I avoid the femanist section, so have not seen any of the posts you speak of.

MmeLindor. · 28/08/2011 20:52

Lissie speaks sense.

If it smell ... no. Don't think I will go there.

Can I ask you something. Why do you so desperately want to post here? And why do you wish to re-engage with posters who disagree with you.

There is no gender bias on MN. Some of the posters are male. And very well respected.

I'd like to know the answer to that too. If mumsnet offends you so much, why keep coming back? Or are you on a one-man crusade to put women back in their place?

LauraIngallsWilder · 28/08/2011 20:59

Why not just accept that you are a man? And join a forum that is primarily for men

Far more likely to find yourself amongst like minded folk then

I cant imagine many women are made to feel welcome on forums aimed at men so why are you expecting special treatment here (not that I mind if men post on MN, but I do mind if they are annoying as your OP is!)

Also you clearly need to develop a real social life

You again? I'm not even going to bother asking you the questions I asked you last time because you never answer them anyway.

Just go away. Go and find another forum that you disagree with and pester them.

MmeLindor. · 28/08/2011 21:02

Good point, Laura.

If I go over to Pistonheads and complain about the bad language, would that be ok? Or start threads telling them that they should really have more interesting threads, cause cars are boring?

You don't actually have to post on MN. It is optional.

Are you the guy running the anti-Mumsnet campaign on FB? Hmm

You sound upset at being banned, why do you bother if your posts don't go down well. It's like unrequited love If your not wanted, your not wanted.
