I have rejoined just to ask this question.

[hathorisaskingaquestion]

Why are some members of this site allowed to get away with persistently being vile, pushing an agenda, defending the indefensible, upsetting other members, twisting versions of events and generally being nasty, and they do not get banned?

Not about any one particular poster, but I have noticed that some stronger "personalities" on here seem to be Teflon coated.

Why is this?

Why do the owners of this site want that kind of vile poster and do not seem to care about the number of truly decent kind posters who are being upset and driven off the site?

Sleep with Helen! gasp ::faints::

Oi! Unicorn you've got a pm!

Whoops @ Brith...get me to the Pedant's Corner for a lashing.

We all want to know who getorf means.

I don't work for MNHQ but that is because I am idle

I can honestly say I there are things I have done that I wouldn't have been able to have done without the collective parenting experience of Mumsnet.

the special needs board has been a godsend.

I lurk on other boards too, even if it's just to know other people are going through the same things as I am or to get an alternative view of the problem.

I cannae say usual - she inexplicably has loads of fans. She will post 76 horrible comments, and then 1 funny one and loads of people will say 'oh lol gladys'.

I think perhaps it is just me being a horrible old cow.

Sleep. Just sleep. Nekkid. Like Bastard Gandhi.

c'mon gerrof pms all round darling unless its me

Thanks for that TheDreaded. That makes me feel so so much better when I'm already in a bad place and dealing with a pile of shit and started this thread to find out why some people on here are so nasty.

Nekkid sleep! gasp gasp ::faints again::

at amillionyears reference to me. I haven't a clue who she is or why she could have any opinion of me at all on the strength of the four or five posts I've made in this name, one of which was a bad pun about bonsai so doesn't even count.

hath, rise above. float float on. see how the rest of us have just let it drift overhead?

And in walks one of the posters I would kill for a hide button for......

Of course it is you Hully.

You evil dementor, you.

Ah, man, Oaty, I was hoping it was a reference to Firefly...

::horribly disappointed::

Oatybeatie - oh let's just give up the pretence, darling.

Our secret is out.

Is Gladys the one you want to hide?

Gerroff, you so could be a Solicitor at Eversheds (but please don't, it's deathly dull and nowt like The Good Wife) with a name beginning with K.

Honest. Not everyone is called Humphrey St John there.

Don't apply for the Bar though, eh? Nothing like Silks.

Gladys and Ghandi. Oh and Pinot, cuz she called me a moron.

Ronnie Corbett could play Ghandhi.

getorf wants to hide Gladys inspite of the lolz.

Right.

GandHi

ok?

Pore ol Mohandas.

Hathor - If you're feeling fragile and have a lot on at the moment, it may be wise to save this convo for when you're feeling a bit better, or have it directly with MN as these threads always take on a life of their own.

Seriously, take care of yourself.
