Women presumably who don't have a certain sense of humour, or don't agree with certain (long standing) posters being described as beige admin workers who nag their ugly husbands, who were friendless at school, wear cheap clothes, have no fun in their sad little joyless lives etc etc Literally paragraphs and paragraphs of nastiness.

This is some of the most vile and misogynistic stuff I have ever read on MN from other women. These kind of comments normally come from trolls and MRA invasions. Is this really what MN has become? Does everyone think that this sort of shit should stand? What happened to the fucking sisterhood?

I am astounded to be quite honest.

Course he is usual. But all it takes for evil to triumph etc etc

Why would anyone?

But why shouldn't Pan have posted on that thread?

EchoBitch · 30/03/2013 18:36

I go on the adoption ones very occasionally,haven't seen anything nasty,but i suppose some people do it for fun. Sad

Hullygully · 30/03/2013 18:37

oh the irony lemon, the marvellous irony

MadameDefarge · 30/03/2013 18:37

treatment of pan. in my opinion he was goaing another poster then protesting all innocence. i now accept he genuinely didnt realise that posting on thread started by someone there was an existing history with, MNHQ had already realised there was a major issue betweem them and asked both to steer clear of each other in the interests of harmony, was simply a mistake. and pleased he backed off with such graciousness when reminded.

GetOeuf · 30/03/2013 18:37

I couldn't believe it when someone said that people deliberately troll adoption boards. Really how low can you go.

I think the Pan stuff has the potential to become a massive scrap and whether or not that would be a healthy thing to happen I would feel bad for Porto because that's what this discussion will become about.

And as I've said maaaaaany times already, this thread has been a rather positive one.

Would be a shame I think.

Pagwatch · 30/03/2013 18:41

Ah, I thought there was some hope that most people might be reaching a level of accord but it seems not.
I am off to bed.
Good night.

lemonmuffin · 30/03/2013 18:41

Yep. I'm glad you can see it Hully.

Portofino · 30/03/2013 18:42

Pan? Where does he come into this. I thought he liked to cause disruption in FWR?

MadameDefarge · 30/03/2013 18:43

i dont think it been positive. but hey, no biggie. still not understanding why a thread about a thread was left up when there was a perfectly good continuation thread to post on. shrug.

Portofino · 30/03/2013 18:43
