OK MN I'm calling you on this one

[EuniceDumbsdown]

Regular troll name changer starts nasty thread on Style & Beauty. You get masses of reports - even one from me! But you are leaving it because

"the OP is a long time Mumsnetter, who from time to time writes mischievous thread like this one.

She's a good egg though, and we know she doesn't mean any harm. With this in mind, we're going to leave the thread as it is"

So she deliberately starts a goading thread about fat people (again) but that's okay because she's deemed harmless not hurtful.

And I'm not fat so not taking it personally just asking for MNHQ to be consistent.

This is the first goady fuckers thread that I can remember.

Goady

Came from a missive from MNHQ themselves. In regard to ops done to deliberately inflame.

The fucker bit followed on naturally.

yes, it is goady but I am struggling to get worked up about it. She has always posted stuff like this and although it is goady, it is done to stir things up. Not with real malice against a particular poster.

V different to those who post goady attacks in order to get others banned. Where it is more personal, if you see what I mean.

Arteggs, no, they were not clogs. They were... I can't actually... The horror... the horror...

I urge you to look at the thread. I'd link them here, but it would be the posting equivalent of setting off a small atomic device.

I suppose the adding of fucker was indeed tediously inevitable.

I had a nightmare about those shoes last night

It's not the post though is it? It's the intention, and if the poster is on another open forum, sniggering that she is doing it to get negative or distressed reactions, than that's just a bit sad really.

Like the dog pissing on your slippers to get your attention.

MNHQ - I think the CDWM thread is disgusting, it is goading and nasty, but fair enough, fat people aren't protected by law - so let it stand then while you are at it, tell Hully off for starting a daft thread about spoons, which frankly, you'd have be as thick as fuck not to realise was a joke thread and complain about it. On what planet do those two things, side by side, make sense?

Zombie is lost. She has no idea on God's green earth who the poster is or used to be. She agrees that the thread is unpleasant.

She is also confused about bingo wings. She thought they were the loose flappy bits one tends to get under their upper arms as one matured.

Nor is she impressed with the seeming double standards.

Perhaps she should just go for a quiet lie down.

Tethers Was that the thread about the weird swirly shoes by some architect? I kind of thought that was some kind of April fool!

The CDWM thread is horrible. Obvious trolling. I'm surprised and disappointed that you're letting it stand.

It's not just offensive - it's clearly trolling.

The name is new. The style, and indeed the hang up re body fat, is older than the overuse of the word fucker...

Didn't see the spoon thread. What was it about?

I am overweight with bingo wings / pork arms / whatever you want to call them. I don't see the thread as an attack on me, and am not upset by it. It was goady though, so probably should be deleted, if MNHQ are deleting all goady trolly threads.

Hully posted an op, outraged that she lent her neighbour 4 teaspoons and only 3 were returned.

The sheer level of frothing in the op indicated it was posted to be taken lightly.

@FrankWippery

It's goady shit from a poster who gets kicks from posting, well, goady shit.

So why the fuck does Hully get a rap and this one doesn't? Double standards, lovely.

We don't really think that we have displayed double standards.
We have mailed both OPs and left both threads to stand.

Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue who everybody is talking about?

If she name changes for all these threads how do you know it's the same person each time?

Fair enough rebecca in that case did the posters who reported hullys thread get a response message describing her as a "good egg" who means no harm?

Im not trying to stir just genuinely curious...

HotCrossPun
(great name, btw) I can generally spot her, and think many others can too.

Is the spoons one still there? Or did it get deleted. It sounds like fun.

MNHQ didn't post on the spoon thread. The OP posted that people had apparently complained. Although Lord knows why...

Good for you mumsnet.

Guys, just hide the thread if you don't like it. It's no big deal.

Thanks MmeLindor, - now I'm really intrigued! Must be because I'm a newbie, I'm going to keep my eyes open

Oh, you mean reply to complainers? No idea. Did anyone start a thread about it...?

the spoon thread sounds fascinating

anyway op on the other thread has been hauled over the coals now for it so everyone should be happy

let it go people
