Can we please have a ruling on how unsupportive of other parents it is permissible to be

within site rules, particularly, but not only, in reference to this thread;

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2094153-To-think-that-a-lot-of-the-time-having-someone-in-the-family-with-a-disability-does-mean-being-long-term-poor

Have NCed obviously, but MNHQ can obviously see who I am and maybe we can get this cleared up one way or the other.

It would also be interesting to know how one defines beyond the pale and not really within the ethos of the site

Oh dear. Bet there's no case law Grin

Sparklingbrook · 01/06/2014 07:22

Can you be a bit more specific? Confused

LeftyLoony · 01/06/2014 07:24

If you ARE the poster in question then twitty is entirely inadequate to describe what you have done to people at the end of their tethers. People have come close to really, really harming themselves because of you and your 'opinions'.

I know you don't give a shit and probably rather enjoy that fact, the markings of a truly inadequate human being.

How DARE you play the victim with your sad faces after what you've done for years?

If you're someone who somehow thinks this is funny and something to be joked about then all the above still applies but in addition you're behaving like an arsehole.

There are no words for the level of contempt I feel for you. I now know I'm not alone.

LeftyLoony · 01/06/2014 07:27

Oh, and where are your balls, and 'saying it like it is' and 'going against the crowd' as you in the face of finding out just how many people think you're disgusting?

You're a coward, as all bullies are.

saintlyjimjams · 01/06/2014 07:33

I don't think it's happy - OP points out MNHQ can see who she is (rather than we can all work it out). Think she's just making it easier for them to see who they should be looking at.

LeftyLoony · 01/06/2014 07:40

Well if they're doing it for laughs or attention it's a bit off.

There will have been plenty of reports last night.

Sparklingbrook · 01/06/2014 07:55

I think I understand now.

saintlyjimjams · 01/06/2014 07:58

I don't think it's for laughs - maybe asking MNHQ to clarify why they allow one petson's toxic bullshit to be aired repeatedly. Which is an interesting question I agree.

Minnieisthedevilmouse · 01/06/2014 08:09

I hadn't looked at the original thread. This one caught my curiosity. I read it. I'm genuinely shocked.

So, assuming parents on that board would like support to rid themselves of a very dissenting constant opinion, you have mine.

That was disgusting.

Smilesandpiles · 01/06/2014 08:35

HA!

Namechaged AND playing the victim - you couldn't make it up!

Sparklingbrook · 01/06/2014 08:36

No Smiles I don't think it's that at all.

Smilesandpiles · 01/06/2014 08:39

Got it!

Sorry, I missed a post when reading.

linkery · 01/06/2014 08:47

I have come to the conclusion that there are a number of people who cannot, for the life of them, see anothers point of view unless they have been through it themselves.

linkery · 01/06/2014 09:03

This is where I have an absolute hate of "freeedom of speech".

I am very confused Smiles Confused

linkery · 01/06/2014 09:12

Dont think that saintly is right.

But then perhaps it is me that has not got it right.

RandallFloyd · 01/06/2014 09:23

I do see your point but unfortunately it isn't against the rules to be a twat.
It's also not against the rules to be wrong and/or stupid.

Also, although I agree with you completely, I'm not sure drawing attention to this type of poster is a great idea. I think it will simply feed their mahoosive martyr complex.

This type of person lives for the chance to 'speak out for the disenfranchised masses', they genuinely believe that they are persecuted for 'standing up for truth and justice'.

Don't give them another opportunity to play the victim.

I know it's hard, and yes, it is important to correct the factually incorrect statements they trott out with such misplaced confidence but, other than doing that, IMO it's best to simply refuse to engage. Leave them to froth to themselves in a corner.

I'm sorry for anyone who has ever been upset by this kind of crap. I have been myself, many times, (I don't often actually take my own advice). You shouldn't ever have to listen to the bigoted bile they spout but sometimes wrong people just enjoy their wrongness too much to allow them to actually hear the truth.

Yes ignoring is preferable but such posts often stir up and encourage others.I also don't like the message leaving such views unchallenged sends.

I have noticed recently though more becoming wise to it,ignoring or pulling such posters up instead of joining in with said kicking.

linkery · 01/06/2014 09:30

trouble is Randall, this site as a whole does not do the ignore bit.

Even when posters are going against rules and shouting troll, there are still numerous posters who keep right on posting.

linkery · 01/06/2014 09:31

Ignoring involves self control by hundreds of posters.
