I'm a bit anxious. I tried to log in via Google on my husband's android tablet. It wouldnt take my password at first then when it did there was a http// without the s and a list of options in fine type down the left side of the page. I really dont want another password change but do think they are still infiltrating?

You never know steph, we might yet find out which poster was missing during the time KH was in the BB house....

There are plenty of people out there that the general public just loathes.

Katie Hopkins perhaps

Well maybe he's someone nobody likes. Ahem

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/08/2015 16:48

did you try Mumsnet Desktop Site through Google?

if it doesn't have the "s" only "http" probably best to avoid

bittapitta · 21/08/2015 16:49

Lweli sorry I've wilfully misconstrued that to mean you suppose Jeffrey is Katie Hopkins. Now that would be mind blowing.

Thanks Zing I backed away pretty quickly but I hope my new name/password aren't nobbled now. We were at the hospital so I used his tablet but it was weird I don't think much happened.

How long before "penis beaker" starts trending again ?

Maybe I will finally find the original Pom Bears/Naice Ham threads ...

Well I'm on the list and my address was listed several times in my inbox because of the christmas card swap thread. I don't care about being 'outed' because I don't think I've ever said anything on here that I wouldn't say IRL. But should be worried about 'Jeffrey' doxing random MNers? I have a son with an anxiety disorder, and another with autism and sensory issues. If trolls got hold of our address they could cause a lot of upset.

OpheliaMoo · 21/08/2015 16:55

Dear god, has anyone seen the comment from Elinore in that post? ODFOD

And the author - "Sure, she’s so anti-male that she doesn’t even use her real name, Justine Katz, like a proper married lady" is she being ironic. I can't tell

Pipbin · 21/08/2015 16:58

Never read the bottom half of the internet.
You would hope the people who comment on The Guardian have got a little more taste, but no.

bittapitta · 21/08/2015 16:59

Deborah Orr is a feminist and the whole Guardian article is tongue in cheek, read the whole thing.

Latest dad_sec website is down. Maybe he is being DDOSed Grin

Tiredemma · 21/08/2015 17:00

I think that the journalist is being very sarcastic. I read it as an article that seems to be in support of MNet

andthe · 21/08/2015 17:01

Ha! Loving that Guardian article.

Hi Blah,

If you report the posts you are worried about, we will zap them for you pronto.

"Like a proper married lady"

Wtf? Yes, because we must all use our husbands names to be of any worth dear. I do hope it is irony, the alternative is just too sad to bear.

I do despair sometimes, until I read something utterly brilliantly witty and cutting from the vipers and my faith in humanity is restored.

LurkingHusband · 21/08/2015 17:02

I liked the very sly Stewart Lee reference in the articles comments Smile.

But I am a nerd, of the highest order ...

twirlypoo · 21/08/2015 17:03

Rebecca, please could you look at the post i reported earlier on this thread? It's still there! Thanks!
