It is shocking if was "bail hostel" could understand but supported housing is bloody hard to get, obviously going to include those with Disabilites in one form or another. To then try say like its 100% not and just people with "issues" just so off the mark.

CandyMcJingles · 18/10/2016 23:23

I've reported my post and explained why it's disablist.
If anyone feels they must report my post for disablism, please do.

Ausernotanumber · 18/10/2016 23:24

That's the thing. It is going to be overwhelmingly populated by young people with disabilities. Why is that so hard to understand?

Supported living for young Muslim people being built next door.

NC for this as could be outing. This is more of a WWYD really. I am at risk of sounding like a right NIMBY and I hate that its bringing this out in me but...
I am a single parent about to move to a new house. Building work has started on a 'supported living for Muslim youngsters' development right next door.
Now, I have lived in some of the most gang-riven areas in the country without a thought but in my old age and with a child I admit I am worried about crime, drugs and ability to sell house on. I love the house and everything else is good.
WWYD? Still proceed with the purchase?

New thread about a cure for autism popped up...

CandyMcJingles · 18/10/2016 23:36

Sorry for nicking your post Auser but it illustrates do well.

The reason why those other isms aren't tolerated is because of years of campaigning and support by authorities.

MNHQ you are so behind the times it is embarrassing.

Ausernotanumber · 18/10/2016 23:37

candy nick away it's not my post x

CandyMcJingles · 18/10/2016 23:38

True!

Owllady · 19/10/2016 08:15

No Candy I am embarrassing Hmm
I shall tell you what my deleted posts were on that thread
I said the special school teacher was a 'disgrace' Shock and I said I wouldn't want her teaching my child
That was it. No swearing, name calling, anything, just 'disgrace'
Amaze balls huh
You are welcome to change mumsnet if you wish but I really can't be bothered.
Aibu gives them all their clickbait and the more outrageous the better
Just to secure the deletion of this post, I think Rebecca needs to get out more and experience a bit of life
Maybe they all could do a diversity course?
Who
Knows

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 08:18

I've asked if they can send me my deleted posts and explain exactly why they were deleted because I don't think mine were any worse then others which are left standing. But. Since HQ aren't answering it ight take a while.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 08:21

You know what has REALLY upset me? We are asking lots of questions. Not an answer. Yet HQ were in this thread and deleting posts late last night. But not answering our questions at all.

Which feels like either pure rudeness or just ignore them and they'll go away or fuck this I don't want to have to hold our hands up and apologise so fuck them.

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 08:21

Auser you've been deleted on this thread? Are you kidding?

Owllady · 19/10/2016 08:23

They don't care auser

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 08:24

Yip. This one and the other one.

On this one it was for posting exactly the same as Waitrose has posted wrt an appalling attack on fanjo I think. Which they deleted. But ignore ALL the questions and upset around Rebecca's post.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 08:28

Guest post. The rights of vulnerable children must be protected wherever they live.

Except when they're 16 there's more than one of them and a mnetter wants to buy a house next door, clearly.

Owllady · 19/10/2016 08:32

What gets me it's the same people on the attack on aibu (not just 're the sn brigade, they hate most people) who derail these threads yet two and two is not put together

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 08:37

WHAT?! You were deleted? Oh fuck this shit dude.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 08:40

Yip. Deleted on the other thread for PERSONAL ATTACK. which I am pretty sure I didn't do. I've been asking since last night for an answer and not had one.

Except the thread, from Rebecca, on the other thread that those who make PAs will be suspended. Which it looks like I will be, following the logic. Which is horrible. I now have a sick feeling in my stomach posting if I am criticising anyone and especially HQ.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 08:40

*threat

Owllady · 19/10/2016 08:43

I think they just delete stuff that has been reported by the daily mail bully girls and boys tbh

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 08:46

owl I think you're right. Pretty sure auser didn't break the rules last night Confused

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 08:49

Look. Maybe I did. I'm honestly not sure. I know one post quoted some of the bullies and put "wow" at the end - that was the one here but Waitrose had already done that at fanjo and despite me reporting it, that post was let stand for ages, so I posted the same and off it goes in seconds.

The other thread, I don't think I did but I can't remember. I've asked and asked for someone to mail me what my posts were so I can understand but all I got was a horrid comment from Rebecca on that other thread and a clear threat to suspend me.
