Shiny new thread.

Hopefully won't get derailed.

What I mean is. In my opinion Rebecca was horrible and really blunt at me on that other thread. But she was clearly there and clearly responding so she could have emailed me in response to my report report emails to HQ asking the question and explained it to me rather than just be rude on the thread.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 08:54

My last post makes no sense.

Basically, since Rebecca could post bluntly at me on the thread, she could have privately answered the reports I had sent.

HerSpookyFattyness · 19/10/2016 08:56

I knew what you meant auser and I completely agree.

Owllady · 19/10/2016 08:56

Maybe Rebecca was one of the posters Confused

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 08:57

Yes Auser I'm with you. Well I don't remember anything you said being inflammatory. Not at all. Fuck the threats of suspension. If they are going to be that petty just to shut us down then fuck them.

Ilovehedgehogs · 19/10/2016 08:57

I have been incredibly shocked at saddened at the response by MN on this.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 08:58

God alone only knows.

Her post last night on that thread was completely and utterly unacceptable and totally one sided and out of order and she basically handed the "SN brigade" to the wolves on a plate.

You might as well forget any pretence HQ with the guest posts and the SN boards. It's clear what HQ really think from what Rebecca posted last night.

Owllady · 19/10/2016 09:01

I really don't think it's acceptable to discriminate against homeless young people either
Discriminate, you know that word that's thrown about
Embarrassing or what?

Ilovehedgehogs · 19/10/2016 09:02

It's the same posters who were supporting the mother excluding a boy with DS from a party too. I had to hide that thread.

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 09:04

Hedgehogs yes that one pissed me off. What the hell was that?!

Ilovehedgehogs · 19/10/2016 09:08

I hid it so I don't know what happened but there were two or three posters railroading everyone else.

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 09:10

Yes, I remember one particular prolific poster. That thread made me so angry.

We are CLEARLY being ignored here.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 09:14

The reason I'm saying that is that there has been action taken deleting another thread this morning and we haven't heard a peep from HQ.

Ilovehedgehogs · 19/10/2016 09:14

It won't change, it never will Sad

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 09:16

If that is how it going to be then the fake concern guest posts shout raising awareness and the stance if we are so inclusive we are concerned about the vulnerable and those with no voice that HQ have needs to stop.

If this is how it's going to be HQ why not own it? Make it what you are. Be clear and unambiguous

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 09:16

*of we are so inclusive

HerSpookyFattyness · 19/10/2016 09:23

Shock I clearly missed that thread! Why the fuck would you exclude a child from a party because they have DS? What the hell?
One of the funniest kids I know has DS and she would liven up any party. She's brilliant. She also happens to support the same rugby league team as me so she's pretty awesome Wink (I volunteer in a nursery 2 days a week, she goes to the school the nursery is attached to and I was working in holiday club over the summer.)

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 09:28

HSF the bitches of eastwick were prevalent on that thread. It was fucking brutal to say the least. As if a child that has DS won't experience enough discrimination throughout their life.

The hypocrisy of the sponsored thread is ridiculous. All I can hear in the back of my head is 'not on my doorstep...'

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 09:28

Exactly my point Moz.

But he ho. As long as mn looks right on, eh?

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 09:31

How can they not see the disconnect between the guest post and that buying a house next to thread?

You can't have what Rebecca said on that thread standing with the guest post. Not unless there is a massive amount of hypocrisy going on.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 09:39

Well. I've put it directly on the guest post thread AND reported my own post on that thread to see if I can get an answer.

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 09:42

How can they claim to give a shit about cuts to children's services whe they let it stand that people openly discuss the fact that there is no way they would buy a property where young people with LD or other challenging circumstances will live also. It makes no sense!!!!!

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 09:42

The constant referring to this children as 'the SEN kid' fucks me right off aswell.
