Shiny new thread.

Hopefully won't get derailed.

Shrug. Apparently I'm just looking for a fight.

BishopBrennansArse · 19/10/2016 10:49

Give them this thread too so they can see there are several of us feeling this way

Done BBA.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:54

It's nearly 11am. I have been reporting and reporting to try to get an answer. The lack of response from HQ is shocking

Javabeansaintgeorge · 19/10/2016 10:56

I'm still seething at the bullying that went on ion the last thread why was it allowed to get into that state?

Why were 6 posters allowed to gang up on one person and make threads about them?

Why did it take so long for HQ to take action when Olivia was posting on the thread at the time seeing it happen?

the two posters who both needed support were left until the next day, then there is likely to be a whole lot of things which breach the equality act left unsorted in a very disgusting manner.

HQ should be ashamed of themselves over this, completely ashamed, I'm fucking disgusted to be assosiated with the site!
Two poster who needed support were left all night to kick each other, one had a team for disgusting minions shit string and the other was presumably banned.

And then to cover their own arses they deleted a thread full of disablism!

You've messed up massively HQ and because of this i will no longer be a member of this website.

And I can't even express how out of fucking order Rebeccas post was. "yes we see the disablism" "no we are not going to do anything about it". Angry

Javabeansaintgeorge · 19/10/2016 10:57

Our children / Loved ones and ourselves ARE HUMAN!
We should be treated as such!

BishopBrennansArse · 19/10/2016 10:57

Good. Hopefully I can address them directly then ~waves to Auser's contact~
This isn't the first time we've tried to address these issues. We've had several threads already hijacked and derailed so they were deleted and we were effectively silenced.

Personally I've been here a decade and over that time some of the attitudes to disability have been horrendous and have included pro eugenics stances. Things that wouldn't ever be acceptable have been allowed to stand and HQ have 'dropped the ball' that often I'd suggest assessment for DCD!

According to someone on the other thread, Rebecca's comment covered everything. Well fuck them. I'm spitting feathers.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:59

I am not going to answer that comment on that thread.

HQ. Why aren't you coming to answer us?

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 11:00

I have reported so manÅ· of my posts with a comment along the lines of"so you see this" - but we are being ignored.

Why?

BishopBrennansArse · 19/10/2016 11:01

Java that's sad because that is what they want - the casual disablists and HQ because if we disappear then it gets peaceful, doesn't matter is it's prejudiced peace.

I'm lego. I'm tenacious (or a stubborn bitch). And the fact they don't want me here makes me stick harder.

OP posts:
Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 11:01

Fuck knows. The person on that thread is a shit stirrer. Do you think I should just ignore it now? I'm probably doing myself no favours

CandyMcJingles · 19/10/2016 11:02

Moz MNetters are split into the

Have a Clue

And the

Haven't Got a Fucking Clue.

Unfortunately MNHQ support the HGAFC group.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 11:02

Rebecca threatened us with suspension for less. How come they are not suspended and are still a,lowed to goad and stir?

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 11:05

Ok I've told them our stance. I hope I worded it well enough. I'm exhausted with it now. I don't feel like I have much more to give. My anger is now pretty much pure disappointment.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 11:06

I just posted re indirect discrimination. But I feel so close to tears.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 11:07

We should not be having to spell out indirect discrimination to an organisation like mumsnet. We should not be having to explain this. There are legal protects in place. Why are they not being abided by HQ?

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 11:09

Auser sorry, my defence of our stance was quite shit tbh. You're much better at this. The shit stirring just isn't going to stop by the looks of things.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 11:10

I just want to cry.

Why are HQ ignoring equality laws on indirect discrimination? Why re they ignoring us and not responding here ?

CandyMcJingles · 19/10/2016 11:11

Auser he's is a hand hold from me. I'm giving your hand a good old squeeze.
This is the impact of disablism.
Not worrying if the value of your house will decrease.
It's damaging to a person's well being.
It's demoralising.
It's draining.
It's exhausting.
It's isolating.
And it's fucking illegal.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 11:12

And now we've been told not to keep bumpin g the thread.

What. The. Fuck.

HerSpookyFattyness · 19/10/2016 11:13

This.

auser ((hugs)) it's appalling that MNHQ are ignoring us on this.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 11:14

I'm going to buy cake.

To fuck with the diet

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 11:17

I'm so so angry. Why do they think they can tell us what to do now? Mute the campaigners, we obviously cause too much trouble for them- no, we're just holding up a mirror to their disabilist ugliness.

Handhold for you Auser and you had better share that cake dude
