JustAnothersilentorangenugget · 08/07/2017 16:20

You remember you were going to impliment all kinds of things, Message which explained posts were deleted due to disablism, Emails to the posters, proactive buzzwords...

a year on what has been the result of this massive change in moderation?

Now i'm not suggesting this was a carrot, dangled to try and stop people leaving....
But we donkeys ARE getting a little tired of walking and woudl like to know what plans are there for the future to stop attacks.

You are aware that personal attacks are not allowed on MN?

Do you have a point to make or just want to call some people names?

MrsJayy · 09/07/2017 19:40

Goady ffs

Dawndonnaagain · 09/07/2017 19:40

See? This isn't contributing, it's trying to shut down opinions you disagree with
No it isn't. Your opinion is your opinion, but what's the point of discussing it when your actions are illegal.

Dawndonnaagain · 09/07/2017 19:41

Always same old people Bishop zzzzz and dawndonna got to have the last say and always be right-utter twats all three of them
didn't you get bored with this last night?

Macbride111 · 09/07/2017 19:42

Dawn? What actions of mine were illegal?

Macbride are you deliberately being thick and goafy or does it just come easily to you ?

By accusing me if being goady you are trying to shut down discussion

YouHaveBeenSummarilyDismissed · 09/07/2017 19:43

And MacBride why are you trying to school people in how to converse?

Repeatedly saying that someone is "trying to shut the conversation down" is a derailment and a totally spurious argument. Why does it matter what their intent is even if it is to try to shut the conversation down? Are you the conversation shut down police?

How are we going to have a discussion when people want only their opinions? MN isnt an echo chamber

People don't want only their opinions. "People" don't want disableism and perpetual goady fuckerisms aimed at disabled people over the weekend to stand.

Macbride111 · 09/07/2017 19:47

That's fair enough. Remember someone, somewhere will disagree. That's why we discuss these things

Dawndonnaagain · 09/07/2017 19:48

MacBride, as has been pointed out, many times, it's the damned law. That's all there is to it. If it's the law, and you know it's the bloody law, coming on to a thread and stating that it's okay to pick your fags up because the spaces are empty is goady. Simple really. Now, that is not in any way shutting down conversation, because the law is in place ergo, no discussion required. Get your fags, park in a blue badge space, hopefully get hauled over the coals and learn your lesson. If not, just be aware of the fact that you're committing an illegal and immoral act. See, that's not hard, is it. Where did I stop you? How did I stop you?

Ghostofasmile · 09/07/2017 19:48

If find it somewhat disturbing that Jason / Just gets deleted for going overboard with his defense while user1499604348 repeatedly and directly insults people and gets to stay.

one is known and has met several regular members of special needs section, so is absolutely a genuine poster and is all they claim to be, the other is clearly a troll.

One attacks the disabled members of the board, the other defends them.

Dawndonnaagain · 09/07/2017 19:50

Oh, and as for you doing all the MINE, MINE, MINE shit. That is goady as fuck. But whilst we're on it, yes, those 20 bb spaces are ours, you've got 250 to choose from. The ONE space on the bus we can 'choose', you've got sixty odd. Perhaps what we should be discussing is why can't we have more...

Macbride111 · 09/07/2017 19:50

Dawn. Driving over 30 in a 30 zone is illegal but most of us do it. We are not all 100% angelic law abiding citizens

Bleh.

Some of us are sick to death of discussing things with arseholes.

We would rather they just shut the fuck up tbh.

YouHaveBeenSummarilyDismissed · 09/07/2017 19:51

Yes, disagreement is fine and robust debate is great but it is horrible to see time and time again intentional ableist goady fuckers over and over and over again.

People with disabilities live repeating the same "informative" bull shit over and over in real life. It's shit.

And the posters here (who don't NC) who repeatedly have to say the same things over and over again against disablest posters get sick of it - it isn't fun to have to keep repeating the same explanations over and over as nauseum.

HoneyDragon · 09/07/2017 19:51

It's 10:35 pm at night and the shops are shut and I really need a cigarette where's the harm in my taking Macbrides as they aren't using them all. Sure it means Macride is short when they need one a short while late but that's then and this is now.

Macbride111 · 09/07/2017 19:53

I think we need a cigarette emote

Look, if you want to discuss this, that's fine. But use a valid argument. You're just being goady.

Weebo · 09/07/2017 19:53

As a non 100% angelic law abiding citizens can I say fuck it and nick her car?

I promise to park nicely.

HoneyDragon · 09/07/2017 19:54

Zzzzzz it's really not unkind. MNHQ have promised more than once they'd be more proactive and not expect victims of disablism to educate the credulous thickos. They've repeatedly reneged on this and let parents on this site down. They claim their ethos is to make life easier....they don't.

YouHaveBeenSummarilyDismissed · 09/07/2017 19:54

Fucking hell if that isn't the truth, I don't know what is.

I'll deink to that!

Macbride111 · 09/07/2017 19:54

Hands off my car dammit. Grrrrr
