Would you think that comment was a personal attack and broke MN talk guidelines ?

Interested in views .

No.

I'd laugh at them. Anybody who uses terms like that after they've finished puberty, deserves to be laughed at.

It may break one of the guidelines, but does it actually bother you?

I started a thread last night, and quite a few people piled on to tell me that I had made it up. I hadn't, but I couldn't really care less if they don't believe me - I don't know them, and they weren't there.

I think some things are worth reporting to MN because they shouldn't be allowed to stand. With stuff like this, I think it's better to just ignore.

I did report it ,it bothered me because it's one of many posts putting the boot in and I don't really understand how MN moderate .

But I think yes ,better to ignore .

Thanks - needed some perspective .

If it bothered you, OP, then you were right to report it. MNHQ can decide if it broke any of their guidelines.

Flowers Hope you are ok.

peridito · 25/02/2020 08:47

Oh that's sweet of you Alexa to be concerned for me -especially since you've just had worse!

See I knew there were lovely ppl on MN !

It depends on the context, were you lying and stirring?
Why dont you send over the link and let us see.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 25/02/2020 09:14

Hi @peridito - we've sent you a mail. Thanks.

GloriaMumsnet · 25/02/2020 09:14

Hi there, you'll need to report posts for us so we can take a look. Thanks.

peridito · 25/02/2020 09:19

I think context does come into it ,no lying and stirring were involved .

MN have sorted now .

Some posters actually are goady and deliberately misrepresent other posters to try to derail and get threads shut down, though. I would want to see this post in context.

The thread is about Harry and Meghan, the 20th

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 25/02/2020 09:36

I had this recently. I was a blatant personal attack, MNHQ did nothing. Apparently they didn't feel that it was. It really quite clearly was. I very very rarely report posts, and from now on I never will. Let the nasty posts stand OP. It let's others reading the thread see what the person throwing around insults is.

Cheeseandwin5 · 26/02/2020 08:29

The thread is about Harry and Meghan, the 20th

Admittedly I havent read the thread, but it does seem from the title a very general topic , which would be full of differing opinions.
Unless you have been gossiping to the Queen behind Megans back I am not sure how this accusation came about.
I agree with the other posts, if you feel a line was crossed you should report and let the Admin sort it out.
