Message from MNHQ: Lads, we're getting a billion reports and tbh, we're not sure that we're the place for this. How about thrashing it all out somewhere else? We're going to remove this thread now. Love and peace, MNHQ.

Could someone from @MumsnetHQ please explain why the Thread Deletion message apparently addresses the OP (male) and the subject of the thread (another male bullying a female)? That is, rather than the Mumsnetters actually contributing to that thread who (I will take a wild guess!) were all or mostly female?!
I was on that thread and I did not see anyone posting, apart from the OP, who I know to be male, although MumsnetHQ might know better, of course.
It is particularly concerning that MumsnetHQ deleted a thread in response to "billions" of reports about Mumsnetters deploring the actions of a male (not a Mumsnetter, I would guess!) who has been relentlessly bullying a female Mumsnet member.
Then to address the Deletion message to "Lads"!!
Women were supporting a woman who was, and probably still is, being subjected to a sustained campaign of bullying and vilification by a male.
The fact that that this was brought to the attention of Mumsnetters on FWR by a male Mumsnet member is irrelevant. It is disappointing that MumsnetHQ seems to think that this is the most important aspect.
Even more disappointing that MumsnetHQ sided with the male bully (a Mumsnet member?? Really??) and his gang of Twitter followers against a female Mumsnet member and female Mumsnet members condemning her persecution by him.
Mostly this has been on Social Media but this has been part of a sustained campaign that has included "economic sanctions", blocking her receipt of donations from Mumsnetters when she was in dire financial straights.
From the flippant tone of the deletion message you seem not to have grasped that this is:
a) far more serious than people throwing hissy-fits on Social Media
b) about a young woman being persecuted, primarily by a gang of males led by a man - not a trivial spat between two "Lads"!
