MN needs a closer watch of FWR

There is a concerning growth of posts with racist undertones cropping up on these boards, all under the guise of being proudly 'anti-woke'.

Apparently diversity is 'woke' and worthy of derision.

This is the thread I'm referring to here.

Disney went woke now they're going broke www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4836570-disney-went-woke-now-theyre-going-broke

Mumsnet needs to looks at why that board draws such types of posts, and why posters feel so comfortable openly airing their racism.

Well women can be critical of religion. It’s patriarchal structure, if that’s what they see.

Others may disagree, which they are free to post about.

Quite.

Firstly I don't know why you think you can demand an answer from me. I thought I was the one doing that.

Secondly, until you tell the truth about what a post said, I have no idea which post you're asking about. I have given a direct answer to your direct question (based on a deliberately false premise). What else do you want from me?

No you have provided what I wanted thanks.

The lies one can tell about posts that are deleted and pretending they are something they were not, such as a 'personal attack' and something to get on your high horse about, are the reason I don't report things.

Thank you for the performative display of aggregious harm though. Much appreciated.

KarensManager · 02/07/2023 16:13

I don't expect anything else. The hypocrisy on here is too much. I would post the screenshot of that post but why would I if it's been deleted? Why would it be deleted if it didn't have anything that goes against t and c? I thought mnhq is good at that.or are you saying they just delete for no reason?

Secondly, even if I posted a screenshot and shone a light on it, the likes of you would still see what you want and claim what isn't there.

Glad to have helped.

ArabeIIaScott · 02/07/2023 16:18

The posts that have been deleted were asking if Karensmanager was okay and suggesting they were getting upset and may benefit from a break. AFAIR.

Meanwhile, I'm studiously ignoring insinuations about my alleged turnip antipathy. Turnipathy?

KarensManager · 02/07/2023 16:22

I know it's difficult to take when one person stands up to a 5 or more person tag-team. If nothing else works, the lies, insults and hypocrisy come out to get them to run. If that doesnt work, the victim card is played as if they've been wronged for being stood up to and their rule breaking posts being deleted. Sorry, it hasn't worked so far.

Sorry you haven't 'remembered' quite well. I'd suggest facts and accuracy over trying to omit what got posts removed. If in doubt, my subsequent posts in response to the deleted posts should give some clue...but you all know that.

Hi all,

We're just posting to say that we're getting reports about the tone and direction of this thread. We know discussions like this often get heated but we'd like to enlist your help to keep things on track.

We've had to make several deletions including personal attacks and goading posts. We're asking that you keep the discussion civil and mutually respectful, and if you see anything which breaks the talk guidelines, please report it rather than engaging on the thread.

Thanks.

KM, I honestly don't really understand what you're trying to achieve here. You seem to be making a lot of assumptions about other posters based on very vague reasoning.

KarensManager · 02/07/2023 16:30

I see some of my posts have been reported and deleted by reports from your team. Posts in response to other posts. I await the same sentiment from you written here about reporting posts, but of course not because you're never wrong:

Thank you for the performative display of aggregious harm though

Sure you remember bits but not the main bits. Sure. I believe you or perhaps you don't have to remember if you can't remember the important parts, instead of making it look like a post was deleted for sayjng "are you okay"?

And the thread is only "meant to be about racism" because it is using the common tactic of piggybacking on issues that are widely accepted to be "bad" - racism and homophobia - to whip up the desired outrage because the charge of transphobia has lost much of its power to shame and now mostly gets eyerolls.

This. You can't start a thread specifically laying into FWR about "racism" and not bother to post examples or explain exactly which posts you have issues with, and then not expect the discussion to move onto more obvious topics.

I have emails from MNQH saying, "Thanks for your report, we have deleted the post."

Just saying.

And why would I or should I be posting on a thread what I have or have not reported?

Who the fuck asks someone to put themselves in this way?

Helleofabore · 02/07/2023 16:46

KarensManager · 02/07/2023 15:13

And the above is all to you, for once @Helleofabore since you've been seeking attention from me.

Well, I missed it. I am sure it was in keeping with the tone of the rest of your contributions though so I think I can just imagine it.

KarensManager · 02/07/2023 16:50

Oh please. Like you didn't report the post for a line i used to question the professed hyper-intelligence of FWR posters. Honestly...speaking of 'tone' gives it away, no need for lies. lol. Try again.

Of course you're under no obligation to, but you can do it without outing yourself, quite easily. Like this.

The posters suggesting that the only reason FWR isn't full of racist posts is because they have assiduously reported them all have the ability to prove both what was said and the fact that they reported it without needing to reveal anything.

When providing evidence is hard as I regularly change my emails for MN and no longer have access to ones I have ditched. But mostly, I am not about to post evidence of my ‘reports’. Who the fuck even asks for that?

Tell that to your "show me the evidence" friends. It's hypocritical to act like you don't know what this signifies. In case you're really being genuine, let me make it clear because it's obvious you need it spelled out: Don't provide evidence, I don't need one from you.

But there is no equivalence between finding live examples of what you claim in your blanket statements and me providing personal evidence of my right-doing?

This is non symmetrical and illogical.

As for it is hypocritical to act like I don’t know what this signifies, I am genuinely not understanding because I keep repeating that you are talking about two not symmetrical ‘show me your evidence’ requests. Please explain what you actually mean when you believe I should understand the hypocrisy you are referring to.

No sadness Tellme, it needed to be said and you said it so eloquently, as do many FWR posters over and over again 💐

KarensManager · 02/07/2023 16:55

Well Well Well...No personal attack but still reported. I thought we were stronger than that and anyone who reports is <checks note> being performative?

No they all know this. It's just a way of asking "what what?!" with faux innocence.

margo

Do you understand that in doing so, that people reading here who I might have reported will know I reported them?

And sorry margot, did you also read that I ditch email accounts regularly and no longer have access to them.

And Margot, why is it important that I provide evidence of me reporting a post for this exercise? Do you understand why it has become important? Please explain. Why are you expecting me or any poster to provide evidence of any poster’s reporting history, and for what purpose?

I also think that the failure to engage with the actual racism highlighted by @BelleHathor is very very telling.
