Deleted post from AIBU - reason?

[RubyTrees]

I had one of my posts made today at 6:15pm deleted from a thread called "Trans woman in Riot Women! WTF?" in AIBU.

I referred to the actor being discussed as a "delicate flower ". Is this considered to be abusive language?

Hello @RubyTrees Thanks for posting. We removed your post as it was likely to be seen as deliberately inflammatory. Referring to someone as a “delicate flower” in that context reads as mocking rather than as part of a reasoned discussion, and risks derailing the thread into personal digs rather than the issue being discussed.

As ever, we’re happy for all perspectives to be shared on Mumsnet, but we do ask that posts focus on the topic and that they’re phrased in a way that keeps the debate civil.
