So cheap shots about SN are acceptable are they?

Having seen how speedily you deleted a post yesterday when I called BG bigwig a pimp I am disgusted you have left those posts on the thread I have reported 3 times.

Great - some found it amusing and it was an 'in joke' . Well no. It is not acceptable.

I am more than disappointed.

i don't know what ther thread was or the comments made but i will always remark when i see comments that are offensive with regards to special needs.

it should be unnaccetpbale but for some reason the comments always seem to slip through.

Hang on a second, vmwp has been "rounded on"? No she hasn't. She has been pulled up on really questionable netiquette.

When she was away I mentioned her in several missing mumsnetter threads, lots of people did - she was much missed and welcomed back warmly. If she wants to flounce off after being disagreed with by a couple of people well then [shrug] it might be the best thing for her.

BTW I would love to see a thread where a longstanding mumsnetter with a recognisable name was called stupid and a whole clique of people lolled. I don't believe such a thread exists. Mumsnet is not like that.

You can't even make a joke without someone going off the deep end. And bullying is always pointed out.

I ahvent seen a threadof that nature either Bibbity

The two I can think of that went most nasty, one last weekend one a fewyears ago now, both reaulted in me getting lots of supprt.

However, I hope the smewould be extended to a newbie.

Just a thought but within the Sn community there will always be people like me who have been there for years and are more settled, those undergoing traumaticissues, those facing newly a dx or suggestion of one... it's swell wiorth IMO being avoidant of the issue to just avoid the chance of hurting someone in the latter categories. Anti sn (by perception if not intention) stuff hurts anyway, doubly so when you are struggling with real issues and quite possibly scared lifeless.

TDWP are you OK?

in answer to the op
seems it is ok as it was a joke.
I am with you on it anyway.
