Aggressive posting on this board

[debs40]

For at least the third time in the last couple of days, I have seen aggressive, incongruous posts on this board from posters I do not recognise (save for their argumentative interventions on the AIBU board).

Do you think this board is being highlighted from the main board in a different way or that we are appearing in active convos or something different?

I've been posting here for two years and I have never seen these type of judgmental posting.

This is not the AIBU board. We pride ourselves on offering support and advice. Sometimes a little 'tough love' is needed or the advice is 'get a grip' but we don't judge each other and try to undermine people's posts.

Legitimate points can be made without having a go at people.

Blitz spirit and all!

You ok Star, don't seem your usual sprightly self?

I agree Debs, I am not a regular poster, but have given some hand holding to some people on here over the past year (ish) to those with similar issues that we have been through. Recently seems people come on for a rant and are not particularly interested in any real help.

They will all move on soon enough and the real SN mums will still be around.

Fingers crossed Positive! As long as those in need of help aren't put off.

Star, yes, I could tell there was something in the tone of your posts. Have a rant if you think it will help - maybe when the judgeypeeps have gone

We'll be here!

Oooh I vented the other day on here.. Was just so tired.. And although I don't post hugely on sn , I do feel that it's a safe corner for me.. With a group of people who just "know".

If I was out of order .. I do apologize.

( it wasn't a nasty thread... But it was a huge vent!)

I haven't noticed sorry ! People post for all sorts of reasons. If I can't help or haven't time, I just ignore the thread. I feel I get a lot more than I give and I have learned so much.

imo the sn board isn't the warm place it was(well not for me anyway) but have to say I haven't notice any nastyness(sp) perhaps people have opted in then forgotten to chck to see if they are in SN.
just post......
YOU ARE POSTING IN THE SN TOPIC

Well I am new - I hope I haven't stepped on any toes

I think I would have gone mad without MN

I did think you had to 'opt in' to see SN threads in Active Convos. I don't think I did this, but it now appears, so maybe there is a glitch.

I haven't posted anything though - until now .

Cyber I agree, they do post for alsorts of reasons but I found it strange to see a couple of really judgmental posts over the last few days. Really nonsensically nast posts - deliberately provocative about the op as in AIBU - 2shoes perhaps you're right and they got lost on the way to another board!

Arseniccopcake - yours was NOT one of the posts! We all rant, we just don't tend to judge. That's why I run back here all the time. I venture out on the other boards and forget that there's a world of judgey Boden mummies with agas out there waiting to tell me how I don't measure up

Now Star, you sound like you've had a crappy time. I think being lied to is the absolute pits but when you are dealing with a child it really beggars belief. I have been amazed by some of the people I've encountered through this SEN/ASD process who are really not 'fit for purpose' but who have carved a little job for life out for themselves by artificially perpetuating and maintaining waiting lists and poor administration so that no one gives them any proper work. They don't give a flying toss who they affect.

You know that there are no easy answers and that is deeply crap but you are a guiding light to many of us and we wouldn't be so brave in fighting our kids corners if it wasn't for the constant encouragement and advice of people like you.

So you need to pat yourself on the back - take the phone off the hook and just think...I am Starlight, I am the dog's bollocks....just for a minute before it all starts again.....

Katymac....not you. Please no one get paranoid. The posters will know without doubt who they are.

Niggle...I may ask MNHQ about that.

not noticed myself but we are tough enough to handle it im sure, with our problems and kids im sure we could take on the USA and win
hope your all ok though some non MN hugs heading way of those that need them this week (((hug)))

You calling me aggressive or what?? Take your glasses off and come outside - if you're hard enough

oh come on, you can't leave us hanging
give us a clue.......where?

I have just written and lost a decent post ...

So will just say thanks debs and to star don't let it get on top of you.

And can I announce ds2 not only put on new pjs tonight( he had a practice with them ) he has gone to sleep in them.. And ... He has now "got " the phrase " hold your horses!"
yay!!

As you lot were

There were several 2shoes. I'm not being fainthearted. I don't care what people post generally but the thing about this board is that people tend to post safe in the knowledge that they are not going to have their words picked over or themselves criticised. Posts are taken on face value and advice given where people can give advice.

The posts where not particularly nasty just jarring and out of step with the type of peaceful, love-in we generate with our mutual good wishes!! It is like people have stumbled off another board and apply the same hypercritical logic to our beloved posters!

MNHQ have said they will look into whether we are being exposed in active convos.

Yay for Arsenics's DS's shiny new pjs!!
