I've been wondering about this all week.

What do people think? Would William want that ? Would Kate?

Also strangely the post it was in reply to has been completely removed name and all , no deletion?

This - I have been attacked my anti Meghan posters here - quite often others with similar views band together and start posting about you like you are not even human. Mean girls tactics. Sometimes it's best not to get involved.

Like being called a cunt?

I would honestly laugh. This forum is one of the most toxic places on the internet. This RF one in particular. As someone who likes Meghan I always get attacked. I wouldn't take it personally in RL I would actually laugh - because you have to be Barking if you can just casually use such language. I've had thoughts about just lurking again.

jeffgoldblum · 22/09/2022 18:36

That's a bit odd isn't it?

LondonWolf · 22/09/2022 18:37

I was eating my tea but still should have been calling out a deleted post I didn't see and from that, it means I am 'slyly supporting' that post.

As I said, it was referenced a further six times. But no one saw a thing Grin. I tell you now, if anyone was called that on here no matter how much they or their views pissed me off, I would have called it out heavily, because it's disgusting, dehumanising and totally uncalled for, but not one of you did. The proof is there for all to see. Please do avoid me. I'd really love to be able to post on here without having what I say twisted, or the tenses changed to give it new meaning, or have it implied I am a long term nefarious, racist name changer.

LondonWolf · 22/09/2022 18:38

Ah I see so both sides just watched and didn't come to your rescue?

No, a few people spoke up actually. Faith restored Smile

Perhaps some people reported rather than get involved which is also good I think.

The removing Harry's ER one.

The removing Harry's ER one.

So it wasn’t even on this bloody thread, yet you have dragged it over here.
why not post about it on the thread where it happened

jeffgoldblum · 22/09/2022 18:46

Sorry to carp on but @unname , or any other poster who was here at the time , can you remember the vanished post and my reply? , was it rude ? , have I lost my marbles?

WTAF... there's no deleted posts on there. I have no idea what this is about.

Just personal attacks to be honest.

For goodness sake you've no idea what's going on or what's been said here or there have you? Why are you even commenting now? Go and have a look at both threads if you're so interested and don't bother quoting or mentioning me again, you'll be ignored.

LondonWolf · 22/09/2022 19:01

I'm not saying another word about this. I didn't even bring it up this time! Someone else did. I'm glad though because now everyone knows that those who preach kindness and dish out accusations of bullying and racism are just fine with other posters being called a cunt if they don't toe The Kindness Line Grin

Roussette · 22/09/2022 19:02

And you just go round launching personal attacks at everyone who doesn't call it out even if they were not online at the time.

Nice.

People are petty. I am sorry you experienced that.
It's hard to know who is behind a computer. I bet a huge majority of the people posting here wouldn't have the balls to post anything is they had to use their real names and photo ID to join this forum.

I imagine there wouldn't be so much hate on social media in general as well. If someone uses bad language or name calling it's likely they are a bully in real life. I always wonder if there are children posting sometimes or people just completely out of touch with life. Hopefully the forum owners dealt with it swiftly!

I never say anything on MN I wouldn’t say in RL. I know it’s possible to be identified by someone in RL as my friend and I spotted a school mum who started a cringeworthy thread about a personal issue. She never admitted it but the thread did get taken down after we contacted her!

Sorry, I don't remember seeing it (but maybe I did.) It's all moving too fast and frankly kind of triggering. I definitely did not see you post anything I thought was rude or against guidelines. You seem balanced!

smilesy · 22/09/2022 19:11

It was me that brought it up in relation to some posters complaining about I’ll treatment at the hand of othered earlier on. I just wanted to point out that this incident had happened and although it should have been condemned by other posters, it wasn’t and in fact as @LondonWolf said, some seemed to almost think she deserved it. So many of us reported it that MNHQ sent out a geneticist email, as I said. @Samcro, I’m afraid it did actually happen but it was not on this thread. No one was accusing you, I’m not sure why you thought that. But other posters definitely saw it- their posts immediately afterward and their interactions with the offending poster made that clear - but they did not say it was out of order. Which it absolutely was. When I brought it up on this thread, it was relevant to the discussion. Probably best to leave it there now though. I’m sure every agrees that there is no excuse for addressing language of that nature to another poster.

smilesy · 22/09/2022 19:12

Generic. Not geneticist 😂

Surprised you didn't get the "Well it was just an opinion" excuse.

Samcro · 22/09/2022 19:28

I have got wry confused by it all.
personal attacks are never ok.

but dragging stuff from one thread to another so that you can hound rouse the is very childish.

@jeffgoldblum could it have been deleted by mistake

PaperTyger · 22/09/2022 19:29

Where are h and m have they gone home?

Yes, they've been home a couple of days or more. I bet they were pleased to see their children.

jeffgoldblum · 22/09/2022 19:31

@Samcro , no apparently my language crossed into a personal attack, you can't say get in your box !

To be fair, Smiley was only responding to the accusation from another poster who claimed no poster with an opinion different her own ever complained when a poster majorly crossed a line with their insults. This was a very recent and excellent example of the reverse being true.

I think it would improve the conversations immensely if all posters stuck to point of the OP or at least things that happened in this decade. But I don't see that happening.
