MUMSNET ! Have a heart - pull these threads

[MaturingCheeseball]

Even now there are vile posters wallowing in the Catherine news. Please don’t give them an outlet.

Absolutely!

Agreed.

I would say don't delete, but collate them all into one place. There is no need for 10 new threads a day.

Why? Tney didn’t give her cancer.

This pitchfork finger pointing is almost as tiresome as the gossiping itself.

everyone needs to just shut the fuck up.

Agree

And just to add that people are now making a point of making those conspiracy threads appear in active because they can’t help but go over there and give a lecture.

this is the upshot of marrying into the most famous family in the world.
Of course it’s very worrying/ sad that a young woman has cancer and she has my every sympathy.
But if you become part of the royal family of course people are going to talk about you/ be interested in every aspect of you. The alternative is no interest in the royal family = no royal family. I know which I’d prefer.

A lot more people could do with your concern

Poor woman can't even be poorly in peace. Hounded into making a statement about her personal business, it's a disgrace!

Yep. Needs to stop now. Vultures

yes but people like you gave chance to trolls to make William look a murderer, abductor to his own wife and having affairs

So an individual should be hounded by the public and media to disclose her personal health details to satisfy your curiosity?? You and all the other speculators and vultures should be ashamed of yourselves. You’re a disgrace

Agreed, I hope those vile posters feel fucking guilty after the things that they said, disgraceful

They’re ecstatic with themselves. They think they’re just the best. Glad I don’t know anyone like them in real life.

There will be gossip, speculation etc. no matter what. This is big news as reported everywhere, so it is inevitable that people want to know more and discuss it.
Shutting down talk is not going to stop it. MN is not the centre of the universe regarding troll and insensitive posting either, this is Social Media today and is unstoppable.

They probably get warned that are nasty, pathetic people out there who are only happy when they’re being vile.

Can't you put them all in the Royal Family thread, then only people who want to read them can see them.

I have to say I have been on MN many years. It feels the most toxic it ever has been to me at the moment. Not only in relation to Catherine, the whole Christian Horner thing, Israel. I feel ss if there is a lot of posters wanting an argument. It is saf this site has come to this.

Maybe moderators need to be a bit stricter. I have had threads deleted for trying to get some feedback on my sisters website she created, after an absolutely horrendous birth experience, yet these nasty threads are allowed. I am certainly using the site less often. It seems to have lost its way. It is very sad as intelligent discussion no longer seems to exist.

seriously @mumsnet I've counted 12 threads in the Royal Family section alone. Chat, In the Newshave loads too.
Enough now.

It’s part of a bigger picture though, isn’t it?

The gutter press, Twitter, forums like this speculating and demanding answers have all had a part to play. They’ve all whipped up the baying mob that have been hounding the PoW.

@MNHQ pull the threads.

I don't know what drugs you're on op, but the whole point of an online forum is that you can discuss anything and everything on it. Why should one person be exempt from that just because they are in the royal family

Mumsnet also exists to make money.

they will be making loads from all these website hits.

@MNHQ agree

This , please pull all the rest .

TBH, all the threads are concerned and respectful.
This is the only one which is in any way offensive and ghoulish.
Don’t add to the drama OP.

I don’t really understand your message.

People are interested in the royal family, this is major royal family news and obviously has been for week.
If people stop being interested in them then the institution will fall. They are not better than us, but they do need us to gossip about them
