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.

I think that the problem is that a lot of people think (rightly or wrongly) that they have a right to information and to discuss it as they "own" the RF.

I have heard more than once, about different things to do with them "Well we pay for them so we have a right to know". They forget that they are also human beings not just things to be gawped at. I think it was always a bit like that, the gossip around the abdication and the vile things said about Mrs Simpson are very similar to what is being said by some about MM, it just wasnt as overt as the papers were very "doffing the cap M'Lord". But the advent of the internet and the need to know NOW and to know every last little details of someones private life, has definitely made it worse.

I really hope she isn’t. But how do you know? The thing is. You don’t.

There have been 192k posts referencing 'Kate Middleton' alone on Twitter and rolling news coverage of this one issue on all the news channels. It'll be on the front page of all the papers over the weekend. I don't think a handful of mumsnet threads even amount to a drop in the ocean.

Millionth-ed

Spectacularly missing the point.

Take them down please.

There are at least 15 threads about the Duchess of Cambridge on here,bloody ridiculous.Come on MN moderators pull the lot of them.

Mumsnet police 👮‍♀️ have arrived

Agree. Please listen.

Can't help but remember when Meghan discussed her miscarriage and nearly committing suicide there were threads and threads. Selective kindness.

I mean when you’re in the RF you are probably told that there are a lot of nasty people out there so buckle up.

Agree OP . I actually feel queasy reading these threads . I was diagnosed with cancer , had surgery and treatment and am ( hopefully) ok now :
Telling my DGC and DGC was awful but I am not in the public eye .
Back off . And as for Scobie with his alarm clock post on Twitter - words fail me.

@Mylovelygreendress I hope you are doing okay 💐

Well it was spot on today - and I suspect they knew today was coming, when the children finished school. It was both watertight and moving not to mention extremely dignified.

But yes MN: please pull all the threads of totally redundant gossip and conjecture.

Yes awful.

Honestly what I've seen on here is lukewarm compared to the stuff still being posted on Twitter insisting this is a lie to cover something else up

Agree with this. When one is as high profile a person as Kate, the speculation and gossip goes with the territory and I doubt that she reads it. It may not be tasteful but it is what happens.

Twitter doesn't claim to be a site supporting parents.

'Well so-and-so does it' didn't work as an excuse when I was primary school age.

We don't all need to sink to the lowest level.

@Abouttimeforanamechange eh? Where did you get that from my post?

💯👏👏👏

These threads (the whole RF forum) are in extremely poor taste and disgustingly misogynistic.

The Nicola bully threads got pulled and speculation about such cases is no longer allowed on MN, rightly so.

Now do the same about posters nastily gossiping and badmouthing a fellow mum who is experiencing a very difficult life situation. Protect her and her dc.

And keep a level of human decency on these boards.

Where did you get that from my post?

Where did I get what? I quoted what you said.

What an amazing post.Exactly what is your point?

This is not Twitter,do we need to stoop as low as that,you obviously do,so perhaps you would do better on there.

100% backing this, some of the posts ive read are sickening.

@Abouttimeforanamechange implying I supported it?
