The departure of dittany

[Pan]

I only know that she has left, and in her post she didn't say much as to why, though some people can speculate and imagine why.

Quite a few days ago (last weekend I think) there were threads that pinpointed the lack of consideration that MNHQ has toward the sort of trolls that infest the FS section from time to time - different in nature and purpose to your average troll that infects MN from time to time.

It may well be that d. is in contact with regular posters whom she trusts. I don't know.

What I do know is that d. was a fabulous source of invigoration and illumination to a lot of posters, myself included, though we didn't always agree with her.

I would like a review from MNHQ of their current "talk guidlines" policy, in order that the FS is provided with a consideration that recognises the particular vulnerability that it experiences.

D. left for her own reasons - but this presents itself as a sort of 'test case' for MN to respond sensitively.

Would anyone agree and post here in support of this?

O dear. This is almost comical.

Taking the time to tell someone you don't have the energy to engage with them is a bit counterproductive don't you think? And calling them a 'wanks stain' is perhaps letting slip of the moral high ground just a tad.

I might actually come back to the feminist board now if dittany really has gone. but now I think sleep is the more pressing issue.

Bahhh, where did Pan lie about you?

pan youre a riot of contradiction
plea to review talk policy and decency to respect recently flounced posters etc but wankstain,to someone else,hey thats a fond felicitation?

Bob's more than earned that title, imo

pan and bob want to take your wee spat some place else?
given suggestion we are all supposed to be asking mn to review talk guidelines and parameters of how posters speak to each other

no SM - I could be 'deleted' for calling Bob a wank-stain. Happy with that.

I am not a troll though.

See the difference?

no,i see bumptious posturing and boo hoo about a flouncer

ok SM. That's fine.

"bumptious"?

AF, they're destined to be together, aren't they? In the words of someone from Hercules... "I haven't seen this much love in a room since Narcissus discovered himself!"

Bob, I hate to say this, but I find your posts a bit boring.

The expression change the record comes to mind.

Is he gone?

Thank god...

All together now:

There's a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery
An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
(Coo-coo, coo-coo)

Has Bob really gone?

Again?

pan
tbh....i dont respect a lot of men
my respect dissappeared the minute i was raped[and nearly murdered]
no matter what i ever did....i could never get my respect for men back fully.
something just went.
im actually finding this very hard to write but what i want to say is....
im sitting back and noticing what youre saying on this thread....im liking what youre saying...respect to you.
i actually think you will understand what im trying to say.
and thankyou[i think you will understand this aswell]

Blimey, yet another thread about it all. Yet again, it's full of personal attacks and has descended to the level of opposing ranks of schoolkids, thumbing noses and calling names. Thank god this isn't what feminism's about - though that may come as news to some.

What gomez wrote at 00:02:

"The Feminist section is not special. There is nothing about a feminist be they radical or not that requires protection or special treatment. As we are often informed on that Board feminism is a political movement - proponents of any movement need to accept people disagree with them. Comparisons with relationship or SN boards are spurious.

"If you choose to fight for your cause and state your position at every opportunity then you need to do so in the knowledge that you people will disagree. And your chosen position is no more worthy than theirs, particularly on a general Internet forum."

(my bold)
From me, too. That's the grown-up way to do it.

Well, thank you brokendreams.

I did read some of that which you wrote a few days ago, but didn't say anything because others did say what I felt like saying.

I think I do understand, a bit, of what you are saying now.

All Ican say here and now is to keep posting?
