AIBU to think that if MN are willing to boycott certain groups on ethical grounds

[APartridgeAmongThePigeons]

they really should take a look at banning posters proclaiming themselves MRAs?

Sexist,

often racist,

frequently rape/ domestic violence deniers

I know that mumsnet want to keep a lively discussion going and not ban free speech but when they join a forum mainly used by women it's hard to believe it's not about being goady and spewing propaganda.

The result is that normal posters get angry..
engage...

And then get deleted or banned for "personal attack".

Using a nasty word for someone who has by just stating that they are an MRA has basically said you don't matter as a human seems the normal response.

Or they are defusing someone's jibes. Many possibilities.

Ugh, what is your point treen?

Sorry Sabrina, that was a reply for earthmitter

So what is your point?

Read earth's last post, then mine. If there are further questions I'll answer

Yeah - the question is - what is your point, treen?

My point was that there wasn't just two options (thick or disingenuous)

Either of those, I think.

Treen, are you saying that I can't choose which options to focus on?

I thought the whole thrust of your argument was that "people will rightly focus on whichever issues they want" I am focusing on people being thick and disingenuous.

Earth, no at all. I was giving you an extra option. You got that by talking directly to the source. No misrepresentation

What do you mean treen?

But in suggesting that you are not being consistent in allowing me to focus on whichever issues I want. Jeez, it's hard all this stupidity and and disingenuity, isn't it?

Sabrina, I'm saying I added an option. I didn't tell earthmitter what to focus on

But I only want to focus on the options I want to focus on, as you suggested upthread.

You added an option? How kind of you.

Would you be kind enough to tell us what your point is?

Earth, it's up to you. Language is ambiguous.

So what's the point of this then, Treen?

Well, it is when you're posting, treen, that's for sure.

Sabrina, the option wasn't kind, more clarification.

The point, up thread, in a nutshell is that it's hard to detract personal circumstance from deciding what issues are important. Secondly, is it right to say what issues are important and not.

Sabrina, do you mean it only is when I'm posting?

I'm glad you agree with me, Treen :)

mmm.. not much of a point then? More of a posture ? Or a erm... distraction?

I didn't class it as a 'point'. I wondered why you kept asking????
Earth, I'm not sure whether I agree with you? What about?

I'm assuming you have read something I have written and agreed with it. So that's all good. I'm pleased we are on the same page and you agree

I think we just need a needle dick emoticon.
