When you see threads plopped into FWR, especially the curious repeat of well worn subjects, I recommend you check for poster history before engaging.

There are a number of posts/posters/threads being referenced on twitter with screen shots & flagging in either MNHQ or outlets to try & get articles commissioned.

Not you, Floral! In the other thread, someone got very odd about my not being arsed to engage seriously with the OP and her mate.

FloralBunting · 24/11/2018 16:05

That's not to say I think there is zn obligation to engage at all, and there are times when I don't have the patience, and sometimes it shows. But it does have some worth on occasion.

Well, I will just say, I read the title and then avoided the the thread like the plague.
Me too.
It was one of those 'oh I was up in the night and just had a thought' starts, followed by 'boys and men are suffering because of women doing the feminisming', gets desired response and then 'I was only asking and look how you're treating me! I was right feminism is nasty' and so on.
I ended up drinking my coffee whilst down an internet rabbit hole of 'baby hedgehogs having a bath' gifs, so it turned out to be quite a nice start to my day Grin

AngryAttackKittens · 24/11/2018 16:26

With a detour into "well men aren't going to do anything to help boys so women will have to do it instead".

Threewheeler1 · 24/11/2018 16:39

AAK
Yep, it's always down to the women.
There have been loads of those threads lately, I'm starting to doubt my ability to spot them.
Also trying to avoid but sometimes I just want to get on and say 'oh fuck off, not in the mood' Angry

Just popping in to bathe in reality for a while. Grin

Does anyone have an implement to remove ones eyes from the back of one's head?

I believe Bunbury is planning to take her prototype device on to Dragon's Den soon. She's still working on a name for it - it's working title is 'The Greerballer, but I know she'd welcome other suggestions'.

ErrolTheDragon · 24/11/2018 17:11

I've been out today... if you're talking about the thread I think you are, I skimmed it and the only thing I remember was Lass totally agreeing with AAK at one point.

Pfft, I nearly dropped my phone in my coffee at that! Grin That whole thread was a fine example of "I know nothing but I'll pontificate anyway"...it should get an award.

NeurotrashWarrior · 24/11/2018 20:15

Ugh that thread. I posted but, Jesus. It's the only thread I've ever thought about hiding.

arranfan · 24/11/2018 23:11

Incoming on a highly-sensitive topic that doesn't ostensibly have much to do with FWR as such...

Wondering how best to classify this under than plopping but not on a well-worn topic...

AngryAttackKittens · 26/11/2018 10:34

Gawd, people, stop feeding the bloody sea lions!

arranfan · 26/11/2018 10:38

Well, yes. It does, particularly, feel like playing to socialisation to be accommodating and helpful.

I think a lot of internal Beryls or Beryl-like behaviours are rooted in the reflexive desire/need to help.

EmotionsDontEngageWithbrain · 26/11/2018 13:00

I was looking for the beryl thread last night, couldn’t remember if it was same thread about deprogramming/conditioning as could do with re-reading it. Its what helped me question about the recent newsflash but still felt I had to justify and apologise for raising doubts. I’m getting better at not apologising and feeling that disappointment when I can not full favours from people (users).

Btw I read few times cs pdf file after I removed myself from here while back and it made me cringe as some was fitting to me, some not all.

It still learning curve in me finding the balance between seeing things logically rather than from emotional point.

Didn’t want to post back in other thread but comments have been very helpful and insightful. I’m off to self analysis why I woke up like been stung in eyes by bees from crying ffs I wasn’t even at that event don’t know nor desire to meet that person either, I can’t change past, ex and his family long out equation which was my peace.

Really sorry for my salad waffling and jumping in here to post.

Beryl thread is the de-programming from self-harming kindness thread:

Flamin' 'eck, it's MRA central round here at the moment. Did someone leave the latch off the radicalization portal?

Bubonicpanic · 29/11/2018 21:07

Like I said on the plopped in "the future is lovely thread", Floral, the strategy has changed. Its all softly softly now, the children will want this in the future, could it be wonderful...

What is it with all the food-based life forms?

VickyEadie · 29/11/2018 22:49

Pissing me right off and no mistake.

I need a couple of days off, I think. Recharge batteries and all that jazz. Alternatively, invest in some wine and a drunken haze!
