Bunbury’s Public Service Announcement 2

[arranbubonicplague]

The useful Bunbury Guide to Spotting Community Disruptors is constantly evolving.

The best research and advice is not to engage with community disruptors and trolls. As ever, if you suspect troll activity, report it to MNHQ.

This is a continuation of the first Public Service Announcement thread:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3321127-public-service-announcement

If and when you see threads plopped into FWR, especially a curious repeat of well worn topics, maybe check for poster history before engaging.

There are a number of posts/posters/threads that are reproduced on Twitter or Facebook to foment controversy using screen shots & flagging to either MNHQ to have threads or posters deleted. Sometimes, it’s used to approach commissioning editors with ideas for articles. It’s a tiresome tactic that we’ve had several community disruptor posters who themselves post the comments that they then highlight elsewhere as purported evidence of racism, religious intolerance, anti-men sentiments, or transphobia.

Some helpful links in following posts.

I think this needs a bump today

A quick bump for a Saturday evening.

I am not sure of the etiquette of hoping good things will happen to Bunbury, or if indeed I should.

I've just been rummaging in my handbag for a bottle of lost gin.
I can't remember publishing any of that. Perhaps it was my naughty brother Gerald in one his charming wigs?

Mind you, it was very strong gin...

Are we allowed to yawn yet?

Anyway. Kleenex purchaser alert. Each reply is another tissue out of the box. Jus' sayin.

Does anyone want a fucking cookie? I don't want it

Snort. It must be a bored little basement dweller

I’m not commenting on that one, tedious...

Bunbury would have noticed that said poster mentioned misandry. Happily that was in an early post which saved me the bother of reading on.

Thank you Bunbury, so easy to forget her wise words.

Oh dear gels, did you just deny my chromosomal reality? Tsk. You can't invoke Bunbury without expecting some comment from me dears.

Twirls in new user name.

Would just like to remind people that my fictionality is not to be denied either, and it's always more fun when I remain a shadowy figure without deigning to appear on my own threads...

(What's that line in the Malcolm Bradbury modern thinkers crib book, Mensonge: "Whose non-existence was in many senses the central aspect of his existence..." Great book, btw, if you can track down the copy. About that cutting edge structuralist called Mensonge whose seminal work, "La fornication comme acte culturelle" was vanity published by a small Algerian press - yay, go breaking away from the Western European publishing hegemony - on yellow toilet paper.)

LOL! We knew already darling - you would never have assumed several posts concerning 13 pages of MRA Kleenexing was about your chromosomes. You've never been lacking in self awareness.

Thank you gels! , imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery. You are such a scintillatingly stimulating bunch.

It's very amusing to see the difference between someone who understands the rules of the game and can replicate the intricacies of academic discourse, and the GF who is a bit too stupid for that but has access to an online thesaurus...

Such a roomy echo chamber you've built yourselves here. Plenty of room room for the old ancestral sofa what? And some lovely bookshelves. And of course, the trusty gin cupboard. I shall make this a very comfy den for you all.

What larks we shall have!

I'm sure Germaine would like us to refer to her excellent advice as stated in the OP:

'The best research and advice is not to engage with community disruptors and trolls. As ever, if you suspect troll activity, report it to MNHQ.'

Although of course, in the context of this particular thread, worked examples and thread bumping can only be to the good.

Far too early for , have a and some nice [biscuits].

Now off you all scuttle to your "Super Sekret " Reddit den with the "No Boyz Allowed" sign. Make sure you're all wearing your comfy dog-whistle sweatshirts or you never know what riff-raff you might let in.

Be home for tea darlings, there'll be mountains of hard boiled eggs and ginger beer. Not tomention fruitcake and gin for your Aunty Germaine.

yep. Our two Bunbury channellers show us a person who sees Bunbury as a comfy paisley patterned auntie who only talks about gin, and a sharp academic whose wits have been honed by a long life who is also an older woman who wears paisley and enjoys gin

in short, it's the difference between seeing women as objects, where what they look like is their defining factor, and understanding that women are people

most educational. Thanks again Bunbury!

Yes, Bernard, very instructive. I'm really confused that the imposter seems to.think that 'seasoned academic' is convincingly channelled by using phrases like 'what larks!'

It could the impression that those who promote various anti woman ideologies are far too daft to grasp that academia is something more than 'posho' language from Enid Blyton. Not sure what else we could expect from sexist, lesbophobic and often very racist people, but it's never nice to be disappointed in humanity, is it?

Off out to enjoy the sun now, leaving the hairy handed trucker ever so clever trickster to their bollocks.

Now off you all scuttle to your "Super Sekret " Reddit den with the "No Boyz Allowed" sign.

For some reason I have this mental image...

Synchronicity.

I think the best thing is that this:

In response to this:

Kleenex purchaser alert.

WAS ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE ENTIRELY! The ego centrism is a true sight to behold.

The ego centrism is a true sight to behold.

Quite. Also revealing that an unrelated reference to Kleenex was assumed to be about the pale imitation. I wouldn't like to suggest that was because the imitation is a bit of a wanker, but I wouldn't be telling anyone else they couldn't draw that conclusion.
