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.

When a poster starts mansplaining how can we tell whether they are male or a transwoman?

I find these repeated attempts to silence women, on a site primarily for women, beyond unacceptable. Why should someone who identifies as a women not respect actual women enough to allow them a voice.

they really believe that this is a good look for them

I honestly think they do.

Same. I’m annoyed they even allow it

I'm just placemarking so that I can access this thread quicker from my threads I'm on tab.
Everyone is doing sterling work.

I'm always interested how often it's clear which sex a poster is without ever seeing them. Not always. But often.

Isn't that just the thing! It's mind blowing!

They flood the site with drivel so people lose interest.

Increasingly childish and paper thin drivel too. And when rational argument responds they more or less drum their heels now, it's getting quite pathetic.

Just post round them, there's really no point in engaging. It's a whole lot of Stop Talking To That and Talk To Meeeeeeeee, and I've got a toddler, I handle this shit all day. (The toddler's drivel is just as maddening but at least they're cute with it.)

I usually lurk rather than post on bunbury but I've arrived back after being mostly away for 24 hours to see a particular thread has jumped very quickly in post numbers in that time. Initially I was surprised but of course was less so on seeing who was participating.

It seems to have been targeted after a fairly quiet weekend.

Threads about lesbian rights often attract frothing

Oh my Zebras, perfect!

Agreed prawn, the socialization and entitlement just runs so deep.

they really believe that this is a good look for them

Just y'know... emphasising. None so blind.

I don’t post often but even I have felt the need to say something about the ridiculousness of the Lesbian Protest thread.

I’m shaking my head so much my brain is dizzy!

Give me the wisdom and strength, dear Bunbary, to bite my tongue on threads where the obvious bump is just for division and attention and stirring of the pot. Give me the strength not to do the thing they want.

😂 I know right

Delirium - that thread is beyond bonkers

The thing is, I’m not that upset about people very publicly losing their shit over lesbians being clear that they don’t have sexual relationships with males

If people want to be really obvious that making lesbians feel ashamed about their sexual orientation is the hill they want to post endlessly on......let ‘em

I often think that posting around the derailers is the best way to deal with them - cut off their narcissistic supply. But then I think of the people who are visiting for the first time and think how much they learn from the 'conversation'.

I like how you all seem to pass the baton so there is always an intelligent voice of reason there to respond to the narrow minded, limited thinking arguments that get repeated over and over and over again. I join in when I have time but get left behind by the speed of everyone else's responses and keyboard skills!

Yup. I'm still posting stuff on that there thread - trying not to get involved in the tit for tat - but that thread is the most demonstrative thread on lesbian erasure I've ever seen on here. It's eye-opening. The blatant hatred for lesbians calling themselves female homosexuals.

I’ve avoided the thread because I really find it horrible but I commend the women defending lesbians there.

It’s interesting to look at the twitter feeds of people who regularly disrupt threads.

Incredible freudian slips are resplendent on that thread now.....

Created cont. thread 3

Been away a week and think this has been the most useful catch up to current goings on thread

"Hang on a minute, lads (and lasses). I've got a great idea."
