Bunbury’s Public Service Announcement 2

999 replies

arranbubonicplague · 30/11/2018 12:54

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.

The original thread was, um, well, it starts with Haddock so there's another fish joke in there somewhere.

Lexi's pose looks very awkward, they'll be needing a chiropractor if they keep that up.

VickyEadie · 08/12/2018 13:24

That Lexi didn't get it even when it was carefully explained to her, did she?

AngryAttackKittens · 08/12/2018 13:26

Lexi appears to be confused about a great many things.

If you understood the science of sexes you would understand that the idea of binary sexes was binned a long time ago as it’s impossible to use the genetic information available to create the desired two pillars, plus as I’m sure you’re aware a lot of people are born intersex

That's a cracker isn't it, AngryAttackKittens.

"Binned", eh? Only by the 'seriously-deluded-because-it's-the-only-way-for-their-nonsense-to-work' people.

I am rather taken with Lexi's self-comparison here and the complete re-imagining of the Sermon on the Mount:

However, it does seem like these are earnestly-held opinions.

Maybe it can be a new form of measurement - how batshit is this TRA talking point, on a scale of zero to sea bream?

VickyEadie · 08/12/2018 13:31

Yes, arran. Interesting also that Lexi accuses others of spending their lives harassing others on a thread specifically mentioning Haddock...the irony is strong there.

Katvonblackdeath · 08/12/2018 13:49

Oh that twitter thread. Anyone with a teeny tiny bit sense would have deleted that fish tweet.... hilarious....I AM NOT A FISH

Where do babies come from again?

AngryAttackKittens · 08/12/2018 14:05

From the ocean, obviously.

LangCleg · 08/12/2018 14:09

Is that where the storks find them?

AngryAttackKittens · 08/12/2018 14:11

The boring cis babies are found just sort of floating aimlessly, while the magical sparkly trans babies are plucked from the arms of adoring mermaids (by flying unicorns).

VickyEadie · 12/12/2018 17:53

I think this week's nonsense threads are arriving early...

deepwatersolo · 12/12/2018 19:12

and it is gone... sad. made me feel so superior...

VickyEadie · 12/12/2018 19:22

It did offer the opportunity for our visiting misogynist to be misogynistic, though.

Ereshkigal · 12/12/2018 21:36

What did I miss?

deepwatersolo · 12/12/2018 22:14

Oh Eresh, it was truly a novel perspective - for me at least. It amounted to equal rights meaning men are now also allowed to (physically) fight women, just as they do with men. Because it is apparently a long standing right of men to rough up other people (if they have equal rights, or something.) Not sure whether I am more flabbergasted by the idea of beating others up being a right, or by the idea that until this point in history, when equal rights were achieved, men never beat up women.

VickyEadie · 12/12/2018 22:16

Eloquently described, if I may say so.

Ereshkigal · 12/12/2018 22:19

Sounds a keeper!

ErrolTheDragon · 13/12/2018 09:34

OT but I'm horribly tempted to suggest adding banana...

Why did I click on that link, why, why, why?????

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 13/12/2018 13:55

@LangCleg can I message you? I need to ask you a favour. Don't want to just drop into your inbox without warning!

LangCleg · 13/12/2018 14:32

Tension - sure you can! That said, be aware: since Emmagate, I don't share any private information about anyone including myself via MN PM. I don't believe it to be secure.
