Blogger/wrongthink thread wrongly deleted

[Popchyk]

The thread about Margaret Nelson who blogged about biological sex after death (which warranted a call from the police who subsequently apologised to her) has just been deleted because "it is an ongoing criminal investigation".

This is simply not true.

There are no criminal proceedings pending. And never were. Which was exactly the point of the thread.

I've reported this new thread so that we can get the original thread reinstated.

How bizarre.
It was never criminal and it's not ongoing.
I wonder who is on duty tonight.

Can you report as well, Countess?

I've asked for the thread to be reinstated.

I imagine they are referring to my police visit! Hadn't realised my involvement would cause the thread to be deleted. Apologies

Mumsnet please feel free to delete my comments from the original thread, and reinstate.

A contributor to that thread mentioned an ongoing investigation into their own online presence, which is what I assume MNHQ are referring to as posters were discussing that earlier (I've just gone back for an update and seen it's deleted)

Oh, I see Shark.

Yes, I'll also ask them to delete your comments specifically where they relate to criminal proceedings. And reinstate the rest.

Ta.

HQ; please reinstate the thread.
Shark; hang in there.

Shark 🍷

Mumsnet, you got this one wrong. Please reinstate.

Yes. MNHQ - could we have the thread back without Shark's comments, please? Presumably that was the problem?

@MNHQ please reinstate. This is an important thread.
Shark has said she doesn't mind her comments being deleted.
Shark - Feel free to DM if you need anything.

Hello everyone - sorry for the delay. We've now reinstated the thread and have withdrawn Shark's comments.
Thanks for your patience.

Thank you, we know you're all busy today.

Brilliant.

Thanks so much.

Thank you, Mumsnet! Again, apologies, no more from me until legally allowed :)
