Caroline, I am honestly almost in tears looking at your Twitter feed tonight. Sad

Her kids have been doxxed by the good doctor.

She is continuing to receive harassment from TRAs. Someone has just sent a pizza to her house.

We all need to get behind her. They think she's a weaker target because of her Catholic views, I'm sure. Let's get on Twitter and report everyone that is sending her abuse.

With respect this is absurd. You feel you can come on a public forum and publish comments about specific individuals and expect no reply? Seriously?

@MNHQ the OP is making constant defamatory references to me and expects to be able to do so without any right of reply. I am happy for this thread to continue. If the OP feels anything published by me on this thread is inappropriate then she has legal remedies. In exactly the same way as I have such remedies.

Invading a support space is textbook abuse

^ this

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 02/04/2019 15:30

stephLDS18, I say this gently, I really do.

Your documentation may well say "F" and that along with hormones, surgeries, wardrobes, make up, wigs, SLT, whiskers on kittens, whatever - none of that makes you female like me.

I'm sorry, I do realise it's tough to take.

It is.

Occasionally men try to do it on the transwidows thread. It's about as clanging as this attempt.

Bluestitch · 02/04/2019 15:30

Christ this is a masterclass in abusive behaviour. Keep going Steph, behaving in a way I've seen no woman do, ever.

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 02/04/2019 15:30

Caro not Carpo! 🤦🏼‍♀️

sanluca · 02/04/2019 15:30

Caro, Just to offer you support. I see what is happening, we all do. It is amazing how offended certain groups of people are by words but when the shoe is on the other foot all of a sudden it is just banter and just words.

Tip for anyone: if someone says they personally feel threatened by your language on a thread about them, stop and leave them alone.

This of course does not apply to generic topics of discussion, non personal threads etc.

Carowiththegoodhair · 02/04/2019 15:30

My deleted post referred to a violent history as has been widely referred to in the public domain and a ‘smashing blouse’ which is a homage to Rik Myall. Funny what gets allowed to pass here.

FFS this is like watching the playground bully Hmm

stephLDS18 · 02/04/2019 15:31

"Invading a support space"?

This is a public forum Jessica. Serious allegations have been made about a range of individuals (including myself). Which part of "I am entitled to reply" do you not understand?

The subject of this thread is engaged in exactly the sort of behaviour of which you and your friends complain. You are entitled to your view, and I am entitled to mine. That is "debate". Apparently, that is what you want.

For anyone who posts, caro, there are hundreds who lurk. Believe me. There are hundreds of thousands of women right now on this particular board.

Barristers, judges, police officers, journalists and MPs.

RedToothBrush · 02/04/2019 15:31

Good law is worded in simple English and is pretty easy to understand. It is generally very logical and straightforward and makes lots of references to intent.

When talking about stuff like this understanding the concept of public interest is also pretty useful.

I must say that this thread has been very useful in terms of helping me think.

The political nature of this is also highly enlightening.

Caro please don't engage. It's upsetting you and its exactly the intent.

stephLDS18 · 02/04/2019 15:32

@vivariumvivariumsvivaria

Not at all. You are entitled to your opinion and I have to accept that you do not agree.

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 02/04/2019 15:32

Past convictions for disorderly behaviour, indecent assault and dishonesty. You don't get to decree that these are not relevant to how people perceive you

Regardless of a name change, any person with convictions does not get to erase them or say they have no ‘current convictions’ as if that’s somehow relevant, even if they obtain a GRC. A persons criminal past is never erased.

LimeKiwi · 02/04/2019 15:33

You feel you can come on a public forum and publish comments about specific individuals and expect no reply? Seriously?

@stephLDS18 I see where you're coming from there, I honestly don't understand when people think they're in a little safe space, it's a huge massive international PUBLIC forum that's open for everyone to read.
Sometimes people that get spoken about on MN are actual MNers themselves (not specifically aimed at this board, just in general) it's not all hidden away like some like to think, it's real, actual people.

BettyFloop · 02/04/2019 15:34

What kind of lowlife stomps all over a thread of support for a woman who's obviously going through it Hmm

One of 12 million standing up to be counted here Caro
Stay strong - we've got you Flowers Flowers

littlbrowndog · 02/04/2019 15:35

Yeah caro go get a cuppa tea

It’s upset me and don’t even involve me personally but the relentless way this has gone on has been really shocking

Unbelievable

stephLDS18 · 02/04/2019 15:35

@JessicaWakefieldSVH

I have no such convictions. Repeat it all you want it does not make it true. Smear me all you like, I do not care. As I said earlier the person who made the original post on here stating that (in November 2018) will shortly be identified as the Defendant in those proceedings does not oppose my application for an order identifying that individual ;)

MsMcWoodle · 02/04/2019 15:36

I do like to see you tweet steph, but as Caro doesn't need the extra targeting I wish you would discontinue here.
Apart from that, everything you do works against you so directly that I wonder what on earth you think you are achieving.
I also wonder what you think 'alleged' means. What with you being a lawyer and everything.
Support to you Caro.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 02/04/2019 15:36

stephLDS18 I'd really like to understand the ways in which we are the same, then. Because the legal system has it all muddled up and it is causing endless problems for everyone.

You have XY chromosomes, which belong to the male sex class. I have XX which are female.

So, how are we of the same sex class? I'd genuinely really like to understand.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 02/04/2019 15:36

Oh yes, people are at liberty to behave like plonkers on here

It’s just that, yanno, everyone can see them

It’s most educational

This is a support thread. You are invading it. Nobody wants a debate. It’s here for support to a genuine MN user. It is my subjective opinion your only intention is to bully, to centre yourself in a thread offering support to a woman who has been harassed for months, and because you seek attention. That is my ‘subjective opinion’. It also aligns with your tweets calling this a ‘battle’ and using ableist language, as well as referring to us as extremists. It is my subjective opinion your own advocacy is actually what is extremist. Forcing yourself into a space you are not welcome. Repeatedly.

Datun · 02/04/2019 15:37

Yes Caro, you go off and ignore this. You see the support you have, which was the intention of the thread.

Let Hayden keep on Sherpering away.
