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.

'Defamation is the umbrella term used for libel and slander – the publication or vocalisation of information, opinions or thoughts that can be damaging to the reputation of an individual or business. '

The main defamer of a certain medical person seems to be that person himself, tbh.

CharlieParley · 03/04/2019 15:30

Cocolepew Exactly. As females making judgements about males, it is the mere existence of a past conviction for violence that matters, not a legal instrument designed to help rehabilitate criminals.

When we assess males as private individuals we are in the business of keeping ourselves, our loved ones and each other safe and most decidedly not in the business of rehabilitating violent males. There is neither a legal nor a rational reason for us to ignore the violent past of any male.

That certain people refuse to understand this despite repeated, detailed and patient explanations of this is one of the flashiest, loudest klaxons proclaiming manhood there is.

Carowiththegoodhair · 03/04/2019 15:30

Frivolous and vexatious is identical language to that being used on the website making violent and sexual threats.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 03/04/2019 15:31

Wow. Nice wording there Charlie-cat.

stephLDS18 · 03/04/2019 15:31

@Datun

I do note your comments about "ownership". I believe that anyone publishing private information about another in such a way as to be formally warned by those who operate (for example Twitter) really do need to address their unacceptable behaviour. Adhering to the rules of the social media site concerned is just a basic act of respect.

We cannot engage in reasonable debate and address any reasonable concerns that anyone may have if contributors cannot publish in measured tones. There is far too much unpleasantness in online discourse these days. Things one would never say direct to another are said far too easily in the online realm. I am sure everyone here agrees that it is important we remain civil to each other. Anyway, I digress. As I say, doxxing people is unacceptable. The best support we can all offer Caroline is to advise (gently and in the spirit of friendship) that she reflect on the conduct that caused the Twitter authorities much concern that they felt the need to formally warn Caroline. I am happy, as a fellow MN member, to offer that support in my own small way.

Reflection, taking ownership, and (when appropriate) penance. It is the Christian way.

Cocolepew · 03/04/2019 15:34

Blimey you really do think we're all thick as pig shit.

Datun · 03/04/2019 15:35

Gosh Hayden, do you want some mayo to go with that salad?

I see that communication isn't really one of your key skills.

Anyway, how about offering up some remorse for the crimes that the women here are concerned about?

nicenewdusters · 03/04/2019 15:35

You can self- identify your sad criminal past into a theoretical dustbin if you like Steph. The trouble is, people on here live in the real world of facts.

I was at university with undergraduate law students, they had a tenuous hold of the facts and how to present them, as they were just learning. The way you write reminds me very much of them, so I'm guessing you're not very competent in your field.

You're certainly not very competent at identifying as the opposite sex. I guess this is at the heart of your neurosis ? I'm comfortable in my sexuality, so I don't stalk women over the internet. Funny that.

littlbrowndog · 03/04/2019 15:36

Hayden. Welcome back to nuttersnet 😂😂😂😂😉😉

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 03/04/2019 15:36

Just to remind everyone, that someone tone policing us here, has referred to us as:

Hostile extremists

Idiots

And Nutters

That person also refers to this support thread as a ‘battle’

Steph you're better on Twitter.
Maybe it's the character count here, but it makes you sound bombastic.

As for the offer of your friendship, I'm sure Caro has had less toxic offers.

Thanks so much for your support though. Blessed be.

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 03/04/2019 15:38

Oh that person also refers to Mumsnet, as a ‘playground’

Someone definitely has Mummy issues

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 03/04/2019 15:38

Yes but twitter gets upset by biology so you can't really go by what they think.

There is far too much unpleasantness in online discourse these days. Things one would never say direct to another are said far too easily in the online realm. ok, so far so good...

is to advise (gently and in the spirit of friendship) that she reflect on the conduct that caused the Twitter authorities much concern that they felt the need to formally warn Caroline. and 'boom'! You bought it back there.

Please just admit that people have been threatening Caroline - and her family - and yes that funny little pic and comments about visiting her husbands church is also included.

'You brought this all on yourself young lady' is just unpleasant.

And sorry to bring it up again - the 'alleged' golf incident was a real thing, yes? Yet there is a refusal to 'take ownership' or even say 'yes, it was a dreadful thing, a folly of youth (whatever) I AM SORRY'. Yet words on a screen that someone doesn't like and its 'burn baby burn'?

Cocolepew · 03/04/2019 15:38

#Nuttersnet really isn't going to happen

Datun · 03/04/2019 15:39

Maybe it's the character count here, but it makes you sound bombastic.

Absolutely. In the absence of levity, you should maybe plump for brevity?

FloralBunting · 03/04/2019 15:39

Och, pay no heed, visiting word salad servers are clearly trying to fill up the thread.

There'll be another, with another clearly stated support thread title. Perhaps MNHQ could take a continuing dim view of narcissistic bullying on a support thread. That'd be great.

stephLDS18 · 03/04/2019 15:39

@Cocolepew

Absolutely not! There are some fine contributions to this thread and some rather repetitive and irrelevant ones; however, what is important, is that we are all exercising our hard won rights to freedom of expression. That is important. Our ancestors fought two world wars to protect such freedom. Another set of freedoms hard fought for, won, and being defended, are the rights under the Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights allowing transgender people to live the lives that they were meant to live. Wonderful rights such as the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and s.7 of the Equality Act 2010.

I have 'seen the light'. Instead of being critical of the fine contributors to threads such as this I feel it is important to engage in this safe space. I thank everyone for this wonderful opportunity.

RetiredNotExpired · 03/04/2019 15:40

Not read much of this thread... but "I have evidence in the form of a twitter ruling" . Really? Twitter "rulings" make many of us seethe with their bias and inconsistency ... "evidence in the form of a twitter ruling" strikes me as both deluded & desperate.

nicenewdusters · 03/04/2019 15:40

Twitter is definitely better for the key board warriors. More than 150 is a big number. When you get past there you have to start making cogent arguments, not throwing around comments about golf clubs.

Datun · 03/04/2019 15:40

#Nuttersnet really isn't going to happen

I know. I hate to say it, but nutter is a bit, I don't know, soap opera-esque, circa 1980.

stephLDS18 · 03/04/2019 15:41

@littlbrowndog

Thank you. So kind to welcome me to this forum.

Cocolepew · 03/04/2019 15:41

Yeah. You do.

nicenewdusters · 03/04/2019 15:42

Gosh Steph you are boring. One of the best things about MN is the humour and the level of knowledge. You lack both, shame.

littlbrowndog · 03/04/2019 15:43

What’s the forum called Hayden ?

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 03/04/2019 15:43

Twitter authorities 😂 Twitter is a cesspit that allows all kinds of abuse aimed at women, including McKinnon wishing we all died in a grease fire. I mean fuck, who would use twitter as some sort of example of what’s reasonable
