Hi I'm a long time lurker, who read with disgust the last thread and wants to send Thanks, to caro. I've scanned since last thread finished for new one but no luck! Hope no one minds if I start one!

Well somebody just pointed out that by sharing the picture Harrop is also breaching the rules so he's deleted it now.

happydappy2 · 02/05/2019 20:45

Silly boy! Again and again......

Genderfreelass · 02/05/2019 20:57

Bluest itch that's hilarious.

I agree with others it is best not to respond to some people as it will make them worse. Might be best to quietly keep a record of everything that happens ready for trial and not engage or publicise their efforts. This doesn't mean giving in its playing a smarter game IMO.

Caro I hope you are ok, try and relax and do something nice.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 02/05/2019 21:27

I agree we all need to grey rock. I feel guilty that what I thought of as solidarity and community support may have stoked the fires. These people are skilled and experienced narcissists. We need to starve them of oxygen.
Caro, massive warm wishes to you. I hope you're surrounded by love and support tonight.

Hirsutefirs · 02/05/2019 22:41

Why communicate with nutters who sue people who communicate with them?

Unless you like this sort of thing, of course.

nauticant · 02/05/2019 22:45

Perhaps they've been goaded into it by a group of people conducting a number of harassment campaigns that are driving the poor woman to distraction.

I'm not sure how I'd cope if I were the target.

littlbrowndog · 02/05/2019 22:50

Caro has lovely family. Lovely kids lovely husband

There we go

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 02/05/2019 23:05

Well, the silver lining her is surely that Hayden (and Harrop) can surely not turn up at Carolines door anymore to frighten her.

Of course, I expect the abuse will just conitnue from the many sock accounts known to beliong to various TRAs, or other TRAs themselves, I wonder if Harrop will be able to contain himself. How on earth they are trying to spin this as a win for Steph I do not know? Steph attempted to silence a woman using intimidation techniques, and while technically granted, Stephs own beaviour was noted, threats were known, and they basically got themselves the exact same punishment, despite being the one trying to bring the charges?!

Datun · 02/05/2019 23:13

And were told that the way they had portrayed the issue was certainly not how it actually occurred.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 02/05/2019 23:18

I see it's being reported on bbc website (rather one sided). I wouldn't google it as it has a photo of the wistful lawyer gazing soulfully into camera. And it's nearly bedtime.

Absolutepowercorrupts · 02/05/2019 23:20

Caro just to say support for you Flowers
This too, will pass, God knows when or how it will happen but sanity has to prevail.
Everybody tells us when we're children to stand up to bullies, you're giving your best shot, stay strong

RubberTreePlant · 02/05/2019 23:20

More to the point, @LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD some of us have only just eaten Smile

stumbledin · 03/05/2019 00:28

The report on the BBC website is word for word the same as the report in many other papers. It seems to have come from the Press Association.

But the papers, unlike the BBC who are just so careful to be woke, have not published any picture.

GeordieGenes · 03/05/2019 02:18

I wonder if Harrop is considering identifying as a lawyer too? Maybe he needs a change of career...

Outanabout · 03/05/2019 06:25

The most ridiculous thing to come out of this was the judge talking about misgendering being such a bad thing to do. No one cares when it's done to a woman like Lady Gaga.

DancingRaven · 03/05/2019 06:41

Buckle up, there are two more victims awaiting judgement. Scottow and The Mail on Sunday.

SophoclesTheFox · 03/05/2019 06:52

Hope things settle down a bit for you now, Caroline. I think we can safely say that while yesterday’s result was a bit disappointing, overall you’re ahead. I’d take great comfort in your shoes knowing that they really haven’t got a lot else going on in their lives other than this, and your world is richer, happier and more loving.

Have a fab weekend and don’t let them get you down.

HandsOffMyRights · 03/05/2019 07:08

Caroline, so many of us would have crumbled under such treatment, especially with children being involved.

I'm disappointed with the Judge's take on misgendering when you have been hounded to the extreme.

I hope when this goes to court again you get a female judge. Sex shouldn't matter when you are examining the law, but we all know that it does, sadly.
I'm so sick of female victims being bullied and then having to prove why and then being treated poorly by the justice system.

In life, there is the old boys network, jobs for the boys, Masonic lodges, gentlemen's clubs. Males sticking together and being celebrated for it. Because so many males are in positions of power, women lose out.

Carowiththegoodhair · 03/05/2019 08:01

Hello everyone. Huge huge thanks for the support, both on here and financially.

One utterly brilliant thing about yesterday is that it gave me and DH a chance for a date night in the pub afterwards with lots of lovely people.

Some amazing women came and stood outside the High Court in the rain with some placards and t-shirts.

I'm feeling extremely upbeat. But as a result of today, I have decided to take a break from Twitter and cut back on the rest of my social media use, until the court case(s) are resolved.

This is partly because of legal advice. More importantly, it's because I simply want to remember what it feels like to be a mother, wife and frankly a human being.

Onwards and upwards. Adult Human Female.

TimeLady · 03/05/2019 08:06

Wise move, Caroline. Enjoy the break.

FannyCann · 03/05/2019 08:06

I'm not so sure a female judge can be counted on. Hmm
Regarding misgendering I know some people play safe especially here and twitter and use preferred gender. Personally I find it increasingly easy to say what I want without using a pronoun, either 3rd party writing or name or initials. It doesn't always read elegantly but I think it's worth the effort. It's good training for when/If/ I have to do it in real life. Life without pronouns isn't hard!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 03/05/2019 08:06

Go well (and I mean that genuinely and in the nicest of possible ways)!

nauticant · 03/05/2019 08:16

That's very sensible Caroline. It's good you're seeing the positives in this upsetting business.

Hopefully if you have a lower profile those harassing you will get bored and will look elsewhere.

AnyFucker · 03/05/2019 08:22

All the best Caroline Flowers

GirlDownUnder · 03/05/2019 08:40

Caro you definitely deserve some self care, and lots and lots of date nights!

You've been so resolute, not many would have kept on going so Thanks
