Absolutely flabbergasted at the turn this thread has taken. Wishing I had something clever to contribute.

Just... are we still allowed, as mums, to say that pedophiles are bad and dangerous and that rules to protect children should not be loosened in ways that give pedophiles more opportunities to harm children?

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 17/11/2019 23:05

Watch someone report that last comment as a "personal attack", and the mods agree with them because what is context?

We should be safe if we type upside down.

Safeguarding so last year. Fuck that safeguarding.

Will this save our sanity?
Did you know that everyone can't read upside down or backwards. I did not know that until recently.

I wonder what percentage of the monitor ɹǝsol population cannot read upside down

Okay, you win.

Aaaaaaaand - on a serious note: WTAF, Mumsnet? When we say the monitors do you read all trans people? Cos that doesn't say a great deal for your understanding of the boards you're moderating. At all.

AnyFucker · 17/11/2019 23:33

Thankyou langcleg for introducing me to upsidedownspeak

I think henceforth we should use upsidedownspeak when really we mean utterbollocks to avoid offence deletions
Can't argue with that

Catmaiden · 18/11/2019 00:23

I can read it upside down, and backwards.
Am I weird? I'm weird, aren't I? misses point

Creepster · 18/11/2019 00:45

Yes you are, and so am I. I confess I was somewhat shocked to discover this about myself, but not about you.

AnyFucker · 18/11/2019 06:15

I find it easy to read too

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 18/11/2019 06:19

Most of it is easy to read but adding italics too is just taking the piss.

Clymene · 18/11/2019 06:20

Yes me too. It's a handy skill because for some reason, a lot of people don't think it's possible and leave information you're not supposed to read in plain sight when they're talking to you Wink

Also reading from the bottom of the page up (and upside down) can be very handy to get the gist of a document.

What @vickyjgo said.

FloralBunting
I think the only person on the thread that has linked is vickyjgo

Seriously? You're turning it round on vicky as the one doing it?
Come off it for FFS, there's a word for that.
Gaslighting.
I can see at least one post standing where someone has.
Didn't see what the deleted ones said, but seeing as it's on the thread elsewhere could be that.
I'm not surprised MN aren't getting back with "what did I do?!" emails when even when someone attempts to answer you get twisty responses like florals!

LangCleg · 18/11/2019 09:06

Just to clarify, MNHQ: it is now forbidden to make negative generalisations about the self-described network that regularly monitors Mumsnet which includes both trans and non trans people and is nicknamed the monitors hereabouts?

Yes? No? Will the rules be amended to reflect this?

I’m liking the idea of upside down writing to protect ourselves from deletion. I’m really wanting to give something risky a go.

Oh, Wotcha, are you one of the sweet sorts who don't know that we're referring to the weakening of safeguarding by those pushing a trans privilege line, thus allowing predators to predate? You really think this whole thing is us saying trans people are all paedos?
Is this one of those cases where the monitors are simply too bloody stupid to realize that if you open a door on a submarine to let someone in, you won't be able to keep the water out?
