Attacks on Glinner on MN today - clearly his 2 articles today have been effective!

Lots of attempts to shoot the messenger today.

Thanks, Glinner for both articles, which are clear and helpful introductions to the issues to those new to the topic.

Thanks for writing them, donating your fee to WPUK and for all the shit you've taken for supporting women.

The purpose of that thread was (apparently) to engage Mumsnetters on FWR in a discussion about that OP's lengthily detailed "concerns" that Graham Linehan might be suffering from "mental health problems" - the "symptoms" (apparently) on display in Benjamin Boyce's recent YouTube interview with Linehan

I was on that thread and I think this misrepresents what the thread was about. Sadly since that thread has now been removed nobody can go and see for themselves what it was actually about.

Maybe not memento but this might be a useful hint...

I totally disagree with the posters who do not want men to speak up on this subject. I've just seen my brother, who is a major influencer, post Glinner's article on facebook. We need everyone on board for this fight, 51 pc of the population is not enough

NotTerfNorCis · 11/02/2020 13:09

^Are you the author of that post?
That little vertical line at the end of the text would indicate so...^

Hahahaha! Hoisted and petards come to mind.

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 11/02/2020 13:10

They appeared to be quotes to me

CuriousaboutSamphire · 11/02/2020 13:10

What the fuck is going on???

Wormhole opened and you all fell down it????

I have no idea what the hell is happening!

Glinner - journalist has GC leaning, wrote about it, good piece, thanks!

What the hell else is needed? Why all the frothing - both sides?

I don't get it!

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 11/02/2020 13:13

Im not frothing or in a wormhole

Whats a rabbit hole then...is it just any type of hole

CuriousaboutSamphire · 11/02/2020 15:11

I don't get it, Rufus It's that simple!

I would like someone to explain it so I do understand. That's why I venture into may threads on FWR.

Wormhole - either gaping great time sucking venture in space. Or inconsequential hole in ground

Rabbit hole - either gaping great hole in ground full of psychodelic ventires, or a larger hole, less inconsequential hole in the ground.

I am trying to work out if this weird one group of women I often look to to explain things versus another groiups of women I often look to to explain things argument has any merits and if so what are they?

It all seems vaguely incoherent, angry and circular. And disappointing!

They are quotes. Some are. Mine, some are swearys

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 11/02/2020 16:15

I thought they were amalfi

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 11/02/2020 16:16

curious

Im not sure i get it either

And all the hole talk has just distracted me further Grin

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 11/02/2020 16:17

I get the disappointment

But everyone is entitled to their opinion...the first two threads were full of opinions

CuriousaboutSamphire · 11/02/2020 17:04

I wasn't sure I got the points being made in them either. Far too self referencing and circular!

Maybe it's just me down a hole then! Grin

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 11/02/2020 17:31

I’ll give you a yell when its safe to come out of the hole curious

This will all blow over in a day or two...til the next time obviously

10FrozenFingers · 11/02/2020 17:35

Hero time. Well done Glinner.

MoleSmokes · 12/02/2020 01:37

OhGodWhatTheHellNow there were "pass the smelling salts lawks a-mercy!" mentions in the "being looked at" thread almost straight away, ie. that screenshots were being shared on Twitter "proving" that Mumsnetters were giving Glinner a good drubbing - with (amazingly) no mention of the articles in the Daily Mail and The Times Grin

I do wish now that I had archived the OP's many "Repent! Apologise! . . . Unless you are just insane of course, let us pity the poor creature!" posts - they were priceless! Grin

How extraordinary that that screenshot on Twitter apparently shows a draft of one of those posts! Psychic maybe? Time traveller??
