Suzanne Moore - naming and shaming

[Haworthia]

Suzanne Moore is naming and shaming her Guardian colleagues/friends who signed the letter condemning her column. She’s obviously feeling completely betrayed but I’m worried this is going to backfire for her. Tell you what - massive balls though.

Hahahahahaha at the MN Shop Bot spam. Spamming their OWN boards. Lordy.

Anyway, I came here straight from Twitter. Wow. I think I have a crush on Suzanne Moore.

Fine, disagree with her. But she is right - signing a petition without speaking to her is cowardly in the extreme.

Of course it will backfire. But I think she has no fucks left to give. She'll get work elsewhere, no doubt about it.

A bot advertising holidays and all! Nice one, MNHQ 👍

Go, Suzanne, and let the cards fall where they may. With you all the way!

Ovaries of steel!

Love her. And none of the people she named surprise me in the least. Pathetic cowards.

Hi, can someone please explain to someone that doesn’t know what’s going on? (I know who Suzanne Moore is, so that’s a start! and also aware of her guardian article) What is the MN Shop bot spam?

SameOldHorrorStory There's a whole bunch of stuff here, hun. www.peaktrans.org/suzanne-moore/

Crikey! What a load of cowards.

Ok, thanks, but I don’t think those links are relevant to this thread because this was created late night yesterday and none of those links are dated today or yesterday.

I was asking about: Naming and shaming colleagues.

And if people are in the know then I’m sure this makes sense, but to me, who isn’t I dont have any idea what this exchange means:

1. Hahahahahaha at the MN Shop Bot spam. Spamming their OWN boards.

They've gone now - but posts ostensibly from MNHQ advertising a discount on Hoseasons holidays posted by a 'MN shop bot' began appearing as the second post on virtually all threads started past 11.30pm. See here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/3853243-Appallingly-timed-in-thread-ads

For Suzanne Moore, have a look at her Twitter feed. She has named and shamed colleagues publicly who did not have the courtesy to tell her in person that they disagreed with her opinion on women's rights.

She's named a whole bunch of people she clearly feels personally betrayed by. Fair do, I reckon. Why not? - sign your name to something = have it be known publicly. She is unrepentant and rightly so.

It's been going on all day. Advertisements inserted in OPs and comments.

Thank you @NoSquirrels

I love her. I totally understand why she would do this. So much about support for trans ideology seems to be about blind faith. It needs bringing into sunlight and holding up to reason each time.

It also helps me to know which columnists have less integrity, are less able to exercise critical thought etc.

Eva Wiseman! Simon Hattenstone!

Jesus there has been some seizing up of brains, integrity and ethics at the Guardian.

It is not run by grown ups at all.

I used to have a subscription for the tokens. Got sick of whiny features, non stop recipes etc and cancelled. They didn’t even send me the most basic ‘sorry you have cancelled, could you tell us why’ tick box questionnaire.

Hold tight, Suzanne. And you are right: it is about free speech.

Go Suzanne!

The sense of betrayal is comimg off those tweets. These are people she knows and works with - can you imagine how it would feel to have your work colleagues basically sign a denunciation about you because of your opinion?! I would be fucking incandescent. These people are writers, could they not have used their words and just told Suzanne they disagree?

Obviously none of that applies to LOJ, I would be sorely disappointed if he wasn’t front and centre to put the boot into a disobedient woman.

Looking at the thread, it seems overwhelmingly supportive.

Found this, which pleased me. Not specifically GC, but supportive of Suzanne.

If you are signing a letter publicly condemning someone, you have made your views open to public scrutiny, surely?

Wow Twitter is so compelling sometimes. - wish I'd followed it live (especially as I was still awake, judging by the timeline).

So raw.

Simon Hattenstone He always struck me as an honest, decent person and it'll be hard to read him again knowing this.
OJ - well the only surprise would have been if he wasn't there. Great comment though - brings new life to the word 'skewered'.

I don't see how she can continue at the Graun after this but I'm sure their loss will be greater than hers. And if I were an editor and had to choose between Suzanne Moore and that tawdry little shower, it wouldn't take me a heartbeat to decide.

I love that Tanya Gold is publically supporting her too.
I was surprised by Simon and Eva but not so much by the others.

Where are the names?

On Suzanne's Twitter.

simon hattenstone! that saddens me.

eva wiseman - no surprise, ive never learnt anything of interest from her columns

Good for her. Signing a secret letter of condemnation of your colleague is such a pathetic, weaselly thing to do. At least have the decency to talk to her about it. I'm glad they're being exposed.
