I didn’t mean it’s surprising that it is trolled, as all of Mumsnet is unfortunately. I just felt surprise at the fact it’s trolled often. It was my initial thought that’s all. Not doubt or shock or whatever, just mild surprise that it’s more trolled, a fleeting thought and one I chose to share as I was having a discussion with Datun and it did help me understand in the context of the other thread. It’s just how I felt as I read it, and never gave it another thought.
I don’t know if the rest of your comment was directed to me, or was a comment in general, but as I understood it Mumsnet only delete threads that are extremely toxic or upsetting? To more than one person, meaning a lot of reports from a lot of people? So they had their reasons and I trust their judgement. If people report, other than trolls obviously, then they report for a reason and Mumsnet weigh up the reports and in few cases delete. This was my understanding. They don’t delete willy nilly as I am aware. So it’s gone now, you can start a new discussion if you so wish. You’re allowed to do that too. I think it is a fair system and run quite well. From what I have seen at least. In my opinion.
As for the rest I can’t comment as I was accused of derailing and I don’t feel like getting into another defending myself thread. I’d like things to be friendly and informative. Some posters suggested I come on the board and have a look around, some suggested I post a thread, all very nice and welcoming. I wanted the information lost in the deletion that Datun kindly linked for me. It was given and appreciated, as was some extra info from other posters. Which I thank you all for. If you have information you want to share feel free to do so, or not, as you wish. But I’d like to just be able to inform myself in this thread since I clearly have a one sided over emotional set of opinions (my own words!) and i would like to change that.
I hope the links prove informative - Thank you, I hope so too!

Yes it was that one, with the rape trigger etc. It was hard to write the whole thing as it really was horrible and traumatic, but I wanted to explain why I had been so triggered and angry, as it was a horrific experience, so that people can understand that the photo was a huge trigger for me, and as one poster had said, my reaction was a perfect illustration of just why it is such an inappropriate photo, and that I understand I came in angry and was sorry for it. I wanted people to know why, and soon as I finished the whole process of writing it out the thread went. I have it saved so I need not type that out again so there’s that!
