Will that now be a subtle signal to my fellow GC sisters? I do hope so, I can't wait to see lots of dinosaurs being sported by women out and about - anyone complaining about a woman with a dinosaur is simply going to look batshit crazy Grin. (Although just to be clear I do talk about this a lot in rl but not so much at work but generally think that the more women who don't yet speak out about this can see how many others are GC the better and I suspect that the "GC Dinosaur" may just be our Bat Signal")

So it’s not misogynistic to wear rainbows or dinosaurs is that correct?
I'm confused...

Sorry for filling the page with links. None of these are my normal style but I shall wear some anyway and nod conspiracy like to co-collaborators and random strangers who like dinos.

I'm confused...

OP said she associates rainbows with misogyny. Then I said it’s ironic and PPs said that’s the whole point.

I thought it was considered unwise to indulge in speculation on active court cases, especially those taking place north of the border?

Waitwhat23 · 10/10/2021 14:56

@alekto correct. A pp has said 'we know'. We don't know anything. The only details published in the media are deliberately vague. And as @RedDogsBeg has pointed out, a court case is designed to decide innocence or guilt.

'We know' and 'everything else she has done' are unsubstantiated allegations.

RedDogsBeg · 10/10/2021 15:02

'We know' and 'everything else she has done' are unsubstantiated allegations.

Indeed, the case is sub judice, not that I expect that poster to understand such a concept, and their posts are also libellous again I don't expect them to understand that either although they should educate themselves lest they find themselves in a world of trouble in future.

Sense would tell you toocold54 not to assert something is absolutely known and therefore true when there is a pending court case to establish the facts and truth which will be based on evidence not on what a random member of the public declares as known based on 54th hand stories on social media.

So people don't think I've been deleted for something awful, I just wanted to point out that I quoted a deleted post so was deleted myself. The gist of my post was that MNHQ will delete posts which talk about active court cases, particularly if they make unsubstantiated allegations.

As I said before my post got deleted (not sure why) I completely agree which is why I had an issue with someone posting that this particular person had only done one thing wrong and they got arrested for that one thing. As that’s speculation and completely false information.

Cwenthryth · 10/10/2021 16:26

Your post was deleted @toocold54 because you persisted in making specific allegations about an active case, and you still are, albeit more obliquely. Also re-read the thread searching for the word “only” in relation to this matter - no one has actually posted what you are arguing against and racking up strikes for anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

RedDogsBeg · 10/10/2021 16:35

Your posts are being deleted toocold54 because you are asserting things about a live court case which is sub judice. You are asserting as fact something you cannot know to be a fact and something which is prejudicial to the case, seriously educate yourself on the basics of the justice system. Plus your statements could very well be deemed to be libellous as you do not know what you so assuredly claim to.

Some facts surrounding the case are in the public domain and have been referenced in the media those can be mentioned.

Again, you don't know this:

that this particular person had only done one thing wrong and they got arrested for that one thing. As that’s speculation and completely false information.

My advice to you is to stop talking about this case or mentioning it as you clearly don't understand what sub judice means and nor can you seem to grasp that most basic of concepts which is innocent until proven guilty.

toocold54 · 10/10/2021 16:47

It wasn’t me that brought up the case!
It was someone else and others were agreeing. Which is why I had an issue with them spreading false information about an active case - it’s funny how no one had an issue with others bringing the case up but as soon as someone said other relevant things about it which didn’t fit your narrative then posts started to get deleted and posters have an issue with the content.

The reasons I am talking about the case obliquely is to explain myself without doing anything ‘wrong’. You are also speaking about it.

These threads are funny. Surely these are meant to be forums that you can discuss and hold your own opinions. It seems some are you either hold the same opinion as everyone else or you don’t get a voice. I haven’t done anything that other posters haven’t.

Can we go back to dinosaurs?

They were fun. This isn't fun. And 'the pig enjoys it'.

Waitwhat23 · 10/10/2021 17:22

Ooh, that reminds me. Saw this earlier and thought of @PurgatoryOfPotholes, after the whole dinosaur/frog dna debate yesterday! Please note, I am not calling Purgatory a good girl, because that would be weird!
