Good to see another successful author speaking out

Honestly, at this stage I wouldn't put it past people to get banned on purpose. Just to prove some point to themselves in the mirror.

It is Bore's decision to make for herself ploppsy. Why the fuck wouldn't I support Bore's decision to report something that she felt was unacceptable. It really is a very weird world you inhabit. I suspect you actually do inhabit a real echo chamber.

We don't control anyone's behaviour here and we don't wish to. And you were absolutely free while you were here to pack away your prejudice and engage with the topic at hand. And provide evidence for your outlandish claims.

You really are a git.

And a gift that keeps on giving.

Datun · 09/02/2022 16:12

Yes, I think plopper is confusing cancel culture with being kicked off the site for failing to remain within the rules.

And I'm still absolutely no clearer about what their point was in the first place.

Difficult to cancel someone when you don't know what they're actually saying.

Helleofabore · 09/02/2022 16:13

No I fully expected to be banned. As stated I expected this to be an echo chamber where ongoing disagreement with feminists would result in them reporting comments and eventually banning - as has now happened.

See readers. This is a clear 'negative generalisation' of the type that will get your posts deleted.

Helleofabore · 09/02/2022 16:15

Their point was to denigrate women. I think that was the only point.

Sadly, they also lacked any intelligent thinking so it really was garden variety.

BoreOfWhabylon · 09/02/2022 16:15

I didn't report individual posts but the overall pattern of posting. Posters can and have been banned in the past for persistent derailing and/or not engaging in good faith, even if individual posts don't actually cross the line.

Just another man who spits his dummy when women say 'no'.

I'm sick of this shit, which has plagued MN in general, and FWR in particular for years and I will continue to report it when I see it.

Doesn't it heighten the eventual result? iykwim
Helleofabore · 09/02/2022 16:20

No apologies necessary Bore.

It was obvious from the get go.

Datun · 09/02/2022 16:20

It strikes me that the theme of ploppers comments might well have been due to nursing a wound over a previous banning.

It would explain all the cancel culture nonsense, echo chambers, and general misogyny without wanting to to engage on any of the specific points and knowing nothing about them.

BoreOfWhabylon · 09/02/2022 16:24

Thanks @Helleofabore.

Helleofabore · 09/02/2022 16:28

But also, thanks everyone for the book recommendations.

And that’s exactly what *ploppy seems to be doing

And on another note missing all the deleted posts i blame on my dad as i went for a coffee with him

I just need to break it to him that i can never leave the house again 🤔

Plus its a complete load of bollocks

Wonderful :)

SunnyDelite · 09/02/2022 17:24

Who else has a mental image of Plopper? I would guess, at least, that he doesn't really have a "Babe".... :)

Masdintle · 09/02/2022 17:24

Blimey that was fun. Just read all of today's posts in one. Must be past the teen's bedtime Grin

Helleofabore · 09/02/2022 17:33

Again I’m no activist anywhere other than your fantasies.

I do think it was quite clear what ploppsy's fantasy life was like. And as I said, I would think their 'girl' was not quite as depicted.

I don't think we have to imagine much.

LilithOfEden · 09/02/2022 17:33

His gripe is clearly that he didn't earn any big boy badges at Scouts. And that's Maya's fault for having a beard.

Oh my god datun is blessing

Then she’ll be yawning

AND THEN WHERE WILL IT END

IT’LL BE ANARCHY 😩😩😩😩😩😩

Goatsaregreat · 09/02/2022 19:30
Grin This thread contains a mini highlight of the male supremacy exhibited by some of the men who plop on here. They spend hours scolding women without realising that they always reveal their male arrogance. They misrepresent and lie, lecture and berate while their seething dislike of women leaches out through their every word. Interesting that they appear unable to stop themselves as they reappear repeatedly despite always ending up appearing to be prats.
