Who are Posie's new friends?

[AreWeTheBaddies]

Posie seems to be happy with her new pals

Yes, I agree.

Posie is so brave putting herself out there and doesn't deserve all the crap she is getting from women supposedly on the same side.

Message deleted! What did it say?

I don’t care who Posie’s friends are.
I’m just grateful she’s getting her message to as wide an audience as possible.
And I think she’s incredibly brave to do this in a country where crazed misogynists can have guns.

Ffs the censorship here is so ridiculous.

I said that people who can't support a woman who is literally putting her life at risk for women's and children's rights need to shut up and go away as they have nothing to contribute to the conversation.

Aawww! beastly, you used some magic words that someone took exception to.

It’s disgusting that she needs security in the first place

My magic powers must be strong today. Still simmering over from halloween.

No, you told other posters to fuck off. Which isn't allowed.

Really? It seems to be allowed on plenty of other threads. Would I have been allowed to say ODFOD?

Also, it wasn't other posters I was telling to fuck off. It was everyone who can't show support for a woman who is literally risking her life to defend women's and children's rights.

It's not allowed, and that goes for ODFOD. If it's standing on other threads it probably means it hasn't been reported. MN relies on user reports.

It's not a conspiracy to censor you. The talk guidelines are pretty clear.

I never said it was a conspiracy. It's still censorship though.

Enforcing your own talk guidelines on your privately owned website is not censorship.

Has the word friend been re-defined?

Is everyone someone employs, or has a photo taken with now a friend?

So all the people who grab selfies with say Tom Cruise or Prince William or the Princess of Wales are now their friends?

Is the plumber you use, the Amazon delivery person, the garage mechanic, etc., now a friend and someone whose political leanings, social media history, friends and family must be interrogated prior to any interaction?

What a load of risible fucking nonsense.

‘Guidelines’ shouldn’t need ‘enforcing’

If a guide can be enforced it’s ceases to be a guideline and instead becomes a rule.

They shouldn't need enforcing I agree. People should refrain from telling others to fuck off.

oh fuck no!

We aren’t children!

Mumsnet is an extremely sweary place, it’s a big part of it’s charm, imo.

I totally agree, but there's being sweary generally and then there's direct attacks (like telling others to fuck off).

‘ODFOD’ is a Mumsnettism that you’ll see all over the boards (it’s way more common on AIBU than it is on FWR).
I’m rather fond of it, personally!

‘ODFOD’, ‘LTB’ ‘naice’ and ‘darked on’ are unique MN lexicon - the internet has become shockingly homogeneous due to AI moderation and Silicon Valley groupthink.

I wouldn’t be in favour of any rules (or guidelines 😉) that stripped away MN’s idiosyncrasies on the basis of politeness.

I’m sure we can manage a bit of mutual fuckoffery between us, for the sake of holding the line against further erosions to freedom of expression?

It was hardly a "direct attack". Anyway, whatever, I got the gist of it across despite you reporting me.

They'd better not come for FOTTFSOFAFOSM* either!

*I hope I got that right.

YANBU.

The phrase beta men is not a feminist phrase.

Why not? Are you keeping one in your basement?

It's interesting I'd honestly prefer to be able to carry a gun to defend myself than have to depend on the police in the US and UK protecting women, which they f*cking don't do. If the activists and rapists know women are carrying you'd better believe they would swiftly piss off.
