I can understand that for some like shinyredbicycle it seems a bit like nonsensical gossip, but as the thread about the WPUK workshop of FiLia revealed, many of us innocently took part or supported various groups meetings etc.. But only found out later that they were linked, if not the same group. And that they were the ones who started a personal public denounciation of JKJ.
This made some of us ask questions.
But what this thread also shows (which happened on a thread I started but gave up on) is that it just needs one individual to keep posting not quite correct statements and then when challenged slightly amend, which leads to further challenges.
I did think that FWR had a policy of not feeding the trolls, but on the other hand, given the huge reach of mumsnet would you sit by while someone get posting half truths and innuendo about something you cared deeply about, knowing that it would remain in the virtual world and in no time at all would be repeated as the truth.
That is why there are references to a facebook group, which is often the source of this "stories".
This might not every meet the public signifigance of 6 January that led to a whole series (and a second one starting) called the Coming Storm, but that showed how "facts" repeated and shared over and over again on the internet can become some people's truths.
