Stewart Lee (a comedian apparently) calling MN a "hate site"

[CheeseSandwichRiskAssessment]

Is there a backstory here or is he spouting random nonsense? Would MNHQ be interested in his defaming their site, also some ageism and condescension.

Relevant passage towards the end (after a hot take on Gideon Falter 🙄) :

"It was with some relief I finally had my now retired Basic Lee show filmed in Salford last week by Sky. The definitive record of this much-discussed, but comparatively rarely seen, show should diffuse the ongoing online storm in a teacup reflecting its imagined content, which has already resulted in the location of my family home being posted on the guest book of the schools advice, recipes and hate site Mumsnet by a furious old lady."

I really like the phrase "Furious old lady". I'm thinking of having it on a t-shirt.

Massive disappointment that he came out as a misogynist. It will soon be widely accepted that he was in the ranks of women-hating enemies of free speech.

Me too I'm not officially old yet but I can identify as old if I want, right?

I used to love him. Went right off him when he started to pretend that he didn't know that men like this are not women, even when they say they are.

Surprised that he'd write something like that though, he's not completely stupid and it is a completely stupid thing to say.

Mumsnet has over a million users and I'm pretty sure the number of them who are remotely interested in knowing where Stewart Lee lives is zero.

Exactly.

Someone was probably pointing out a contradiction a bit of hypocrisy in something he said, and where he lives.

I'm amazed that he's daft enough to openly encourage the Streisand effect tho.

Ha yes. Tbf I don’t know who he is to start with

He’s got a touch of the aggressive misogynistic male about him though

I feel quite smug 😀: I never liked Lee and his schtick, never saw what people saw in him. He never was half as smart as he thought he was. Another one who likes punching down.

It wasn’t me.

I don’t agree with those tactics.

Even for mouthy ill-informed gobshites.

His GP suspects he has autism if that's relevant

It wasn't me either. I might be furious and old but I'm no lady.

Autism is not an excuse for being a cunt.

He doesn't have the necessary warmth or depth to be a cunt.

When did all this doxxing happen?

I've never seen any harrassment being orchestrated, why wasnt it reported?

God, he's a self-obsessed, boring little twat.

I would hope any doxxing on here was reported and deleted immediately.

Pointing out someone who speaks shite is speaking shite is not harassment either.

He's being hyperbolic because he thinks he's both funny and clever.

He's the stand-up Billy Bragg, and listed Mumsnet in a thing about hateful stuff a couple of years ago - a sort of New Years Dis-Honours List as I remember. He can boil his sanctimonious misogynist head.

Don't fall for this. He's just trying to promote his new series by trying to make it sound controversial.

I don't believe for a second his address was on here. If it was Mumsnet would have taken it down immediately. Given his wording I agree with others that he is being very careful not to say address.

I have just been listening to the chapter in Hags in Mumsnet. She talks a lot of sense about why lefty dude bros like Lee just cannot stomach women gathering and having opinions that differ from his own and the left wing mindless hegemony. It is available on Spotify for anyone who subscribes. Really recommend

Can you link to that please?

I agree it's a strange form of doxxing.

Lee himself regularly talks about the specific part of London he lives in as part of his routines.

It's on his Wikipedia that he lives in Stoke Newington

Ignore him, he's a bore.

Just like to flower up regular sentences to try and make himself look intelligent. I went to see him live 10 years ago and it was the most tedious 3 hours of my life so far.
