😂

I'm afraid I haven't been paying a lot of attention to this, other than being aware that there was something going on and some sort of schism

Is someone able to give me a brief summary of the issues please? Perhaps by pm if someone monitoring the thread has an itchy reporting finger.

So is this an example of the “deeds” of which there is so much talk?

Classy, real classy.

🧐

And posters on this thread think you’re the good guys?

Please explain how my post (informing everyone not on Twitter that the Women O’Scotland have launched their account and that the Women of Wessex support them) amounts to “a personal attack on others”.

Until now, I was not aware that expressing support for a new affiliated group could possibly be construed as a “personal attack”.

If that’s your definition of a “personal attack”, please brace yourself for many more from me, as I have a very long track record of expressing support for the initiatives of other women all over the country and beyond.

To whom are you referring?

The people claiming to be some kind of victim whilst engaging in personal attacks against others.

It is a few documents where stuff that some women say happened is then contradicted by what WRN say happened. The rest of us cannot verify any of it either way.

We also have no idea how many of the women initially removed from WRN as a group then applied to return individually and were accepted back.

Some women have subsequently set up some new independent groups, which is great.

If you want to decide whether the new groups would suit you, then I suggest you sample the posting style of some of the women involved in those groups.

Which people do you mean? Maybe mention them and they cam respond to your query?

Do I really need to point out the ones indulging in personal attacks, name calling and posting ai altered images of people?

You quoted my post. It is entirely reasonable to assume you accused me of “personal attacks”. It was an odd comment to make, whoever your target was.

FYI, I do not have, nor have I used, a sock account. I’m a long-time user of Mumsnet and well aware of the rules.

I have only posted on this thread in my own name, and in good faith, but if you wish to raise a concern with the moderators, be my guest.

Thank you. I have now read through most of thread 1 and think I get the gist.

I cant see AI altered images of someone.

That’s because it has (rightly) been taken down

We also have no idea how many of the women initially removed from WRN as a group then applied to return individually and were accepted back.

I assume that when you say "we" that you are including yourself? So it would be fair to say that you have no idea how many of the women initially removed from WRN as a group then applied to return individually and were accepted back.

A lot more people know "how many of the women initially removed from WRN as a group then applied to return individually and were accepted back" than know:

• how many applied and were turned down
• how many did not apply to rejoin.

My understanding is that:

• only a very few applied and were accepted back
• most "removed members" did not apply to rejoin.

Only the WRN Membership Dept know for sure because, in another fait accompli, WRN Leadership changed the rules and revoked the right of individual Groups to determine who should be readmitted their Group. Now, the "Membership Team" decides and Group Members would not even know if a "removed" member had applied to rejoin.

I wonder how the Membership Team decides whether or not a "removed member" should be readmitted and what criteria they use? Do Coordinators know? Members don't.

@ThimbleThief My understanding is that......

Exactly. All we have is hearsay. There is no way for any of us not directly involved to know the truth of these sort of statements.

paying for followers on X isn’t an achievement

Having "big name" accounts that promote a new account is where the achievement and sharp rise in Followers comes in.

This is extraordinarily hard to follow. I dipped in and out of the previous thread. I need to see what was going on at the end, as I haven’t looked in recently.
