AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

Honestly, this man is obsessed. He has now created a program to scrape and grade Mumsnet threads from this board.

What is this?

Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads.

I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅

Fucksake, mate.

Whatever made project keeps him busy leaves less time for him to be out there doing even worse shit, I suppose.

Scout2016 · 28/04/2026 22:43

Could this analysis give us a percentage of how many OPs are considered to be being unreasonable?

My hunch is it would be very low but that there are so many AIBU threads because many women, not having the confidence of even the most mediocre of men, doubt themselves even when it is overwhelming clear they are right.

I would also quite like to see a top ten (or 20!) of diagrams - although the criteria of what makes for "best" is possibly too highly subjective.

(Edited because I realised original wording could be misinterpreted.)

The vibe I'm getting from the posts by Aida posted upthread is a shitter version of Dr Evil from Austin Powers, with an overarching theme of megalomaniacal superiority delusion.

I'm looking forward to his analysis of the Bluestocking threads. I wonder what his computer model will make of the gerbils?

I'm not sure, but didn't the Bluestocking Gerbils come into existence in the context of a PhD student from Aston University scraping MN for their thesis?

I recall that there were efforts to confuse the process, posts in different languages, and then somebody referred to gender activists as 'Foucault-addled grievance gerbils', which became a t-shirt, and then somehow the gerbils set up a factory to make the t-shirts themselves, and the rest is history, Bluestocking style.
So the gerbils have a noble backstory, they're not just pretty faces - but they are that tooSmile
I'd advise AidaP not to mess with the gerbils, they saw off the last scraper...

He really is a nasty little man, isn't he. Scrape that.

Yep. The gerbils do exist thanks to Eden and her scrape of mumsnet.

They are currently practicing a new routine. Here they are displaying the name of their new cheer routine.

Can he at least be banned as a user?

murasaki · 28/04/2026 23:06

You'd think his IP address could be banned.

I did a thread in Site Stuff, to alert Mumsnet.

Excellent work from the gerbils!

I'm worried that I'm a narcissist – I can't wait to see his assessment of how evil I am.

DrBlackbird · 28/04/2026 23:54

Helleofabore · 28/04/2026 21:57

No reputable academic would touch the data if he hasn’t worked out how to remove copy and paste quoting, surely? Who would support such a flawed paper?

Maybe AidaP and Eden are one and the same? Anyhow, Aston might like the data.

MarieDeGournay · 29/04/2026 00:13

Wait - is he scraping and grading all of the threads on MN?
There are rather a lot of them, and they are on very diverse topics - I reckon it'll take up a lot of his time, which is probably a good thing, the devil find work etc etc..

ElenOfTheWays · 29/04/2026 00:55

So... I'm a wee bit perplexed

What are the threads being graded for?
Terfery? Transphobia? Hate speech?
Sex realism (a la OnePostWonder)
refusal to validate? ...

And then... when the grades are done, then what? What's he going to do with them? What's the point of this?
I mean just when you thought they couldn't get any more batshit...

What a tremendous waste of time.

Yes but he’s had a lot of er…… adult material. I’d have thought that would have taken all available hard drive space. Maybe he’s had to splash out on a new one just for us 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Please tell me you're joking about there being a wife. Please.

No. There is a wife. But they are as delulu as he is. Or suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Not sure yet

If his understanding of computer science is as good as his understanding of biology, he's probably trying to upload the data to his toaster and use the level how toasted the bread is too grade each thread.

To be fair, I had a hand-drawn table rating the ponies at my local riding stables on various criteria. When I was 11.

I think that he's so impressed by us, he's registered as an examination board and is going to award us GCSEs, A Levels etc in Feminism and Terfery. It's all coursework, no exam and our posts here are what will be assessed. I am looking forward to finding out what I get and if it's better than what I've already got.

No more batshit than his idea that he's a woman.

I think that's a bit unfair on toasters. I'm sure mine is cleverer than this prick.
