AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

684 replies

BambooLampshade · 28/04/2026 21:15

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 😅

Not in the least.

I don't know this AidaP and no idea how they identify. Which you know, obviously.

Do you have any opinions on the actual topic being discussed, perhaps in relation to the several points I've made, or are you content to just continue trying to derail the topic in attacking me?

If so, as I've already said, please do feel free to engage in your attacks over DMs; I welcome your frank views.

Thank you.

Edited

If I've attacked you, please report my posts to MN.

Why would anyone DM you?
We can chat on here.
I've got nothing private to say to you.

And yet you continue...

Let's see if we can get you back on topic. What are your thoughts about what has been discussed with regards to AidaP's scraping and grading?
Why do you think AidaP may be doing this?
Do you think there's anything in law that can be done?

I'd be interested in anything relevant you have to say.

HazelLemur · 29/04/2026 09:55

Those are simply MN's Ts and Cs.

I agree, AidaP shouldn't be doing it, but there's no actual law I'm aware of that makes scraping publicly available (not behind a login) information from a public website illegal.

MN, or any website for that matter, can write what they like in their policies; it doesn't mean it has any weight in law.

If Aida has signed up for the website he’s signed up to the terms and conditions and legal action can be taken against him.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 29/04/2026 10:18

Well, keep up @HazelLemur
A quick Google would tell you that AidaP is a man.

Good point.

I guess then it would be a question of linking the activity (the scraping) back to the individual who signed up for the account.

IP address and/or email address would be the most obvious way, I suppose, but those two things are childishly simple to obfuscate/change.
That said, I'm getting the impression AidaP isn't exactly a master-criminal, so probably is using the same properly identifying details for this scraping as they did for the account.

I'm still bemused as to what the point of this is; other than to wave the results around Reddit in some show of self-congratulatory triumph?

I once graded all the toilets on a trip round Europe. Am currently grading all the full English breakfasts within a 20 mile radius of home.

Now I think about it, my bloke has a spreadsheet of pub cats in London. If you're ever in Holborn, The Seven Stars has a cat who sometimes rocks an Elizabethan ruff type collar.

Datun · 29/04/2026 10:23

Well it goes a long way to explaining why this fucking nonsense has lasted so long.

There are certain sub set of men who are absolutely infuriated to the point of madness when women say no.

So much so they want to grade us on our levels of refusal.

What's hilarious is he's so incensed by women saying no, he's prepared to devote all his time to keep reading about it.

Creepy really

I feel a visit to the Seven Stars in Holborn coming on...

Datun · 29/04/2026 10:23

Oh well, at least he won't be allowed to post on here anymore.

And plenty of women recognise his posting style to report him as a PBP

Why is he doing it?

Because MNHQ banned him the other week and his fragile male ego has hurty feelings.

So as he can no longer come directly on here under his name to call the women (who don't wish to agree with him that he's a woman) bigots, terfs and transphobic, he's got his knickers in a twist and is directing his seething hatred of us into compiling his own files of the many ways different posters have pissed him off.

I presume.

Totally. It's like some weird, fetishistic obsession.
Perhaps AidaP had an especially stern nanny growing up and yearns, as an outwardly appearing adult, for those halcyon days when nanny said "NO"...

It's a lovely pub. Apparently the cat ruff isn't Elizabethan, it's a legal garb thing, the pub being near the Inns of Court. On weekdays it'll be full of barristers who will know all about the Supreme Court ruling that confirmed transwomen are men.

StormyPotatoes · 29/04/2026 10:28

I wonder where Aida himself will come out on his own grading league table. He’s certainly guilty of many misogynistic comments and definitely one of the most ‘hateful’ things I’ve seen on MN (though granted that’s him linking to his comment on another site, but happily taking full ownership).

My guess would be that AidaP sets the grading himself, so he'll come out - if he appears at all - in the best position possible.

All without realising that a rigged game is rarely engaging.

Well as ‘your community’ speaks with ‘one voice’, presumably you know what he’s up to - or will soon. All hail the community.

Thank you; I shall be sure to check it out.

Especially on weekdays where, as you've suggested, the venue will be full of barristers. I am quite sure that the company of elevated minds and critical thinking skills will be a breath of fresh air to the topic of trans identity.

And, if not, there's always the cat to fuss 😊

I am a transwoman and a woman, not a man.

None of which changes the statement I made on this thread. You are attempting to derail with an ad hominem attack because, well, that's all you and your sort have, really.

Try to stay on topic, hmmm? There's a pet.

argumentum ad hominem

AidaP is trans, then?

It might come as a surprise, poppet, but I don't actually know every other trans person personally, so really have no idea "what he's up to".

The trans community do indeed try to speak with one voice, as does your community, and every community on earth since time began. So much, so obvious.

As to what AidaP is up to, I haven't the foggiest and - given the impression I'm rapidly getting on this thread - don't especially want to know!

BusyAzureTraybake · 29/04/2026 10:39

I have hidden more threads this week then I ever have in the past. The meltdown in the sacred caste is manifesting itself in some very strange ways at the mo.
Goodbye👋

Actually, feminists who support female single sex provisions excluding male people don’t try to speak with ‘one voice’. We are not a hive mind.

There are a whole multitude of different opinions about the issues because they are so wide ranging. It would be totalitarian to demand that we all believe the same and only voice the same opinion.

And the power of our voices is that there are so many of us and as we each contribute from different aspects it builds greater knowledge and evidence.

ThatBlackCat · 29/04/2026 10:52

'poppet', 'pet' - even the sneering, patronising attempts at putdowns are so standard male behaviour. A male will always male. They can never pull of being a woman. Ever. They're not even capable of it.

"Actually, feminists who support female single sex provisions excluding male people don’t try to speak with ‘one voice’. We are not a hive mind."

The merest glance through MN threads where there is the scent of a pro-trans or non GC-aligned target suggest that that statement is wholly and utterly incorrect. Sorry.

Most of the attacks on me in this thread, in response to posts which were very much on topic and not in anyway inflammatory and despite my repeated attempts to point that out and bring things back on topic, are an excellent example of this.

I don;t know you personally, and wouldn't presume to, but the MN is far, far from the liberal, free-thinking feminist Nirvana you think it is.

I haven't seen any attacks on you on this thread @HazelLemur

If you've received personal attacks, you must report them relevant posts to MNHQ.

If you're simply perceiving things which aren't there, OTOH, that's a bit worrying for you.
