Yes. Loads of his threads were closed.

Another one I remember is Waldouk.
Waldouk pops up on Mumsnet every so often. Different names each time but her posting style stands out a mile off - mostly because it's just a copy and paste of the same old shite about how annoying all her supermarket customers are.

Ohhhh I missed that completely, I had no idea his identity was exposed!

Sounds like she was one of many women my age range who had a “bAd bOy” fetish in the late 90s-mid 2000s and learned the hard way when they ended up alone with a baby and the guy just didn’t care. I had many a friend/acquaintance who suffered the same.

One of them was in an arranged marriage IIRC, so Emma was just the side shag. She couldn’t accept that though.

Does anyone remember The Wizard ? He was a like a male Hyacinth Boquete who looked down his nose on anything that he viewed as ''Below him'

If I’m to be perfectly honest i’d have most likely ended up the same way, round about the same age, as I had the same weakness for exact guys like that back in the day, but I’m a guy so cant get pregnant. I don’t know how many children I would have now if I could …although if I was a woman my mentality would be different as to what I think as a man and it wouldn’t be the same trajectory I don’t think.

Looks like AVF owner Stuart Wright has realised the Politics section is getting far less traffic due to many members having had their accounts restricted and hence now only able to post/view in the General Chat threads. Quite a few of these members have moved on to Urban 75 and I assume this has adversely affected AVF's advertising income. Not that I'll be shedding any tears over it!
Stuart has now resorted to starting a couple of new threads within General Chat (even though the topics are clearly political), hoping they will get more attention. The first was basically an invitation for an anti Musk attack in the motoring threads following the 25% import tariffs announcement on cars, then this one today.

Stuart Wright said : This video is worth half an hour of your time.
(It should be in politics and the economy forum, but more people need to see it)

Further to the above post, it looks like Stuart's initiative hasn't gone down too well, even with one of the mods.

Ruufio says : Why do more people need to see this than all the stuff that has happened under the previous government?
Stick it in the politics forum where it belongs!

Rousetafarian (moderator) says : I’m not overly thrilled that we can expect those members restricted from Politics commenting in GC on a politically based thread tbh.

SDMDAM says : Totally disagree, it's a political video pure and simple and it should be in the politics forum. If anyone else posted this video here, it would be moved and we would be reminded that we have a politics forum. Appreciate you are the founder but shouldn't forum rules apply to everyone equally?

God, is there anything more tedious than forum in-fighting, especially when mods are involved? It’s so childish. I did notice, the few times I looked there, that all the absolute dullards from DS have made their home there.

Good to see people are calling out that hypocritical site owner. It is his site of course, and if he wants to act superior, and patronise/alienate members just because they don’t think the same as him politically, then that’s up to him…but like you I wouldn’t be surprised nor sympathetic if he steadily starts losing revenue over it.

If he don’t care about losing money, then fair play to him. But I remember in recent months he was crying about owning a Tesla, so clearly he ain’t so minted he can afford to just get rid of it and join tHe rEvOLuTiOn

Yeah, cant have it both ways - has to hide politics because the rampant antisemitism was attracting outside attention and pressure from advertisers whilst also wanting to make certain topics more visible.

Looks like Stuart has now lost the plot and has removed a few of the replies to the thread that he started (including the three I posted above) and another brief discussion after someone talked about trying to put him on ignore! He has now decided to lock his own thread. The guy comes across as a total narcissist and clearly can't cope with any criticism.


Stuart Wright said : I’ve deleted the posts which complain about this thread being in GC as they are off topic. Which is most of them, sadly.
And I deleted one reply which contained some links potentially worth exploring but then went and insulted another member.

Despite the title, this shouldn’t be a topic setting one party against another.
I don’t think Gary is anti-labour. I think he has used that video title (which I copied) to get more views. Views are needed if he’s going to get his message out.
I think having a title directly attacking labour might have not been the best strategy.
And using his strategy, I think whichever party had been in power right now, unless they were addressing the wealth inequality issue, their name would be in the title.

I don’t think his message is anti-labour. His message is aimed at labour because they are in power. Obviously.
(He said it was the Tories under Thatcher who cut taxes on the rich in the 80’s which started the decline in the first place.)

And I didn’t post his video to start a party based argument. I didn’t post the thread to criticise labour or any party in particular. Or start an off topic argument.
I posted this here because I think it’s an important message which rings true for me and which, if true, requires a change of policy for whichever party is in power. None of them except the greens supported taxing the rich in the last election.

The part of Gary’s message which most bothers me is that so many people, despite working hard and having a fantastic work ethic, are poor and could never afford to buy a house. I hope that’s a situation which everyone would want to change.

I think it’s best if the thread is locked so that some people who want to make this a party bashing thread don’t get themselves in to trouble and the moderators don’t have to deal with their shit.

In other words:

“I’m so annoyed my thread/lecture didn’t go the way I wanted it to, my feelings are hurt so I’ve thrown my toys outta the pram and I’ve locked the thread cos you lot won’t agree with me!

Does anyone remember the thread on DS by the Russian who was planning a trip to Croydon, I think?

I haven't been on there for a while since I got "you were lying" allegations thrown at me and now I'm scared to even open the site.

The personal-life section is a bunch of bullshit. Not that people lie. It's that people are very quick to accuse OTHERS of bullshitting for not divulging every single issue that could ever have arisen and for not giving 26/9 updates. What happened to assuming good faith?
 
I notice the recent news of Russell Brand being charged with sexual assault/rape was greeted with delight on both AVF and Urban75. There was absolutely no mention of innocent until proven guilty on either platform. Contrast this with the reaction to today's arrest of Labour MP, Dan Norris over rape and child sex offences. All of a sudden someone on AVF is saying (rightly) that Norris is not guilty unless/until he is convicted! That sentiment seemed to be lacking on the Russell Brand threads. I genuinely hope that none of these social media bigots ever get called up for jury service.

I understand what you are saying, but given how woefully low the numbers of cases of rape and sexual assault actually going to trial are I am always delighted when they do and I make no apology for that. And, come on, who doesn’t believe that Russell Brand isn’t a massive wrong un?
