Having read through a lot of the posts about the differences in the types of abuse on blue vs red forums, I would like to give my take on it.
On blue there have been members who have been abusive or excessively dismissive towards those supporting guilt, over the time frame of the forum. However, the worst offenders where kind of recognised by both sides of case. There was an understanding that excesses took place - but the 'sensible' posters on both sides of the case recognised it as such. Moderators didn't always intervene as much as those on the receiving end would like. And this has led to accusations of bias. But - most people supporting guilt on here have been able to give as good as they got.
When I look at the Red forum- it's on another level. It's as if there was small hardcore of posters who seemed to revel in mocking. I feel it had more viciousness to it in comparison to over here. Regardless who was a mod over there, that small hardcore where the ones running the show. Because of this, I sense there was less willingness among other posters over there to recognise what was happening was wrong.
When? No one has posted regularly on the Red forum/Bamber board for years. Oh you mean about a decade ago?
I will remind you of some of the comments made here about the victims of WHF:
NB fathered the twins - MT - removed
SC was promiscious - Lookout - remained
Not a shred of evidence for either.
I ended up on that forum because I was banned here due to coining a phrase from Red which was used to describe a bunch of regular female members here: 'knitting circle'
I found it amusing and still do. It might have even included me. That is banter by most people's standards not abuse.
Anyway when I found myself on Red, posting as a 'supporter', I didn't experience any issues you have described above.
You are sounding like a massive girls blouse.
