The thing I find interesting is that the grifter related threads here always seem to attract folk who wouldn't tolerate things like racism or sexism, whereas other, more well-known forums of discussion are or can be very, very different. All of which are essentially places to discuss people. You very rarely see the likes of Jack booting off about Mumsnet as for some reason it just doesn't have the same reputation, despite it being horrific at the best of times (I've seen some threads where vulnerable women have asked for help and have been ripped to shreds). Sure, there are certainly some unsavoury threads here, which adds to the 'evil Tattle' narrative, but the likes of the Sazzle, Bex, Jack threads etc aren't quite the same. I suspect this is what partly puts the wind up them.
