It is with great regret that we have to ask members to refrain from any further discussion of Gina Ford, her methods or her books on the site. To find out why click here. We'd be very grateful if members could report any mentions of Gina Ford using the "contact Mumsnet" facility (the little red exclamation mark to the right of each posting). Many thanks. MNHQ. "

Never seen it before.

Have the daily mail got hold of this yet? It won't do her reputation any good.

am loving the influx from Bounty. it feels like a convention. like when my mum's WI invites the WI from the next village to come along. how exciting...

Message from DH:

Please save MN, otherwise he might have to talk to me instead! LOL!

MrsRichardHammond · 07/08/2006 13:37

they do with a lot of words

rim
arse
tit
knob

and several others. Just use CTL + ALT + the vowel in the word and you can write the whole offensive word...even the C word! lol

flutterbee · 07/08/2006 13:36

welshmum · 07/08/2006 13:29

I'm astounded, how ridiculous, how absolutely bloody ridiculous.
Sorry for your troubles mumsnet towers

Thinking practically about this, is there anyway we could agree a sort of standard 'press release'(which only highlights the absurdity of the issue, not makes any derogatory remarks of course) and then keep a running tally of all the places it has gone. As a community of MNers we must have a wealth of media and marketing contacts out there, and well, we all know the power of the web and viral marketing!

mummyhill · 07/08/2006 13:28

Must confess to floating this on other parenting sites.

KellyThe4x4Lover · 07/08/2006 13:28

Well, I have no words, but it's certainly got people talking! (Another fellow Bountyite!)

Earlybird · 07/08/2006 13:26

I've got a mental picture of her lawyers glued to computers reading all of our comments, listening to LBC, and then seeing the discussion spread to other parenting sites. Wonder if they feel satisfied at what they've done to protect their client, or horrified at the public/media reaction which so far doesn't seem positive. My guess is that they/she see this as a "landmark" or precedent setting case.

I would be careful though, certain unsavoury things could appear on the www under freedom of speech, it can have its downsides too.

anthonykiedisbitontheside · 07/08/2006 13:25

Oh bugger

wannaBe1974 · 07/08/2006 13:25

just been reading the bounty thread and haven't seen any positive posts on there

MrsRichardHammond · 07/08/2006 13:24

The Wright Stuff isnt back on til september.

anthonykiedisbitontheside · 07/08/2006 13:23

I've emailed the Wright Stuff.

Gobbledigook · 07/08/2006 13:23

I was called 'getkamalout' last year when BB was on - I slated him something rotten on those thread! (although I backtracked as I grew to like him - perhaps that's why he didn't try to sue my arse off?)

Mascaraohara · 07/08/2006 13:19

right, I'm going to the gym hope the thread is still here when I get back.

MrsRichardHammond · 07/08/2006 13:18

Just think how many mums use just here and bounty. You've already got most of us talking about it on bounty and we're all members of several sites too, butterfly effect n all.

wannaBe1974 · 07/08/2006 13:17

personally I think it could make it into the papers. I've already emailed the bbc, all progs on five live, breakfast, drive, phone-in. I would say that certain people must not have very bright pr people - any idiot must realize that this kind of action is going to cause a huge wave of negative publicity.
