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.

Is it maybe time to start chatting to the papers? I don't know how these things work but I am sure they would be interested.

Tortington · 07/08/2006 00:45

so sorry you have been put through this mumsnetHQ. what would i do with out mumsnet.

JanH · 07/08/2006 00:23

I know that this series of unfortunate events has been reported to the press but have never seen any coverage - has anyone?

Or have they been warned off?

Chandra · 07/08/2006 00:21

Thanks for that Justine, may we send a thank you postcard then?

sorry, that's the last post, honest! [chandra pops off line]

Chandra · 07/08/2006 00:19

I'm not going to say anymore Collision, although it hurts that she has robbed us of expressing our own opinion (mine was good BTW), but what is worse is that we are now becoming our own police, that's really shameful. I understand your good intentions, but I think its a lost battle.

[period]

Thanks everyone for the messages of support (on and offline). We do appreciate your comments and we promise to reply to all as soon as we can. You should be aware that DSC's stance is that they believe site closure to be a disproportionate response to the complaints against Mumsnet, so no need to innundate them - they are doing their best for us.
Thanks again
MNHQ

figured ??

finger

SaintGeorge · 07/08/2006 00:16

True, but at least another thread would be in the morning. Save someone at HQ from staying up all night with figured poised over the delete button.

TambaIsBadBadBad · 07/08/2006 00:14

I dont know if there would be much point in deleting this thread really, cause as people see the notice more threads will spring up. At least this way MN only has to watch over the one thread? (In theory anyhow)

Have read the notice and relevent info and will abidee by the new rule. Sorry its come to this Justine and co

collision · 07/08/2006 00:14

Just reported a couple of things SGeorge and said the same.

This thread has upset a lot of people but unless they shut up then MN will be in trouble.

Chandra · 07/08/2006 00:14

TBH I doubt very much it would help, tomorrow morning there would be lots of threads about this.

JanH · 07/08/2006 00:14

Oh me too, scooobydoo (though referring to it is probably deletable )

SherlockLGJ · 07/08/2006 00:14

STG

Because others will find that sad, sad, link at the bottom in the morning, and it will only garner another thread.

SaintGeorge · 07/08/2006 00:11

So sad it has come to this.

Justine, why don't you delete this whole thread now, save you having to do individual posts all night long?

Scoobydooooo · 07/08/2006 00:11

Well i am stunned

What made me really laugh was morningpapers post lol love it says it how it is !

fattiemumma · 07/08/2006 00:11

its not sad its bloody outragouse!
i am absolutly disgusted at this misinterpretation of the law.

what is the point of freedom of speech if you arent actually allowed to express an opinion?

collision · 07/08/2006 00:10

Chandra.

Enough.

SherlockLGJ · 07/08/2006 00:10

I know, we have all been there, new, and in posession of a MOTOR MOUTH, but it has never ever been this serious.

I was on a self imposed break, Thank God I was not strong enough to break and not lurk.

Chandra · 07/08/2006 00:10

I doubt I coould find enough book owners to do a respectable bonfire. Mine is going with the rubish truck on Tuesday.

I'm so angry that I doubt I could sleep... Anyways, my suggestion is:

_ Inundate DSC (who hosts mumsnet) with letters of support for this site.

-The moment she become more abusive towards Mumsnet we all send a letter to all newspapers we read making them aware of "She Who Must Not Be Named Vs. Freedom of speech"

Heathcliffscathy · 07/08/2006 00:08

it is so unbelievably sad that it has come to this

Heathcliffscathy · 07/08/2006 00:07

oh my god!!!!!!!!

Quootiepie · 07/08/2006 00:07

sorry...

collision · 07/08/2006 00:07

Some people dont know when to be quiet!
