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.

Was going to suggest we are respond to the articles by writing letters...www you beat me to it.......

Trixiebelle · 08/08/2006 08:44

Which papers (apart from The Gulf Times!) do I need to rush out and buy this morning

Tigermoth, surely we all ought to post to comment on the online articles? Surely it wouldn't get mn into trouble?

meowmix · 08/08/2006 08:42

Blimey ladies - news of this is even in the Gulf Times (daily paper in Qatar). I almost choked on my cornflakes.

saltire · 08/08/2006 08:42

Tigermoth, you could always write a letter to the paper commenting on their news articles. Many people do this, especially with all the turmoil going on in the world, and if you feel strongly enough about ANY article or news story they have printed then you can write to them and comment on it!

FANTASTIC!! Well done everyone!! This is great!

furball

got up early too - so pleased to see mumsnet has 'come out' at long last. And think Justine's quotes give a very fair view of things. No outright attack on .....

Hope the site won't crash due to all the extra traffic today.

And so glad I am not at work today.

Do you think, as mumsnetters, if we post online comments on the articles in the newspapers that these will get mumsnet into more trouble? If I give my email address, this will be the same address I have for mumsnet.

I told Dh about all this when it all started, trying to explain how much of a big deal it was.

He really didn't understand.

I told him again yesterday, showing the message from MNHQ

He still didn't really get it.

When he just go up I told him how many papers have run the story, big proper newspapers too!!

"God!....Really?.....are you going to buy them??

He finally gets it!!

Trixiebelle · 08/08/2006 08:36

bagpuss30 · 08/08/2006 08:32

just got to work, but heard 'What the Papers Say' on R4 Today in the car where they mentioned the article from the Telegraph that describes her as 'stamping her foot'.

I now apologise for any distress I may have caused other drivers on the A34 as I whooped and hooted hysterically and hence wrong-laned myself at the Botley roundabout

LadyTophamHatt · 08/08/2006 08:23

So.... has evryone paid the for the CAT facility? I was just thinking that mumsnet will surely need our support. It's only a fiver. Would it be too much to ask everyone to as least pay their CAT membership???

leece · 08/08/2006 08:18

Its truely a great day for the little people. Well done to all mums netters who didnt take this lying down.

Freedom of speech

Much love

Leece (BMC)

earlgrey · 08/08/2006 08:17

I wonder where the Daily Telegraph stands on this - for even mentioning the debate.

flack · 08/08/2006 08:15

Mumsnet home page (text of the gray box disclaimor) is No. 5 on the organic links on Google, now. I think that could have nearly as much effect as all the news articles. Heeheeheee.

Blackduck · 08/08/2006 08:15

Metro had a tiny article too...

trice · 08/08/2006 08:12

I have picked the book out of the bin just so I could enjoy throwing it in again. It wouldn't fit through the shredder.

Good work everybody. keep up the fight.

SherlockLGJ · 08/08/2006 08:11

WWW

Just about to go to work, so unable to oblige, will CAT you when I get back at 12.30 and if no one else has done it, I will do it.

edam · 08/08/2006 08:10

Arfish, is her ISP Pipex, or Netfusion? And love the post pointing out the disclaimer on her own site. Hah!
