OMG....maybe it's my PG hormones or maybe it's just because I love MN so much but actually have tears in my eyes at what you've done to svae MN's skin
I wish I had the brains to help, but you've done a fantastic job without me.

LONG LIVE MN!!!

Quite interesting to see the allegedly defamatory statements being repeated ad infinitum . If nobody was worried about the damage to her reputation by what was posted here, she should be absolutely delighted with the coverage in the national press today.

Freckle · 08/08/2006 06:38

And the Guardian . Can you tell I'm up earlier than usual??

Freckle · 08/08/2006 06:34

And the Independent .

OMG! I stayed off mumsnet yesterday, innocently logged on today and look what's happened. Am and

MNHQ I'm so sorry that it came to this.

Welcome to all the Bounty and BMC-ers. You guys are great .

MP - LMAO!

Everybody else - Great work with the media. What a team! I'm emailing the Australian press and online communtity as we speak. This sort of freedom of speech issue will definitely be of interest to them. Let's make sure this is a global reaction. An attempt to shut down mumsnet and gag all debate on a key parenting issue? I am that this is so Orwellian.

Interesting that no-one and said no lawyers are nowhere to be seen, they must have been expecting this today? Wern't they? Or did they really think there would be no backlash?

Am posting this anywhere that seems relevant:

You can listen again to the snippet about MN on Five Live via the BBC website. It's on "Drive", about 2 hrs 36 mins into the show.

ruty · 07/08/2006 23:29

very angry that MN Towers had their maternity leave curtailed, and have experienced so much stress. MN is the dogs b*llocks. It really has helped me so much as a parent in the most difficult moments. How dare anyone try to close it down. Will contribute to fighting fund if necessary.

aitch71 · 07/08/2006 23:10

harpsi,
i think we're all a little jealous of MP's quote...

HarpsichordCarrier · 07/08/2006 23:08

would it be wildly inappropriate of me to express my of MP's quote in that letter.
I sound so bloody po-faced and humourless...

MrsAnthonyKiedis · 07/08/2006 23:05

morningpaper, just read your letter to dh and we POSL. So funny, thanks for that

cye · 07/08/2006 22:11

i'm so angry!
whoever mentioned a mass bookburning, count me in. also - see 'them' in court. isn't a defence to defamation 'fair comment on a matter of public interest'? ok, some of the stuff said might have been (jokingly) offensive but that's just low abuse (or whatever the legal term is...) not defamation.
personally, i'd also counter that some critisisms are 'true in substance and fact' but i suppose that is a matter of opinion - make for a very interesting trial though!
why should we thousands be silenced by one person just because they've got more money than us?
fume
lets start a fighting fund.

DontlookatmeImshy · 07/08/2006 21:49

Still cant't believe this!

I don't post very often but lurk everyday and can honestly say mumsnet has saved my sanity over the last few months.

Lots of cyber support from me to MNHQ too.

sansouci · 07/08/2006 21:47

fahrenheit 451? boycott needed.

dolally · 07/08/2006 21:37

Haven't read this whole thread (will do so later!) but just want to say I am totally staggered by this!!!

Just want to send ALL my cyber support to you all at Mumsnet HQ. You do a fantastic job...
