See I'm optomistic and think this thread will get a bit too long as well LOL..

I think the rockets quote is bloody hilarious and adds hugely to the gaiety of the nation. Anyone who takes it remotely seriously needs a sense of humour transplant.

The rockets comment is so obviously tongue in cheek, it makes anyone taking it seriously look ridiculous in my opinion.

If it wasn't for the rockets quote it wouldn't be getting all the publicity

Not that I don't offer my unconditional apologies for the rockets quote of course

SlightlyFamiliarPeachyClair · 08/08/2006 14:17

there's not an awful lot we can do about the rockets quote though- and the las thing we want is fpr m-netters to feel bad, we must continue to stick together on this

Anyway- surely a significant part of this issue is, just because a feud is occurring with regards to say 3 posts out of 10K a day, why would a nobody who generally concerned about parent welfare want to remove all the good things on MN? Nobodies self interest / self obsession is that huge

there are other issues relating to setting up websites in the US though, such as COPA, which means you have to ensure that all your members are over the age of 13 - obviously it's unlikely that mn'ers would be that young, but if they were they would be unable to join and steps need to be taken to ensure this. So while setting up a site in the US would guard against cases like this one, there would obviously be that issue

agree that the rockets quote is not helping our cause...

mummyhill · 08/08/2006 12:53

Sad that ITV decided to latch onto the rockets quote. Interviewer seemed determined to trip you up and give you a hard time Justine. Well done for not letting her get to you.

MrsRichardHammond · 08/08/2006 12:53

thats how to tell which way they side with. If they use that and no others it would appear they're in favour of she who must not be mentioned shame really. Keep up the hard work Justine! xx

tallmummy · 08/08/2006 12:50

Wish they'd stop using the "strap them to rockets" quote, out of context it looks bad!

MrsRichardHammond · 08/08/2006 12:50

aragon · 08/08/2006 12:42

Ooopps! Sorry - did it again and got deleted. Meant to say that there's been "no comment" from nobody or the lawyers - Lawyers is okay to say isn't it?

theflumpsmum · 08/08/2006 12:42

well done justine and everyone else who is involved in getting this situation out into the media spotlight,just wondering why swmnbn or the legal team have not made any comment so far.hopefully when they realise we all are supporting the site 100% and not going to curtail things may die down.
keep up the fight,and if anyone needs any help whatsoever in this just drop me a line.ive been told im a stubborn pain in the arse many a time when ive fought for what i believe in.
