What a brilliant thread this is, well done everyone!

KathyMCMLXXII · 09/08/2006 17:13

Justine, you are handling this brilliantly. DH and I are weeping with laughter at Morningpaper's apology.

By the way, has anyone else noticed that the comments about Nobody on the newspaper discussion boards and other websites (eg the Guardian) are way nastier than Mumsnet?

Im loving the fact Mark Stephens used the term "bonkers"

keep up the good work Justine!! what a nightmare!!

sunchowder · 09/08/2006 16:38

Fantastic Job, Justine et all!!! I have been reading with great interest and would also be devastated if the site closed down--it is like a second home to me and has been invaluable. I am so pleased to see the power and dedication of spirit here.

Poor you Justine - when this is sorted, maybe we should all club together and send you away somewhere hot and sunny to recover. Or maybe just a large bottle of vino! Thanks.

Have to say LIZS am feeling a tad weary but have 1000 words to do for S Times on what Mumsnet's all about, so best press on. Could someone kind point me in the direction of Best bit of advice from Mumsnet thread - I know it's there somewhere...?

Nice article Justine , neatly put . But where on earth are you finding the time and energy for all this kerfuffle. Hats off to you.

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 09/08/2006 15:55

and here

says MP's even made it to fark.com (not sure what this is - just having a look)

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 09/08/2006 15:52

google group discussing it here

beckybrastraps · 09/08/2006 15:49

Hooray for Guardian readers, who seem to have got to the heart of the matter ie a disproportionate response to a tasteless joke (sorry morningpaper!), rather than different childcare styles.

well that's an idiosyncratic perspective if ever there was one!!!!

still no update on the BBC page I suspect they are not keeping up shows how deathly premoderating would be

UrsulatheSeawitch · 09/08/2006 15:33

Couple of interesting snippets from the replies on Justine's Guardian bit:

Don't think he quite understands how MN operates....

And

It really was???

thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat · 09/08/2006 14:30

brilliant justine. mp - what a star

cazzybabs · 09/08/2006 14:29

It's even made the register - tabloid equivilent for the IT industry here

MercyTung · 09/08/2006 14:25

Justine - fantastic!!

Thanks QOQ

alexsmilitantmum · 09/08/2006 14:20

we know mp.we know it's ridiculous.

what does your dh think of your fame?

morningpaper · 09/08/2006 14:18

It true, she SHOULD have laughed at my comment and said "Exactly! That's how silly this has all become!" It was just a parody of the extreme good vs. evil that the threads had become.

ZippiZapata · 09/08/2006 14:16

excellent..just the one typo

points well made
