lol at the Mark Stephens fanclub

This is just amazing.

fwiw i think MN is coming across extremely well in all of this. Well done MNHQ.

JessaFreedomFighter · 09/08/2006 09:38

thewomanwhothougtshewasahat - thank you!!! I have been dying to get onto MN and point out that the statement from could be construed as implying that Israel is a terrorist state...but have been unable to get onto 'net...aaaarrrrgh the frustration!!!! So thank you for getting there first!!!

LiliLaGuillotine · 09/08/2006 09:37

what a great letter!!!!
I didn't see any TV yesterday on this but dh came home saying that everyody was talking about MN!
Go Justine!!!!!

babyonboard · 09/08/2006 09:37

lol at ''the best advice (would) have been "Go home, look at your royalty figures and forget all about it" ''

babyonboard · 09/08/2006 09:35

Justine - fancy a house swap?..your gorgeous place for our two bed 'sarf lahndan' flat, in need of a little tlc

you'd be the clear winner!

JackieNo · 09/08/2006 09:35

Another blog mention here (third item down).

MrsFogi · 09/08/2006 09:35

I think we should carry on with our media onslaught until we have our right to free speech on mn back - I'm sure some of the radio prgs/newspapers would enjoy the latest installment.

No grovelling required by us HC. Cheers though.

ZippiZapata · 09/08/2006 09:32

tell it how it is then

TrotskyPlayedTheHarpsichord · 09/08/2006 09:24

Justine I don't know if you have seen my emails saying sorry (I keep getting an out of office reply)
but good job yesterday. you were tireless and fabulous.
says HC, grovelling

ledodgyrobespierre · 09/08/2006 09:24

Pmsl @ the last web blog!

JustineMumsnet · 09/08/2006 09:22

and another one from the Times law weblog - which I rather think Mark Stephens enjoyed.

LadyTophamHatt · 09/08/2006 09:19

But we've all seen the letter demanding the closure of the site....haven't we??

or did I dream that??

JustineMumsnet · 09/08/2006 09:19

The Times Law Weblog - with ability to add comments.

longwaytogo · 09/08/2006 09:18

brilliant response me thinks

tigermoth · 09/08/2006 09:16

Just seen the Mirror article. I am sure mumsnet towers did not need 'persuading by the service provider' to delete comments. Mumsnet is bunch of inane women incapable of making a reasoned decision? As if.

morningpaper · 09/08/2006 09:09

DOH! Bloody Americans

blueshoes · 09/08/2006 09:07

Great response, mn. Her responses only serve to confuse and obfuscate, but yours brings sense and clarity.

satine · 09/08/2006 09:06

How can SWMNBN get away with suggesting that MN itself has been waging a campaign of "very serious and offensive libels about me"? I know that some individual posters have made comments to which she objected, which were deleted, but I don't see how anyone can say that those constitute a deliberate campaign by MN HQ. V v unfair.

If I was no-one's lawyer, I'd go on holiday.

MrsBadger · 09/08/2006 09:00

Justine, you're fab!

(NB Morningpaper, you've been given a new alias by a blogger in the US called Daddytypes who's picked up on this... )

CristinaTheAstonishing · 09/08/2006 08:59

Great stuff, well done.

MP - such a funny answer. How's it feel to be a bit of a celeb?
