Dear all,

We're pleased to say we have finally reached a settlement with Gina Ford (see here ). Just so you know, we are not at liberty to discuss the terms of settlement further so we won't be able to respond to any questions about that. We are confident, though, that we can all now draw a line under the affair and can move on.

We will continue to lobby hard for a review of the libel laws in this country with regard to websites, as we believe they haven't caught up with the way folks communicate on the net. We'll keep you posted on that.

Thank you everyone for your fabulous support in what's been an anxious time for us at MN Towers.

Best,
MNHQ

morningpaper · 09/05/2007 11:10

mmm but these are low in salt and errmmrmmmm crunchy

actually I don't know what Lunchables ARE

they should advertise MORE

Snaf · 09/05/2007 11:09

Thank god for that. Justice and common sense prevail

FWIW, would be quite happy for the ban to remain in place!

apeainapod · 09/05/2007 11:07

I'll take the Krug you can keep your Lunchables! I think that's a fair swap!

morningpaper · 09/05/2007 11:05

Yes! Lunchables are on me!

apeainapod · 09/05/2007 11:05

Phew that was a close one - I wondered what the hell was going on.

Congratulations - I think a bottle Krug might be in order?????

Piffle · 09/05/2007 11:01

Hmmm would you like a whip round mn towers
?

sockmonkey · 09/05/2007 10:59

Fantastic news MNHQ. Glad it's all over for you.

ArcticRoll · 09/05/2007 10:59

Brilliant news!

frumpygrumpy · 09/05/2007 10:59

whoopdeedoo!

BettySpaghetti · 09/05/2007 10:58

Glad its over -I expect you've been through hell whilst this has been going on (and we probably only know the half of it).

Open a bottle, put your feet up and relax

GiantSquirrelSpotter · 09/05/2007 10:52

Hurray!

Well done mumsnet

allieBongo · 09/05/2007 10:42

yes hunker, as long as it is not personally related to one person

hunkermunker · 09/05/2007 10:42

Moving house, no internet connection, came on a bit yesterday, but didn't see anything I wanted to post on. Am Cutting Back.

Bye again

WendyWeber · 09/05/2007 10:40

hunker! where you bin?

madamenoir · 09/05/2007 10:39

Great news! Seems like a very grown-up decision!

hunkermunker · 09/05/2007 10:39

Well done, MN Towers.

Am still not talking about her though, since I don't think I can be nice.

Can I say fucknosed fartdonkey with gay abandon now though?

feetheart · 09/05/2007 10:35

Fantastic news and a huge WELL DONE to all at Mumsnet Towers. I have been so impressed at the dedication you have shown in sticking up for what you (and most of us) believe. It must have put an enormous strain on you all - if there is anything left in the fighting fund I think a mahoosive bottle of the bubbly stuff is called for

Thank you for fighting so hard to keep this amazing site going.

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 09/05/2007 10:34

Brill news!

Nikki76 · 09/05/2007 10:31

I don't think we should complain about certain cheese spread adverts now - MNHQ need the money for legal fees! Advertise away! Do Fruit shoots next!

RustyBear · 09/05/2007 10:29

Rusty's room service for all at MN Towers

Bucketsofdynomite · 09/05/2007 10:21

Hurray.
I think Voldemort is a great name.

Boco · 09/05/2007 10:21

Phew! Glad Mn is here to stay. Hope the costs aren't too horrendous.

As a relative newbie i've never ever typed the words ...Gina Ford....

(still feels very naughty)

Relieved on everyone's behalf that this is over. I think mumsnet hq has been fab thoughout this whole debacle. V much hope you aren't too much out of pocket (that bit doesn't seem fair to me either, but that's compromise for you) I continue to be amazed that you all fought so hard for what you believe in, and to keep mn going, when there was v little to be personally gained for Justine and co, and much to be lost by not throwing the towel in.

Really hope mn hq get time to spend spoiling their children rotten for a while now.

lol at mp's self imposed ban.
