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

I missed the whole problem/debate so I'm a bit in the dark but it looks like the powers that be at MN did a fantastic job of dealing with the situation and coming to an amicable solution. Thanks

Fantastic new Mumsnet Towers and as you didn't get to enjoy your maternity leave-maybe you should have another baby!
