I have been denied my views on a Mumsnet forum

On this - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/primary/1000195-Kumon-review?msgid=39099341#39099341 - Mumsnet forum a fellow poster has been continuously disregarding my views and opinions and accusing me of being her troll (something banned in the talk guidelines). The problem is that there have been trolls on this page before and that I can understand why she would think I was one originally. However, after explaining to her that I wasn't a troll she still ignored me. I find it hard to understand why she is doing this to me because surely a real troll from Kumon:
a) Would never go to this much effort
b) Would never continue to argue with a fellow poster and risk as the commenter wisely reasoned - "they do not reflect well on Kumon, incidentally - just the opposite."

I simply wanted to express my opinion on a matter I had first hand experience on (I did Kumon) and due to the fact that I was a new user (I didn't know you couldn't post on an 'old' thread) and I'm wondering if:
a) I have done something terrible I don't realise
b) There is anything I can do to protest against this?

Thanks in advance,
Kirsty x

By the way this has nothing to do with your views on Kumon but only your views on free speech/posts ;)

That thread was started in 2010. Report your above post to MNHQ and ask them?

If it were me, I'd just have a namechange and talk about something other than Kumon for a bit. There are some nice posters on MN, but just as in RL you meet people you don't get on with, same here.

Hello hello. Moonshinestar, we responded to your mail to us at 4.31pm today.

Have you not received it?

LtEveDallas · 17/05/2013 17:23

Oh well done feenie (on that thread). I didn't bother to RTFT (no interest) but made me Grin

moonshinestar · 17/05/2013 17:27

Yes Helen, I have but only read it just now, after starting this thread. Thank you for response and I understand your view, though I think it is a shame that my first hand experience of the program won't be of use to others.

And, just to be clear, no one was accusing you of trolling, moonshinestar.

You were reported to us as a possible spammer. Which is something different entirely.

As we said in our mail to you, we do think, in hindsight, that we were wrong to delete your posts as spam. It was an honest mistake, given that they were your first posts on Mumsnet and on a thread was had become inactive and which had been regularly targeted by spammers before, and we have apologised to you - and do so again here.

Do you think it is worth repeating my views or is not worth it? Thanks again btw

Thanks, LtEveDallas Grin

Moonshinestar - why not start your own thread, one that hasn't already been targetted by a billion spammers? I think that would give your views a better chance of being taken seriously.
