Daily Mail using us, is this fair?

[slaze]

I, like a lot of mumsnetters pour our hearts out here on mumsnet sharing our internal thoughts and some of the most desperate times of our lives. Many having to sift through every post trying not to reveal any identifiable details (risking their anonymity) because of fearing that our posts will be stolen from the relative safety of the mumsnet platform and shared around the world of the Daily Mail. I fear this greatly. If we wanted our lives/opinions shared with a newspaper surely we would contact them directly.

Aside from extremely lazy journalism how can they publish (as fact/news) something that is hardly from a credible source (we've all seen fake posts from time to time). It isn't helping their reputation and people doubting the truth and facts they read in National newspapers.

How do you feel about this?

Also Mumsnet what is your opinion on this?

There have been numerous times that I have deleted things instead of pressing "post" because I don't want it to be picked up by the DM etc. Some of my life circumstances are fairly specific. I also name change quite frequently. I don't actually have any family support in RL aside from DH, nor any proper friends aside from the other mums at DD's school, most of whom I really don't know very well at all.

It would be something if I didn't feel that MNHQ didn't actively promote the "spicier" threads to increase site traffic. But they do. It puts me off posting, & reading, because I tend to go elsewhere TBH. I certainly wouldn't pay membership. It's not as if they even have a board that caters for me. Despite having been asked, by many users. cough CHRONIC PAIN cough

Yeah I still can't believe there is not a chronic pain board. Especially when you see other boards that seem to be practically unused ( forces sweethearts and the unexplained are two examples that spring to mind)
