to be TOLD by another mothering forum that I can't mention anything about them here?

[northernrefugee39]

I have been on another mothering forum, which is VERY "sweet" and "mama" and "fun" and "hun"
I've had threads deleted, and will be chucked off soon I'm sure, even tho I'm not being rude, just disagreeing.
I've had TWO warnings, GUESSING that I'm someone here( they've only assumed I'm the same person, as I've never said it).
That's an assumed accusation isn't it?
I suppose it could be libelous if they don't have proof I'm the person they think I am.

Anyway, it's the cheek of being told that their site can't be talked about here!

Are they being reasonable?

I personally rather like a few of those slings!! Got a manky old thing that I use, and would love to look terribly yummy mummy with some gorgeous fabric!!
Are you just against baby slings???

Hey ho, I'll just dream on, and keep using the rag I have already.

(never heard the phrase baby-wearer before though! not a fan.)

those slings are too delicate/girly for me.

i have 2 in this print

and one in this one

plus some hardwearing didymos and storchenwiege wraps.

Oh kiskideesameanoldmother. those are gorgeous! !
Don't mind me, i'm just jealous because my youngest is 8 and a trifle large for a sling
The flowery skull one is fab.
I'm sure they didn't have them like that in my day.
Only kind of hippy ones or leather ones(?)

I do think the phrase babywearing is... strange though.

And the ones with floaty extra bits look a mit.. unpractical. But you one could toss them around like a pashmina, as long as you didn't toss the baby that is, how embarassing.

or even a mite unpractical.

Saggarmakersbottomknocker - saw you posting and wanted to say hello! (I used to be LittleMy34)

And also thank you for all your support a couple of months ago - you'll be glad to hear we're feeling much better these days.

Is it even legal to stop someone from discussing something non-libellous in an open forum? I doubt it. Freedom of speech and all that. It's under enough bloody threat in this country as it is. The only people who could technically stop you would be MNHQ I'd have thought.

oh remember the GF issue here on MN, she objected to comments made about her methods. gina had a great big strop throwing the rattle out the pram

And thanks to a precedent set in the Godfrey v. Demon case in 2000, which set out the now familiar "notice and takedown" rules, ISPs are deemed responsible for any defamatory material they have been made aware of, and not moved "swiftly" to take down.

i always imagine getting one of those long trailing bits of fabric caught in a shutting door as i waltz rush though. so i can never find myself buying one.

i do think the term babywearer is odd. much prefer 'sling addict' which more or less describes me.

american forums are the snottiest/worst when it comes to restricting free and open debate. not that i have ever ventured onto babycentre, bounty, et al. the right to freespeech anyone?

i flounced off an american one because they insisted taht a spanish language welcome post to a new spanish user be translated into english too or be removed in 24 hrs.

i responded that to have me repeat an action 2x was discriminatory. (i was born into a society where my home language was discouraged at school).

they disagreed so i fucked off.

Wow, I don't know what to say, I'm so shocked by that.

I stand by my long post on the other thread yesterday. This is it with bits relating to that thread taken out:

Let's get something straight. This site may not be fluffy and people may swear - after all we're all adults and when you see f**k ya know what it means! We may not hide our periods behind some random relative or pretend we don't really have sex, we "baby dance". But this site IS supportive! I find it far more supportive than the sites where arguing is banned, where threads get locked or deleted because they get too heated. Just because people aren't scared to express their opinion doesn't mean they're not supportive.

It's like a relationship, you know the couples who say "we've been together 20 years and never had a row"? You just know that the first time they row they will split up because they don't know how to handle it.

Oh duchess you're right.It's so frustrating.Free speech just doesn't come into it.
MNHQ are open to it at least.
Thank God for mumsnet.
Tinkerbelle's rousing support has received cheers af ew times, here's some more

Wsas it you who said it's like a family who have rows but know really they would do anything when the chips were down?

< LittleMy - You are most welcome - glad you're doing OK >

Thank you, no that wasn't my line, I said something similar about couples.
