Childcare guru threatens supportive parenting website.

[aragon]

The Guardian, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Independant......ad infinitum.

Check it out......

But remember - no mentions by name.

Apparently has threatened Mumsnet among other sites which bring parents together to support one another.

Are we allowed to have links to articles about no-one or does it count as a post about nobody IYSWIM?

There are various threads which have links to all the stories

Just found one of the threads with links. Thanks.

Ah...just read the article in the Indy.

Also on the Jeremy (sp?) Vine show.

aragon, see here

on C4 News now!

good interview Justine!

She (or her lawyers have lcearly overreacted) but attributing comments like "stick a baby on a back of a rocket and send it into Lebanon" is just plain stupid as it's obviously not true.

There are a lot of vitriolic and illinformed comments on this board as well as the supportive valuable stuff. Lets hope that this makes people think a little more about the what they write and say.

sorry for all the typos!

Hello hellybobs, are you new?

Maybe, but when you're chatting to 'friends', you don't tend to censor your conversation!

have just searched and found that you're not. OK!

Hellywobs...think original post was not actually that any guru suggested mums stick babies to rockets..think it was actually in reponse to a question from a new poster who asked something along the lines of "what does this guru do that has got you all debating said guru" to which , as you point out a "obviously" not true, humourous reply regarding rockets was made...

Yes some stupid things were said. But does it really matter. If a learned professor of childcare had printed in a reputable journal an opinion that this person "beleived that babies should be stuck to rockets" I think that they might have a case to answer. But as this is a website where people post their own personal, unscientific opinions, I think that all this fuss is total overkill.

cheers clarab

I wonder - has mumsnet kept certain posts of vitriol that Voldemort wrote itself while posting incognito? Surely what's good for the goose is good for the gander ... it's not immune to a bit of message board bashing itself...

Just searched on voldermorts mn name and found that quite a few of the afformentioned persons posts were deleted! I wonder why?

Just thought it might be useful in any courtroom defence to show that it gave as good as it got...

SSSHHHH everyone, MNHQ asking that we don't even mention (even inserting blank spaces...still able to lurk and spot them without searching on any names....yes?
