SORRY TO MNHQ

[Hattie05]

Dear all at MNHQ, i would like to say how sorry i am to hear this morning that some of your members have actually seen fit to grass you up with regard to the advert.
I consider this to be a complete overeaction and pure nastiness imho.Especially as you have already made it clear you are revising your policies on advertising.
I don't and never will have a problem with the advert, despite being a breastfeeder. I assume we are all intelligent enough to realise that ad's on websites are pure revenue making and to choose our own method of feeding our babies.
I don't know what to say except i am sorry

Hattie, your original post (and some of your later ones) was pretty inflammatory . Calling people grasses and accusing them of pure nastiness. And suggesting that those who disagreed with the ad are stupid. Are you surprised people disagreed with you, and dared to criticise you?

I think Hattie might have wanted a long thread full of aggro and saw this subject as the best way to get it! (As Sophable said.. an email would have sufficed if she was sincere. There is no good answer to that!)

Well you got your thread Hattie! Can we stop now?

Bit late the pair of you, it has already stopped.

Sorry it hasn't stopped, been out all day.

Hattie, you would do sweet fa about this helpline.

And that's your right. I wouldn't dream of telling you that you have no right to exercise the option of doing nothing. If you don't care about it, that's absolutely your choice, and I have absolutely no right whatsoever to take you to task about it. How you respond to Milupa is your business.

But I do care about it, and you have absolutely sod-all right, to tell me that I've got no right to do anything about it, and that my motivation for wanting to do something about is pure nastiness.

D'you see?

Because what this thread implies, is that those of us who do care about Milupa's shenanigans, and are actually prepared to do a bare minimum about it - like talk to the NCT or BabyMilk Action, should simply do as you do and do nothing.

Well I don't really see why you've got the right to tell me to do nothing about something I feel is important. And that's what this thread is basically implying. And that's why you've got some strong reactions.

Hattie, I noticed on another thread you reassured someone who was feeling got-at as a bottlefeeder. You said something like, the people who are bothered about Milupa are angry with the company's tactics, not with mothers who bottlefeed. I was surprised - after reading this thread - and impressed.

edam, because i do understand what these debates are all about - and realise it is not a breast v bottle debate. I had great sympathy for that mum remembering what it was like only 6weeks after birth when your emotions are high and you are terrified that you're doing the right thing. It must be awful for her to read all this interrupting Aptamil = BAD NEWS, and then she's thinking well what alternative do i have??

Caligula!! how many times do i have to point out, i thought it was nasty for someone to report Mumsnet - you didn't report mumsnet so why are you getting so upset by that???
I don't care what people wanted to do with regard to Milupa and have not told anyone what their rights are.

So stop looking for a fight because this thread is over.

I have replied to people thanks giraffeski, as someone else has said if you're not interested in a thread then don't post on it.

I know you have posted on this thread giraffeski, but i'm just getting real tired off the good ol' laugh been had about me here. I just have replied to Edam and Caligula, and would appreciate being allowed to do that with someone immediately telling me not to post.

My post really was as plain and simple as it reads, and i am gutted that i got such childish reaction, and yes it made me get down to childish level also because i am so infuriated that people think they do have a right to shoot people down so much when they disagree!!

"i am so infuriated that people think they do have a right to shoot people down so much when they disagree"

You don't agree with that kind of behaviour Hattie? Exscuse me then for completely misunderstanding your original post on this thread!

What, answer peoples questions when they ask them????

IF YOU ARE JUST TO TAKE THE PISS GO DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE i'm sick of it.

None of you were even the ones who reported mumsnet so why on earth are my comments bothering you so much???

Who reported MN Hattie?

Read the rest of the thread and you'll see that milkymouth admitted to this.

I have absolutely no problem with the whole debate, quite agree that Milupa is breaking rules etc etc, was just upset that Mumsnet were going to get pulled up about it.
Each and every one of my posts is explaining this in someway and people don't seem to be realising. Which is why i'm getting so frustrated as i'm being made out to look like some idiot and that i'm saying that Milupa is doing no wrong ...

Please tell me you know understand (don't have to agree) but just understand that my post was not intended to upset everyone who was against Milupa.

Thank you! I'm bored off this too, but wanted that to be noted.

Admittedly at the time i thought there were more, but it does appear to just have been the one poster.

I'm off to bed now and will probably dream about Milupa and formula and bottles ......

I understand, thanks for explaining.

(and no, I don't quite agree, but diversity's the spice of MN, and all that )

PHEW!!

i'm glad to not be hated for the rest of my life on mn.
