As you are all prob aware I follow the Gf routine and am also on her website and this was posted for us to see.

Dear Members,

In response to your emails regarding the statement in The Times Newspaper on 9th May 2006. We would like to confirm that neither Gina or her lawyers have put pressure on Mumsnet regarding the criticism that her methods receive on their forums. Gina was forced to seek legal
advice regarding other very serious issues with Mumsnet, and we will in the near future make a public statement as to her reasons for this. It would appear that some Mumsnet members are demanding a ban of the
Gina Ford name on the site. Gina herself would welcome this, as her forthcoming statement will confirm, she has for very valid reasons, no wish to be associated with the Mumsnet site.

'neither Gina or her lawyers have put pressure on Mumsnet regarding the criticism that her methods receive on their forums'

dare I suggest that Gina is calling MN Towers a bunch of liars?

Read the wording carefully. It's very clever. To me it is still very good news that the legal issues have been brought into the public domain for all to see, and to form their own conclusions about.

snafu · 11/05/2006 18:56

Yeah, whatever. See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya...[mature emoticon]

JoolsToo · 11/05/2006 18:57

hey muumygow - will you get banned for this? Shock

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 11/05/2006 18:58

i have NO IDEA what all this is about..... anyone care to enlighten me?!

Harpsichordcarrier · 11/05/2006 18:59

actually mummygow I think JoolsToo probably has a point
I suspect that what you have done contravenes the rules of the GF website

ComeOVeneer · 11/05/2006 19:00

I agree, not a wise move to have reproduced that on here.

mummygow · 11/05/2006 19:02

not sure JoolsToo, don't know how MN would deal with individuals who mentioned GF but in all honesty I think mn would be a nicer place if we just did stop discussing GF as it goes way beyond her methods by some posters, not all, but some!!

Ah, so your point in posting this was...what?

ComeOVeneer · 11/05/2006 19:03

No the banning JoolsToo is talking about is you on the GF site for reproducing the post onto here.

JoolsToo · 11/05/2006 19:03

no - I meant banned from GF site!

mummygow · 11/05/2006 19:04

Just to say that it prob would be in the best interest of everyone if GF was banned from MN

it is sad though that MUmsnet will be brought into disrepute in the national press because of this

zippitippitoes · 11/05/2006 19:05

I don't believe that message is on the public pages of the website

Harpsichordcarrier · 11/05/2006 19:07

aha
yes, if we didn't mention her name then no one could call into question her methods
how handy and convenient

mummygow · 11/05/2006 19:07

woops, sorry JoolsToo, no actually as this was also said:

We do not have a problem with this email being copied or reprinted in full,in any publication or on any website. It states clearly and simply the true facts regarding the Mumsnet issue.

true HC.

JoolsToo · 11/05/2006 19:09

funny that cos usually everything said and done on that site is her possession

probably wanted it to be reproduced here

zippitippitoes · 11/05/2006 19:09

I hope it said neither nor and not neither or

mummygow · 11/05/2006 19:10

zippitippitoes, sorry your right it was e-mailed to the members - I don't think it appears on the boards

JoolsToo maybe she did so that everyone was feeling the same!! That a ban wouldn't be such a bad thing.
