For all who want GF banned from MN - so does she!!

[mummygow]

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.

oh harpsi (it is you isn't it?) just PSML about whispering swearwords while bf.

What a perfectly odd statement from Ms Clough.
(And there's not just a grocer's apostrophe in there, but rogue commas as well).

I dn't want to shave my legs or paint my toenails (see nail varnish thread!) - ! find this quite patronising actually...

LoL I think we should kept the swearing thread bumped, just for her...

I bet those scummy third world mothers swear at their children all the time

"attachment parenting" my foot - filth parenting, more like

Ah, I see - a mere 'office girl'

Where's JF when you need a bit of good legal counsel

Oops, thought I'd try my hand at italics but it didn't quite work out

PMSL even

just when I thought this thread was going to die and i could go off to bed, Anne Clough of GinaFordEmpire brings it back to life.

did someone say 'delicious irony'?

How's that pronounced, harpsi? gam-uh-lan?

snafu - snort!

LOL actually I would love to met sharon osborne.

lol Franny. Filth is the word. Haven't got a watch or a clock between them.

what about those who have swear words incorporated in their MN names? like 'snafu', for example. should she only be posting after the watershed?

"Ann's mouth resembled a cat's bum and her face was going more puce by the minute as she read what all those shameless, foul mouthed, dirty minded hussies had to say about GF."

This IS the Caption Competition thread, isn't it?

Hunker - like the new name ???

Ere, she works late that Ann don't she

who wrote the article linked to in the DAILY mAIL THOUGH?

sorry

I don't believe that Ann Clough post tbh

Have been trying to work out who you are, COV. Am rubbish at spotting namechanges. You could be me, for all I know! But yes, good name.

In honour of this thread, I have considered changing my name here. To FUBAR.

Good point, expat. I knew this name would do me proud one day

Frankly I've just been on the website and I'm suprised that she's allowed a guest writer on there who talks admits to taking drugs in one of her books
surely that's also not a good thing to be associated with, even indirectly (not IMO by the way, just extrapolating here)

and nothing I've typed about the said writer is untrue BTW

it's chicagomum. do keep up hunker

GC, have you been working out then?

I say, do you think MN could tempt JudgeFlounce out of retirement to represent them? Clash of the Titans, eh; the mind boggles.

(foundintranslation, I noticed the commas too but decided to be polite, cos we are like that on MN :o)
