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.

(i have bumped offending thread, btw, just in case anyone feels like offloading the frustrations of their day...)

please try not to include any defamator comments or personal insults.

Oh, and I don't think MsClough is a lawyer, I think she is connected to MsFord's website.

thanks hunker

Oh ar$e, I meant defamatory

b*llocks.I swore.

Doh!

Correct GamelanCarrier but who are you?

Well, she has done us all a favour...we have stopped talking about the 'secret' thread, and become 'as one' in our disdain!

Oh fuck, soupy, that's torn it, what?

I assumed a Demfamator was like a Terminator, Soupy.

Could tamum be coaxed into swearing, though?

Nah, I don't think it's possible.

That's why there are twats like me on the board. :o

oh so we can call her names? cos shes not putting pressure on for that. as long as i dont say things like fuck me up the arse?

Was I defamatory, Soupy? Didn't mean to be.

Well, the email I got was from an annclough from CLB.com - is the post 'from' her below genuine, surely it's not, surely it's not? It's just ridiculous! but very, very funny. Oh if it is true it's the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

Agree harpsi, website minion probably.

and custardo, of course :o.

expat, I'm as pure as the driven snow, me :o

Can we say poo? What about shit? What about all the shit we have to deal with not only at work and from dh/dps but the shitty shit that comes out of our children's arses? Eh? Well?

Touche, tamum!

Have sussed it out.

(I am harpsichordcarrier; it was Marina's suggestion. LONG STORY)

presumably saying that i don't believe it came from a genuine source is not defamatory is it?

I hate to write it, but sometimes, my work colleague can be a real c(*t.

She's not very supportive of my parenting methods at times, not being a mum herself.

Sometimes, it all just sucks royal dick.

beansprout pmsl at not a watch or a clock btw them

Should someone report my post on the postnatal March thread? I suggested that a first time mother should not read GF's book. Is this not allowed?

Actually, if AnnClough ISN'T from CLB.com and ISN'T representing the views of Ms Ford then she ought to be deleted pronto didn't she, it could be defamatory? :) But if she is I think her identify should be verified, just so we can be sure.

You're supposed to say something along the lines of, 'I did not find her parenting methods suitable for my infant's needs. Just my opinion.'

Or some other bollocks like that.
