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.

told ya! the way of Narnia . . .

agree with cod- we don't know the ins and outs of anything or what the legalities are of anything so perhaps we should leave this now. We could actually be making things worse. Can we bear Justine, Carrie and Rachel in mind when we're discussing this. if mn goes down the swanny we lose somewhere to chat- they could lose a hell of a lot more

Then I suggest we're being goaded, don't you think?

I mean, it had all died a death hadn't it? Then someone outside MN comes in to stir it all up again.

Sorry, trying my best to stay out of this

it's the second one hunker
it's Indonesian for ShitMusic

anyhow I don't think my BP can take much more. I just don't think in this case the issue can be left alone really.

OK, sorry. I think this last few days on here, coupled with being shut in a house of Chicken Pox has made me a bit jumpy. Sorry

I feel my gsoh emerging so will go suck lemons for half an hour

S'OK, Dior. Sorry you're in the house of pox - hope all itchy spots gone soon.

let's just ban all mention. As EIS said

would be easier on MNHQ really. I thought this was mad before, but after reading the OP, maybe it's for the best

I don't see that this thread will cause any further probs for J&C&R et al, I really don't. If AnnClough is genuine then we have to assume her email came with the blessing of GF, and it is simply laughable, by anyone's definition.

Dior we are just recovering from the pox here too. Cabin Fever, it's the boke.(sp?)

Cod - I think it would be highly disingenuous of MS Ford and her lawyers to circulate the email which is posted at the very begining of this thread and not expect it to lead to some discussion of the issue on this forum.

I do not believe that the Anne Clough post is real - but just my view.

I eagerly await Ms Ford's public statement...

I know...poor little mite is really poorly, but I need adult conversation, and maybe a family sized bag of maltesers!

If the Ann Clough post is not real then it is someone really, truly shit-stirring, and presumably it will be deleted soon?

Guess we'll never know if the annclough post is real because it is her one and only...

Why couldn't GF have a MN name? Perhaps we should dream one up?

have just had a look at look at the folrdermorts website-£40!!!!!!! can't believe anyone would pay to go on it!!!!!

"However, at this moment in time her main objective is to ensure that the general public are aware that she is not personally associated in any official way with Mumsnet.com. "

Isn't the logical conclusion to that that we avoid making any favourable comments then? Better stick to slating her to be on the safe side.
Anything to keep her happy.

How can this woman's post be real? I'm sure that GF has more important things to do that have 'avoiding association with MN' as her number one priority!

Seems fishier by the minute...

If someone made it up then total respect- it's hilarious :o

Hi all,
Just to clear things up, no one has broken our rules re namechanges on this thread, viz:
"Whilst we allow unlimited nickname changes to preserve anonymity we don’t allow name changing for malicious or inflammatory purposes." And for those wondering, we are confident AnnClough is who she claims to be.
Night all,
MNHQ

Coo.

So how's maternity leave then?

oh Justine - I detect a touch of weariness in your post

I do hope things get back on an even keel very soon.

g'night

oo-er
handbags at dawn everyone.

Maternity smernity .
