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.

chapsmum.

why thankyou!

and on apoint of order, is gf actually a qualified health professional. is a maternity nurse not just like a nursery nuse IYSWIM????

chap must be 'jolly wean'. he can't be a chap or even a 'bairn'. he's a wean.

Oh I ve got it

Little happy chappy!!!

Is there really a parenting book called 'good mother, Bad mother' ??

yes it was published a week or so ago

hardly a parenting book I thought you could be a mother or father to be a parent. More of a mothering book. Authored by none other than a person who is not a mother!!!
Amazing, I am not a vet or an anamil lover but am going to write a book entitled
"good zoo keeper bad zoo keeper"
and dont youdare dissagree with my opinion or I will sue!!!

DH's sole response, when told of the fracas, was 'Imagine leaving your bairn to greet for hoors like that?' :o

rofl Expat , love your scottish accent.
Tis very becoming of a young lady, perhaps you should write a book about it:
good accent, bad accent...a guide to scooots!

Expat i just had this image of your dh in blue face paint, a kilt, and a head of hair like Mel Gibson in 'Braveheart' !

Was I dreaming or had somebody mentioned a negative review of GF's new book on Amazon?

please tell me the title of that book is supposed to be ironic.

There was a 1 star review of good mum bad mum wessexgirl, but its gone.

I'd like to thin kso ruty, but the circumstances suggest otherwise tbh

Yes, I thought so...went to have a gander and it isn't there. Are Amazon in discussions with G's lawyers too??

ruty
DH has quite thin blonde hair. he is skinny as a rake and tall. doesn't look much like mel. he's got the blue eyes, tho. :o

theres a 1 star review of clbb which says something like'unless you want your kid to grow up an amoeba,don't use this book'

sounds very handsome expat. I mean that in a non sexual way of course!

Would love to see this Amazon review...wonder where it has gone?

Can i just ask for someone to confirm my summary of this situation.......

Ms Ford and her website do not wish to be associated with Mumsnet in any shape or form.

This is seemingly (following Ann Cloughs post) because Mumsnet users use undesirable language or have a type of humour which is alledgedly apparently deemed unacceptable/unsuitable for followers of Gina Fords books/routines?

So in essence....alledgedly you have to be a certain "type of person" to be able to discuss/recommend/not recommend GF books/routines?

Did i use alledgedly in all the right places there?

Yes, but you spelt it wrong

I've noticed that the alleged poster who was Ginababe was also Poppins on here

ah greensleeves, i posted a thread for you last night.....

Expat, I was being polite. I'm not trying to hit on your DH, promise.
I knew GF had a Mary Poppins complex.

oh well at least i killed the thread.

Poppins is all message deleted as well.
