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 thought my rantings were very well put
am off to drink more wine and feel sorry for my intellegent unappreciated self

So do you think:

"We have already sent an official statement regards the Mumsnet/Gina Ford dispute, to those who have requested it" means any of us can request it? Or was it the email in my inbox, the one I didn't request? Hmm?

I am clutching my fairy as I am PMSL. Does Gina endorse the use of Tena Lady, do you think?

lol @ clutching fairy

Am SO glad SH is away because I am pmsl very loudly

Chapsmum, I'm afraid there just wasn't enough swearing in your post for me. And most MNers. We just don't get intelligent debate I'm afraid.

chapsmum it was you who changed my mind! excellent post i thought!

but what about the Perfect Mum site? what was wrong with that?

That source of hilariousness that got murdered?

The talent of a mnetter's daughter squashed like a bluebottle.

I want it back

Mmm, is it just me, or does she-who-must-not-be-named come across as INCREDIBLY arrogant and "princessy" as a result of all this?

sh=dh

Why can't she do links? Even I can and I'm that think I gave my fave swearword on the original thread.

Y'know, I think I have seen everything!!!!!! marvellous.

Just a teeny-weeny ickle bit, amiable, yes

Lady Fordamort

no, you're right chapsmum
it's just we're all a bit right now...

So is this GF's site?? eh??eh?? No, its Justine's and co. site...

Someone copy this thread before it is deleted

PWP

PWP???

Blimey

it's done MP, it's done

Ok I am being a bit slow tonight and this thread has run away from me.

To clarify, the whole issue GF has with this site is not that some people critisise her advice of methods of parenting, nor get a bit personal calling her names etc. But she has sought legal counsel becuase her name is on the same site as women who swear?????

So, the upshot of it is that GF doesn't want to be talked about on the same site as people who use words such as fucknosed fartdonkey.

I think I've used the phrase "delicious irony" in the past.

That seems to be it in a nutshell ComeOVeneer

I don't know wether to laugh or cry.

Oh, happy day. Really, this has cheered me up so much, I'm off to have a soapy tit wank.

Do you swear and breastfeed?

Swear and co-sleep?

Swear whilst carrying your child in a ring sling?

yes and there is also something Very Important that she is going to go public about

but not yet
