MN survey : Misleading Headline (Walking on Eggshells: almost 4 in 10 Mumsnet users say they have been in a controlling or abusive relationship)

I think this should be "..almost 4 in 10 Mumsnet users WHO RESPONDED TO A SURVEY say they have been in a controlling or abusive relationship"

It was a self-selecting group and the results have not been weighted.
While I think it's absolutely right to raise awareness and get people talking (and doing something) about coercive control, I think it is equally important to report statistics correctly.

Also the URL www.mumsnet.com/relationships/coercive-control has a in the opening paragraph (controlling or abusive relationship with a partner" but there is no corresponding * to explain what this means on that page.

This is STILL really annoying me. The headline is misleading. How do I get someone in MN to respond to this?
