<<whispers>> Was there ever any clarification about whether the issue with GF was swearing on here?

MN Towers, if you'd prefer it if this was deleted, please do so.

But I'm nosy. And I want to know. Please?

(I didn't swear in this, though I was tempted to...childish or what?!)

agree totally meowmix and Jessajam. Another totally nonsensical explanation from dear old AC.

tamum · 24/05/2006 14:49

Yeah, quite Pruni. I almost feel sorry for her, she's clearly been very poorly advised if she thinks this kind of action will "restore" her reputation.

Jimjamskeepingoffvaxthreads · 24/05/2006 14:51

Well I'm on here every day and have managed to completely miss the "hundreds of vicious and libelous messages" about Gina Ford. It gets more mysterious........

bundle · 24/05/2006 14:51

tinker, i don't think it would be a good idea to repeat the (alleged) libels

So sorry that you have to deal with this Justine et al. However the GF camp seem to be exposing their irrationality with each comunication and this can only work in your favour in the long term.

tamum · 24/05/2006 14:53

FIO!!! Is that the one you were telling me about???

Jimjamskeepingoffvaxthreads · 24/05/2006 14:53

Congratulations fio! (where's PKP gone??)

Tinker · 24/05/2006 14:53

Is ACs message also an admission that ginababe was gf? Or has that always been definite?

ruty · 24/05/2006 14:53

me too jimjams. So if we've missed them, what hope do the hundreds and thousands of people who are potential GF book buyers have of seeing them?

I think that's always been definite tinker.

LadyTophamHatt · 24/05/2006 14:54

I glad it's not just me Tinker.

Honestly I'm sitting here and I really cannot make head nor tail of any of it.

I know MN have done everything they can to remove posts, I know MN are seemingly being singled out, I know MN will be in deep financial poop if this does go to court.....I just don't understand why there is case to go to court in the first place or why "anyone" thinks there is...

Maybe I'm just being thick.

meowmix · 24/05/2006 14:54

Given AC is obviously monitoring the site (waves in friendly manner at lurking AC) might it be best to drop discussion now?

Tinker · 24/05/2006 14:54

True bundle. If libelous posts haven't been read are they still libelous? If a tree falls in a forest does it make a noise?

MrsDoolittle · 24/05/2006 14:56

Tinker - you made me think of Eric Cantona!!

JoolsToo · 24/05/2006 14:56

I'm amazed this hasn't hit the newstands!

oliveoil · 24/05/2006 14:56

I think we should all take note of Justine's last line: "Many thanks to all for the supportive and reasoned posts"

Reasoned posts.

One or two threads have occasionally gone back to name calling, and I don't think calling into question GF's legal advice or whether Ann Clough is right or wrong does MN any favours tbh.

Tinker · 24/05/2006 14:56

Jimjamskeepingoffvaxthreads · 24/05/2006 14:56

We're not attacking ther authenticity of her books meow so I think its ok.

ruty · 24/05/2006 14:56

Hi AC! Smile

Carmenere · 24/05/2006 14:57

Of course they are going to have to prove that someone from the GF camp hasn't written these elusive offensive posts themselves to inflame a dispute and maybe even procure financial benefit in the form of a settlement.

MrsDoolittle · 24/05/2006 14:57

Yeah Wotcha old bird!! Grin Grin

meowmix · 24/05/2006 14:58

tru jimjamsomethingaboutvax.... Wink

JoolsToo · 24/05/2006 14:59
