Did you ban John Hemming (the MP) for outing me ?

999 replies

CarpeVinum · 21/12/2013 23:47

Cos he isn't on The Thread.

And I'd like to know why.

I am immaginging that the party whip we've been phoning, emailing and twittering has tied him up and run off with his keyboard.

Can I hang on to that fantasy, or did you ban him ?

It's not the end of the world to me that he posted my twitter account, knowing it was me and knowing it was my real name. But I will quickly drum up some minding if required to purge MN of his presence.

Hi, have been lurking on this thread for a bit. I have retweeted but I only have 14 followers so I'm not sure how useful it will be.

WRT bringing Parliament into disrepute - would it be worth tweeting the Speaker, John Bercow?

When is Mr Hemming's week's ban finished ? And will HQ be advising us of the outcome of it ? I assume they are watching this thread very closely.

Have lost all tradk of time.

MNHQ on duty person! yooo-hooo !

Do you know ?

I was hoping for an answer to the question "does deliberately outing RL names of MN posters warrant a lifetime ban ?" I am sure we will be advised of this.

WestmorlandPigInBlanket · 30/12/2013 00:30

I noticed they said that they would review after a week rather than let him back after a week.

To be honest it may be that we have created enough of a shitstorm about it on mumsnet that he won't be able to post without people seeing his name and being very Hmm anyway.

There is of course also the chance that someone in his party may have finally decided to do something about it.

I just don't understand what drives him to do it?

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 30/12/2013 00:31

megalomania would be my best guess.

It's a common affliction amongst his ilk

I am also hoping for the answer.

But due to now being used to waiting Grin I am distracting myself with the scary reality that the blog stats have gone a bit bonkers now.

People should really be in bed !

I wish I could do twitter.

But I'm an old gimmer and have no real wish to change

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 30/12/2013 01:01

MaryzBoychildCheeszuzCrizpz · 30/12/2013 01:03
