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

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.

Yes! Somebody knows a deep dark secret about him (allegedly) but didn't post it.

And he is unlikely to win the next election becuase of boundery changes.

I know he took a -2.5% hit in the last election when the turnout shot up. Not sure how boundry changes would make a larger hit likely. But prepared to take poster at her word.... becuase it suits me to.

Yoni. His mumsnet account has been suspended for now says Justine. They are going to take a relook in a week or so.

CarpeVinum · 23/12/2013 14:47

Oh yes! I fogot that bit.

Which thread did Justine say that on?

Golddigger · 23/12/2013 16:00

This one.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1945859-John-Hemming-MP?

I was surprised that she didnt post the message on this one.

Lioninthesun · 23/12/2013 17:17

MN I seem to remember when AnyFucker was banned you mentioned her actions several times and explained why she had been banned - for a lot less than JH! I don't recall her outing other posters and breaking the law thus putting the site in jeopardy?

MadameDefarge · 23/12/2013 17:39

I think we all need a nice break from JH. Including MNHQ.

he will still be there after xmas.

Lioninthesun · 23/12/2013 17:42

What a festive thought Xmas Grin

Umm....I also don't see about 15 threads titled 'Bring back JH', 'How dare MN ban JH', 'MN we're going to flounce en masse if you don't unban JH' and mass namechanges to 'LionHemmingintheSun', 'MadameJohnDefargeHemming', etc., in tribute to the poster who has fallen on his sword Wink

I think the circumstances are quite, quite different Grin

MadameDefarge · 23/12/2013 17:55

ew felt a tiny bit sick at that name change, lougle. Ahem.

CarpeVinum · 23/12/2013 18:10

Well I point blank refuse to change my name to CarpeJohnHemming.

I'm no number 27.

CarpeVinum · 23/12/2013 18:12

If there were 15 threads of "how very very you dare ban JH" ...MNHQ would have their very own Cutted Up Pear moment.

Yes, quite different. I was trying to make that point (clearly not very well)! Agree that name change made me feel queasy although that could be that DD and I have cracked open the Quality Street

BeyondTheLimitsOfXmasability · 23/12/2013 18:17

I quite fancy "beyondtheacceptabilityofjohnhemming" Xmas Grin

LakeDistrictBabe · 23/12/2013 18:20

"ew felt a tiny bit sick at that name change, lougle. Ahem"

Mine would become 'JohnHemmingbabe" and the only thought of that makes me vomit Shock

"Umm....I also don't see about 15 threads titled 'Bring back JH', 'How dare MN ban JH', 'MN we're going to flounce en masse if you don't unban JH'"

Nope, I guess all discussions point out that 'Leave JH out of MN as long as possible" could be a very popular thread on here...

Lioninthesun · 23/12/2013 18:24

Shame that his name rhymes with Rimming Xmas Confused

Although I would actually rather be called Lionrimminginthesun

MadameDefarge · 23/12/2013 18:29

No PAs everyone!

Lioninthesun · 23/12/2013 18:32

Sorry if that was counted as a PA - thought it was use of English, and it is a shame! Although in hindsight maybe it should have been Remming... Confused

MadameDefarge · 23/12/2013 18:38

or phlegming...

BoreOfWhabylon · 23/12/2013 19:04

I may change my name to BoreOffJohnHemming - that couldn't possibly be considered a PA, could it?

lougle · 23/12/2013 19:19

I have thought about what my namechange could be...I could only come up with 'Lemming'. Can anyone remember that game?

WestmorlandSausage · 23/12/2013 19:25

I loved lemmings!

Lioninthesun · 23/12/2013 19:31

I think JH probably misread Mumsnet as LemmingNet, which is perhaps why he thought it would be an easy win entering into what I would loosely call 'debate' - does make you wonder how he is at all influential, well, anywhere really!
