Thanks for all your support!

[JustineMumsnet]

Morning everyone,
We're overwhelmed by your fabulous support and energy - you've been amazing. Think we're not doing too badly at getting this freedom of speech issue out there don't you? (We particularly enjoyed MorningPaper's retraction.)
Look out for BBC, ITV lunchtime news, C4 at noon and London Tonight today.
And thanks to everyone who's written to us. I'm really sorry that we've not been able to get back to everyone individually - it's only me and Olivia here this week as all the gals are off sunning themselves (great timing!) (Am sending regular text updates though) - and as you can imagine we're a bit up to our eyes.
Many folks have asked what they can do to help further.While we are extremely anxious that this should not become a campaign against Gina Ford, if you have strong views on the law and freedom of speech issues involved you could write to: other websites, your newspaper, your MP, the Law Commission, the Lord Chancellor, the Home Secretary.
A Mumsnetter, wannaBe1974, has also set up a petition here . We'll be in touch if we think there are any other useful things you may be able to do to help.

Thanks again for all your support.

Just paid my CAT fee too.

Lemonaid - I think you click contact another talker - took me ages to find out how to pay, too.

Ahh... it's so easy when you know how!

Do you think Johnnie is cool enough to run with the rebels..
Yeah, jesus I hope so, now boycotting

great job could not do without mumsnet
do let us know what else you may need

No worries Justine - we all love MN and will do anything to help and avoid closure!

You were excellent on the ITV lunchtime news - it wasn't an easy interview and you were fantastic.

Hi from BMC, we are throwing a party for you, it has sausages on sticks and everything!! Just trying to work out how I pay this CAT thing, what I would like to do is send that Justine woman a bloody big bunch of flowers. xxx

BMC Mumsnet Party!

OO might have to tiptoe over to BMC for a nosey !

Mumsnet has been an absolute rock for me, helped me through my first pregnancy, baby and given me many laughs along the way. What's not to support? Keep it up ladies

Just heard Justine on PM on Radio 4 - very good. I think I will emigrate to Canada if MN gets shutdown cos its just mad man mad.

Nice idea bumwipes, I'd be right with you picking out that bunch

Justine must have had a hell of a day! Hope all at MN towers feeling ok...

Off to pay sub now as probably the most useful thing I can do right now.

well done on london tonight! it seems weird seeing it on the tv

Has this really been on R4? dh 'informed'me earlier if it's on R4 it, it's BIG news!

Do all broadcast & radio stations archive their interviews?

have to pop into BMC after i put dd to bed. note: her curtains aren't drawn at 6:30pm and I won't be leaving the room at 7pm.

Oh yes, forgot to say Justine must be exhausted, mentally and physically. You are doing a great job girl!

morningpaper - someone wants to give you a glass of Blue Nun (or maybe even Lambrusco if you're lucky) over at BMC...

yep I missed it on R4 cos was filling car with petrol...caught last 30 seconds or so (dammit) was on PM with eddie thingy.

While we are very grateful for everyone's support, please can I repeat the request.... "we ask members to refrain from any further discussion of Gina Ford, her methods or her books on the site."

Incidentally, refrain from means refrain from. It doesn't mean use a nickname or try to disguise the name. It means don't do it. Sorry if that comes across heavy handed but we must insist that you don't comment on Ms Ford.

Thanks,
Tech

This is just ridiculous.

Tech, can I suggest a LOUD thread! I think everyone has got rather caught up in this!

Were people meant to do nothing then ?

Hi Tech...can you please clarify...do we need to take ANY discussion regarding the "current situation" elsewhere? Is our discussing it causing you problems (or potentially causing them)?
