Hi Baconyum
Thanks for your comments. We take on board what you're saying, but wanted to assure you that this is certainly not MNHQ's stance.
Here's what RebeccaMumsnet posted on the [[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2618250-AIBU-to-not-want-to-socialise-with-someone-convicted-of-sexual-offences-related-to-children?msgid=60578335#60578335
thread]] you've referred to -
We do not condone apologists in this sense and we have removed some posts, however, we do allow freedom of speech and that can sometimes include views that others will find offensive. We also do not allow personal attacks, even if they may seem warranted. We believe that people can say how they feel without personally attacking others and we will remove posts that do so.
As was also said on the thread, last night was an exceptionally busy one with several contentious threads all demanding attention at once.
We're really sorry that we weren't quick enough off the mark on this occasion, but we do respond to every single report we receive, so please continue to report anything which you feel crosses the line.
