Dear all,

We're pleased to say we have finally reached a settlement with Gina Ford (see here ). Just so you know, we are not at liberty to discuss the terms of settlement further so we won't be able to respond to any questions about that. We are confident, though, that we can all now draw a line under the affair and can move on.

We will continue to lobby hard for a review of the libel laws in this country with regard to websites, as we believe they haven't caught up with the way folks communicate on the net. We'll keep you posted on that.

Thank you everyone for your fabulous support in what's been an anxious time for us at MN Towers.

Best,
MNHQ

Moving house, no internet connection, came on a bit yesterday, but didn't see anything I wanted to post on. Am Cutting Back.

Bye again

allieBongo · 09/05/2007 10:42

GiantSquirrelSpotter · 09/05/2007 10:52

Hurray!

Well done mumsnet

BettySpaghetti · 09/05/2007 10:58

Glad its over -I expect you've been through hell whilst this has been going on (and we probably only know the half of it).

Open a bottle, put your feet up and relax

frumpygrumpy · 09/05/2007 10:59

ArcticRoll · 09/05/2007 10:59

Brilliant news!

sockmonkey · 09/05/2007 10:59

Fantastic news MNHQ. Glad it's all over for you.

Hmmm would you like a whip round mn towers
?

apeainapod · 09/05/2007 11:05

Phew that was a close one - I wondered what the hell was going on.

Congratulations - I think a bottle Krug might be in order?????

morningpaper · 09/05/2007 11:05

Yes! Lunchables are on me!

apeainapod · 09/05/2007 11:07

I'll take the Krug you can keep your Lunchables! I think that's a fair swap!

Snaf · 09/05/2007 11:09

Thank god for that. Justice and common sense prevail

FWIW, would be quite happy for the ban to remain in place!

morningpaper · 09/05/2007 11:10

mmm but these are low in salt and errmmrmmmm crunchy

actually I don't know what Lunchables ARE

they should advertise MORE

apeainapod · 09/05/2007 11:20

Bubbles! and more bubbles - maybe a Magnum would do.....!

Well done and thanks MNHQ for keeping Mn going. I think the ban should continue, because we don't want the situation to rear its head again, with unthinking comments.
How much did you have to pay - should we contribute?

tigerschick · 09/05/2007 11:59

glad it's all over.
Well done MNHQ

LaDiDaDi · 09/05/2007 12:01

Fantastic news. I really hope that this hasn't been too costly for you, financially or emotionally.

PollyLogos · 09/05/2007 12:03

Great news.Hope it wasn't too costly for you though.

joash · 09/05/2007 12:32

Fabulous news - I was wondering what had been happening over this.

tissy · 09/05/2007 12:36

glad it's over, but like Hunker, I will not be discussing her or her methods at all.

Astrophe · 09/05/2007 12:38

Phew! You must be glad thats over. I hope the settlement was a good one for your pockets though

LadyTophamHatt · 09/05/2007 12:53

God, i hate the fact taht MN have had to dish out cash for this.

I'm banning myself too...just on principle.

WigWamBam · 09/05/2007 13:01

Glad it's over, but I also hate the fact that MN have had to pay out.

I shan't be discussing the woman.
