Gina Ford

[JustineMumsnet]

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

What a shame that the comments on the Daily Telegraph article from mumsnetters are so basic and the comments from the pro contented babyers are so articulate, it doesn't enhance Mumsnet's reputation at all to have comments like this or not so much the comments as the poster's name

"Mumsnet is THE best for parenting advice - if you need help raising your children, who better to ask than thousands of other mums who've actually been there?

Congrats from BMC too

Soo glad for you that's it's all over, and best of luck for the legal challengey lobbying thing

I love mumsnet - thank you and well done! This gives me warm fuzzys...

Feature in today's Herald about Mumsnet and Gina Ford "Baby steps: the great parenting debate that?s dividing the nation"

Oooh manictreecreature, I love your name. I briefly considered manicpeashooter but wasn't sure if I'd remember to spell it correctly every time (didn't know about saving details in those days) Are you a fan? Do you like the new album?

sorry everybody for hijack runs back to aibu topic

are we allowed to say what we like about her? Ooh, the gleefull anticipation

So she's gone from SWMNBN to SWMNBM (she who must not be maligned)

I was in Dublin for a funeral and missed this. Jolly Well done.

So glad this is over.
Have the posters who were on the so called 'offending thread' been contacted by Mumsnett Towers, just to ask them to be careful in the future? I think we can all get carried away with our comments. I am not suggesting that this 'ordeal' has been good for Mumsnett, in any way, but we don't want to get ourselves in this kind of situation again, do we ?

I'm glad this is all over now.

Well done, everyone.

Did I miss something? I just wanted practical advice on anyone doing GF Potty Training in a Week....will I be excommunicated?
