FFS. MN HQ has banned me again!

It appears there is one rule for everyone else on MN and one rule for me.

Apparently you're allowed to discuss everything on MN - except how to cure dyslexia. :( (Because apparently that subject is distressing to parents of dyslexic children)

So, I lose the support I need.

And MNers lose information about treatments that work for dyslexia.

I've made some good friends on here and provided and received lots of support and information and advice.

But this time I'm really going. MN HQ are a law unto themselves and they can't be reasoned with.

If you post nasty replies to this thread, please be aware that of course I will be reading them, and of course they'll hurt.

Afternoon.

We thought it might be helpful to clarify things a little here.

We haven't banned Indigo; we temporarily suspended her posting ability while we mailed her about some of her posts (and also while we sorted out why she was posting from a new account when she'd asked us to ban her under her previous account).

Here is our latest mail to her:

Hi Indigo,

Thanks for your reply. And we're sorry you don't understand.

We hope this explains it better...

We have no problem with you talking about how you have cured your DD's dyslexia (respect to you for that!) or about how you managed to do so, or even about what advice you'd give other parents whose children also have dyslexia. All of this is what Mumsnet is about.

Where we run into difficulties is when, or if, you suggest that dyslexia is universally curable - ie that every child with dyslexia can be cured of dyslexia.

While this may indeed be true of your child, it is not, to our current knowledge, true of all children with dyslexia. And, therefore, to imply that it is could either give false hope to or seriously upset parents whose dyslexic children have not been cured.

It is true that you haven't, as far as we're aware, suggested that it is a parent's fault if their child's dyslexia is not cured but we know that you have said this (or words to this effect) under your previous registration - which is why we referred to it in our mail yesterday.

We hope that clarifies things a little more helpfully.

We appreciate it's a fine line to tread but we do need to have an undertaking from you that you're aware that the line is there and that you won't stray over it.

We do hope you're able to do this. We'd love to have you back on Mumsnet. It's clear that many parents find your advice and encouragement very useful,

Best
MNHQ

@Badvocsanta

Indigo has asked MNHQ more than in the to point to exactly which thread it was they have issues with. She has asked for a list of phrases and words they want her to refrain from using. They have still not replied. She has just had enough I think.

Well, that is strange, Badvoc. As far as I'm aware, we haven't heard back from Indigo since our mail to her (pasted below) on December 18th.
