I do so hope mn hq leave things as they are

[2shoes]

or no more sn topic for me

Totally agree

Just posted a request it is not changed. Can't bear the thought of the kind of comments people will make, and the judgements they will pass, perhaps not noticing the category is SN.

I've posted on that as well.

thanks, the thread was bit hidden and the fact it was going to be "discussed" worried me, so I thought it should be broungt to the attention of the people that matter.
I don't post in sn to educate, but to get support or give support.

Not got a child with SN but just adding my support, agree should be kept.

me too. its a haven. keep it that way.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

It was me who made the first comment re feeling uncomfortable with the opt-in and the need to eductae, and I hadn't thought it through, and I certainly had absolutely no idea of the strength of feeling about it. I completely understand why people feel the way they do re safe havens.

I think CatherineMumsnet was just being polite when she made the "interesting point" post to me - it didn't seem to me that MNHQ have any formal plans at all to review it. I'm sorry that it's caused so much upset.

Please don't worry about it Hassled. I'm sure that nothing will happen anyway
It was a good point to make... and i'm sure lots of people have wondered why...it clarifies it.

Thank you

DOn't worry about it hassled, I think it is good to remind people every now and again why it is opt in, I only linked here cos of what mn hq said.

ditto hassled. Don't be (hassled) about it!
