Please MNHQ overturn Posie Parker's ban

[Velella]

That's it really.
Add a post if you agree.

The semantle thread was deleted because it had a spoiler for that day's puzzle in the title. Nothing to do with the content of the post itself.

What was Lang Cleg banned for?

From memory and with no inside knowledge, as I understand it ...

She was raising awareness of safeguarding red flags, associations in groups of people and so on. Safeguarding was her strength, and she had things she needed to point out (which I think we are all aware of now).

She argued after a deletion (in private emails, so we don't know what was said) and was banned for being argumentative.

Yessss! Please bring Posie back! Kellie Jay is doing great work protecting Women's right and child safeguarding. She deserves a platform here.

She has got thousands of followers on you tube and Standing for Women local groups, speakers corner events and the billboard merchandising. I think she has moved on from being banned on here.
Sadly she isn't the only person banned from MN for standing up for women and safeguarding children.

I believe KJ has stated that she wouldn't return even if she was allowed to? So I'm not sure what the point of this thread is really?

I do hope Elon Musk overturns her a Twitter ban though!

She was a safeguarding expert so was not popular with our delightful external moderators. She pointed out that by reacting to the pressure of said monitors to delete posts that did not specifically break the rules but that shone a light on elements of the ideology that the monitors do not want exposed to sunlight (e.g. about the acronym that dare not speak its name), MN mods were being subjected to coercive control. One mod in particular misunderstood and seemed to think LangCleg was accusing the mods of exercising coercive control, and no amount of explanation could get them to see otherwise. Justine backed up the mod - as you'd expect from a boss, perfectly admirable - but unfortunately it was clear she believed the same misunderstanding. And so one of the forum's most knowledgeable and articulate voices on safeguarding was banned.

How short sighted, I didn’t appreciate this. We need more safeguarding expertise!

The issue with Langcleg was just illustrated in the most recent post. confusion between the words "monitor" and "moderator".
Monitors being the external people trying to silence women and moderators being the people employed by MN to moderate posts.

Whoops, yes, first sentence should have said "delightful external monitors".

Agreed.

Agreed. Bit cowardly of mn to have banned her.

The latest speakers corner video is up on you tube.

I would like to ask Mumsnet HQ whether they still ban people for holding beliefs which "are worthy of respect in a democratic society" - didn't the Maya ruling change everything?

I agree, I mean, do Mumsnet have many sponsors/advertisers left?

Agreed

Yes, please do !

🙄
You would just love it if that were true, wouldn't you?

Agreed.

Who runs MN, men and or handmaid's?

Certainly not women who stand up for women's rights....perhaps its about the money?

I got confused I saw this was started in 2018, can't believe she is still banned, please bring her back.

The corruption of language that TRA's are able to enforce is disastrous for society in general and women in particular.

MNHQ, please allow women to use plain, honest language.

Agreed

Agreed and Mumsnet should also apologize for Posie did nothing wrong.

MNHQ, please allow women to use plain, honest language.

As long as its not saying anything against Posie, right monitors?

I quite like that all the monitors contribute to the views and thus MN's continued income.
