LangCleg

[dragongirlx]

I am a long time lurker but infrequent poster here but I needed to bring this to everyone's attention.
I have found out that Mumsnet HQ have banned the fabulous LangCleg simply for repeatedly pointing out the repeated times coercive control has been used by the moderators to stop women talking.
I understand it started with a conversation when a post was deleted because she allegedly used a sweeping generalisation but they couldn't or wouldn't confirm the generalisation and when she challenged them they decided to ban her on the basis of previous comments.

So it now seems pointing out coercive control is now grounds for being banned, thus proving that coercive control is being used.

I for one would like @MumsnetHQ to provide an explanation here as this is really not on

(also taking bets on how long before the thread is deleted)

No! She was great poster. One of the best.

Ffs. Ridiculous decision.

You are kidding

Shes a voice of reason. Intelligent articulate and observant. She was not one for insults etc

This is extremely worrying

Very sorry to hear this. Do we know if it's a permanent ban or a temporary suspension?

Wtf????

Lang cut through the bullshit.

That's why she's banned.

Very sorry to hear this, I always enjoyed her posts.

What ?
Fucking hell

Bring her back Mumsnet ! This is unfair.

I am very saddened to read this. I felt confident to delurk and try contribute in a meaningful way because of her. I always felt she 'got it' and was able to write things in a very clear cut way.

It's going to become a badge of honour to be banned from MN feminism boards given that it seems to only be the good ones who get the ban...

No no no, not Lang! she is one of my all-time favourite posters

Her intelligence and clarity will be a huge loss to MN. Shame on whoever made that decision - MN WILL be the poorer without her.

Lang is one of the clearest posters on here and indefatigable in the cause of proper understanding of safeguarding.

MNHQ are shooting themselves in the foot if this is the route they want to go down.

No! Is it true? She is one of this forum's most fluent, passionate posters

That's not good.

Bloody hell.

Permaban or suspension?

Was this to do with the Jess Philips web chat thread?

Awful decision

That's a really poor decision by MNHQ

I can't believe it. She is such an articulate, informed advocate. Is it true? Lang, if you are here please say

That's a terrible loss to the forum and to the quality of discussion here. She was - is - interesting, articulate, incisive, clear-thinking and I would have said very measured.

Hopefully after a sit-down and a think they'll reconsider and reinstate her.

You mean the clearest and most straight talking have been targeted. It's only a matter of time before you end up getting the chop for none compliance.

Tinsel is bound to be one of the next on the hit list.

FFS

Christ they don't like it up 'em
