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)

Yes the boiled water for smooshing is essential.
Kittens what if the espresso identifies as a banana? Something to ponder 🤔 .

If Joss is not telling fibs they're also happy to hand over one of their longtime users as a sacrifice in order to get an obsessive bully to leave them alone. Which is a promise that person won't keep, and anyone who thinks they will is a fool.

Edited to fix the PP’s typo. I hope this isn’t true and that JP’s tweet is just them showing off. The idea that moderators here are liaising with the TRAs and monitoring posters together is at the least discombobulating and at worst somewhat sinister. @MNHQ, can you please clarify this?

I still do not know what weetbix is and if I did I do not think I could make myself eat it even for LangCleg.

It's sort of like rusks but not necessarily meant for babies. Normal people eat it with cold milk and sugar.

OccasionalKite · 22/01/2020 01:39

I genuinely do want to know what is Mumsnet's latest policy regarding the safeguarding of children, given that it bans women who ask perceptive questions about the safeguarding of children.

And this, this is why we are the mess we're in.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 22/01/2020 01:46

Or for Americans, shredded wheat cereal, but big? It's fine until someone decides to soak it in hot milk and banana mush!

(We still love you, Lang.)

BitOfFun · 22/01/2020 01:48

Then I Am Weetabix too. I'm very disappointed. Lang brings something special and important to mumsnet, and I want her back.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 22/01/2020 01:52

I mean, does HQ think it's like a volcano? And if you throw someone in then it won't erupt on you for a while? Cause that's not how it works - sacrificing users doesn't quell the rage, it just feeds it.

This is of course if Joss isn't fibbing.

TheBewildernessisWeetabix · 22/01/2020 01:55

I am Weetabix!
I'd rather be it than eat it.

Because if you create a sacred caste of any group and silence anyone asking questions about individuals on behalf of the sacred caste, abusers will see, infiltrate, and groom and exploit children. That''s how."

R0

Are you back?!

Is that really you?!

Aww now I'm happy sad pissed off

TheBewildernessisWeetabix · 22/01/2020 02:09

So happy to see you here ROwantrees.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 22/01/2020 02:09

We've summoned Ro! Which means at least she hasn't been banned yet.

DuMondeB · 22/01/2020 02:11

I’m liking the return of R0 but I’m not liking the absence of a Lang.

Lang has said time and time again that her priority is safeguarding children. This is really bad optics for MUMSNET of all places.

WTAF.

I know right!??!❤️

Catsfriend · 22/01/2020 02:27

Delurking to voice my disappointment about the banning of LangCleg by @mnhq.
I have always appreciated her posts and points of view.

Also Weetabix is everything. Don’t @ me.

NotBadConsidering · 22/01/2020 02:30

Lang must have sent this just before she turned to dust

R0wantrees · 22/01/2020 02:40

Yes its me Smile

Extraordinary timing if the monitors have finally succeeded in silencing MN LangCleg on the 70th anniversary of George Orwell's death. I was listening to R4's 'Orwell in Five Words' earlier & can recommend it. Today's episode was 'Truth'
