@JustineMumsnet

We the undersigned would like to ask you to consider reinstating LangCleg after a temporary suspension, as you have done with others.

Or perhaps, consider reinstating her for a three-month trial period and then reviewing.

We know you will have realised, from the two other LangCleg threads, how much her wisdom and constant voice in support of robust safeguarding is welcomed by so many on this board. It is truly a great loss to us, and to the depth of discussion about such important matters.

We hope Justine that you might do two things:

  • Review what actually happened with LangCleg and decide whether it really was so dire that she deserves permanent expulsion, or whether perhaps there was an element of misunderstanding on your moderators' part (which Michaeel's post indicates may have happened) and, that perhaps she was being held to an inappropriately high standard compared to others
  • Review the process, so that strong voices on here are able to continue to be heard for the benefit of all Mumsnet users

Or perhaps do neither of those things, and just reinstate her because you recognise how important your other Mumsnet users find her.... I guess the equivalent of a Royal Pardon,

Please hear our voice.

And everyone on here, please do sign if you want LangCleg back - just that, a signature with any discussion continuing on the LangCleg 2 thread. A signature to say you want her back and hope that @JustineMumsnet will consider this.

Thank you - both my fellow mums netters and Justine

Signed (although I suspect in vain, given Justine’s latest response on the Lang Cleg 2 thread).

Adding my voice. I've been on mn under various names for over 10 years. In the past few years, Feminism Chat had been my gateway onto the site each day. I rarely post as often many other mnetters have already (and more eloquently) expressed the same opinion. Lang has been instrumental in increasing my understanding and awareness of various issues, and I believe mn will be the poorer without Lang's voice.

A plea from me please. Selfishly, I've serious safeguarding worries with a young female teen in my life and Lang's posts have been extraordinarily helpful to me in developing factual, coherent letters to those involved. This is why I've spent the last 7 months on the FWR boards, being educated.
I've known her to be blunt and exasperated - but in comparison to the vitriol I've seen on other boards from others about trivial things - she has been an examplar of politeness!

Dedicated lurker here. LangCleg's contributions have been consistently polite and well thought out. Her barring from this forum is outrageous.
