@JustineMumsnet please consider reinstating LangCleg after a temporary suspension. It would help so many of us. Mumsnetters please sign!

@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. I lurk but rarely comment. Lang's posts are fantastic. Like a PP said, I too read them and learn so much from her.

quixote here, signing.

I don't know what the offending post was, but I've often noticed comments and posts by LangCleg. None of them struck me as rude or bizarre. Could Mumsnet please not join the crowds banning wrongthink?

Signed, but seriously, MN is not going to reverse on this. They've dug their heels in and we mere plebs cannot hope to budge them. Get your adblockers going and carry on talking about uncomfortable truths both online and off. And to all the lurkers/occasional posters: speak up. Plenty of women on here feel that they can't speak with the eloquence of the banned regulars, but I promise you that your input counts and that practice will hone your skills. Don't be afraid.

Hell, connect with those banned users on Spinster and elsewhere. Spread the message.

You have a hell of a lot more power than you think you do.

I would like Lang's ban to be lifted, so, Signed.

I think MNHQ should be proud of posters like Lang.
