@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. Her voice is wise and extremely important. (I dunno why she was banned?)

This is such ridiculous ban. I've been waiting for mumsnet to see sense and am still waiting.

I confess I was shocked to hear today that the MN admin team does not consider themselves to have any safeguarding responsibility with regard to suicide discussions on threads so long as false information is refuted by content provider.
How can that be?

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 29/02/2020 05:57

What I don't think we should ever stop talking about is how a poster who was knowledgeable about safeguarding was targeted and constantly reported.

Indeed, and the fact that some people still so desperately want us not to talk about that is exactly why I'm not going to stop talking about it. They have very much underestimated how important this issue is to many women.

Her posts are still up there for anyone to read - she didn't suffer fools gladly but she was civil and kept mostly to the rules, because she wanted to keep talking. Who wanted to stop her and why? That's the real story for me.

I have been insanely busy and completely missed whatever happened to Lang

I do not know her at all personally but found her posts intelligent, polite, considered and thoughtful.

In these insane days where thinking is prohibited we need all the good women capable of retaining the capacity to think and who have the courage to speak out.

I would respectfully support the calls to reinstate Lang
