What are her qualifications for telling other people how to raise their

academic qualifications. A Television camera crew seems to be all the
qualification an "expert" needs these days. That or a white coat and
bad hand writing!


At least she hasn't bought herself a worthless PhD so she can call
herself "Doctor" like those fraudsters Gillian McKeith and Paul McKenna

It's not Gina's childcare methods that are the issue. Some people will
find them helpful, others won't, and there are likely to be strong
feelings on both sides. But that's irrelevent - what matters in this
case is that Gina is throwing a tantrum because some people have
insulted her. I would have thought she'd have the sense to realise
that, even if everything she writes makes absolute sense and always
works for every child, there will still be some people who will want
to abuse her for it. That goes with the territory of being a writer,
especially a writer who is prepared to present controversial views. If
she can't cope with that, then she's the one who should shut up, not
Mumsnet.

If someone appended a very critical comment on this site about La Ford
and her hissy-fit with Mumsnet, would she or her "suits" dare to
suggest that they could take on Google and take this site down for such
a trivial matter?

Could be very funny if they or she had the cheek to try!! I suspect
that Google could buy them all hundreds of times over and not even
notice.

So the answer is.... use sites like this one if you have any hopes of
free discussion, (not that Google is immune but its threshold of
concern will be very much higher).

C'mon ...... let free speech rule! Let's hear it for Mumsnet! (or
the blessed Gina).

Say what you think about this debate... for and against and both sides.

I counted 26 errors in that short piece - more if you include the so
called 'facts' you wrote. You can always tell a Fox 'News' viewer.

Gina Ford is a silly cow. She is in effect throwing a tantrum and
shedding tears... which seems to be precisely what she tells parents
to ignore... perhaps years of dealing with other people's babies
but having none herself have warped her psychologically so that she
adopts the behavioural mechanisms of a baby. Babies have these
mechanisms because they have no other way of expressing discomfort
or needs... in an adult woman it is another thing... she is quite
clearly unfit to be left alone with an infant let alone attempt genuine
parents how to look after their offspring.

Er... this is Usenet... it is *not* Google nor regulated, owned, or
whatever else by Google. Google simply has a feed into Usenet, the same
as thousands of servers world-wide.

Usenet is fairly free with regard speech. This will not stop
legal proceedings, although it is rather difficult to serve notice
on those posting from another jurisdiction. This is especially true of
speech which might attract criminal sanctions in one country but not in
the country from which the message originated [1].

[1] Although it might be wise for a person doing such things to avoid
visiting the country in which it is a criminal offence. Or even
neighbouring countries for that matter.

Thanks for warning us about Fox News' low standards. I shall take care to

Of course, as Google is US-based where they sensibly do not hold
intermediaries responsible for the views of third parties, it isn't a
question for them, but what about UK sites that offer usenet web access?


They would probably be open to action. In the mid/late 1990's someone
complained to Demon about postings to a newsgroup that they felt were
defamatory and wanted them removed from Demons' servers. They refused.
It ended up in court IIRC, the judge found that Demon were 'publishing'
the posts and thus would be liable if they were found to be defamatory.

Demon made an out of court settlement.

If you want the gory details Search for 'Demon Godfrey' - there are
plenty of details on the web.
