Mumsnet backtracks support for net filter

A minor point

Just wanted to point a distinction. Mumsnet HQ were the ones supporting this, Mumsnet members have (in the majority of cases) been against it from the start. Unfortunately their voices were ignored.

I was one of those people. And can safely say I've only seen two people arguing for it on the forums there, they do not in anyway represent the majority of MN users.

Have we met?

As AC has said, the majority of Mumsnet users do not agree with the filter. Which is why MNHQ had to back down.

I can see why it comes across that way, the normal chain of events is that a large group of users ask MNHQ to run a campaign and then the campaign happens. However this time, a large group of users said how stupid the plan was, and MNHQ ran a campaign without even running it by their users. It just suddenly made it onto the the campaigns page without even glancing at the campaigns forum within the site.

So for all of you saying how stupid MN users are about this filter, they are arguing on the same side as you!!
