Good home wanted or "Lost, stolen or strayed"

Totally unfair to blame Soutra for this surely. Must say I would have been really upset at getting such a message by 'mistake'. With hindsight we can all wonder whether posting on the open Forum was a good idea- but I am sure Soutra didn't mean to stir trouble. Had the person who made this gaffe got back to Soutra with an ooops and an apology- it would have indeed been much better, surely- and this thread would have never happened.

And for all to now wonder who the presumed 'bootlicker' was- is not pleasant either. A pity- but onwards and forwards.

Why would you have been really upset granjura?

Soutra wasn't. She sounded amused or even gleeful.

Pogs forgive me but the more this muddle is commented on and stirred up, the more controversy it is raising. It appears that those persons most involved might now wish to let go of this issue completely.

So maybe it is time to STOP as the OP has already requested.

Can't the squabbling on this thread just stop now please, there are more important things going on as new thread I just read demonstrates.

Nelliemoser

Well that's your opinion.

For information my post post was not withdrawn at posters request. I did not initiate contact with GNHQ . I thought GNHQ were going to blank out the name mentioined and leave the rest of the post in it's entirety.

Now it looks as though I regretted my post or it was being abusive in some way. Nether are in fact true. [not on!]

And don't think I am keeping this thread going , it was the case I looked at my e.mails before GN so that's how easy posting get's confusing when time lines cross over . I thought I was being asked re my post but it . had already been dealt with before I replied.

Soutra thank you for your PM last night. The meeting I refered to was with ex-work colleagues who are attending a conference in Birmingham the last week in February and wondered if I was around. It is not other GNetters meeting up and excluding you as I would have explained had to contacted me earlier. I'm sorry you thought that. I'm sorry too that a late night PM to another was inadvertently was sent to you. As you said sh*t happens.

Pogs The OP I referred to was Soutra's original not the one of yours of 11:36. I did not even see that one before you requested deletion.

Soutra requested an end to this debacle in her post of Feb-15 10:20:10.

I cannot for the life of me see why some posters just cannot let things go and walk calmly away from an insoluble disagreement without having to keep cranking up the tensions. Walking away from a heated discussion in situations like this is a positive resolution not an admission of defeat.

As you are doing now!

I just took an aversion to a GN being named by another poster.

Yes, slipped the name in before asking that a line be drawn under this thread!

That's how it seemed anyway.

I agree best to let it drop now though.

it was anya griping about an ex work colleague! We'll let her off that. Lol!

God anya! I hope you haven't been cringing too long!

But forever bootlickergate will spring into mind whenever I pass through Brum. Thank you merlot

I'm off..........feeling uncomfortable about this thread

I thought it finished long ago. Why come back to say "I'm off"?
