Open letter to all Gners

I have been a member and regular contributor to GN since its inception, many of you will know me as Pompa.

I have always tried to be helpful to those that need it where my skills are appropriate. I have always been compassionate to those in trouble and always tried to inject a little humour into my posts.

I am not racist, feminist or any other form of ist (perhaps a bit of a pessimist now)

In all the years I have been here I have not knowingly been reported.

But I have now been reported ( I guess for racism because of my humorous thread in the Gardening forum regarding immigrant Spanish slugs.

GN is no longer the great site it used to be, it has become very unpleasant on many threads, dominated by a few posters.

Many GNers are now afraid to post for fear of verbal retribution.

Humour that is in the least edgy is condemned by a few.

Please, please will those Gners that want GN to become the fun site that it was again please speak up.

I am now leaving GN, I'm sure that there are those that are now cheering as they have won, but to the rest of my friends,
Love
Pompa

I've had other things to do for a couple of days, believe it or not, and have just seen this thread.
Really glad I missed it, and the Slug one also.
confused and definitely not keeping up.

I'm sorry you find my post(s) confusing Gracesgran - I cannot explain them any further and am also sorry you are ascribing moptives to me that are non-existent.

When I mentioned mass extinction it was in response to the previous mention of it, not to anything else.

There were two separate parts to my last post. Something else that wasn't clear, it seems. Ah well, one can but try.

Gand, I think that would be a good idea. If you happen to have any Baileys in your drinks cupboard, sling one this way, would you?

I have a feeling I shall have to turn the major parts of the article into a poem. Perhaps then the muse will strike and I will understand how it related to JA's post. I bet you can't wait folks smile. Just think, with a poem we could remember the relevant bits for ever and ever grin

I believe you GandTea and I have a feeling I will have to apologise when the poem isn't ready. Perhaps I should do an OAP philosophy degree just so I can keep everyone in the picture ... mmmwink

If I had a £ for every time jings was leaving I would be sunning myself the Carribean. Don't take that seriously ?
