pompa You bring sunshine into our lives. We are very fond of you. Please don't desert us. We need all the good-hearted people we can get. There are far too many petty-party-poopers out there.

I have always enjoyed your posts Pompa/GandTea. Please don't let the bar stewards win. I haven't been a member of GN for very long and have enjoyed and benefitted from the postings, help and tips. Why do the selfish few want to spoil the enjoyment of the many?
Think again, I'm sure that you have the support of the many, many, 'normal' GN's . Could you not change your mind and stay with us, please?

Don't let the humourless bastards 'win' by leaving, pompa.

Edgy is exactly what the title is. Edginess is used to make people think. Well done you for using the device. Keep on using it. Gransnet needs it!

Don't go Pompa-we need someone like you who's prepared to be 'edgy' and prick some people's pomposity. I for one will miss your slightly irreverent posts. Please stay ?

So agree with you kitty I am incensed by this action as I have said on 2 other threads. What are people coming to when they can't take a humorous remark for what it is.

You must NOT leave. GN would be the poorer if you went.

dramatictessa Mon 06-Jun-16 17:52:34

GandTea, please don't leave. GNHQ, please apologise. I am all for political correctness when being the opposite causes offence, but the slug thread was funny, and if GandTea was Paul Merton saying this on Have I Got News For You, everyone would be laughing.

Don't let them win pompa. If you go it will be one less of 'us' left and we need to stick together. sunshine

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
