Open letter to all Gners

Love it GK!

?

With you there, gk.

I'd like a 'Like' button, too. Any chance, GNHQ?

GK has probably offended several different groups. Well done - taking personal offence (or often offence on behalf of others who themselves don't see any problem) when it was not deliberately intended is a luxury, and those who make a habit of it are just indulging their self-absorption. "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most sinned against of all?"

Wonder who you've offended with that GK?

nice one gk

grannyknot ?? spot on!

Haha! Love it, gknot

Where's our 'like' button?

Perhaps this could be a standard response ...

I'd be amazed if anyone thought you were trying to deceive them GandT/Pompa. Surely, that would mean that we're all being deceitful because we're using a GN id and not our real names (whether, or not, we change our username)

Glad you're still around, I wondered where Pomps had gone

Just pleased to know you're still around GT - as bags says no need to apologise, you had your reasons.

Good answer, roses. People change their username because, at the time of changing it, they have a reason to do so. Whether they wish to tell others what the reasons are is up to them.

A reason might well be to 'deceive' in the sense of to hide. Reasons for hiding/deceiving are not all bad reasons so the actions of anyone who changed their username in order to 'hide' (for reasons known to themselves) should not be automatically regarded as deceptive in a negative sense.

This is a sincere open apology to anyone that feels I deceived them by re-joining GN with a new name. It was not my intention to deceive and never said anything that was miss-leading. My new persona was exactly that, a new one. I did however keep personal information about myself very limited, but never untrue.

In some ways i would prefer to remain anonymous, but I find it impossible to say what I want without being more open, eg, being male etc. Jokes about bald ladies are NOT funny.

I had no idea that Pompa was GandTea and haven't even read any thread about any snails. I am still under the same name I have always been although there is another ruby but there's only one rubylady!

The title of your post intrigued me...and I laughed so much when I read your post. Brilliant...keep them coming, we need your sense of humour.

White falling down juice Anya but only one glass ( a large one though.)?

People change names for all sorts of reasons, maybe a family member knows who they are, or they leave the forum and then come back at a later date.Who really is bothered by this?It's only the business of the poster.
I have never been anyone else, just for the record. ( gives a thatbags shrug.)

Anya - there are a few of you with names beginning with A - I sometimes get confused.
eg Ana Anya Alea, and I think there's someone called Alima? Plus all those starting with Ann....
I know I'm sometimes confused with Trisha, and I think there's another Tricia followed by a number.

Blinko I could have written your post myself. And why do people Change their names?. Bit baffled by that also

Roses

I think GN is a wonderful site, full of wisdom, irreverence, good ole common sense and much kindness. Who are all these back stabbers and snakes in the grass? I can't believe people actually want to spoil the whole thing by snitching and backbiting.

Plus I'm baffled as to why/how lots of people seem to know who lots of others are.... How does that work? Perhaps I'm best left in ignorance - which is bliss, as we know.

I'm always getting it in the neck from various posters even when I haven't been on a thread. I sort of think 'WTF?' and then I realise they've got me muddled up with other posters, again.

it more often happens later in the evening when they've possibly been at the too.

You been at the red, falling-down juice again roses

Try again.....yes, there were at least two or three of us that thought that Iam
