Open letter to all Gners

I wish someone would send me the same pm Glass. I am now wondering if the 'new' posters I have seen are actually old ones with new names.

I usually ask Ana. (fount of all info) Ana expect a PM.

Tee hee! I know about as much as granjura - I certainly didn't know GandTea was pompa!

Might know nag would be in the kno9w

Aw, kitty as if I would agree with that. What I did agree with was when you said "And some members should be a lot less flipping judgmental."

Regarding == "Apparently many, including GrandTea, do not respect the Mods wishes but that is not the same as them not saying it."

May I just clarify what I said earlier. GNHQ wished me to agree to them changing the thread name (as said, I could not make that change, only GNHQ could). I was not happy with that request and a number of emails ensued discussing the options. Eventually (I suspect as a result of the reaction from other GNers) they decided to leave it alone. Had they insisted, I would have reluctantly conceded to their wishes, but they discussed it and did not insist. I do respect the Mods, but will discuss their wishes with them.

It is good to hear that common sense prevailed and that you stood your ground GT and that the mods took into consideration the strong and sensible views expressed by the large majority of GNetters.

I wonder whether the original 'reporter' has been arguing their case with GNHQ as well...or have they just slinked back to wherever they came from? No matter - democracy (GN-style) rules!

Should that be 'slunk'?

When I saw the title of the thread GandTea, I thought it must be about Spanish Bluebells, I don't know if any other posters have already said this, if so apologies for repeating. I read the first 3 pages this morning, just popped in to update and can't face reading another 6 - no offence meant

Yes,ntgerecwerecatvkeastvtwo orcthree if us that thought that Iam

What the........???????

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.)

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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