Happy birthday Jingle
Hope you have had a good day. flowerswine cupcake
Tried to PM you but wont accept message so dont know if you are having a break away from GN, I am not around much so out the loop.

Are you agreeing with me Ana, or not? To ban jings is wrong IMO.

Jalima Wed 28-Sept-16 23:13:14

Sod the petition. Let's start an uprising!

Happy Birthday, jingl, out there in the ether. Hope you see all these messages when you get back to us smile

Happy Birthday Jingle.

jingl will be able to read these posts even if she can't reply.

Up the revolution!

Jessielovestuna Wed 28-Sept-16 23:46:36

Why bother to save a forum that champions my little pony and other knitting patterns?

It has become so boring. I won't be uprising. If Jings gets back I will consider it. Until then, I am going back to f**king MN, where reality reigns with sweary words and people saying what they think without sneaky PM 's and snidy little digs at other posters smile.

Jessie ..... hello, hello hello, are you in fact the reincarnation of jingl grin if so, love the new name.

Jessielovestuna Wed 28-Sept-16 23:51:09

No roses I am not Jings. I could never fill her boots xx.

merlotgran Wed 28-Sept-16 23:56:07

roses. I can't remember when you first joined Gransnet but jingl had just been put in the slammer and we all thought she was YOU. grin

I have had a break from GN, lurked a bit for a few weeks and can't believe all the running to teacher to report someone that's going on. FFS GNHQ, we are all adults on here, capable of handling things ourselves angry We are not in school anymore!

If someone has upset you on a thread....tell them. Really no need to go running to GNHQ

Happy Birthday Jings wine

Agus Thu 29-Sept-16 00:16:29

I remember that too merlot. Mainly because Galen would refer to jings as rose on occasion

Jayh Thu 29-Sept-16 00:19:32

Can anyone say what Jingle did to get herself banned? Or are we not allowed to know?

Jessielovestuna Thu 29-Sept-16 00:22:03

Up here in Scotland we were taught never to clype. Too much sneaky reporting going on, and now look what has happened! Jings has been reported by ... whom?

Anyone?

Jessielovestuna Thu 29-Sept-16 00:33:01

Nobody? Thought not, Happy Birthday Jings.

ffinnochio Thu 29-Sept-16 02:18:32

Hey J , so saddened you've been banned.

High-five to you for your spirit!

Happy Birthday. x

I know I keep saying that it's rude of newcomers to try to change things as soon as they join, whether it be acronyms or how we interact, but to report someone like jings without taking the time to 'get' her is pathetic. And hq shouldn't be so trigger happy.

Alima Thu 29-Sept-16 06:39:49

Totally agree kitty.

NanKate Thu 29-Sept-16 06:51:09

BRING BACK JING ASAP HQ.

NfkDumpling Thu 29-Sept-16 07:02:53

I'm confused here Jessie. Are you saying that it's ok to use sweary words and say what you think but not to generically say that some people have been nasty and vindictive? I hope you didn't take my post to mean that Jingle had been nasty or vindictive, if so it read wrong and I'm very sorry, because she definitely isn't. (Nasty or vindictive that is.)

whitewave Thu 29-Sept-16 07:09:16

You know people like jing add colour to what sometimes is a bit of a twee site.

Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with twee if that is what floats your boat.

But that isn't the only possibility to a site such as this.
Between us we have a wealth of experience and common sense

jing makes valuable and thoughtful contributions to the more personal sometimes unhappy threads
She made much more robust and forceful contributions to other threads like what is happening in Syria, and given the opportunity would been in there all guns blazing.
Her language sometimes makes her unique. No problem with that - we aren't wilting violets. I found that if you shouted back at jing she would often apologise. Lovely lady with a quirky colourful character
This isn't the first time she has been banned and it is beginning to feel like stop and search.
Somehow HQ ought to be held account for their actions. At present they seem petty and vindictive.

Be happy to get an explanation.

In the meantime perhaps you would rely a Very Happy Belated Birthday to jing

Alima Thu 29-Sept-16 07:10:33

Could be wrong, often am, but who is Jlt?

NfkDumpling Thu 29-Sept-16 07:27:19

Well, she says she's not .....!

NfkDumpling Thu 29-Sept-16 07:32:31

So she can't be.

NfkDumpling Thu 29-Sept-16 07:35:06

Jessielovestuna is a an excellent name but quite long. Do you prefer to be shortened to Jlt or Jessie.
