We have a good idea of what we think it is - a networking site providing support, entertainment and information. But it would be really interesting and useful for us to know what the site represents to you, the ones who use it every day.

Thanks kitty and morethan, I have good days and some not so good days but even if I don't post I like to catch up with what is going on in GN world. Not sure about this thread though, started off normal enough grin

Anya Sat 29-Oct-16 09:25:01

Obviously someone who'd been banned from GN and had been upset by DB

I can think of one person who might fit that description and I haven't seen her on the site recently.

Judthepud2 Sat 29-Oct-16 09:22:00

That should have been Woops! ?

Judthepud2 Sat 29-Oct-16 09:21:23

Soop's! X posts sorry.

Anyway. On with Saturday.

Judthepud2 Sat 29-Oct-16 09:20:24

I think you might be right that the intruder has gone WB. But Laragransnet was the OP. This was just a mischievous gremlin trying to stir things up. Pity s/he had to be selective ?

Wobblybits Sat 29-Oct-16 09:13:47

LOL, I didn't mean the OP, Lara can stay, I meant the one who started the mystery.

Wobblybits Sat 29-Oct-16 09:04:29

What started as an intriguing and fun thread, turned sour, shame I love a mystery, But not at DB's expense.
At this moment I can let remarks like that wash over me, on another day they would have me suicidal.
I see several posts have been deleted and I suspect the OP may have gone.

I agree - unfair attack Daphne. Ignore her/ him.

NanaandGrampy Sat 29-Oct-16 08:55:36

wow .... I'm glad I was asleep.

What a thread.... and what rubbish !!

Sorry you seem to have attracted someone's vitriol Daphne - there's nowt queerer than folks.... it seems smile

What does Gransnet mean to me? — chat with friends and acquaintances. It's a place of contact from my hillside eyrie.

Wobblybits Sat 29-Oct-16 07:42:30

Wot, she/he denied the goldfish connection. I agree that this is not JBF.

P.s. NE and Scottish Grannies – You are still often in my thoughts – and I really miss our glorious meet-ups. I should love to do it again but can't afford the air fare.

absent Sat 29-Oct-16 04:51:07

WTF?

Btw GN means rather a lot less to me these days than it did in the past. That has surprised me because of the major transition in my life abroad which I expected would make my UK contacts more precious.

rubylady Sat 29-Oct-16 02:56:29

DB All will become clear, this person wants to be known or else would stay quiet or come clean in the first place. Please don't get upset, one bad apple and all that. We all still cherish you on here.

I don't think it is Jing neither, she told it straight.

WB The plot thickens. I'm like you, I can't remember what I did yesterday, never mind years ago, might have to do some detection work. Do we get a prize if we find out who it is? grin

Curious and curiouser

Judthepud2 Sat 29-Oct-16 00:15:15

? Wow! I'm used to these on Twitter but haven't come across one on GN before! How amusing! Not for you DB though. Sorry ? I'm not on long enough to guess who it is. Somebody with a major grievance, it seems. Doesn't sound like jbf at all IMO. She was amusing in a wry sort of way.

I haven't found GN to be cliquey, even though I am Irish....and don't possess pearls. ? And I have never had a post edited either.

Is it the fishloving, well endowed lady??

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 21:43:51

Looks like our invader has turned in for the night or been banned.

annsixty Fri 28-Oct-16 21:20:16

So do we all I hope.

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 21:19:21

Ann60, these comments are a deliberate wind up, don't rise to them.

I am a much calmer WB that Pompa used to be (most of the time) I refuse to be antagonised, I just want to find the identity of our invader.

I am calm, Anyabut still at a loss as to why I have been targetted.

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 21:14:22

I'm not really a pedant, Jalima - at least, not to that extent! I quite often get things wrong, but I prefer to get them right iyswim smile
