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.

They can't ban you or this thread until we solve the mystery, liveliest thing on GN atm.

Jalima, only on the Pedants' Corner thread...have I just made that up? I know it's something like that!

I'm sure that BOMB is meant as a clue, but I'm afraid my brain cells must have deteriorated since you've been banned, Stilletc...

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 21:01:44

we don't have anywhere else to go on the net.
I am sure there must be somewhere

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 21:02:28

I certainly agree Wobbly! grin

Anya Fri 28-Oct-16 21:02:33

Well thank you STTT , and though that narrows it down, we need more clues.

DaphneBroon Fri 28-Oct-16 21:03:51

I am first of all completely at a loss why you have decided to stick the knife into me
As I don't know who you are, I am not aware of having crossed swords with you, but you clearly have made your mind up to launch a totally cowardly attack on someone you know NOTHING about and calling me a total shit
Cowardly? Yes, because you are hiding behind anonymity. You have no idea who I am, what my life involves or indeed what effect your cruel words might have. Or perhaps you enjoy the sense of power of launching an attack with no fear of retaliation.
I will not sink to that level, I would be ashamed to use that word of any other granny , indeed any other human being.
What an example to set to those innocent little grandchildren we live ve and cherish.
Enjoy your vitriol. I would like to say I CBA, but no one likes abuse and I would be lying if I said I am not hurt by your ill temper.

DB, as was said in West side Story, "play it cool", none of us are taking these comments seriously, apart from being clues.

I am very surprised at wb wanting this very unpleasant, indeed horrid, thread to continue

DaphneBroon Fri 28-Oct-16 21:11:01

"Total shit" means "total shit", WB however you look at it.

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 21:11:10

Don't be hurt Daphne, as someone said to me on another thread (or words to that effect), it says more about the poster than whoever they are addressing.

Anya Fri 28-Oct-16 21:11:18

Calm down dear!

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 21:11:47

whomsoever?

Ana?

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 21:12:56

I mean Ana being the pedant may know the correct word wink

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

DaphneBroon Fri 28-Oct-16 21:14:55

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

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 21:15:16

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.

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

So do we all I hope.

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

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

wot Fri 28-Oct-16 23:05:52

Is it the fishloving, well endowed lady??

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.

Curious and curiouser

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
