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.

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

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

whomsoever?

Ana?

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

Calm down dear!

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.

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

annsixty Fri 28-Oct-16 21:10:59

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

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 21:08:42

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 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.

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

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

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

I certainly agree Wobbly! grin

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 21:01:04

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...

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 20:59:14

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

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 20:53:46

No, you are cool Ana. I agree with you most of the time. ..waiting for the BOMB here grin.

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 20:52:49

Old, Ana is not old surely??

ps are you pedantic Ana?

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 20:51:12

But you'd already said I was one of the 'good guys' Stilletc..

Are you now retracting that and demoting me to just an old pedant? sad

You are certainly trying hard enough, is this a sort of Internet "chicken? " [chicken]

Anya, you came later in the dialogue so I am sorry I mixed you up with Ana.I expected to be banned again. I have always enjoyed your contributions x.

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 20:46:26

merlotgran Fri 28-Oct-16 20:43:46

I don't think this is quite what Lara had in mind when she started this thread grin

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 20:43:21
