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.

No way do I want to create a mystery, but late on a Friday night does give us a chance to remember and question.. ?

I am not Jings, but she was so inventive, twisted and funny that I adored her. Then GN reporters wanted it their way.. and they got it.

Lets tell the pearl brigade that we have opinions and should be allowed to voice them.

Who has been banned recently other than Jing ? -- or is this a Troll out to drive us nuts.

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 19:44:57

Neither would jingl call us 'guys' grin

merlotgran Fri 28-Oct-16 19:43:06

jingl wouldn't call herself jings for a start.

I have a small hunch.

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 19:41:13

OK, Jings might keep mm, but she wouldn't deny her identity, so who is it she/he ?? I love a mystery. Must be someone that knew me before WB and knew Merlot, Jings etc.

Wish they would correct my spelling errors , suppose it would take too long

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 19:37:21

No, but a bit of intrigue lives things up. grin

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 19:37:18

One clue. Ana, Merlot and Pomps, you guys are great. Xx I am not Jings .

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 19:36:48

(that should have been 'about' not 'by'!)

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 19:35:39

Wobbly, I just meant that not all of us are as convinced as you are by STTT's former identity smile

merlotgran Fri 28-Oct-16 19:33:17

hmm

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 19:27:57

Ana ????

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 19:25:48

Speak for yourself Wobblybits...

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 19:23:49

The username is a clue to my mind, hey but what a mouthful, I'm not typing that every time smile.

STTT, we know who you are ... probably grin

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

How do you know few get banned Pomps? GN just quietly do it. Don't trouble yourself Pomps, if you want to lull yourself to sleep look at "unresolved mysteries" on reddit.

The one thing I don't get is how people can make the kind of statements you did, without proof, and seeing the boredom in front of your eyes. A failing forum, with a lack of adverts.

Trust me, they do quietly delete and edit. I have never come across it before.

Swanny Fri 28-Oct-16 19:16:46

Wobblybits I think you may be right and I don't often say that to a man grin wine

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 19:12:49

Doesn't sound like the previous poster I think you mean, Wobbly.

Although I suppose you'd remember someone who called you pomps.

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 19:12:36

i hope you enjoy my "troll" merlot. Get your teeth into the most boring forum on the net. I am happy to give you guys something to get annoyed about.

Young grans have been trolled out of this forum but you.. Merlot are one of the good guys x.

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 19:09:23

Banning is not the same as editing. Very few ever get banned.

You appear to be new to GN, yet you called me pomps, are you therefore who I suspect you are, if so flowers

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 19:04:13

Pomps, I will be deleted soon, but they have surreptitiously banned many members. They just ban the IP address.

merlotgran Fri 28-Oct-16 19:02:56

Where on earth would they find the time?

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 18:59:41

Half term still ?

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 18:58:47

I have typed hundreds of posts and never had one edited. The onus of proof is on you.

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 18:58:18

Where is your evidence that they do, Stilltellingthetruth?

I've never come across any such accusation before on GN, nor have any of my posts been edited.

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 18:55:53

Oh yes they do. Where is your evidence that they don't?
