This will please many of you

Wow !! how unpleasent can a person be would you say the same things face to face with people you have met I think not,if you find the theme of a post not to your liking move on to another which is more your style don't just insult people as you have done here.I have been a GN member since day 1 and always found members to be knowledgeable in most topics and helpful when there has been a problem either on line or by PMs.

just thought its 'grousing' season

Like kitty said why feel the need to announce your departure ? It seems an excuse to insult individuals.

Envious

Shanna.your opinion is as valuable as the next person.Don't let the bullies win,remember insecurity is usually behind bullying,we are not all like that.
But if you go, I wish you well,but I think you'll find all on line forums are the same,i.e. Bullies and em(shall we say unstable] Most of us are just us,good people.

The phrase "Snowflake Generation" is a comment on the state of our education system and our social mores. It's not a comment on individual people, so it's not an insult.

Shanma, from the first you were not nice!. I have come late to this thread, and my first thought also was, why announce your departure? but a couple of others beat me to it. Did you want a host of " oh please don't go" ,

My youngest daughter is a member of Generation Snowflake. Anyone less like a snowflake does not exist on this planet. When one uses a term in a general sense one is using it as a broad brush. Individual people are made of fine brush strokes.

Check out the first twenty minutes or so of this interview if you're interested in understanding the term better.

I'm sorry you are so angry that you find it acceptable to insult people on a public forum. I hope you are happier wherever you move on to.

Elegran, by the way, is one of the kindest, most thoughtful and smart women I have had the pleasure to meet. Your comment about her speaks volumes about you.

Totally unnecessary to be so rude to named individuals. If you do not agree, either make your point or move on.

Your name has cropped up a lot recently (and you have not been pleasant each time) so I suspect that you have had a name change for some reason.

I am absolutely shocked and appalled by the OP! (And I'm not easily shocked)

Not only does it go againt the guidelines/rules of GN posts, it is incredibly rude. Personal attacks are just not acceptable.

I have only just come across this thread and am appalled that it has not been deleted due to the personal attacks. Shamna has named some of my favourite contributers to GN! I think this is the most angry I have felt since joining at the very beginning. Good riddance is all I can say!!

I wonder what on earth you expected from Gransnet. No, Shanma, please don't answer that.

I see from the 'new members' thread that Shanma joined on 25th September this year. No mention of being a reincarnation.

Flipping Heck Shanma If that is how you feel please take your rude opinions with you ASAP. I do not really know your user name but I don't think you are new here.
We will probably have a much happier place.

We might still have rows but I have never heard such unjustified personal attacks on so many individuals.

Please "Go at once" As the bard once wrote.

Shanma? - who is Shanma?

Whatever your opinion of specific posters there is no need for nastiness just leave without comment .

She has certainly made herself known in that short time.

Actually I think Shanma is to be pitied - she is obviously a very unhappy person who takes her own frustrations out on other people. I hope she finds some sort of contentment soon.

I would also like to add my support for Elegran, Anya and Daphne and anyone else she has offended though I doubt they will have really taken it personally.

And, why has some one with a trigger finger reported Shanma?

Before it's deleted
This ode I will write
To one who has chosen
To attack with such spite
It may not be Wordsworth, or Stratford's own bard
But fairness and charity aren't so hard
If she feels that on GN there's far too much bitchin
If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen
Nobody's perfect, as we all understand
But for those who have troubles
We're all here to hand
And comfort and kindness as you'd hope from a Grandma
Are still to be found, if you seek it shanma.

Very well written Daphne but I always love your poems.

shysal I have no evidence, I thought from the style of writing and nastiness that she was an incarnation. Anyway good riddance.

Well Shanma what an appalling display of uncontrolled behaviour! I'm actually embarrassed on your behalf.

I'm sure your nasty comments will have done absolutely nothing other than to reinforce others opinion of you.

I'm sure Shanma isn't bothering to read these posts. She probably deleted her membership straight after posting the OP at just after midnight.

But if it makes people feel better...

I've joined recently and had lots of lovely replies to my first thread. Forums need a group of members who post all the time otherwise members would stop reading.

Loved the poem Daphne !!

Just read the OP to Grampy who looked totally bemused

I echo ffinochio's and baubles's posts. I very much value Elegran's friendship. I've been in her company many times and find her very funny, wise and caring. However, being as wise as she is, I'm pretty sure Elegran wouldn't care less about what Shanma thought of her.

Im very upset that my name is not on the'favoured' list.
