GN is no more for me. I have no idea why I stuck it for so long. I am sure there are some nice people on here, but every time I log in I see mostly the same old clique, perhaps I should have typed Coven.

Anya and her " cronies" who have not enough brain to be able to articulate something without resorting to profanities.

Elegran who is so terribly bland and boring, yet obviously spends alot of time madly googling an answer to almost every question here to make herself look clever...didn't work Elegran.

DapneBroon " Poetry", is that what it was? I wouldn't give up the day job Daphne!

I do not mix with People like the above in my real life, why on earth would I want to do it here?

Bye Bye. Enjoy your little cyber nit picking. I suspect if I were to read the posts in some months time that not a thing will have changed. YAWN

I suspect that Daphne was pointing out how supportive that thread was and that there was no need for the berating we got.

If she wasn't, I would like to! smile

Shanma Wed 07-Dec-16 15:20:45

Which pathetic comment are you referring to Anya?. and still none of you have been able to show me a post where I have been nasty. I rest my case.

Oh and BYE to you too Jane10, you going somewhere?

DaphneBroon Wed 07-Dec-16 15:24:31

Ana I thought that thread was all about Scotticisms! grin
Such as "dinnae fash yersel" and "awa an bile yer heid " grin]

I see I would have to look back further to find the source of the perceived omissions.m

Ana Wed 07-Dec-16 15:32:12

Well yes, it didn't start of as a discussion of local dialects!

And Anya, I've just realised who used that phrase about 'a pathetic post' first! grin

mrsjones Wed 07-Dec-16 15:43:14

There seems to be a lot of very Angry Grans on here today. Peace and Love anyone?

jollyg Wed 07-Dec-16 15:47:54

Its the stress of the season! Pathetic from adults who should know better.

Katek Wed 07-Dec-16 16:00:18

Er......I think the opening post of this thread might meet the criteria Shanma. Talking of opening posts I believe the phrase was "GN is no more for me." If that is the case then I am puzzled as to why you are still posting??

Jalima Wed 07-Dec-16 16:01:05

and still none of you have been able to show me a post where I have been nasty. I rest my case.
Well, I will refrain from cutting and pasting from the other thread in case this turns into a thread about a thread but perhaps revisiting your posts on there and trying to read them objectively may give you a different view. In the main it was a thread full of what I would call repartee so I wondered why some of your posts were less than kind and appeared to be personal attacks.
The OP on here is not kind either. I'm surprised GN have allowed it to stay.

I'm sorry if you are having a tough time and perhaps having a sense of humour failure as a result, but I don't think that an OP such as the above will help you if you're feeling stressed, in fact it could make you feel worse.

Peace and goodwill.

Pathetic comment Nelliemoser. Been digging deep to scrape the barrel.*

Sorry Shanma I've been away. You asked us to show you a post you'd written, and that was it.

I omitted Nellie's name to save her embarrassment.

Anya Wed 07-Dec-16 16:14:09

To reiterate, that wasn't my post saying her comment was pathetic it was Shanma's post originally, as requested by her.

I think I'll go back to saying nothing except Q,E.D.

Anya Wed 07-Dec-16 16:15:33

PS that was by way of explanation to jollyg because I've never, and I would never, call anyone's post pathetic.

carerof123 Wed 07-Dec-16 17:05:33

how rude!!!

NanaandGrampy Wed 07-Dec-16 17:43:51

Not scratchy Rigby but it's hard to add tone in a written post .

Threads are like PR - done for the best intentions but uncontrollable ( and never more than here at GN) . smile

I agree with your post Elegran , you reap what you sow I believe .

wot Wed 07-Dec-16 18:08:00

Oh God .

wot Wed 07-Dec-16 18:08:39

Fed up, now.?

Wobblybits Wed 07-Dec-16 18:13:49

Did I get a mention? or am I tooooooooo boring ?

And I can't imagine why anyone would want to make a big issue of leaving and flounce off - answers on a postcard please addressed to pompa grin

wot Wed 07-Dec-16 18:15:48

It's gone beyond funny now. If anyone apologised to me I would have the Grace to at least think about accepting it. No wonder the world is full of wars.

Jalima Wed 07-Dec-16 18:15:56

Have a big G&T Wobblybits

For all those who are feeling left out roastchicken wine brew cupcake and flowers

Jalima Wed 07-Dec-16 18:16:41

I'm sorry wot
for whatever smile
cupcake

Ana Wed 07-Dec-16 18:19:21

WHo's apologised, wot? confused

Nelliemoser Wed 07-Dec-16 18:24:39

I think we are "feeding" a lot of these posters who seem unwilling to let this go. Is it now providing a little amusement?
It now seems to me that stirring up dissention on here might be part of a cunning plan of disruption. We seem to be trip trapping our way into total boredom.

wot Wed 07-Dec-16 18:26:22

I'm sure somebody had apologised to shanma, but the atmosphere is still frosty. I meant that when anyone apologises to me, I at least consider it. What else can be done or said?

wot Wed 07-Dec-16 18:26:52

Just want everything to be good on here.

Wobblybits Wed 07-Dec-16 18:28:55

Thanks, Jalima, I'll enjoy the G&T, actually it was GandTea that flounced off, I forgot about him.

Ana Wed 07-Dec-16 18:34:39

wot I will bite my tongue and not say who I think should be apologising, since it seems we're supposed to shut up now!
