Anyone who has noticed that she hasn't posted for a while might not be surprised to learn that she's unable to receive PMs.

We all know what that means.

I suspect the last few posts will prove that there is a clique! grin

Just more evidence of it kittylester and Jane10.

Logging off for real this time. Toodle pip.^

If I remember correctly, it was Ana that granjura was talking about.

Trisher You were at one of the meet-ups in Edinburgh, so if there really IS a clique, you must be in it already.

No, it does not work like that.
She is not in it.

I don't belong to any cliques. I do enjoy friendships. It would only be others that define such friendships as cliques.

Elegran Mon 16-Jan-17 13:48:30

To those who believe it already, yes. grin

Oh well as long as I'm in it that's OK - Thanks Elegran.
I've never been in a clique before, is it like the Secret Seven? and do we have a secret knock/hand signal/password?
Thanks for the balanced posts, sometimes things get a bit surreal.

Wise words, Anya

POGS Mon 16-Jan-17 13:20:54

I have tried to keep out of this argument but I can't help remember Granjura posted this.

All I can say before logging off for a very looong time-

granjura Tue 15-Nov-16 10:57:14

Not for the first time nor probably the last will Granjura be posting but it will be up to her surely.

Iam64 Mon 16-Jan-17 12:57:37

Yes well said Anya.
Am I the only one who felt deva vu (again) when reading the list of misdemeanours she attributes to thatbags. gathering information about posters ....

DaphneBroon Mon 16-Jan-17 12:48:51

Sorry Jane10 I should have gone to Specsavers missed your grin

blush

Galen Mon 16-Jan-17 12:48:48

Well said!
And I liked jing even if I had the odd spat with her

ffinnochio Mon 16-Jan-17 12:26:57

Good posts Anya and Elegran.

harrigran Mon 16-Jan-17 12:20:08

Well said Anya.

kittylester Mon 16-Jan-17 12:03:30

That's a really good post Anya!

Jane10 Mon 16-Jan-17 11:57:44

Anya says it all.

Elegran Mon 16-Jan-17 11:54:26

The ability to see yourself objectively and a sense of humour to laugh at the foibles of yourself and others, and deflect feelings of being got at, are also useful on a site where you are chatting with many different types of people.

Anya Mon 16-Jan-17 11:49:41

Seriously though Ankers any clannish tendencies you might think exist on GN is probably because many of us have been around for so long that we sort of feel we know each other, even if we haven't met (yet).

There are friendship groups, there are people we feel we understand, some we don't 'get', some who rub us up the wrong way. There are those we agree with on one thread, and totally disagree with on another. Wild accusations, or unfairness, may well bring someone out to defend another. This isn't a clique.

You obviously enjoy (need?) the discussions and interaction that an Internet forum offers or you wouldn't keep coming back for more. So perhaps if you tried to ignore those who seek to provoke you and think twice about what you post, you will find things easier.

i ought to take my own advice more!

Elegran Mon 16-Jan-17 11:49:14

Trisher You were at one of the meet-ups in Edinburgh, so if there really IS a clique, you must be in it already. Glassortwo has been present at several, and is on ankers' little list too, so what does that say about HER? though I don't know how she finds the time.

Elegran Mon 16-Jan-17 11:45:55

Wait and see, Jane grin. (starts on secret agenda for meeting with anya - hmmm, who to pick on?)
NOTE TO ANYONE WHO THINKS I MEAN IT - THIS POST IS A JOKE!!!!!!

trisher Mon 16-Jan-17 11:42:42

If you're all playing the clique game again I demand to join in or I'm going to tell teacher.

Anya Mon 16-Jan-17 11:40:49

I wasn't included in Ankers clique Eiegran sad ... does this mean I can be in Your Gang now? ???

Jane10 Mon 16-Jan-17 11:40:33

Are you sure...hmm

Elegran Mon 16-Jan-17 11:39:50

Jane's was a joke.
