I have posted this before. When I spoke out in support of another GN member to whom jings was very rude she was very nasty to me. It is a long time ago, water under the bridge as far as I am concerned. She has "done her time" and if she wants to come back, she should. We can only judge as we find. She will fit in well now, we have lots of outspoken members. Jings is mild to some.
I'm really glad all has been explained. I'd more or less sussed Notme, missed Jalima (glad she's not changing names, I have problems with names), but you Lemongrove have had me thinking. You know, the way you meet someone in the street who you recognise and know - but can't place? So pleased all is now clear.
Maybe I'm strange but I never wonder where posters are or if they are someone else with a new name. I just take them at face value. It's all bit complicated and involved for me.
I don't mind TriciaF entirely up to you. Sometimes it's nothing to do with the name, some people mix me and durhamjen up, but that's to do with political allegiance. I don't think it matters. Probably just as well they've introduced the colour thing for your own postings that way at least I know what I have said
Well as usual a genuine thread of birthday greetings for the people who wanted to wish Jingle a Happy Birthday has been ambushed by the few who still have the ability to ruin a thread by their childish behaviour.
It was clear by the title what the thread was about so why open it, just scroll past
Sorry everyone I hadn't been back to check the thread, I have had a lot going on at home, but never in a hundred years did I imagine that all hell would break out.
WARNING
Just to let you know next September the 28th there will be a thread posted Jingle for anyone who would like to pass birthday wishes on to her!!!!
Only read this last page, life is too short.........
BBbevan people change their names for a variety of reasons but I think the main one is when one wants to post without being identified by family or others. The same reason some choose not to have a profile. It is not that they have anything to hide but that there may be people in their lives who stalk them and they prefer not be identified.
Thank you Nonnie I never for a moment thought it might be something they wanted to hide. My user name is so not near my own that it would be difficult I think to identify me from that alone.
