Could anyone help here - some long serving and very interesting members seem to have just vanished. How did that happen. DJ, GGMK2 and WW. Where? and Why?

I may be another one to vanish or be removed along with the 3 who have already gone. this is because of a couple of comments I posted in reference to those who have left. Apparently I am on borrowed time. I can’t say for sure but I don’t believe my input has been that offensive ,prolific or of much importance. How wrong one can be ?

Will that promote you to “prominent”*Bridgeit*? wink

Four have taken a break

Who says you're on borrowed time, Bridgeit

Do GNHQ send out warnings before the final chop?

Bridgeit Tue 17-Apr-18 18:56:02

More or less yes Merlotgran. I have received a warning

Bridgeit Tue 17-Apr-18 18:58:36

Prominent would be good. But I think I have earned the label of insubordination Ohhps ?

Jane10 Tue 17-Apr-18 19:20:24

Blimey!

It's not insubordination Bridgeit it's just being offensive. There is a difference.

Don’t worry Bridgeit... you’re still here! ?

Bridgeit Tue 17-Apr-18 19:55:42

Thanks Lemongrove, ?

Goodness Bridgeit confused

ffinnochio Tue 17-Apr-18 22:15:15

I really dislike the gagging approach by GNHQ.

I hope you’ll stick around Bridgeit

Bridgeit Tue 17-Apr-18 22:31:34

Ahh thank you ffinnochio. I do feel a little let down by GN, but I guess it’s a business,& the ones who aren’t posting at the moment we’re knowledgeable & prolific. But it is fundamentally supposed to be an opinions Forum not a private club.

janeainsworth Tue 17-Apr-18 22:45:18

I’ve never seen any posts by you that could be described as offensive, Bridgeit hmm

Bridgeit Tue 17-Apr-18 22:47:43

I have taken a photo of the conversation but haven’t mastered the art of attaching them yet. I will persevere.?

Bridgeit Tue 17-Apr-18 22:48:17

Ohh and thank you .

merlotgran Tue 17-Apr-18 23:01:48

The feeling that gransnet is becoming a private club could well be the reason members like Ana and Anya have left.

I joined Mumsnet when my first DGC was expected, so must have been 12 years ago. I learned lots about the modern ways of parenting and particularly liked a somewhat subversive, witty, strongly feminist group of posters, who dominated some of the threads.

Eventually this group got fed up with constant attacks from other members - they were accused of being a clique, which I suppose they were, as it was obvious that they talked to each other privately by PM. Suddenly they disappeared from Mumsnet and set up a private group on Facebook. Various other Mumsnetters were invited to join their new group - some did and some did not.

I was not asked and was very disappointed sad

Also one other sentence of mine later on was : influential or pedantic & overly opinionated..? Considering their own opinions to be a more accurate assessment of a given subject/topic.

Oh I don’t know Granny23, I think Groucho Marx had it about right

Sorry to read that Granny23, it’s not very nice is it, one reason why I am not on other sites ,I guess the best way of communication is when we can see the other person & read each other’s body language as well. best wishes

Can't you give it a rest. Catty or what?

Bridgeit Tue 17-Apr-18 23:47:42

Love it MawBroon ?
