I haven’t seen NellG on here for some time, now I think of it.

FannyCornforth Sat 03-Jul-21 20:37:05

NellG was banned

Blossoming Sat 03-Jul-21 20:58:24

Wow! I miss so many of these happenings. Better keep quiet then grin

Callistemon Sat 03-Jul-21 21:22:23

Callistemon Sat 03-Jul-21 21:23:25

Nell G wasn’t NellieMoser was she? I haven’t seen her for ages.

Callistemon Sat 03-Jul-21 21:37:03

I don't think so

FannyCornforth

NellG was banned

How do you know FannyCornforth? I'm genuinely perplexed as to how you get to know these things about what's gone on between a poster and GNHQ. confused

Chewbacca NellG and I used to pm each other quite a bit.

Is that really so surprising?
Not everyone feels as negatively towards me as you seem to!

Nell told me that she was on a final warning and why.
It's not really that shocking as she was very combative on some threads, and towards one contributor in particular. She wasn't that bothered about being banned.
It would not surprise me if she came back under another name though.

Is that okay now?

FannyCornforth Sun 04-Jul-21 05:42:51

Oh, and I did try to persuade Nell to avoid any potential dangerous situations, to no avail

FannyCornforth Sun 04-Jul-21 06:14:25

Chewbacca
Also, can you please stop posting things which might make others suspicious of me?
I'm finding it genuinely a bit upsetting now.
I'm very candid about myself on GN and I've certainly got nothing to hide.

Her online behaviour was completely bizarre.

FannyCornforth Sun 04-Jul-21 09:45:35

It certainly was Galaxy

I really miss EV and her daily posts.

It's funny how invested we can become in another poster's life - I cannot help wondering how her cats are getting on particularly the old stray Tom who lived in a kennel in her garden.

I live in Tasmania and often find myself thinking about a woman on the other side of the earth!

Really hope she is alright and can post again soon,

Bellanonna Mon 05-Jul-21 08:53:09

I wrote to GNHQ to see whether EV could be *unbanned”.

Charleygirl5 Mon 05-Jul-21 09:00:43

A lovely idea Bellanonna but some folk appear to have hearts of stone.

Calendargirl Mon 05-Jul-21 09:01:27

How do you get to be ‘unbanned’?

Is it like a prison ‘life’ sentence, time reduced for good behaviour?

dogsmother Mon 05-Jul-21 09:26:51

I wonder how many regular posters there actually are here on GN.
A daily dozen, a weekly 3 dozen and then perhaps monthly up to a hundred different opinions put forward on matters of the day?

Ginny42 Mon 05-Jul-21 09:31:38

I do hope EV can return to GN. She needs to hear from us as much we would love to hear from her. We teach our children to try to understand the other person's point of view and to forgive others when they annoy or irritate us. Why would we hold a grudge for ever?

Charleygirl5 Mon 05-Jul-21 09:33:08

Calendargirl by appealing to the better nature of GNHQ hence few come back into the fold.

Greeneyedgirl Mon 05-Jul-21 09:38:50

I’m perplexed how posters apparently become so intimate with one another, unless they have local meets that is. I can hardly remember individual posters………apart from FannyCornforth who has been a real ray of light since she joined. Keep it up Fanny. I suppose having a very distinctive name helps too.

Alegrias1 Mon 05-Jul-21 09:40:31

People getting banned aren't suffering from a grudge. They've broken the rules of a public internet forum enough times, even when warned about it, that they can't be allowed to keep posting.

GN isn't a human right.

Galaxy Mon 05-Jul-21 09:41:57

I think there was a thread to count posters at one stage dogsmother, but I cant remember the result, hundreds maybe? It might have been fanny who started that thread.

Marydoll Mon 05-Jul-21 09:42:43

Greeneyedgirl, you tend to meet people on the same threads and then get to know them gradually.
I have made some very good friends, both through meet ups and then eventually by PMs.

A few have my email address, (I trust them implicitly), just in case anything happens to me.

Yammy Mon 05-Jul-21 09:54:14

I'm about 6 months new to Gransnet.
I can be opinionated but have enjoyed the banter, it was suggested to me by a friend who knew I was seeing no one but DH.
You give and you take, I have had to apologise to people and had some lovely private replies.
Go ahead say what you think and accept what is said back answer back if you feel like it.
We don't all agree with each other in the real world when we know each other it takes a long while to build a friendship where you can say what you like. I have one and some others that I would not be so open to.
Gransnet is anonymous so say what you really feel. It does help with frustrations and I think I am a bit more pleasant around the house.
