EllanVannin and Anniebach

It certainly is FGT2
I often joke that the entire Guardian readership is on Gransnet!

Yes Gillybob is another one I miss. Her husband was seriously ill, around the end of 2019 if my memory serves me right. I believe she and her husband had their own engineering business in the north east somewhere.

She also used to talk about her grandchildren too, then really suddenly she stopped posting.
I don’t remember her ever being remotely controversial.

Hi Anniebach 👋. Sorry about your arthritis. I used to enjoy our discussions about RF..
I miss FannyCornforth.

I’ve poster this before but it’s worth saying again.
If you communicate with another member exchange email addresses.
When you are banned it’s instant, no ifs or buts.

Another one whose posts I miss is Gabriella. She was so entertaining and sounded a kind hearted person too with the snacks and drinks she handed out to delivery drivers!
She lived near Guildford I think.

Some of her comments were probably deemed controversial by some, but that’s good surely?
Who wants a predominantly Left-wing echo chamber?

Or a right wing echo chamber, for that matter. I don’t think political leaning is a common factor amongst those who have left or been banned though, they seem to be from across the political spectrum? I wish people were more tolerant, and didn’t report, seemingly at the drop of a hat when somebody said something they thought was personal, because I think that’s the factor most likely to get a warning or banning,

I miss Gabriella and Gillybob too.Both seemed like lovely, kind people.

I was wondering about Gillybob and DurhamJen just yesterday. Northern ladies like me.

Who wants a predominantly Left-wing echo chamber?

Not me for sure JenniferEccles! This forum is like Grand Central Guardian most days. 😁

I miss Gabriella she was a one off. I also miss Gillybob.

I remember Gabriella she gave me the details of a lovely little boutique near her.

Like you say, she seemed really kind hearted.

What happened to UrmstonGran? 💐

👋 I’m here, it’s me 😁
I had to have a name change because of an admin technicality and Lily from GNHQ helped me to sort it out
I had to use a new name.

It was complicated and I found it stressful.

Goodness knows how others (banned) manage to re-emerge with new monikers! I think they use a different computer so the IP details or whatever isn’t recognised?

Which Thread was that GG13, if you can remember?

I think it was the one about the Gorton and Denton bi election, which seems to have disappeared (either that or I am looking in the wrong place 🤦‍♀️)

Well what a coincidence- I was watching a Youtube vlog about the Isle of Man and EllenVannin came to mind. I’m
the same as FGT re crumpets as whenever I have them I’m reminded of the ‘crumpet queen’ too.

CariadAgain hasn’t posted this last week, she did have several of her posts deleted on a thread, haven’t seen her since 🤷‍♀️

I always enjoyed GSM's posts too - even if I didn't always agree with her. She was often a very helpful source of advice to other posters too, especially when it came to legal matters. I don't understand why posters can't agree to disagree without reporting every little thing - unless of course it is something like a personal attack or something really offensive. We're all supposed to be adults.

It will depend on what has been said and why deleted I expect.

It doesn't always make sense, who gets banned. It must be the Moderators overview.
Yes I know Oreo, deleting does not always lead to a ban. That is not what I said.

Oreo

I think she was banned.
Maybe back again, who knows.

Who? Growstuff?

Why? Banning on here is very inconsistent, isn't it? I know some bans annoy some people and not others, but there are those which defy logic, really.

What happened to UrmstonGran? 💐

She’s now FriedGreenTomatoes.

Maremia

The weird thing is that Bamber is back in the news, with some new 'evidence'.
I also thought they had the right one.
But now, it's wait and see.

I won’t go on about the case because this subject is not what this thread is about.
I lived just up the road from Whitehouse Farm for some years.
I know that area very well. There was no way jeramy could have got to the farm and then back to his home in the time the police state.

I think GSM was banned? There was also a poster from (I think) the north east of England called (also I think!) Gillybob who has just disappeared ie not banned. She looked after her grandchildren a lot. I always liked her posts and admired her stamina.

Banning often if not always feels heavy handed. I miss GermsnShepherdsmum. Politically poles apart but we got on very well. As with some other plain speakers, she was reported. I still feel ‘some posters’ focus and press the report button, knowing their subject has been previously suspended so might be banned
No I haven’t seem growstuff

Hello anniebach

Anniebach

Thank you, I still read GransNet every day, post little because Rheumatoid Arthritis causes much pain in my hands

I'm glad you are still here, Anniebach.
