Has anyone heard from either of these two ladies recently? I know that EllanVannin was banned, but thought that she had been reinstated.

I miss reading their posts.

Because I’m old (and old fashioned even thought I am wearing my Lucy and Yak dungarees today 🤣) I hadn’t realised Growstuff had disappeared ie banned. I don’t think I can remember her being as deliberately rude as some are here. I always found her posts enlightening. I did not agree with many of GSM’s posts but I liked her when she was in solicitor mode and because she loved German Shepherds, which I do. A concerted effort to get people banned is just ridiculous playground behaviour.

You can appeal, and present a case to have Posters re-instated.

* a concerted effort to get someone banned is just ridiculous playground behaviour *

Well said DamaskRose and yet, it’s pretty clear that has happened. Maremia, there was a concerted campaign resulting in a well liked poster, whose strong political views rattled a few cages - it succeeded. Efforts were made to allow GSM back, sadly to no effect

I’m sorry if Growstuff has been banished. It’s news n politics that often causes disagreements. Surely we are old enough to disagree without forming a gang with the aim of an irritant being banned (evidently not ).

Shades of The Mean Girls in the playground really.
Very sad.

I know I’m overly paranoid regarding these threads, but me and GSM didn’t see eye to eye but I didn’t report her either. I haven’t got the energy to report anyone

Who has?

I think I’ve missed a complete episode
