When GNetters leave us

No, this is not about bereavement, but perhaps a similar feeling of "Was it something I/we said?" I too have tried to pm a GNetter only to be told that is not a valid nickname, so susiecb and littlenellie why did you go?
Of course it is your prerogative and I don't mean to be nosey, but it is sad, especially when you suspect there might be trouble at home and can no longer send support. So if either of you is out there under a different name - I wish you well and still hope it wasn't something we said flowers

well done flickety so well said,at the present time I am not posting as often as I did as my little "cottage industry" catering business has taken off so well that i wonder where the day's are going.I feel sad that nellie and susieb are not posting as nellie brought such light banter to the threads that she engaged in and it was always a pleasure to read susieb's input,but by the sound of it she has a very well deserved diversion stopping her at the moment.
Daman how lucky you are to be going to the festival such a fab part of the world envy

Jingle's latest incarnation is JO4.

glassortwo Tue 16-Oct-12 13:08:41

greatnan she has left again!

Greatnan Tue 16-Oct-12 13:10:06

I put her name in Search a few minuts ago and her posts were listed.

Greatnan Tue 16-Oct-12 13:36:23

But .....neither jingle nor nellie's nicknames are recognised if you try to send them a pm.

soop Tue 16-Oct-12 13:43:43

Littlenellie has left us. She sent me a text message. I'm very sad to lose her. She is a bright, witty, funny lady.

kittylester Tue 16-Oct-12 14:00:57

soop is nellie ok?

soop Tue 16-Oct-12 14:17:36

Thanks for asking, kitty...I think not. She said that GN has changed such a lot and she no longer felt part of it. I was dismayed to hear that. I told her that she is loved and missed. I found her posts to be witty and funny. I doubt that I shall laugh quite so much from hereon. sad

whenim64 Tue 16-Oct-12 14:30:56

I'm so sorry to hear about nellie and I agree with her. The bickering, constant complaining, and persistent 'dog with a bone' picking away at issues drove me away for a few days after this weekend. People I had respect for came back to have one more go. How disappointing. I'm giving Gransnet a rest for a week or so. Peace x

If she texts again tell her how much she will be missed,and she can help keep GN a great place to be with her wit and intelligence, if she came back. [Sad] ps. jingle if you are lurking, I miss you too, I always do. grin

Greatnan Tue 16-Oct-12 14:41:52

I am really sorry to lose littlenellie - I wish I had an address for her so I could tell her how much.
I have also felt inclined to stop posting but I decided that would be giving in to intimidation, so I shall continue to contribute and ignore the jibes about bullying which some people try to introduce onto every thread.

baubles Tue 16-Oct-12 14:51:40

As a relative newcomer I didn't know littlenellie well, however I've always heard her spoken of in affectionate terms. Soop, I know you are particularly fond of her. Perhaps she will return.

Greatnan Tue 16-Oct-12 15:04:46

You have missed something by not knowing her long, baubles - she had to face intolerable loss and kept her sense of humour. She does not value herself enough, but plenty of members of GN value her very highly indeed.

Ella46 Tue 16-Oct-12 15:18:46

I feel really sad now. Those of us who have been on here since the beginning have had a very enjoyable relationship with each other, adding more and more friends to the group as more people joined in.

I just wish everyone would consider their words carefully before posting and treat everyone as they would wish to be treated themselves.

Plase come back Nellie and Jings, you both added a lot of character to our conversations.

Ana Tue 16-Oct-12 15:23:34

when, you have said it all.

Ella46 Tue 16-Oct-12 15:27:04

Ana don't you dare go and leave me to deal with Pete on my own! grin

POGS Tue 16-Oct-12 15:27:15

Flickety

I really like your perceptive view. smile

POGS Tue 16-Oct-12 15:34:17

I know I am resonably new to G.N. but I had noticed Nellie was missing from my favourite thread 'Lils Bar'

I bet you all miss her terribly on there. sad

I thought Jo 4 was on holiday. I certainly will miss her too I enjoyed her 'sparky' input very much. sad

soop Tue 16-Oct-12 16:13:24

Greatnan your comments on Nellie are really kind. I shall pass on all your messages. I doubt that she will reconsider. Her text really knocked the stuffing out of me. I had no idea that she was unhappy. That's bad! I should have known better.

numberplease Tue 16-Oct-12 16:22:04

Soop, please give Nellie my best wishes, she seemed like a nice lady.

Elegran Tue 16-Oct-12 16:48:21

Mine too soop

Mishap Tue 16-Oct-12 17:15:22

Some people reappear on grannynet I think.

Bags Tue 16-Oct-12 17:18:55

Are you new, pogs? Well I never! Just shows how easily some people fit in smile.

Love to nellie from me too, please, soop.

POGS Tue 16-Oct-12 17:58:18

Bags

Well I did say 'reasonably' new. I think it's about 5 months so maybe I should have not made the statement, not sure now I said the right thing. blush

Thanks though smile
