I am sad to see crimson has gone. I always enjoyed your posts crimson and hope you return. flowers

Ana Fri 18-Jan-13 17:28:40

It's bloody rude anyway!

jeni Fri 18-Jan-13 17:32:33

confused the upset or mumsnet?

Greatnan Fri 18-Jan-13 17:34:32

Blimey, Movedalot, what a memory you have! Was that something that happened before you joined? It must be boring looking at old posts.

I have often felt like leaving GN when my posts have been constantly jumped on and my comments taken out of context, but I won't be driven off a site that has made me so many lovely friends. Anyway, who would take over Just Jokes? grin Sometimes you have to have a thicker skin.

Crimson was lovely and I know it was just a silly misunderstanding, so if anyone can contact her, please tell her we want her back.

j07 Where did you get that idea?

Greatnan Fri 18-Jan-13 17:35:21

Ana, I thought we had an agreement!

j07 Fri 18-Jan-13 17:36:57

What idea?

j07 Fri 18-Jan-13 17:37:20

Good job we're not paying for these posts, like text messages!

jeni Fri 18-Jan-13 17:37:49

Doesn't she go racing with someone off GN. Whoever it is must have her phone number?

j07 Fri 18-Jan-13 17:37:58

What agreement????!!! [nosey cow emoticon]

Ana Fri 18-Jan-13 17:39:41

I'm sorry Greatnan but I don't recall commenting on any of your posts since our agreement. What do you mean?

Movedalot Fri 18-Jan-13 17:43:54

Greatnan You may have time to go looking at old posts but I don't have that inclination! It may have been when I just started and lurked for a while before posting. All I can remember is that it was some months ago. It stuck in my mind because it seemed unlikely that 2 people would decide to post about another thread at exactly the same time without some sort of collusion.

You have taken other people's comments out of context yourself so perhaps should not be too upset when it happens to you. I don't think everyone has the ability to be so thick skinned which is why I try to be kinder in my posts than some.

Greatnan Fri 18-Jan-13 17:48:23

I am really very bored with the continuous sniping and unpleasantness so I suggest you and I, Movedalot, agree to refrain from commenting on each other's posts, just as I agreed with Ana.
Most people on GN do not appear to find me as nasty as you two do and I certainly do not intend to spend my time trawling your past posts to find things to complain about.

j07 Fri 18-Jan-13 17:50:38

Oh you can't pick and choose which posters are going to respond to you!

Faye Fri 18-Jan-13 17:54:44

Maybe I am wrong and it is really Greatnan and absent who are the same person. All have New Zealand in common. What do you reckon Greatnan are you all saying sex instead of six yet. grin

Greatnan Fri 18-Jan-13 17:56:04

No, but I can ignore their comments! If Movedalot wants to spend her time trawling my past posts, long after I have forgotten them, good luck to her.
I remember another former member doing the same thing.

absent Fri 18-Jan-13 17:56:59

Movedalot That is not an example of being kind. Greatnan and I do not collude and I object to your suggestion that we have done so in the past. Please withdraw that accusation.

Movedalot Fri 18-Jan-13 17:57:26

If you are bored by it Greatnan why don't you stop doing it?

You are the one who suggested looking at past posts to find things to complain about so it is inappropriate to suggest that I am. Or perhaps you are 'taking things out of context' again.

I don't know what 'most people' think about me as I haven't taken a poll so I don't know how you can possible know what 'most people' think of you. I do however think that if you are going to have a go at someone you should be prepared to accept it when they retaliate.

No, I'm not coming to an agreement with you as I have no wish to limit the comments I make on different threads just to please you. You have never apologised to me when you have taken me 'out of context' or misrepresented what I have said so please don't expect me to lie down and be trodden on.

Ana Fri 18-Jan-13 17:57:45

I'm still waiting for an answer to my question, Greatnan. I maintain that I have in no way responded to, or made comment upon any of your posts since last whenever it was. I would appreciate a response.

jeni Fri 18-Jan-13 17:59:52

What has this to do with missing Crimson.

Ana Fri 18-Jan-13 18:00:25

If you're referring to my 'bloody rude' comment you'll see, if you look, that it must have been in response to Jingl's post because Movedalot's was only one second before my post.

Greatnan Fri 18-Jan-13 18:01:11

Faye, I can assure you, firstly that we are NOT the same person and secondly that I do not need to collude with anybody in order to make my points. I have a daughter in New Zealand and so does she. We do share many views but I also share them with several other left-wing atheists.
I am still living in the French Alps - I don't know where you got the idea that I was living in NZ.
Some people do adopt new identities, for various reasons, but I am, always have been, and always will be Greatnan.
I don't think Absent would relish being the alter ego of a 72 year old - she is much younger than me!

Grannylin Fri 18-Jan-13 18:02:50

Poor crimson.Invisible alreadysad

Ana Fri 18-Jan-13 18:03:28

Stll waiting, Greatnan.

j07 Fri 18-Jan-13 18:05:27

Ana! Put the flippin' bright lights and torture irons away! hmm

absent Fri 18-Jan-13 18:06:13

crimson There are many good reasons for avoiding Gransnet – some of which/whom have just become obvious – but there are also good reasons for returning and it is clear that lots of us would like it if you did.
