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

Ana Fri 18-Jan-13 18:27:46

Believe me, Kali, I am not in alliance with Greatnan or anyone else. Greatnan objected to my reaction to one of her posts to me, and she suggested that in future we should not comment on or reply to each other's posts.

At the time it seemed like a good idea, but if my every post is going to be scrutinized to see whether it could possibly allude to one of her posts/threads whatever, there doesn't seem much point!

Faye Fri 18-Jan-13 18:27:27

I am sure if crimson is reading this thread she will be assured that nothing has changed. One thing though, whatever we agree or disagree on, we all want you back.

I was thinking crimson if you came back and said to us all is forgiven, would you come back like nanadogsbody who shortened her name to nanado. You might have to come back as crim, what would new posters think? smile

Greatnan my post was tongue in cheek. I don't really think you and absent are the same person, nor Jess. I like the sex for six, haven't you noticed it when you were in NZ. wink

Kali Fri 18-Jan-13 18:23:08

How many people have an 'agreement' with greatnan not to comment on her posts, and does this sound right to others? To me it smacks of alliances. I'm pleased move has refused and am actually deeply shocked that this sort of thing goes on.
Yes, we'd all like to see crimson back jeni but I hope neither move or great would be so crass as to start a thread simply to perpetuate an argument.

Ana Fri 18-Jan-13 18:13:56

I don't think I'm going to get an answer from Greatnan, am I? I wonder why.

Sorry this thread has been hijacked - it was none of my doing.

jeni Fri 18-Jan-13 18:10:14

Go and find your own thread to squabble on! This one is for crimson

Movedalot Fri 18-Jan-13 18:08:43

Absent no it is not is it? It is retaliation because I have had enough of Greatnan sniping at me and think it is time to say so. Perhaps you should read the post again and see that there was no 'accusation' what I said was that it 'seemed unlikely' and imo it is still unlikely that 2 people should start a new post on an existing subject at exactly the same time. It clearly is unlikely as I haven't seen it since!

Greatnan 3rd reference to looking up old posts. Seems to say more about you than me.

Already stayed on here later than usual. I'm off to spend time with my DH

Greatnan Fri 18-Jan-13 18:06:45

Jeni - it has nothing to do with crimson and I think if you look back a few posts you will see that it was not I that introduced a sour note.

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.

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

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

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

Stll waiting, Greatnan.

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

Poor crimson.Invisible alreadysad

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!

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.

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

What has this to do with missing Crimson.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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?
