Another member leaving.

I am bumping this as I want you all to see this thread I am so mad!!!!!!

This is such a pity that a long standing member is leaving, and for GN as well!

Thanks for letting us know, glass.

Please could you tell me what bumping is glassortwo,as I am relatively new to GN.

Aga sorry thats sounds like a stove .... bumping is when you keep bringing a thread back to the top of the active/last hour so people can see them as they can slip off the bottom of the page and get missed.

I'm very sorry to hear it but not really all that surprised.

Thanks for that...I had wondered before !
It's a shame that well established members are leaving.....but dare I say , as an "outsider", I can see why!

This is terribly sad, glass and shouldn't be happening. Can we not know who it is? One of the things I have found frustrating about Gransnet is that there seems to be so much going on behind the scenes. It doesn't encourage positive posting.

I know what you mean merlotgran. Sometimes I wonder if I'm alone in never seeming to know what's going on.

I don't know to whom you are referring Glass but it is sad if people feel they can't stay, for whatever reason.

I know what you mean too? I feel really left out sometimes.

I'm sorry someone else feels the need to leave but I have to agree with others that there is a whole lot going on that I have no notion of.. I admit I don't read every thread from end to end but it seems odd that I and others seem to 'miss' a lot of these undercurrents and disagreements...

Agree with you Merlot
I'm too.

I think I can deduce who you mean, Glass, because I had noticed a dropping off in posts and I am shocked that she feels that she no longer belongs. I feel a change in the atmosphere here and am hanging on, but not getting involved in disputes if I can help it.

I agree absolutely, merlot. There does seem to be an awful lot going on 'behind the scenes', together with cryptic comments and references to members having two identities etc. Paranoia?

Can I say that I very rarely know what is going on behind the scenes here, I was always the same at school never knew what was going on until it was too late.

Its Notso that has left and I am so mad/sad/upset that she has had to go.

I just felt that you should all be aware that people are being driven away by all this Rutting for want of a better description. Sorry if I have offended anyone by that but that's whats its like!

Notso if you're lurking and reading this.
I'm very sorry you're leaving. I shall miss you![sad\

Like you, anno, I'm hanging on. I've met too many fine people here to give up, though I'm sorely tempted at times. I've also worked out who is leaving, and it's making me quite unhappy.

I have been lurking for a good few weeks now only posting occasionally I am also sad at what is happening,and feel as others that there are things that are going on that I am unaware of,I am glad that others have said that they feel left wondering what is going on and out of things,it is only the support and kind words that I have had in the past,keep me still logging on,I hope this bad phase soon passes and GN can continue in the peaceable way that it once was when I joined a year ago

I'm another who doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes – never suspected there was a behind the scenes until very recently, in fact. I'm sorry notso didn't feel there was still plenty to enjoy on gransnet. Goodbye, notso.
Goodnight everyone else. I'm off to bed.

Kitty, so there is a parallel universe ... ?! I don't have a clue what' s going on, am just about hanging in. There' s much about GN that is good and I' d be sorry to lose that.

meant to add . Am learning on the kindle...

I really don't know what has been going on, but I feel sad that some people are being upset, I know I'm only a newbie, of the last couple of months,but I thought this was such a nice site, everyone has been so kind to me, complete strangers but you were all so friendly when I was in hospital ( still waiting for a date to have my kidney removed by the way) and the kindness I received really helped me get over the shock of the results. Please everyone try and be kind to each other, this site is so comforting, and really there is no room for nastiness, life is too short.
