If that's the case isn't that condoning it? I give up.

I think that's probably the case, POGS, but because trolling has to be treated with such secrecy, for some reason, we are told nothing by GNHQ and speculation becomes rife.

I have recieved very few PM's but they have never been 'nasty' nor conniving. I would have immediately notified HQ and confronted the GN member in full sight if I had. I can see how some GN get close and I should imagine there is a nice aspect to sending and giving them.

I have noted some GN have mentioned they have however recieved nasty PMs.

I am now, having just read, 'Just want to say goodbye' on the ASK A GRAN thread, wondering if the fact HQ has declared they are aware someone has been on in more than one persona with the aim of causing trouble if this is a common problem? For all we know all the GN's who have recieved one have been sent them from just one person. Just a thought.

All day a few words kept going round my head after reading this thread. My Moroccan meatloaf is in the oven so here goes

Let the long contention cease!
Geese are swans, and swans are geese
Let them have it how they will!
Thou art tired ;best be still.

It was the first couple of lines including "let no more be said"that kept floating past.
You all saved my sanity last week when I was in the isolation unit known as the Geneva flat so keep on being interesting friendly and kind

I'm relaxing after a hard day listening to everyone else's problems. I very rarely get angry.
I love my drink in the evening. Sadly it's only wine as I'm on the 5-2 diet.
Mind you 3 3/4 lbs off in one week can't be bad?

Soop Galen I am sure a cup of tea is more soothing. Alcohol can make people more angry and we wouldn't want that on this thread.

I feel like Father Ted's housekeeper now. Go on! Go on! Have a cup of tea! and there is Galen in her chair shouting "Drink"
(Please no offence! )

Hang in there Sel Yes he comes up trumps when necessary and it is necessary now while I'm pretty imobile.

Glad your still hear sel

Thanks soop

Good for you, Sel!

That's a response to Galen's question.

...yep!

Sadly I feel the need too to say I have not received or sent any nasty messages but from reading this thread can probably deduce what happened and why. Naming no names leads to speculation.

I have no wish to ressurect the argument but would say the sweeping of stuff under the mat doesn't make it disappear.

It's very sad when good people feel the only way is to disappear - I think I'm more of the 'won't be driven off' mentality.

Can i have vodka instead?

My lovely DH has just brought me a nice warm drink, so I don't need any but thanks.

Good idea soop but I am not sure if it will work! It seems some bits are well and truely between some teeth.

I will drink a virtual cup with you though.
Any other takers?

A 'love in!'

Would anyone like a nice and ? Gather round the fireside...perhaps we all need a wee [hug].

It was neither 'sarcasm' or 'sneering' Absent and I disagree politely with your first sentence, as the evidence would appear that you are.

I am not going to continue to bat this backwards and forwards with you. It is too silly to continue to discuss your ongoing problem with me. Neither am I going to be drived off GN.

I am not interested in portraying you in any sort of light Movedalot. Everyone on Gransnet can portray themselves in any way they wish. I interpreted the second sentence of your post as sarcasm, having forgotten that you have already told me that you never use sarcasm. I apologise for thinking you were being sarcastic – and, as far as I know, there hasn't been any such poll.

Alright Absent. It's nice to have friends, women friends in particular I always think.

No sneering either in my post or in my intention. I am sorry you read it like that but as that was not what I did, and I think you know it was not, imo it says rather more about you than it does about me.

I think this is another case of you attempting to portray me in a bad light. Please desist.
