... there is no-one on Gransnet with the perspicacity and wit of j08.

Some people are 'special' smile Why do you think GN tolerated her many infringements?

The forum is cr*ap without her posts.

I too am bored with it all. So why don't we all ignore any posts on the subject. Quickest way to stop it surely.

Oh dear silly me Ana of course I meant "O" grin

Croap??? confused

Mishap Mon 21-Oct-13 22:39:05

Hear what galen is saying.

Aka Mon 21-Oct-13 23:09:46

Galen perhaps that thought is worthy of a new thread?

THE END thlsmile

River To say "this forum is crap without her posts" Is imo the most breathtakingly ridiculous statement ever!

Are you really saying that the whole ethos, raison d'etre or anything else that I might spell wrong, of this whole forum, is totally dependent on one member/ex-member/revised member??????

Anne58 Tue 22-Oct-13 02:01:42

Oh, sorry . sorry, I composed that ^^ while the most recent posts were being, em posted. Sorry sorry sorry.

Granny23 Tue 22-Oct-13 02:16:31

Totally agree Phoenix.

Posting now to prove you are not the only night owl on here grin

Anne58 Tue 22-Oct-13 02:19:28

FFS!
1) She will no doubt be back.
2) This is just feeding the damn thing, and yes, even this is feeding the whole sodding thing!
3) She is the only GN member who has ever managed to upset me, so, in some respects, well, just effing forget it.

Actually phoenix, there is more than one way to read the OP.

"... there is no-one on Gransnet with the perspicacity and wit of j08."

Very true, but there are plenty of people who have far more perspicacity and far greater wit. And, for that matter, who never told people to fuck off, piss off, wrote offensive insults but crossed them through, etc. I am hugely bored with the breast beating and sackcloth and ashes. No problem if she comes back – as she so often has – but right now, she has gone BECAUSE SHE CHOSE TO DO SO. Okay, I have stopped shouting now.

But she will be reading all this stuff somewhere and loving every minute of it. Now I really must stop being so sad and stop reading it myself.

absent Tue 22-Oct-13 09:01:59

Atqui Of course she will. That is obviously one of the reasons she has resigned so many times when things were getting a bit hot for her.

Hey, let's not go down this path. Let's try to be a bit more pleasant to each other and to those who have left us.

Ariadne Tue 22-Oct-13 09:33:01

Others leave quietly and without fuss, I have noticed.

Aka Tue 22-Oct-13 09:37:03

Ariadne everyone has different ways of doing things. I think there's been too much vitriol recently and too much 'us and them'. I'd like to heed Galen's request to try for a bit more harmony and understanding, especially for those 'vulnerable' people she mentioned who need this site.

Good idea!

thatbags Tue 22-Oct-13 09:46:14

Stop the bloody Jingle bashing!

Shame on you all who have engaged in it angry

glassortwo Tue 22-Oct-13 09:50:30

I agree bags like dogs with a bone angry just let it go!

Gagagran Tue 22-Oct-13 10:16:02

Hear! Hear! Bags. True colours have well and truly been shown.

bluebell Tue 22-Oct-13 10:33:10

I'd stop the jingle bashing if others stopped the jingle sanctifying - I'm happy with a truce but not a one way agreement that allows her to be treated like a bloody saint

glassortwo Tue 22-Oct-13 10:39:30

blue No one is making her into a Saint, if it was any other member I would have said the same and have done in the past.

bluebell Tue 22-Oct-13 10:43:16

But my point is that we could all stop! We'll never agree about her and yes some people talk about her as though she was GN

Ariadne Tue 22-Oct-13 10:45:09

Aka Agree totally.
