Like it or not ....

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"

Croap???

Hear what galen is saying.

Galen perhaps that thought is worthy of a new thread?

THE END

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??????

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

Totally agree Phoenix.

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

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.

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.

Others leave quietly and without fuss, I have noticed.

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!

Stop the bloody Jingle bashing!

Shame on you all who have engaged in it

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

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

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

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.

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

Aka Agree totally.
