... 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.

Aka Tue 22-Oct-13 11:45:31

Bluebell let's all call a stop to this please.

Marelli Tue 22-Oct-13 11:27:06

.......the End.

bluebell Tue 22-Oct-13 10:56:01

Or not it

bluebell Tue 22-Oct-13 10:55:39

Well lets see whether its a basher it a sanctifier who now posts something about her or starts a new thread on the topic

bluebell Tue 22-Oct-13 10:54:13

Gransnet - as in GN is crap without her

glassortwo Tue 22-Oct-13 10:54:04

Exactly all have to call a halt_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ana Tue 22-Oct-13 10:49:48

GN? confused

Ana Tue 22-Oct-13 10:48:15

GN? confused Surely you don't mean...

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

Aka Agree totally.

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

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 10:33:10

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stop the bloody Jingle bashing!

Shame on you all who have engaged in it angry

petallus Tue 22-Oct-13 09:45:44

Good idea!

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.

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

Others leave quietly and without fuss, I have noticed.

Aka Tue 22-Oct-13 09:32:59

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Totally agree Phoenix.
