durhamjen

This is very sad. These posters were well-informed and I enjoyed reading what they had to say. I hope they have not felt driven away. I’ve only been on GN for 6 months and have noticed the increasing bad temper on the current affairs threads. Seems that soon GN will be all games....

loopy

loopy I think they do have the internet in Russia!

Perhaps they were Russian diplomats who have been sent home. Is it possible?

I found out, Bathsheba because durhamjen hadn't posted for a couple of days and when I tried to PM her to find out if she was OK the PMs wouldn't deliver. GnetHQ confirmed that she was no longer registered.

Oh did she? I missed that. Oh well, I suppose there's loads I miss really, cos I don't read every post on every thread...

#there'smoretolifethanGN

ww did say she was leaving

How do you all manage to find out, so promptly, that people have left? I mean one day they were all posting and within a couple of days threads are started about them having left. They didn’t announce it did they? And there’s no members’ list to check

Oh no, not new links ?

It's what DH calls 'going on and on' gillybob

whitewave is not receiving pms so has gone

I do that too Jalima but to be fair I don’t think that’s what was meant by “going on and on”

I think they’ll all be back eventually complete with new names , new links etc.

trisher!
No-one forces anyone to read a thread or post on it if they don't wish to join in and/or find it boring to the extent of yawning.

see - i did it again

Must stop doing that

and she was worried about her elderly mother

GGMK2 left before though, and came back again.
Perhaps she is having a break - or looking at retirement properties?

I realise I went on and on
I thought that was me when I post then remember another thing I should have said!

But she has left, all the same humpty

GGMK2 has a current thread on retirement properties that she started last week...

I agree Day6

I agree with others that GN is a really good site with lots of caring and helpful posters. I haven't picked up any signals that it's a 'bad place' at the moment.

News and Politics is a bear pit though. However the missing posters weren't shy and retiring or meek and reticent. They could dish it out too. It's a partisan forum because people DO (because of the nature of politics) take sides.
People do have to stand their ground. I am sure the missing posters will re-group in time or come back in a different guise.

Posters come and go for all sorts of reasons and it is easy enough to avoid forums that aren't to your taste.

I was just asking about durhamjen. I didn't realise it would be used as an opportunity to have digs about various people.

I'm sorry whitewave left and, if durhamjen has left too, that's a great shame.

Well said gillybob!

I am not in the slightest bit sensitive thank you Trisher why be so nasty? I’m not naming anyone . They know who they are. End of.

Please stop telling posters what to post Trisher
