Missing GN members

Rufus2
Thanks for that. Not much up for a sex change though

No, I haven't seen Eglantine for a while either.

I haven’t seen Eglantine’s name for a while, is she still here?

I was thinking of Monica when I started the thread. Not that we've always agreed on everything, but she's a good debater.

Jura left because she'd had enough of the nasty right-wing viciousness on here. That exit was through choice.

This is the 2nd time Gabriella has left so hopefully it's only more of the same.

MawB has also gone, mainly because of nastiness.

great minds think alike!!

fatgran; So True! G'Day Buddy! how have you been going lurking down there in Tassie!?
Good to see you back in the "mainstream"
Keeping away from the NW corner I hope and haven't seen any mention of Wynyard in the stats. Your Premier is doing a good job describing all the good work being done down there.
Good Health

I did pm M0nica because she was missed a couple of weeks ago, but have not had a reply. It is worrying, but perhaps she is taking a break.

Where is POGS?

I thought I saw henetha the other day, but I could be wrong.

jura wanted to know how to permanently delete her account, perhaps she succeeded.

pikachu appeared to be a new poster who disappeared but perhaps was someone who had a name change. She sent me a very kind pm about gardening. Thank you pikachu if you are still around. We have beans and peas!!

GN make it very clear they won't change usernames unless there are exceptional circumstances
GrannyLaine Why not abandon your current "User profile"
and simply re-join as a new subscriber? You could even change your sex to throw everyone off the scent and no-one would need know!

Oh thank you Rufus sir?

Granjura and Gabriella. Have both made choices to leave before and returned so they may well turn up again.

It is very unusual for M0nica not to post. Whether through choice or, hopefully not illness, I hope she returns.

You can change your username yourself.

It's allowed.

Henetha posts on the games threads.

Thank you for the update.

I haven't seen granjura for quite a while (or is she just jura now, I forget!)

JenniferEccles I absolutely agree, and yes, a few others besides. I'm not sure how the name changes come about as GN make it very clear they won't change usernames unless there are exceptional circumstances.
I think a lot of members are posting much less recently because of sheer nastiness, thinly veiled as political debate

It’s a great shame that it’s often the more interesting posters who disappear
Jennifer. Please stay!

Sorry, yes you’re right, Kitty. I was on wrong page.

But that was posted 30 March.

MOnica is on today’s ‘Booored’ thread ?

I miss M0NICA and GabriellaG54.

Ditto JenniferEccles

And, dare I say it, there are a few who I wish *would *disappear from GN.

I’m thinking of one or two who appear virtually daily on the Politics thread, starting thread after thread posting the same boring predictable rants about the government.

It’s a great shame that it’s often the more interesting posters who disappear.

I know some members have decided not to post, or even look at, GN because so many threads descend into bickering. In fact one GN has told me she is currently avoiding the site because of the "nasty, backbiting, childish and downright unpleasant posts" by some GNs.

I agree Calendargirl so many threads on similar themes, it's boring.

I do hope that all missing posters are well though, maybe they will read this thread and be in touch.

I was led to believe that the poster, posting as GGumpteenth was not Gabriella, as I too initially thought.
Another Gransnetter put me right.

However, it's not for me to say who has changed their name, but it did make me realise that it's not a good idea to speculate, it can cause all sorts of bother, when a post is attributed to the wrong poster.

Posters change user names for a variety of reasons. That's their business. However, it does cause me some unease when someone disappears, but sometimes posters withdraw for health or family reasons or they have had just enough of the nastiness on GN.
