Not sure if I am allowed to ask this on here.....

As far as I know she decided to leave the forum.

That’s my understanding. I think she didn’t like the criticism of the SNP, though in my experience she could give at least as good as she got!

Part of life’s rich pattern. People come ,people go. I was on a particular forum for more than 10 years but eventually left because I started to disagree with many of the posters. Best to move on, no point in staying.

Everyone has a choice, bit I'm always surprised when people just dont respond to the threads they dont like. It's not compulsory.

I agree some subjects here I don't get involved in but others do. This poster was actually very well informed. There are others who have just disappeared it's a pity especially when they have been banned it's like being at school naughty grans!

Good point nanna8 lifes too short, as they say

I thought she had only left one particular thread, but it seems she has left completely.

Did she actually post her reasons before she left then? I missed that if she did. Although there is an awful lot I do miss on here! Perhaps it's just as well.

I had been wondering too. Maybe she's joined a debating society or canvassing for the SNP. Her political views certainly came across strongly. I have been on the end of her scathing comments quite a few times.

Whatever the reason I will miss her contributions in particular in relation to covid .

Me too

I agree Redhead, being banned is like being at school. But I've yet to understand the rules clearly.

Scathing comments that is

Lemongrove has disappeared too. I don’t know why but anyone who supports the Conservatives, as she does, like me, gets short shrift on here.

Yes I’ve noticed the bias germanshepherdsmum. Doesn’t affect me but it is noticeable.

Do we know for certain that she left, or is she just taking a break?

People often take time out from discussion boards when they feel that they are more stressful than fun, then come back when they feel more positive about it all.

She has cancelled her account

I have been on the end of her scathing comments quite a few times...
I really love reading the more even handed posters. Those who steadfastly support their pov, with clever debate. Without diminishing their opponent by attacking them.

But I get that we all go overboard from time to time, but if undermining is the main tactic to winning that bout of the 'discussion'. It becomes too adversarial for my taste.

I already do. She has left please let’s not continue to criticise her ! For the record there was a lot more to her decision than the SNP thread

It seems a bit OTT if it’s about criticism of Scottish independence. I could just as easily do the same due to the Tory bashing.

Oh come off it gsm

The thing is not everyone is going to agree on everything.

I enjoyed the fact that she had lots of scientific knowledge but also recognised the civil liberties issues with regard to vaccine mandates etc.

Thank you GN's. I didn't want to pry or need personal details but I missed her. Please don't post unpleasant things about her. That was never my intention. I didn't always agree with her views but that's what a healthy discussion is all about, I thought. She had quite a lot of knowledge on varied topics.
