Why report so much ?

I am bemused by the amount of times GNetters seem to “report” other members for things which are frankly none of their business. I guess they were school snitches …
The result is the loss of longstanding members of GN through either suspension or their resignation (often due to some perceived “ganging up” aka. Disagreeing with other posters. )

Well done !

WhitewaveMark2 said, a couple of weeks ago, that she had covid.
I haven't seen her posting since then.

I’ve missed her too, fingers crossed all is well.

I think she is just taking a bit of a break. Nothing sinister, no GNHQ ban.

That’s good news, it didn’t cross my mind that she would be banned, I’m just glad she’s not unwell - you never know with Covid.

Yes, I know. smile

You raised it.

That was a reply to Maximillian

MissAdventure Wed 06-Jul-22 10:35:02

Touche! grin

StarDreamer Wed 06-Jul-22 10:34:26

You raised it.

MissAdventure Wed 06-Jul-22 10:33:41

In which case they should have a look at the silly songs thread. wink

No suggestion that any adult would be banned for it.

I have read the ladies’ cruise thread and thought it was very amusing. As a man with I hope a modern outlook I saw nothing wrong in the humour I read.

That is a matter for you. I did not report the thread. I did not get them banned.

MissAdventure Wed 06-Jul-22 10:31:59

Nothing the slightest bit wrong with the humour in the cruise thread.

I think people are barking up the wrong tree if they are thinking that was the problem.

You are being set up to fail, stardreamer.
Most unpleasant.

Quite possibly.

But allegations have been made, I did not get them banned, it needs clearing up.

I,would expect whitewave to be about, considering the resignations and political climate.
It's a bit concerning, but hopefully she's just resting.

StarDreamer, the guilt lay in the quoted words. I have read those words for myself and saw that you posted them. I am not intending to bully you by saying this, but stating a fact. I was very disappointed by what I read. I have been a British citizen for a long time and know how things are supposed to work in this country

Well, please quote where I posted them with a thread, page number and timestamp so that we can all assess what I wrote in the context that I wrote it.

If I am considered wrong for what I wrote in the whole context of what I wrote, then fine, but not please on the basis of quotes and comments upon them.

CatsCatsCats Wed 06-Jul-22 10:26:52

FarNorth and Casdon. Thank you.

I do hope she's well and back on the forums soon (even though her and my opinions are far apart smile).

I have only reported one spam post, I wouldn’t report posts that are in opposition to my own ideas. If I were to do that I’d have to report my own husband to someone as I disagree with most of his opinions these days?

*SD*, I was responding to your rather naive suggestion of how a teacher should deal with bullying. As I suspect, you were never a teacher, so you will find it difficult to see from that perspective.

I am sorry that you were bullied at school. However, I'm sure some of us on here were also bullied at school, me included.
The difference is, we don't see bullying every time someone disagrees with us.

I feel sad that you cannot enjoy the lighter side of GN. You are missing so much.

Do you really consider that I, as a male, should be enjoying, for example, the post about a statue that is on page 30 of the thread about the virtual cruise from Lyon?

I don't see bullying every time someone disagrees with me.

But when I was accused of base motives when I tried to support and protect a lady who had protected me and for whose kindness in doing so I will always remember and value, then it was grossly unfair bullying.

MissAdventure Wed 06-Jul-22 10:20:42

Don't they always.,

Thank you for that.

But it was you who introduced the scenario and asked me to comment. I thought it was a hypothetical scenario that you had devised. You omitted to say it was real. I would not have commented if I had known it was real.

StarDreamer
One of us is very confused here, and it’s not me. I certainly never introduced the scenario.

You did introduce the scenario in the thread about Delivery Drivers in 2021.

You asked me to comment on it.

I thought it was a hypothetical scenario that you had made up.

MissAdventure Wed 06-Jul-22 10:12:21

stardreamer has been enjoying the lighter side, recently.
Wonder why that is???,

I wouldn't get drawn into an argument, stardreamer, if I was you, because these things never end well.
