Come in trisher!

Friendly reminder:

Your words carry no more weight than anyone else's

We are all equals, no one is special or important here

VS I don't need a reminder - I didn't say they did. You are becoming more and more difficult to understand as this thread progresses.

What is your problem? Neither I nor anyone else has 'outed' trisher - simply pointed out that we know she is back under another guise. I have said so to GagaJo in the past when she has bemoaned trisher's passing, so it is odd that this thread was started in the first place. It is you who is dragging it out, nobody else. For someone who claims to be all about love and peace, you don't half start a lot of trouble!

Wow. I think we’re heading for a thread deletion here. Some do love to create bad vibes and division over nothing.

Why the focus on me doodledog? I haven't said much. We haven't spoken for a while, did you miss me?

No.

I'm just responding to your rather insulting comment that I thought my voice had more weight than others and needed a 'friendly reminder' from you of all people.

I answered you doodedog

I am careful about who I address on posts

Anyway this looks like it's spiralling into shenanigans

I had an opinion but I have no Llamas for drama today

^I have changed username and rhe answer is yes!^

No you haven't! Your other username (Starblaze) was locked when you were banned by GNHQ for relentlessly bullying another poster! You crept back in as VioletSky and were instantly recognised (as was trisher, but she wasn't banned). You were only allowed back to GN on the provision that you started a thread apologising for your previous behaviour.
Don't rewrite history AGAIN VioletSky!

And who were you Cakeface then, if you know so much about it.

Post reported.

No, you didn't answer me. I didn't ask you a question. I tend to avoid getting into discussion with you where possible, and didn't address you on this thread until you had a go at me directly. Please stop twisting things.

I am not creating bad feeling - I am responding to goading posts in response to mine, which was a direct response to the OP and not addressed to you (*VS*) in any way.

If anyone PMs me and says "hi, it's me!" Then I'm still going to keep my mouth shut about it because its no one's business

No time for gossip and drama today lol

🤔
But surely that goes without saying?

What if someone sends you a pm saying 'ah, is that you?'

You could say yes in a pm (or ignore it) but wouldn't expect the other person to post it.

I've never bullied anyone by the way, I got too emotionally involved and triggered in arguments, that I didn't start, while suffering unknown (at the time) illness. Some of the things said to me were pretty awful and I'd challenge most people not to lose it a bit and bite back

I have apologised, paid my dues and worked on myself, that's all anyone can do really apologise and be accountable

Love
Starblaze/Violet Sky

Happy evening all

Well, like GG13 I don't have a clue, and I'm not really that bothered to find out.

If someone comes back with a different username and doesn't shout 'Yoohoo, it's me back!' then I think people should just leave them to it.

Even if we know, we'd tend to ignore it because someone may have a reason for a name change.

It's usually fairly obvious, though.

that sort of think is usually done by the back door- pms to 'group' (as I won't use the other word for it).

I think with most people it’s not for a bad reason that they change their user name, it’s because they leave and return, or have a technical problem and get locked out of Gransnet. You can’t rejoin with the same user name, can you?

For people with a very distinctive posting style and strong views it’s impossible to disguise who you are on Gransnet even if you try to, for whatever reason, because there are a limited number of regular posters and you will inevitably be recognised, and some of your more contentious statements will be remembered. That’s both the strength and weakness of this forum. Mumsnet is far more anonymous if that’s what you want.

Group? By the back door? What are you suggesting?

pms, as said. That is where the gossip goes.

If I ever decide to leave and then return, please will no-one start a thread asking about it?😂

If that hadn't happened, nobody would have been any the wiser. Yes, some of us are aware of who the 'new' poster is, but nobody has outed her, which is good, I think. As others have said, there are all sorts of reasons why people change names, and there is nothing wrong with that, so long as they don't use the new one for nefarious purposes.

Could someone please translate this thread into English, please.

Should I just confuse everything by saying I dont think have seen Far North lately and wondered if she was ok.

Don't mind me, just reading back through the thread to make sure things did happen in the order I said they did

I was not mistaken

kittylester - as the OP, I'll summarise. Started with good intentions, turned into a bun fight.

Ooooo Galaxy. Good point.

I noticed it the other day gagajo. Hope she doesnt mind me mentioning it!

Hope they are OK!

Fleurpepper

I do wonder what is the record on GN?

We had a poster some years ago called GrandJura?
I lost count with her at about 5.
There was another called Soontobe. I lost count completely with her.

Yes, it is a while since she posted.

I think a way of getting to posters posts (as in a 'see all posts by this user' link) would be useful. They exist on a lot of boards, and I doubt they are expensive. That way we could check if someone's last post said they were going on a long holiday, or that they were ill, or something, and it would save speculation and concern. It would also be useful if there is a 'suspect' post that people think might be fake. If everything else that poster had posted was dubious, or if someone comes along every six weeks asking about the same thing, it is helpful to know before replying.

I hope FN is ok.

Or even just when they last posted.
