Another missing poster

And Callistemon?
Perhaps she is back and I dont know.

I know virtually nothing of GN history.

I'm afraid this is what happens when people report another poster. They disappear. There has been a lot of reporting it seems and that can only be a bad thing. It will change the dynamics of the site and turn it into an echo chamber.

I think that some of the posters who got their hands slapped are coming back under another non-de-plume. I can easily tell who they used to be even though they have changed their name, simply because of the way they answer posts.

There were a few posters who were banned because of the way they made fun of certain people who posted and even though they have changed their name, they cannot change the way they answer peoples posts, a leopard never changes it's spots.

In fact I have been thinking of leaving because without those posters, the website was more pleasant but now they are back it is not as pleasant.

Unless you have the ability to hide your IP then simply changing your name isn't going to get you back to the forum.

GSM was very kind to me despite our differing views about dogs!

Thank you EkwaNimitee I’ve missed her lovely posts on Good Morning.

Thank you GG13, good to know.

Anyone know about GSM

I think she was suspended for a few weeks and has now decided to ,eave GN.

I am in touch with GSM and she has not decided to leave. She has been banned..

Oh flipping heck!!

I am sure GNHQ thinks we are all in our dotage mumsnet posters seem to be far more robust and are given a lot more leeway.

Please pass on my regards to GSM

The posters mentioned are definitely all missed, whether they have been suspended, banned or chosen to leave. I may not always have agreed with some of their views, but I respected them. I honestly don't understand why we can't just agree to disagree over things and behave like the adults we are supposed to be. To those who are still in touch with them, do pass on my regards.

Jaxjacky…Whitewave made a brief appearance on the News and Politics thread (IHT) yesterday.

shinamae - please give GSM my fondest regards.

GSM is reading these threads and will know people care about her and that she has gone.

All aspects of GN are less tolerant now. It's sad.

Sinamae Crossed posts. Snap!

The late GreatNan!was often at odds with HQ but they were a sensible, good humoured lot in those days.

Imagine if we had not been able to raise the alarm when she went missing! It was a sad outcome but Gransnet played a huge part in raising the alarm because we knew her and her love of walking alone in the mountains.

We did indeed, I remember contacting various French mountain rescue groups. It was a very sad ending.
Can't imagine the pantomime happening these days either.

GSM has not decided to leave. She very much wants to come back. We can only hope she is allowed back because she freely gives valuable legal advice to other posters on a whole range of issues and this is always very much appreciated.

I agree. I enjoyed reading her posts as they were so informative.

I miss GSM - she was so helpful. She was generous with her legal advice p, in a very understated way.

I’ve said this before but it’s worth repeating.
If you are friends with another member: exchange email addresses.
When HQ ban you it is done before you are notified. Therefore you can’t send PMs.

PS I am saddened that some poster, any poster, has 'Been Suspended'. The management seems to be unduly illiberal and high handed. In writing this I fear the management will suspend myself for its own mysterious unreasons.

Grans net is good for treating posters as real flesh and blood people. It's very appropriate that we wonder if someone has died or what .
