Another missing poster

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

shinamae - please give GSM my fondest regards.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

I know virtually nothing of GN history.

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

I miss her too! Even her bluntness and politics!

I’ve NEVER reported anyone on GN and would prefer to call-out anything I take issue with!

Ironically, I reported a regular poster last week. For the first time in my 18 months.
And I am glad I did.
I think we all have lines that cannot really be crossed.

I am a mild poster. And person. I think.
But I am not a doormat, and I dont think people should be.

It’s very sad!

Anyone know what’s happened to Glorianny (maybe wrong spelling)

I called it out as well.

Forgotten about her.

There are a lot of posters beginning with the letters C, G, M and N.
I get them confused, unfortunately.

GSM and Iwere often on different sides of the argument but remained respectful.
I'm glad I know what happened as I have tried several times to PM her (about the time she vanished) and the messages didn't say the account was closed/suspended or whatever - it just came up as an error.

I wish there was a way Gransnet could say "this poster is currently unavailable" or similar.
So "Hello GSM". It wasn't anything important just that. "Hello - hope you are OK".

I am so pleased to hear that Urmstongran is OK, just having technical issues. All best wishes Urms.

Unfortunately, the last two threads about missing posters were deleted by GNHQ. I wonder how long this one will last.

I am in touch with Callistemon, she is still reading, but unable to post.
Unfortunately, it is always the interesting posters, who disappear.

I still remain clueless as to what she is supposed to have done that was so bad.

Back in the day there was a website called GrannyNet. The posts were pre moderated and it was so twee everyone died of boredom.

It closed!!

We’re not children and this current censorship is insulting.

There are some easy ways around this. If you use a mobile device (as opposed to a laptop of PC) your IP will be slightly different each time you go online.

Then there are VPNS.

That applies to all those who have been banned. It seems there are people who won't tolerate others posting different views to their own. Snowflakes presumably.

I have only reported the scammers and fake posters when it's obvious they are not real people. Otherwise I don't care what anyone says, I will never report them. Live and let live. Accept that others will say things you don't like.

I think if anyone is insulting us personally (or any other GN for that matter) then they should be reported, likewise scammers.

I miss those no longer posting and wish them well (& to come back please)
