Not a flounce.

Sorry you're feeling down. I doubt whether anyone is actively trying to make things worse for you but perhaps you're not in the best place to accept different points of view. Good luck.

What argymargysays.
You can always return in the future.

So sorry to hear this, but I totally understand, and have felt this way many times before. argymargy, perhaps this is not about 'different points of view'- which I am sure lafergar can deal with very well. Often it goes far beyond that. The world is currently in such a mess, and accepting that some actually seem to applaud genocide, is just not something that one can accept.

Wish you the very best lafergar, take care.

Sorry to see you go. I hope you feel better soon.

Seen many a flounce on mumsnet over the years - although haven’t seen one for literally years as it’s so big no one would notice if you left.
I think people have to remember that posting on social media ( and in particular discussing politics ) is not compulsory, millions of people can’t be bothered.

If it’s annoying you switch off and forget about it.

Good for you - have often felt the same - unfortunately contributors {hiding behind pseudonyms of course} become more and more acerbic and bitchy with each passing day.

lafergar I do understand how you feel.

Sometimes it feels like banging your head against a brick wall, which is very bad for your own well being.

Take care; take a breather; hope to see you here again.

You will be welcomed back by me at any time.

I hope your low mood improves.

Hopefully you will find your happy place

It's a shame you feel you need to leave.

Occasionally I feel that way, but I've just accepted that no one is probably listening to me half the time anyway, (even though I do have a few interesting and knowledgeable things to say!)

It's pointless getting frustrated or annoyed when you can't convince someone. It's a waste of energy, so best to remove yourself.

I hope you feel better soon.

By the way, there used to be a poster, a few years ago, who often used the head against a brick wall moving emoji. It didn't get her anywhere at all, and she left never to return. She didn't ever appear happy, and that's sad.

What argymargy
And, as Oreo says
You can always return in the future.
Enjoy your break, however long.

I wish you well argymargy and yes, you can always return to GN - I hope you do!
Good luck for the future.

Take care, sorry to see you go.

I understand perfectly how you feel. I have felt the same at times.
I must admit that I found your blanket statement Nobody is listening etc. rather hurtful and you have made me and possibly others, feel even worse about myself. I am sure that was not your intention. This is not a snipe just an observation.

I hope you find happiness in the future.

I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of an interaction or argument on Gransnet with you argymargy? Maybe you'll get bored and come back to the fold later-on?
Great name by the way, all the best. 🖐👍😉

I'm confused, though it maybe the 🍷.
Is argymargy leaving? I've read it on two posts.

Good that you recognise you need ‘time out’.
People on here don’t always see eye to eye, but I think everyone on here do support each other when the chips are down.
Hopefully you will come back soon as, Lafergar 😔

The OP leaving is lafergar.

Clearly folks on here don’t pay attention (sorry argymargy on behalf of the hard of understanding) and those misinformed provide examples of themselves by getting the name wrong and who just join the thread and follow responses like sheep (sorry sheep). I totally agree with you Iafergar. Unfortunately I was also shocked and upset at the way SOME people on here use these forums as a way to get cheap “fuel” by inciting arguments and being nasty. Please take good care, you are clearly better than most on here. Well done and best wishes. 💐

I hope you feel better soon too.

Hope that you can reach out to someone and not feel so isolated.

Absolutely 👏👏👏👏

I have read every post, reading it as though Lafergar that is leaving? Is that right? Then find this other lady argymargys leaving? I’ve I read that wrong?

Petra please explain! Why we aren’t getting it please. Thanks
