Not a flounce.

I joined within aa couple of months of GN starting and there are others, but a number of us have for various reasons changed our names.

I'm off here too now, seems I can't post answers, I haven't been on here for 14 years

Do you mean you were on here 14 years ago and have just come back or that you haven't been on here since GN began?

Nor have I been on here since it began.
I wonder if any have?

Cliques?
Sometimes people have the same thoughts, ideas, views.
It happens. It doesn't mean they're in a clique.

No idea, one eye on the football, one on my wine and another on GN.

Sorry, but I really can't see how I've upset you MickyT.
This is the trouble on GN at times. No one is clear about what is going on.

Yes clique's petra, Smileless2012 because you all follow each other with virtually the same answers, 14 years eh!! The Old boys and or Girls Club then?

🤣🤣🤣

So by your reckoning if we post on more than one thread you’re on MT or if we ever give the same answer as you, you think we’re in a clique with you?
No thanks.

Anyone see what was posted and deleted immediately after my comment?
I missed it. I was out on the beach with the dog, (because they're not allowed from June 15th, but in that usual French way no-one takes any notice at this time of night! GMT + one hour).

Message deleted by Gransnet. Here's a link to our Talk guidelines.

Well the clique of 14 years was quite happy to let this newcomer into their circle 5 or 6 years ago when i joined. They're not that close knit that they won't allow others to chat with them. They live and let live from what I've seen, its got nothing to do with following them around on the forum and mirroring their answers.

You need to look up the definition of a clique MickyT.

Mt61 no one knows what has happened to BigLouis
She did talk about having a serious illness ( did she use the words terminal? ) and then it was realised she hadn’t posted in a long time so no one is sure, fingers crossed she just isn’t posting but it’s not looking too positive.

Oh no Bluebell 😔 You never know the minute! Could be posting one minute then suddenly gone, no one would be any the wiser. Hopefully not.

empathised even

didn’t

not “did that”

Oh yes sorry I see how I made a bit of a mess of posting re Old Frill .

I did that all mean it to look like it was Allira.

I meant that I sympathised with Old Frill.

It's often the case that those of us who've known one another for years are accused of being in cliques petra.

MickyT

I don't blame you leaving lafergar to many clique's going on, I think

What you refer to as cliques are probably those of us who have known each other for 14 years 🤷‍♀️

Thanks Mollygo

No, I didn't say it!

Anything in ^ like ^this is a quote from someone else's post.
Just to make it quite clear

Just to make it quite clear
The maybe take your own advice should not be attributed to Allira as it seems to be.

It started here. I’ve enclosed the post where
OldFrill says that to Crossstitchfan

in response to Crossstitchfan’s suggestion that maybe lafegar leaving, is her best choice.

Crossstitchfan
In my opinion, leaving is your best choice.

OldFrill
Maybe take your own advice.

Allira

Maybe take your own advice.

Isn't that the kind of remark which puts people off Gransnet?

Indeed, truly nasty.

Well that’s the thing,

When somebody has been really rather nasty to you, you have to be a so much better person not to want to have a dig back a them.

Like I said I expect it’s tit for tat. Pity we can’t quote from other threads.

I am thinking of BigLouis

She said she wasn't well.
She did make me 😯 sometimes but she certainly wasn't run-of-the-mill 😁

kittylester

Please can I join?

You have to have a big skirt and an accent like Scarlett O'Hara!

I can honestly say I’ve never noticed any cliques on here, if there are any I’ve never been asked to join one < flounces >

Me neither, but if they exist, I could learn to flounce if it means I could join one.
