I'm leaving, please don't respond by sniping.

This is just for myself to draw a line under things and move on.

Nobody is listening, the prejudice and misinformation is off the scale.

Kind Wishes to one and all , especially anybody struggling with low mood and isolation.

Thanks

I certainly recognise the name. She contributed to a wide range of posts and I found her views always stimulating and interesting, even though we did not always agree.

Ahh Biglouis has left as well? I hadn’t realised that. Shame.

BlueBelle Fri 18-Jul-25 17:33:15

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.

In my opinion, leaving is your best choice. You have been unhappy and a little bit touchy for some time.

Maybe take your own advice.

I think you are of the opinion that I was being unkind. I wasn’t! The OP has been very unhappy and I simply thought that being on here with people getting the wrong end of the stick(!) was not helping her. You are obviously one of the people she referred to who aren’t listening!

No, l actually wasn't one of those people. Jumping to wrong conclusions and apportioning blame unfairly does you no favours.

Apologies, but I have read and reread your response and still can’t quite understand what you are getting at. I didn’t do any of the things you accuse me of.

I think you are correct, and, you put the sentiment very well.

From now on wear whatever t-shirt you like whenever you like.

🤣🤣🤣

Millie22 Fri 18-Jul-25 18:37:06

Oops
Sorry lafergar

MickyT Fri 18-Jul-25 18:48:41

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

I don't comment very much but I read and I am sorry to see you go. There is a person behind every comment and that matters. Most threads I read seem to have turned into a bit of a ding dong fight before I get the chance to comment and there is no point by then.

She posted, I think more than once on here, that is was not her intention to necessarily let "nature" take it's course.
She posted like she sounded like she meant it. To me.

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 >

BlueBelle Fri 18-Jul-25 19:17:23

Kandinsky nor have I but then I m not an observant person
Perhaps we should start a clique for none clique members 🤣🤣🤣

kittylester Fri 18-Jul-25 19:21:56

Please can I join?

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

^Maybe take your own advice.^

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

Indeed, truly nasty.

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

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

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.

Mollygo Fri 18-Jul-25 20:01:13

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.

Thanks Mollygo

No, I didn't say it!

Anything in ^ like ^this is a quote from someone else's post.

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

Smileless2012 Fri 18-Jul-25 20:13:22

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

Lathyrus3 Fri 18-Jul-25 20:35:48

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.

Lathyrus3 Fri 18-Jul-25 20:36:23

didn’t

not “did that”
