Not a flounce.

Good post Lucky.

I haven't noticed any drama recently but I am hopeless at looking at names anyway.

Baffled why anyone would announce that they are leaving (unless they are flouncing) rather than just disappearing. Unless they are making a point.

The thing to do is just slip away from threads that have lost the plot and join in those that are interesting or jolly. Political debate can get heated and strong views are inevitable but no-one has to stay on any thread.
There is lots to enjoy and interesting debates to join in, but no obligation to stay on any thread.
There are some splendid people on here, so perhaps best not to throw the baby out with the bathwater!

I left for two years, sometimes good to have a break. Used different name on return,

I once did this on a social media group. I said I was leaving and stated my reasons. Then, I kept getting notifications from people harassing me because I left!

I won't do it again.

Well she was right with the ‘no one is listening’ considering quite a few think a completely different poster has left

🤣🤣🤣

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

The post above posted by Shelflife caused the confusion for some.
Argymargy never said she was leaving. She was sympathising with the OP.

Well as usual I ve missed any previous drama to make Lefargar feel unhappy or unheard so I m not sure what this is all about but it’s always sad when someone already struggling feels invisible but I can see from the last few posts there is snipiness all around

Anyway I wish you better days Lefargar

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 hope you feel better soon, too. Best to avoid a place where there is sniping and nastiness, it doesn’t help. Might I suggest not going to the sections on politics or similar, just stick to the lighthearted threads ? Good luck and best wishes 💐

No Mt61.
lafegar in her OP said she’s leaving again.
Then argymargy. put a comment and others put what argymargy said
and then others continued without having read that lafegar was leaving.
So if you read the OP and understood that lafegar was leaving, there’s nothing to worry about.

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

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?

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. 💐

Absolutely 👏👏👏👏

I hope you feel better soon too.

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

The OP leaving is lafergar.

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 😔

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

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 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.

Take care, sorry to see you go.

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