Putting myself on the chopping block ...

It says a lot about someone's character when they choose to post for the first time just to be unpleasant

I think that is actually true of every individual thread. Posting for the first time to argue on any separate thread will show a negative facet to a person's character.

Again i find it really troubling that people have such a negative experience here they post about it elsewhere and they feel they are having to fight and argue to be allowed any space here

We don't have to fight and argue though, taking a deep breath and explaining patiently our point of view has been shown as effective

Welcome to GN EllaMayo

We were all new once

And new to post doesn't necesarily mean new to reading the forums.

Yes DL it always fascinates me how a 'new' one comes along with the knowledge they have, or have they been 'lurking' for sometime but never posted before .

Gransnet must be placing adverts somewhere with the amount of new people rocking up this week, apparently knowing so much about other posters…😑

ps especially when the poster is new to GN.

No worries EllaMayo, happy to oblige

Thank you for proving my point Smilless2012

ella mayo, that was nasty and personal remark you made to smileless , you are lower8ng the tone further !

Thank you for the advice EllaMayo but it isn't needed. My recollections of VS's experiences on GN are fact, as I have already said.

Smileless2012

Your recollections are not facts just because you say they are. They are colored by your experiences and bolstered by repetition. Other people recollect the same events differently. This is human nature. You would do well in life to apply this to your relationship with other people. Such as your own children.

I'm sorry this is making you feel down, VioletSky. I've always thought you make great sense and come at things from a very empathetic and gentle angle.

I cannot say the same for some others on this forum.

Thank you for saying that

Whiff no, I wasn't believed but I did send my diagnosis letter gransnet and explain. I let it go too far arguing but it does take 2 to argue and I was always outnumbered, hence the many reports against me. Many comments were deleted though, not just mine and often my comments were twisted into different meanings which was sad and did push me over the edge at times.

As you can see I am absolutely fine now and my mental and physical health is great.

The opening post did what it was designed to do - cause arguments, with other posters cheering from the sidelines I wonder if they're enjoying their popcorn DL.

I know this will be deleted. VioletSky do you mean when you first joined GN when you joined under your old name then got banned . But after a half hearted apology on the chat thread GN let you rejoin under your new name. That apology thread was deleted because so many of us me included got our posts deleted because we didn't believe you. As many will remember why you got banned in the first place . You weren't the only one to get banned at the same time as they joined in with you . I don't know if they rejoined under a new name but you where the only one who GN asked to apologise.

I expect this will get deleted within minutes of me posting .

Fine, it succeeded in that, and if it’s made people happy in some way, then ok.🤷‍♀️

But, I’m not wasting any more time arguing about a situation I’m not even sure exists.🙂

It doesn't interest me TBH but each to their own.

I've never come across any gransnet screenshots.
People must have very dull lives if they find them fascinating, I think.
I need to check out for myself, I think, because I have never actively searched, admittedly.

Absolutely not

Curiosity sent me on an internet search though and screenshots from gransnet are everywhere... Some of them are of me

And the opinions of younger generations about us are sometimes positive but overall... Just not

I feel quite down about that

I'd say I'm an avid reader of threads, so probably.
Also, if I missed anything, it was bound to be carried on, and on, and on, and on... if it was contentious.

How about you?
Have you read every post and thread?

What circumstances?
The ones where she joined in discussions the same as every one else and was afforded equal respect?

Because that is what I've seen since she has been here.

MissA you've seen her every post and comment?
