Friends that depress you!

Why do you think he posted such a crass remark when .... ???

Daman if you stay around long enough you will see there is no miseryass on here. However, visitors who drop in and make hasty judgements don't tend to stay long. I wonder if you will be different?

Actually greatnan to get back to your OP, I just cannot physically be in the company of people who are ALWAYS looking on the black side of life. I'm not talking about people who are down, or upset or need support. I mean those individuals who literally steal your energy from you and leave you exhausted.
And please don't go all loving on us!

Daman welcome back. Thanks for the advice I'm sure it was well meant but I'm wondering who you think is 'weak'? On the other hand you sound slightly delirious a happy chappy, a sort of make Pollyanna.

Thank you Greatnan for your grin.

So you have a sense of humour -great. Maybe we can get on? We all need to remember, 'The only person in the world we can change is ourselves'.

So you can be more loving and kind to yourself - then to your friend.

I have changed myself since Thursday, because today I dont think you are a miseryass.

well I think it certainly shows how supportive the ladies are on here despite as Ana and Faye have worked out an attempt of bullying and I do hope that is the end of it.

sorry your thread got hijacked Great nan but enjoyed our debate!!

I am sorry my thread has been hi-jacked but in this case I am not guilty! However, I am apparently not loving and kind enough - I must try harder.

This is a very strange thread!
I don't like the way it's going either.
Try looking at the midland meet one and you'll get a much better idea of us

Oh my goodness. I have just joined the forum tonight and I can't believe this. Please tell me that it isn't always like this, otherwise I will just stick with the telly!

Thank you for your interest, Daman, I will try very hard to be kinder and more loving.

Thank you Faye I have reported it to admin lets hope they stay away now.

Thank you all very much for your support.

So why not let it go? Both of you. I would not have had the slightest interest in what went on in another forum had the quarrel not been continued onto this one.

On this forum we try not to carry cross words from one thread to another. Carrying it from one forum to another does seem like a continuing vendetta.

greatnan is correct in what she says, "nobody has mentioned another site by name and we are entitled to recount our own experiences."

grannygrace and curlycut it appears you are following anneandgraham onto this site from another. I think you have done this before and it is bullying.

Okay ladies judge me as you will,but the truth will out.I have no axe to grind with anyone,obviously Im not allowed to have an opinion. I dont stand in judgement on anyone,neither do I give a damn.

Thanks Ana and Merlotgran

Sorry, grannygrace but I haven't a clue what you're talking about. Surely I can't be the only one who doesn't know (or care) which forum you're referring to.

I think grannygrace has posted on here before - but only on this subject. She obviously has an axe to grind, and to pursue someone like this is disgraceful. You have my every sympathy, Anne!

Totally agree Whenim 64 maybe you would care to look at that post Grannygrace

Hello lovely people I am back.
Thank you all for the comments to me and about me since Thursday. All comment is valuable to help me understand myself.
So.
How far has Greatnan moved her situation since starting the thread on Thursday morning? I think she moved a little, and if we give more love and understanding to her then she in turn may give more of it.

And: the diversion to gillybob seems to have helped her work some things through.
Let us all love and respect ourselves first. How can we help others if we are weak and not lifted by love?

Become robust with caring for yourself, then you will be stronger to help and understand others.

Well Anne can go and openly state who these people are then cant she,come on none of us are that naive there are 2 popular granny sites and this is one of them. Anyway from her post I/we know exactly which forum she means.

well said Great nan !!

It is not obvious to me!

Nobody has mentioned another site by name and we are entitled to recount our own experiences.

Anneandgraham, it has really saddened me to read your posts,it must be obvious to everyone which forum you refer to. I have quoted your views on the said forum for people to read. I can say without doubt you have recieved nothing but support on the said forum everyone has been fair and unbiased. Perhaps you want to go over and name the bullies you say exist on there. And to imply the forum is badly managed well thats very derogratory. Im sure admin will be really pleased to hear this after all the support they have shown you. For all you other ladies on here who I havent yet got to know,please let me just say these are false claims posted by someone who sounds bitter. Everyone on every forum will have different views and opinions on everything in the universe,but if we all agree to disagree without nastiness and rancour then that is a good thing. I am stunned at what I have read posted by Anneandgraham,I sincerely hope she can back up her claims.

I am a new member on this site but I don't think it helps slagging off another site usually there are two sides to a story and it does't help new members like me to stay on this site very dissappointed with this site

Whether or not something is actual bullying can be quite subjective, and so much rests on the feelings of the person being 'bullied'. Unlike the Headteacher who says 'there is no bullying at my school' I believe there will always be a degree of bullying in any school, workplace or forum.

What I have found in the short time I've been posting on GN is that the majority of GNetters are very human and supportive. But I do know what you are talking about anneand
