Though I've got no way of proving that. Although I think we have been on the same thread at times.

Would that prove it? confused

I was accused of being johanna last September. A poster said the style was the same. And both names started with 'j'. grin

(I'm not johanna)

I'm sure they could if they were clever/crafty enough.

People can use different names, but they can't change their style!

I think the poster cropped up later in a different thread and made a similar comment, though watered down.

It was a repeat of what has been said before about bullying and v.iwuey but under an unknown name!

O.K. I did not see it but I get the drift.

I would have liked to have seen it for myself though to know if I thought it was worth shutting it down. It did sound interesting and I am guessing it was recent.

Thanks

You didn't miss much nel

Littlenellie Fri 24-Aug-12 10:09:51

And I am just plain nosy ,and miffed I missed it DOH...grin

Greatnan Fri 24-Aug-12 09:57:23

It gave me a good laugh, so I was glad to have seen it.

Josie Josi

No. Can't remember.

JO4 Fri 24-Aug-12 09:55:09

Should Josi have an 'e'?!

JO4 Fri 24-Aug-12 09:54:25

See, now I don't understand why it took Josi so long to delete it after she had said she was going to. Gave a lot of people time to have a look and wonder.

Can't they do it quicker?

Or maybe she really couldn't remember how to.

I too read the OP and thought that it was a recipe for disruption and was pleased that HQ was on the ball that morning. If the title of the thread had been less explicit about its intentions, if it had been more bland, then it might have got past the 'censor'.

Thanks for explaining bags and greatnan ....now I'm really speculating! I've not been posting on GN for long but have already met some characters. Some people whose views I disagree with, some who make me laugh, lots of empathy and lots of fury. But isn't that what it's all about? hmm

Greatnan Fri 24-Aug-12 08:20:15

Because we read it before it was deleted.

Bags Fri 24-Aug-12 08:18:55

I saw it, noticed HQ had posted on it, had a look and saw that they were going to delete it and why, thought 'silly twit' about the poster, and left it at that. I can't remember the title but it included words along the lines of bullying and sycophancy.

Nanadogsbody Fri 24-Aug-12 08:14:06

And how do you know this?

Nanadogsbody Fri 24-Aug-12 08:13:41

Fascinating...what was it called or are you it allowed to say?

Bags Fri 24-Aug-12 08:11:26

HQ deleted a thread that they felt, because of its title, was a deliberate attempt to start up a squabble. That's all.

Nanadogsbody Fri 24-Aug-12 08:03:32

Don't understand POGS

POGS Fri 24-Aug-12 00:59:20

Can someone please tell those of us 'not in the know' what thread and why G.N. has deleted a thread please. Obviously some G.N. feel confident to enter thread, I have not a clue and feel we all should know.
