Troll hunting and thread deletions

Wow Phoenix I must be so naive, can't believe what happened to you - sounds like you had a GN stalker. My word, there are some real weirdos aren't there? And Charleygirl5 I so agree with your last comment.

Phoenix I continue to be stunned and perplexed as to why somebody would sit at home, reading Gransnet threads and suddenly get the inspiration to write a snidey pm to anyone, on any subject. But it it spirals me into an even deeper sense of bafflement as to why they would take it a few steps further and actually track you down and then write to your employer to report on whatever it was that they felt was worthy of his attention. I have to wonder who I'm actually mixing with on GN and whether the people that I think I'm having a reasonable discussion, or sharing banter with, is actually a mentally deranged psycho that, irl, I'd avoid like the plague.

phoenix I remember the lengths you went to attempting to find that person but no joy. She did a lot of underhand work sussing you out, finding out where you lived and worked and then carried out her nastiness.

In fairness GNHQ were fabulous, helping you at every turn and your ex-boss was also so good. I wonder if that woman is still around on GN or if she left thinking she had done her very best to get you sacked?

I will be upfront but there are some vicious bitches around.

Doodle! I would have you know I have a (horse) riding lesson booked for Wednesday, and will need to use a mounting block in order to get my leg over. Once aboard, I'm fine.

Although dismounting is still a tad disconcerting!

phoenix the letter you mention was before my time on GN. Even with all I’ve read recently, I find it hard to believe someone would take information from GN and write to your employer. That is dreadful. What an awful sneaky thing to do. I do hope your boss at the time paid no attention to it.

My goodness phoenix respect to MrP . You require a block and tackle to mount ?

Chewbacca, I feel that sometimes they are not "trolls" just cowardly members.

Some may remember that a a GN member sent an anonymous letter to my boss (now dead) which can have had only one intention, to get me sacked.

I’m so sorry you’ve had to manage this marydoll, I can only hope GN take the post seriously and support you.

Unlikely that they will kittylester; if they didn't have the guts to post their opinion on the appropriate thread, it's unlikely that they'll have the guts to own up to their cowardice. That's what trolls are like isn't it?

Charleygirl Ive never used the ‘f word ‘ either. Or the ‘C word’ as you said, these words just don't come to mind and Id feel uncomfortable saying them. I do use some very mild swear words though.

Ab, but that they would, kitty, but that they would.

Maybe the poster should name themselves then.

But, as I said at the time, why? It is a fact. It's not troll hunting etc. It is stating a fact.

Oh Doodle of course I meant "sitting room" bloody auto correct again!

What I'm doing on Wednesday will probably require a block and tackle!

kitty, if she did, the post would be deleted, as I know too well!

Marydoll, I think you should name the coward.

I have reported myself, folks. I had to tell someone. ?

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse.

I haven't at any point identified the poster.

Marydoll What an awful thing to happen and to you of all people. I hope that you can put it behind you and just remember the special day.

Sorry, my post to Grannynannywanny crossed with Marydoll's, it seems rather inappropriate now

phoenix cor aren’t you posh. You have a room where you wear suits. Do you have different suits for different times of day, like morning dress and dinner suits? How grand.
When you do your mounting on Wednesday, will you be getting your leg over? Do you get a stiff git for that? ?

How awful Marydoll. To send a PM like that is a cowardly thing to do and completely unjustified. Unfortunately the thread will probably be deleted now and all evidence of it removed.

I'm shocked, Marydoll.

If you report the pm to GNHQ then I hope they will take steps to ban these vicious, cowardly posters who send nasty pms.

It would be a good thing if they could be named and shamed but, of course, you would then be the one in trouble.

marydoll whoever sent you that awful PM obviously has no idea how ill you’ve been and what your life has been like since the start of Lockdown. Why people feel the need to comment so unpleasantly on other people’s lives amazes me. I am so sorry you were upset and it spoilt your day.
You have always said what a lovely chap your SIL is, why someone would write that I don’t understand.
