Please GNHQ ... would you consider letting *EllanVannin* come back to this site?

I’ve just reported my last post in the hope that the thread will receive some attention and feedback.

Could we please hear from GNHQ why EV has been banned?

I’d also like to add my support and request EV to be reinstated, there’s really no need for a lifetime ban.
Please GNHQ can you reconsider and reinstate. There’s so much support for this lady who does so much for others

*Ellan dyslexia strikes again

Please add my name to those wishing for EV to be reinstated. I too think lifetime bans are a rather draconian way of dealing with posters. Please reconsider your decision GN, as you can see EV has many supporters.

Yes, I rarely, if ever agreed with EV but a life time ban?!

❤️ that DillytheGardener very clever!

I too would love to see EV back with us. A lifetime ban for an 81 year old seems incredibly harsh. I enjoyed her posts, please let her rejoin.

I had a difference of opinion with EllanVannin when she first joined but it was just that - a difference of opinion.

It happens in RL too and I don't ban people from my life because we think differently about something.

It is a harsh judgement.

I’m late to this particular thread- but would also wish that EV was reinstated. As she’s 81 and living alone, I can’t understand why she was given a lifetime ban in the first place, for whatever it was she did, most probably unintentionally.
I’ve often thought of EV when Ive had crumpets for brekkie, and whenever my grand-daughter asks for a hot chocolate it triggers EV’s warm and friendly Good Morning posts. Let her back please.
PS please stop with the lifetime bans -we’re all grown ups and if someone posts something we disagree with we can give our opinion or just ignore, surely.

She reduced me to tears and caused me to leave GN for a period of time due to her homophobia but I still would agree to her coming back, especially if, as people say it is a source of support to her.

I joined GN in January and have read so much about EllanVannin. Here's hoping there will soon be a post from GNHQ commenting that they have read about all the support this lady has. Many miss her.

If there a kind spirit somewhere at HQ, please reinstate EllanVannin.

I can only remember EV from her posts about her anxiety about the covid vaccine, and I support her being allowed to return. Whatever she said surely it wasn’t so terrible as to warrant a lifetime ban.

It seems strange that GNHQ have not responded to this thread. Are they all off on a Christmas jolly? I am another who thinks the ban is OTT. It's like giving someone a life sentence for speaking out of place ( and most of us don't even know what she is alleged to have said!)

Come on HQ!

I don’t think they read them regularly. As in reporting posts I think they may need to be alerted to this thread.

Btw I certainly didn’t report her. I have never made a report apart from obvious spam.

I echo a request for EV to be allowed to return; especially as other posters who were banned for bullying and long standing poor behaviour have been allowed to return. EV may have had opinions that didn't always chime with others but, if that's the basis of being banned; there wouldn't be many of us left. If a ban can be lifted for some posters, it's only fair to let EV back.

Thanks for starting this, I completely agree, bring lovely EV back, she kind and caring, with a great sense of humour, and sadly missed.

I don't know anything about EV and was ready to support her return . Have seen now she was posting homophobic posts! I have thought long and hard about this and can probably forgive her due to her age .
However , had I read those homophobic comments I would have been extremely upset indeed!
Very odd the HQ are not responding!!???

To be fair it was only in response to me as far as I know and I am happy for her to come back.

Another vote here for Ellan to be allowed back on Gransnet. I miss her too.
