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

I must be ever so busy as I don't even know who the absent prolific posters are

Paddyann this post was started because the OP had been in touch with Ellan and yes she does read posts and yes she would like to come back.

I support the reinstatement of EllanVannin

I have always thought GN was a friendly supportive site and find the lifetime ban of an 81yr old lady totally without heart.

No support if your down and make comments about things you do not like or agree with? Give her a reinstatement she seems to have brought a ray of sunshine to a lot of lives. We should all be free to say what we feel or what is the point of the forum.

EV is very capable of standing her ground, a fact one poster realised and took the cowards way out by reporting EV!
Banned for a justifiable response is not a reason to treat someone like a naughty child.
I remember the thread well and nothing EV posted deserved a lifetime ban! I have noticed a lot worse from other posters who still have the freedom unjustly taken from EV.

I do hope you are reading this thread GNHQ and realise the difficulties this poster is having to cope with, made worse without the support of many friends on GN. Have a heart and redress your decision to take what was a lifeline to a longstanding poster.

She didn’t do anything wrong, she just had a different opinion on some subjects and thank god she had the strength of spirit to voice them.

Hear, hear.

Kamiso I hope you're on the mend now. that sounds rather frightening.

I am late to this thread, but wish to add my voice to the requests for EV to be reinstated.
Particularly as a poster who was offended by some of her remarks, also supports her reinstatement.

I certainly didn’t agree with some of EV’s comments, but I don’t think a lifetime ban is the right solution here.

dragonfly46 sorry but I've read right through the thread and cant see anyone who says they've been in touch with her and who knows she wants to come back .Might be an idea to find out before the poor woman feels she has to come back because of this thread when she might prefer not to

Urmstongran is definitely in touch with EV

They have spoken on the phone this week, which is why Urms started this thread.

I’m all for having her back.

That’s great * glammanana*, wish her well and if it is allowed, give us an update.

Kamiso I do hope you recover and are able to return home soon.

What thread, can you give us a little clue and put us out of our misery ?

Apologies paddyanne I perhaps ought to have mentioned that I found her phone number, written down last year and rang her a few days ago. I was anxious in case she’d had a bad atrial fibrillation again and was so relieved when she answered the house phone! She would LOVE to come back to GN. She hasn’t joined any other forum and said she really misses so many of us that she’d felt she’d got to ‘know’.
?
Thanks GG13 for explaining. ?

Please add my name to reinstate EV.

And mine!

I would like to see her allowed back too.

Adding my name to the thread as well.

It does occur to me that if one banned poster is given a reprieve then everyone else who has been banned should also be given an amnesty. I assume there are others who would like to return?

Perhaps people can put forward other names?

Otherwise this does seem very biased?

We don't know who's been banned unless someone is in touch off GN, though.

People disappear for all kinds of reasons too.

Did you have a particular poster in mind, Whitewwave? Do you want to start another thread?

Otherwise this does seem very biased?

biased is not the word I'd use, but it is specific.

That sounds a sensible way forward wwm. Season of goodwill and all that.

No I haven’t a clue who is or isn’t banned.

But it occurred to me that GN will leave themselves wide open if they give into pressure without giving consideration to others who have been banned.

It would seem terribly unfair imo. Not balanced.

Please start another thread if you would WWmk2 as I really would like this one to be specific and supportive in regard to EV’s ban and would prefer not to muddy the waters by general debate.

WWM2 have there been many people banned for life?
Someone was really horrible to me a couple of years ago and was reported (not by me). I can’t remember now who she was or whether she was banned from the site. I did suspect that she returned with a different name.

One of the posters who was banned, (the only person I have ever reported) trolled the site relentlessly, taking numerous identities, pretending to be a worker on zero hour contracts during the pandemic etc etc, on threads like this they would advise others how to avoid a ban. I dont want them back thanks very much. This is not EV I am talking about just to make this clear. I absolutely dont want everyone who was banned to be reprieved. Would that include the person who trolled the GM threads by talking about sex (I am being polite here).
