Has anyone on GN got the right to give private information about you?

Surely not. People on GN should have the right to anonimity, unless they choose to divulge any private information, be it about profession, locality, ethnicity, or whatever.

Secondly, should any information given in a PM be fair game to share to other members? Surely not.

This feels like a nasty pile-on. Offputting, particularly alongside a number of other posts in the past week (and doubtless much longer).

Presumably, however, the site owners feel that their advertisers are happy with the number of users, and don’t check the content or tone of the forums.

Just a a very average human with my own thoughts and feelings about stuff and I never do as I'm told and place importance on individuals not what the masses tell me to think

Of that's an MO...

I love it

As per usual VioletSky your modus operandi is to swerve the information/ facts that are shown to you, why is that?
It’s because you don’t / won’t accept what several posters have told you.

My MO?

Lol

Agree with Gagajo

This is a horrible read

And it's always the same people that do it. You should be ashamed.

GagaJo Tue 13-Dec-22 13:57:54

I'm assuming I know the person you're all referring to. And to be honest, I think you're all wrong.

And to make assumptions, and give information about an old GN member as if it is definitely a new GN member is wrong.

And the attitudes! All because you disliked the prior GN member. It's back to bullying again and frankly, you're all too old to be behaving that way. It's one of the reasons people leave this site.

The point is:

It's no one's business

The OP made it everyone’s business when they started this thread.

Except, the OP has chosen to make it everyone’s business by starting this thread and not very nice of her to lay the blame of others recognising her on one particular poster leaving everyone guessing who she is referring to.
No one contacted me to reveal who the OP is/was, it was immediately obvious. 🙇‍♀️

kittylester Tue 13-Dec-22 13:43:10

I recognised her too. I didn't think it was a secret.

Marydoll Tue 13-Dec-22 13:40:46

I'm another who recognised the OP, her style is so recognisable. I thought most posters did too. However, I really have no interest in why she felt the need to do it.
I know I would be instantly recognisable, so no point in bothering.

Fleurpepper seems a nice person and undeserving of all this unnecessary nonsense

The OP has inferred that a poster has divulged private information which has led others to speculate that one amongst us is a snitch and yet nobody can work out what this highly sensitive 😱 information is.

SueDonim Tue 13-Dec-22 13:34:23

I am utterly baffled as to what this thread is about. Mind you, that goes for about 90% of my life nowadays! grin

I’m clueless!

kircubbin2000 Tue 13-Dec-22 13:13:30

Can anyone tell me what this is about?

Kalu Tue 13-Dec-22 12:25:07

What you thought was a secret Fleurpepper, actually wasn’t a secret. Many of us recognised you immediately, style of writing, turn of phrase plus change of username over the years, it wasn’t difficult to recognise you.
Unless you have absolute proof one individual poster has shared your secret, you are out of order placing all blame on whichever poster you are alluding to.
This is farcical.

nanna8 Tue 13-Dec-22 11:48:33

Yes doodle dog, good comments and I agree when you put it like that.

MerylStreep Tue 13-Dec-22 11:39:42

Nobody has broken the confidence of another poster. A lot of us on here know the op from many years back. She has told us where she lives, why she lives there, why she came to live in the uk, her husband’s profession, her career, her children, her relatives in America, her students who come to stay.
She has often told us about personal finance problems ( who does that 😳) Brexit related.
There’s more on here but you get my drift.

Let's not forget this thread about someone breaking the confidence of another GN member. Anything else is speculation.

But is it?

dragonfly46 Tue 13-Dec-22 11:07:18

I am still not sure what this post is about. Can't really say I care either. If the OP has a problem she should take it up with the powers that be.

Yes Urms I think we would 'out' you very quickly. Just keep on doing what you are doing as you come across as fun and friendly.

I cannot say the same for the OP.
