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.

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

I thought it was hypotheticalconfused

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

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.

The point is:

It's no one's business

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.

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

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

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. 🙇‍♀️

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

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.

GagaJo Tue 13-Dec-22 13:58:24

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

MerylStreep Tue 13-Dec-22 13:59:54

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.

VioletSky Tue 13-Dec-22 14:00:40

Agree with Gagajo

This is a horrible read

My MO?

BlueBelle Tue 13-Dec-22 14:03:13

I m totally and utterly thick, thick, thick havent a clue who fleur is, haven’t a clue what’s she’s been outed about, in fact I haven’t a clue about anything and I come on every day for the last 11/12 years 😲🤣

VioletSky Tue 13-Dec-22 14:04:16

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

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.

No pile on just members defending whoever it might be who has been accused of divulging private information that might or might not have been given in a PM.

Marydoll Tue 13-Dec-22 14:25:19

I don't understand why this thread was started in the first place.
The OP should have reported the person in the first place and let GNHQ deal with it.
Threads like this only cause speculation and suspicion and usually end in tears.

MerylStreep Tue 13-Dec-22 14:31:21

How true Marydoll as we have witnessed at least 4 times in my memory.

Oreo Tue 13-Dec-22 14:32:39

It’s funny tho,
Secrets, betrayals, nappies on washing lines, conspiracy theories.😂
Why was it started? Where’s OP gone? Who are we all?
I would say to OP don’t tell private stuff on forums cos it always comes back to bite you on the bum.I think it was Confucius who once said that and he was never wrong.

Urmstongran Tue 13-Dec-22 14:33:59

That’s one big all encompassing leap GagoJo.
You don’t speak for me.

I didn’t then & don’t now. 👋

Exactly. Par for the course with a select number of members unfortunately.
