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.

*Callistemon*grin yes I think you're thinking of DAVRO but this thread has become rather comical hasn't it.

I thought the same as you Meryl hanging on by its finger tips which is why it made me think of the tree people.

You're not tickingbird because there isn't a pile on.

What about Stick Man, Smileless?
I love Stick Man, he's my favourite.

Or the Magic Faraway Wood?

I've never noticed that Callistemon but don't be deterred, I'd love to see your interesting one about dishcloths. Didn't know they could be interesting so await with bated breathgrin.

I'm off to play fortnite

When one of my AC makes me a nan I'm going to be a fun nan, if not a cool one

Be a Gangsta Gran, it's great!! 😂

I re-learned crochet to make blankets for the babies that started arriving 8 years ago. A friend helped me re-learn the skill. She’d come round, we’d sit together with s cuppa. I’d make baby blankets. She makes crochet or knitted knockers for women who had a mastectomy but not ready for a proper prosthetic.
Very gangsta

Have you noticed that, if you try to post and someone posts a split second before, yours doesn't post?
(I blame you, Oreo)
My post was a very interesting one about dishcloths.

I am constantly amazed at GN …

What’s wrong or boring about crochet. What’s wrong with boring little old ladies?
Such a negative, nasty, cold, judgemental view of other women who don’t fit the exciting alternative gangsta view of others

I've taught myself to crochet during lockdown.

People and dogs seem to be very grateful for my efforts in this cold weather.

Although, having watched Gangsta Granny with a very young DGS, he said "She seems a bit like you, Granny" 😲
No, I've never been in the Tower of London, honest Guv!!

It stands for Deny, Attack and Reverse Victim and Offender Lucca.

Oh - I thought it was Bobby, a comedian?

Or is that DAVRO?

Hahaha. Still, better than miserable, boring little old ladies, crocheting doilies.

Just a pile on really.

Cool guys rule, sort of thing🙄

I wasn’t aware I was participating in a pile on; in fact I can categorically state I’m not.

I’ll leave you to it.

VioletSky Sun 18-Dec-22 19:02:18

I would not expect those who participate to see it

My inbox is a whole different story

Not that I am anyone's victim, that's just a tactic to get at me

I'm not bothered at all, I will point out a pile on whenever I see it even if it is one of the gang on the receiving end

It ruins the forum

I must be missing what you’re seeing because I can’t see what’s upsetting you so much. Why are people ganging up and what are they doing to look bad? I genuinely can’t see what you believe they’re doing.

You are only making yourselves look bad

Groundhog day, innit.

Lucca

Who or what is DARVO .?

They go on about it a lot on the trans thread. Which are largely ignored by others because it's same old, same old. Like here really.

Lucca Sun 18-Dec-22 18:57:30

Er… xcuse me I only just came on to say how bonkers it is. I haven’t had more than three glasses of wine in 3 months but I’m a bit tempted…..

Says, VS, adding to the thread and dragging it out. This is exactly what I'm talking about - double standards. How does it make me look bad, and not you?

But yes, it's gone on long enough. I think the point has been well and truly made.

Lucca I bought a hand knitted cotton one and it’s been brilliant. Never smells and comes out of wash as new.

It looks like it’s hanging on by it’s fingertips to me.

Sorry! I'm not helping, I know. I just find the hypocrisy a cross between amusing and amazing.
