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.

Pile on

Childish
Is that what they mean by
At its heart is a buzzing forum where users debate the hot topics of the day, support each other through tough times and share a laugh ? confusedconfused

You can see where the problems are just by how people are talking to others on this thread and is who is using specific names on this thread to have a go at them personally

Like this, you mean?

Ah doodledog

Thanks for the reminder to ignore you

Who knows, Amber. Who knows.

Here's another earworm, in case anyone's in need of one

And I just find it a bit funny but others are really impacted by this sort of thing

From what I can work out… someone claims to be married to a quasi-famous man, the person they told in a DM referred to it on a thread? Is that it?

Elegran Sat 17-Dec-22 20:21:15

At heart this is a thread about a thread, though the exact thread(s) on which those tantalising confidences were allegedly revealed, and the posters who reveled them, has
ven't been identified. Those throwing accusations of unnamed vileness randomly about in the hope of the mud falling on specific individuals may find that the whole shebang suddenly vanishes if GNHQ realise that they are referring to other threads. Probably the best thing that could happen.

My biggest fan 💗

I didn’t say anything about you personally but you have made a personal post about me.

Your prerogative, obviously; but I am only doing what you have just said that you do - speaking up when there is a pile-on. The fact that there is no 'body' is not really the point. More than once there has been a thread where an unspecified poster has been the victim.

Why is it ok for you to' say something' but not me?

Does Gransnet know people have fan clubs?

Is that where pile ons come from?

I don't make threads about me, my fan club does

I just ignore them mostly

You have a fan club ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Somebody just say what this is about please.

Also I hate to see a pile on and usually say something

A few people on this thread can attest to that and it matters not what I think of them or what they think of me, I say something anyway

That's exactly what I am doing. Usually when I am out of the loop I just scratch my head, or ask someone to PM me, but this time I thought I'd do what many people said we should do the last time this sort of thing happened, and speak up.

I don't know what's going on, or who is being 'got at', so I'm less likely to say the wrong thing than if I had half an idea. I hope so anyway.

You got your own choirboy Smileless2012 ? Nice!

No !!

He's a fully-fledged reverend.
Honestly, believe me!

Please can you explain why you think I think this thread is about me?

I say what I think

And yes all the "that never happened" comments made me think of the narcissists prayer

It's the first line after all

I don't know why you made it about you. How could I? I pointed out in my previous post a few of the things you've said that suggested (in the absence of any concrete accusations) why you appear to think it is, but I can't do more than that.

I've never heard of the narcissist's prayer, I'm afraid.

Got mine yesterday Callistemon but only just seen it. I'm sure all recipients have reported it but thought I should report it too, although it's probably already been dealt with.

This nonsense really annoys me - when little in jokes or whatever are brought into a thread and then go off on a tangent. What is this about choir boys?? I find it really rude tbh and will leave you all to it

Oh, sorry!

Some of us have had a spam message from a Rev., tickingbird, offering us gold and a share if some dosh he can get hold of with our help.

At this rate it will only be a dollar each.
