It was on the News and Politics forum.

Was it because of the subject or because it was in the wrong place?

We have had threads in the past about banned or suspended posters which haven’t been deleted. What is the difference this time?

All the other forums I’m on have a pm facility so why should it not be allowed on here. They also allow people to amend*or remove their posts but it seems gransnetters aren’t responsible enough to do that…
*even though it might allow people to remove something they may regret posting or amend it if they think they didn’t make the point they were making clear enough.

Yes.
I'd remove my posts on this very thread because they appertained to some comments on the previous deleted thread so made no sense at all on this thread! 😆
I just needed somewhere to say it honestly, but with hindsight, I realise my words probably confused the issue more, ie not making the point clear enough.

A new thread about Christmas cards has just started.
A poster whose user name is Whitewavermark2 has posted on the thread.
Is this the same person people are talking about here?

Christmas cards already?
We haven't had Bonfire Night yet!!

Who is this poster?

It will probably get deleted anyway because it's a thread about a thread.
