Jingle

I'm looking for the like button merlot

Jingl, my old adversary. What on earth have you done, happy birthday anywayx

GN isn't the same without you Jings

Belated but Many Happy Returns

Happy Birthday Jings, as has been sa¡d, you are sadly missed by us all xx

Slightly off topic but, in the spirit of absent friends, granjura sends greetings to those who might remember her.

I think HQ are very mean spirited not to allow Jing back, if that was the case. Yes she ruffled feathers but it was fun to have her there.

Hello to Granjura I hope she went of her own volition.

Hello too to Granjura. I don't go to Geneva often now. I miss her encouragement.

Yo! Jings! Was the cake good? ?

When I saw Jingle on the thread I thought she was back again - but no!! What a disappointment!

Glad you had a lovely birthday anyway jings and many happy returns - in every way!

Jings - you made me feel welcome and "normal" and gave me the impetus to post on GN - have missed your pithy comments so much and have not bothered with GN much since you left. Happy birthday you old boot.

Cake was delicious thanks Baggs.

Shite!!! I didn't say that.

Tsk. Here comes trouble ...

Ssssshhhhh!

? will you ever be allowed out the naughty corner(hope so)

Even real criminals get parole, or time off for good behaviour. So it is about time Jings case was reviewed, I think. After all this is GN not the penal system

So, I am going to address the elephant in the room (hello Mr Elephant) ... I only overlapped with Jings for a short while the first time I joined GN over a year ago, but she nearly stopped me from staying for good.

I encountered this 'whirlwind' who could be very spikey, deliberately provocative and rude, and, unfortunately, at times, malicious. If dear Jings was ever called out on her atrocious behaviour there was an army of supporters who either made excuses for her where sometimes her behaviour was inexcusable, or actually joined in with her lead.

Mischief is one thing. And *Jings, I truly did see the humour - sometimes - but people seem to forget there was also a lot of plain nastiness too, quickly followed by an injured' What have I done?' if people reacted badly.

Jings, honestly, you presented as a troubled person who needed to show more care and you hurt and upset a lot of people. Have I missed some aspects of the 'biting' humour / sarcasm / opinion? ...well, you added spice for sure, but I think people have very short memories and are in danger of turning you into a GN legend for all the wrong reasons.

Welcome back indeed if you can curb the nastiness that sometimes dominated, but I cannot join in the great 'celebration' wholeheartedly. I hope you can understand what went wrong for you - and those you took to needling in the past. I do think you have a great wit, but I do hope, if you are coming back to us, that it is less sharp in future.

One question, I'mperfect27

What happened to the other 26?

I can't agree, Imperfect. Perhaps I shared the same humour as Jings, but I never saw the deliberate nastiness you saw. I see it now on far too many threads in one or two GNers who have neither wit nor style, just a determination to put others down.
