Hello absent, lovely to see you posting, although yes, it's rather an odd time on GN at the moment.
If this thread may be deleted, then perhaps I might say that GN always seemed a but kinder, less sweary and aggressive than MN but I think we may have had a few new posters, perhaps from MN, who have changed the atmosphere somewhat.
the oldies older people are the demographic which GN is aimed at, surely? The name gives a clue. It's not an exclusive club but that is the aim, I thought.
A lot of people are suffering at the moment and may need a place to come for comfort, answers, to widen their views or just fun.
It's interesting to read the views of others but if I want to read the views of younger people, I could go on to Mumsnet or listen to my children or other younger people I know.
suziewoozie DH always says that if you have to swear at someone, then you've lost the argument.
However, I do realise that that is how some people speak normally and it means nothing to them.
