I am putting this on a seperate thread...

separate. not seperate. #ageingbrain

???

I don't understand?

Is the heat affecting you jingl because that does not make sense to me.

I am sure it will make sense to the posters concerned. Others needn't bother.

Is this a segue from the terror attacks thread?

Bellanonna I would think so.

jingl, if someone else started a thread about another thread, however cryptic, you would probably be the first to point out that this infringes the rules of the site.

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, I don't think anybody's actual arguments were the point in question. Just a rather distasteful double act with some genuine posters caught in the middle.
If of course you are talking about something else entirely, then still

I will say again - four posts exchanged between me and Anya hardly constititues Bullying of the Highest Order. BTW Soutra, are you saying that we two are not 'genuine' posters?

Oh gosh yes anno! Forgot that! Never mind. As it's on Site Stuff the powers that be are bound to see it. And I think they still have a delete button.

No, Ana, I meant, but didn't express as clearly as I might, that their views were sincerely held, whether or not one agreed them.

I find myself in the unusual position of agreeing with both soutra and jingl at the same time.
I can fully understand why jingl's frustrations have spilled over onto a new thread and agree that 'bitching on a sensitive thread' is not acceptable. Better to comment this way even if it means a minor infringement of forum rules.
I too am fed up of some niggling and nit-picking comments.
If poster x says the sky is blue then poster y jumps in with a remark about the colour of the sky being green to every right-thinking (sic) person.
It is not compulsory to react immediately to every post you disagree with.
Take the many hints appearing here and tone it down or calm down!

I agree with Soutra. There does seem to be some who like playing both ends against the middle.

Pardon?

#getyereadroundthatthen

Haven't you heard that expression before jinglbellfrocks perhaps you have led a sheltered life. . I send you it will make things a lot clearer.

No! Never heard of it. Please make it some

is that better.

Thank you.

I love that expression Brenda! No idea what is going on but from the above comments, I can guess!

jingle; pots calling kettles springs to mind. Some of your comments aimed at me have rocked me to the core sometimes #andyou'realwaystellingpeoplelto'manup'

Do you mean me Brendawymms?

If you mean I dont take sides, yes you are right.

It seems to me that there are two "sides" on gransnet. Sometimes I happen to agree with one "side". And sometimes the other "side".

As I understand it though, this thread that jingl has started, has nothing whatsoever to do with that.

For what it is worth, I reported the Tunisia thread at about 7am this morning, to inform gransnet that it had all got rather heated in a number of ways.

I just get p----d off with the posters who 'continually' dish out posts that are easily noted as being barbed , sarcastic turning themselves into 'victims' when they receive a dose of their own medicine.

I then get p----d off when others join in who have clearly not read a thread from the start to see who actually started the ruddy mud slinging or why a poster might be getting a response they don't like.

There is a case for having to defend yourself against a truly nasty , personally directed post or one that is accusary without any basis, I understand that. Hells bells is sarcasm a reason to feel victimised, maybe if you are a narcissist who never gets anything wrong it is.

If they were a bloke I would tell them to 'grow a pair'.

You/we/I are not 'victims' we are supposed to be adults but if you start it/dish it out expect to get it back, it will inevitably be a response you won't like but just take it on the bloody chin or give a reply but don't result to the childish Nee Na Na Nana of victimisation.

This post does not apply to any one person, it couldn't because there is no one person it applies to.
