Roadside memorial bouquets

Good grief, I don't know about a naughty step or slapped wrists but all this nasty snipping etc on what could be an interesting post. Every time I leave GN for a week in the hopes that people will stop being horrible, I see something like this. I'm off!!!

You must admit the thread's been going on for some time now. It's a bit done to death. (No pun intended)

I wonder if HQ have got a little bell on their off-duty computer that rings when someone posts something naughty late at night.

I hope I didn't get Geraldine or Cari out of bed.

Interesting how very far this thread has strayed from the OP. I suggest that it should be laid to rest, without roadside flowers.

May I just make it clear that I do not send aggressive pms to anybody. I think Aka could have asked for clarification in a less demanding way and I would have been happy to apologise for my failure to analyse every word in my post.

If someone thinks that they have had an aggressive pm, then the best way to deal with it is to publish it in full on the thread. Then there is no ambiguity about what has been said, and no chance of veiled but unspecified accusations poisoning the atmosphere.

If the pm is indeed aggressive and bullying, then the whole of Gransnet will join in condemning it. If it is not, the sender will not be tarred with vague suspicions. There was a spate of nasty pms a little while ago, which led to peopleleaving, some of them because they were so hurt, some because they were asked to go. Please don't let the forum get into all that again.

I think it best to always assume the was no harm intended when abrupt remarks appear. We're all different with different ways and opinions, but I think basically nice people. It's just some are more forthright than others.

When I said about "upsetting her ladyship" that was not referring to aka. Just thought I should make that clear. And I don't send nasty pm' s. Ever.

And if one was sent to me, I would put it online where it belongs - in sight of the moderators.

And this has nothing to do with people hiding their roadside tribute flowers in too much wrapping

How about wrapping up this thread?

As I said, Galen at 10.57. Great minds...

I think we can guess to whom you were referring , jingle - the usual target?
I won't be posting on this thread again - unless I am forced to defend myself.

(sorry)

just tell me why Aka's a panda please [appealling face]

Sorry, Ma'am........

!

Meanie!

Nfk Some, and the strange thing is they are a lovely orangey colour , but just so adorable.

Jo , saucebox !!

Off to Livingston soon , then starting our curve into Wyoming , on the way round to Colarado

That took some understanding but I finally gathered you meant baby bison?

Galen , you may go to the top of the class , probably should have been clearer , but heyho , thats me !!

[smirk]

It's all to do with ambiguity in language JO albeit this was not about punctuation.

why I'm a panda

Nonu Agree they are soooo cute. A few years ago we did a circuit from Grand Canyon, Arches, Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone and lots on between. Wonderful! Enjoy!

Aka I'm thick, please make allowances and explain further.

I thought it meant you were an endangered species.

That's a dodo?
