Making extra work

the last three pages of this thread

Nobody called anybody a “pompous prick” Eloethan (a “knob” certainly) Grandad however found it acceptable to accuse individuals of lying, of hating men, of ridiculing their husbands, of breaching the Equalities Act, of somehow demeaning the Grenfell tower disaster, of prejudice, of being out of touch with reality,and to accuse the site in general of misandry.
Some of these comments were deleted as malicious and personal attacks so you may have missed them.
So “ganging up” is not exactly how I would describe it when the flak was flying in all directions. Are members not allowed to defend themselves?

My post was question to Grandad1943 before his last post was deleted.

I've just come back to this thread. There seems to be a lot of ganging up going on and, in my opinion, it's not very nice.

Calling someone a "pompous prick" is, I think, out of order.

Let's not kid ourselves that Gransnet was all sweetness and light until Grandad came along. It is mostly tolerant and kind but not always.

Why would you leave?
You are enjoying the sport!

Yes, I'm out.
It's been fun, and then not fun.

Better to abandon this thread before GNHQ delete it.

Trouble makers hate being ignored.

Chewbacca, unfortunately one person changed the direction of this thread?

Flippin 'eck! Last time I looked at this thread it was a fun, light hearted discussion that no one that mattered was taking too seriously. What's happened to change the mood so much? Such a shame.

Grandad, do you actually keep notes of what other GNers are posting so that you can produce them weeks or even months later to attack them with? If not, you must spend ages scrolling through past posts via GN’s clunky search facility. Either way, I find your behaviour unnerving.

Grandad1943 it is real life that couples often have irritations with one another due to habits and behaviours. It is also real life that a problem shared is a problem halved... realising others have experienced similar feelings can be comforting and put things into perspective.

I really do not think that equates to misandry. People are grumbling about their lover/companion not all men.

There is a growing militant men's movement to challenge misandry, particularly aimed at active feminists.

Phoenix understands that those of us who have 'known' her for years, are well aware of the loving and mutually respectful relationship she and Mr P share. Likewise many of us find maw to be intelligent, wise and supportive.
It will take more than the rantings of a discontented egotist to change these facts.
I sincerely suggest that we do deprive this thread of oxygen and allow the miscreant to shrivel in his own vacuum.

Grandad I was brought up with the saying "if you cannot say anything nice then do not say anything at all"

Some of your posts and your attitude to the members of this forum really try my sensibilities.

You seem to perceive everything in black or white, when in reality life is a rainbow of colour and opinion. Please try to be more aware of sense of humour and the sense of comoraderie that exists on this fabulous forum.

I ask again Grandad1943 do you consider yourself a Grandsnetter?
Or just consider GN as a bit of sport?

Real life ?? Real life - as shared on Gransnet - is humour, friendship, support, advice, empathy, understanding - not baiting and nastiness, unpleasant personal comments.....

You are the one totally out of touch with real life, grandad.
In real life people reach out to others; they support each other, they chat, sometimes on serious things but often about nothing in particular.
They help each other and give advice, as well as asking for it sometimes.
You do none of those things.
You leave a sour taste in the mouth of people who enjoy using the site, and its such a pity.

Grandad please can you stop being so nasty, this was a fun light hearted thread that you have misread and managed to manipulate, why????

Grandad1943 you were looking for a new hobby, and now you have found it.

However it would seem joining GN was not to inform yourself about style and make-up, relationship problems, health and medical advice, travel information or even just chat about family and grandchildren.
It was laugh and ridicule GNetters in front your offices comrades, point out what you thought to be amusing with mates down the pub.

You want to play linesman and wave your flag when you feel the a GN member has stepped out of line.

Please uncross your arms, step down from your high horse and join in with GN discussion.

A question for you Grandad1943
If asked by a colleague would you say you were a Gransnetter?

I don't think you consider yourself to be a Grandsnetter
GN is just a bit of sport.
Winding up Genuine Gransnetters .

Thank goodness that in real life I have never encountered any man who displays such self-importance and utter crassness.
Repeat your inane questions as much as you like but when you run out of banalities and bugger off there will be an audible cheer echoing through the ether!

Grandad1943, you still haven't said what you expect to get out of being a member of GN, I for one would be interested in finding out.

Most members here are looking to be entertained, informed, supported when neccessary.

Your posts don't seem to reflect any of those things, so I can only assume (and yes, I do know how that can be used) that your reason for being here is to annoy.

Well, if that is the case, your work here is done!

Now piss off and spread your poison elsewhere.

Still waiting for that evidence of me threatening you with legal action Mawbroon, just in case you have forgotten.

Would be a pity for others not to see on this forum when and how I made the above.

Strange, there was another forum member a only a few days back that stated I had made a "target" threat against her, and then could not produce any evidence of that when requested.

And then they try to state there is no misandry on this forum. Stark evidence in the above I believe.
