What can and can't be posted on GN

Fennel that is ridiculous. Hitler existed. Fact
No-one can airbrush him out of history

How can you have 2 separate names and who would know anyway. You would need a new email address I think.

That's what Smileless and I kept saying kircubbin, but we weren't believed by a couple of new posters who were adamant that we were "sockpuppets". Even when GNHQ posted assurances that we are 2 genuine, long standing members, the accusations continued. Not worth arguing about!

The F word is allowed.

GN low standards imo

Sorry Fennel I didn't realise.

It was just too much wasn't it Chewbacca Mr. S. and I had to google what a 'sock puppet' was because we had no idea

Neither had I Smileless! But every day's a school day on GN!

I used to make sock puppets for my DC

Perhaps we could have a thread about that?

What, with Smileless on one hand and me on the other Callistemon? Like these?

''I think there has been enough tripe for one day''

now that kind of tripe I can't take at all ...

but I am great at macramé for sure.

They're lovely, Chewacca
And I'm sure they're an excellent likeness

Callistemon* sorry it is so long since I did any macrame I don't think I could teach anyone.
I do like sock puppets and I've made a lot.
jura2 you're the macrame master!

Chewbacca sorry

GranE, I feel that tripe is a contentious topic. Too much for Gransnet. Someone is sure to take offense.

I'm the pretty pink one on the left Callistemon.
Smileless is the cross eyed green one on the right!

Chewbacca ? those sock puppets are so cute ...I want one.

Ooh couldn't that be construed as a personal remark? Should I report it????

But which one Lemon? Me? Or Smileless?

Think carefully now.........!

You are right GagaJo, it is a little controversial.

Do you think it is ok to talk about dishes which get full of hot air and all puffed up when heat is applied, like souffles and bread and ......?

Well I for one do not want to be nannied by HQ. We are adults with a lot of life experience, I'm sure we can cope with unpleasant or argumentative posts. If a thread is not to our liking then we don't need to be involved with it.
Surely we don't want a bland, little old lady website.
Just for the record I hate tripe

It should be said ( for those who fortunately missed it) that it was a thread on anti-semitism ....which had quite a few....shall we say thoughtless in the extreme, remarks aimed at the Chief Rabbi and Jewish people, with many denials about problems in the LP.

This whole thread is, yes! A thread about a thread once again.

No, no, no Chewbacca I am the pretty one in pink on the left and you are cross eyed one on the right

Smileless; I'll fight you for it!

Honestly you two, what are you like! ?

Sodapop, Well I for one do not want to be nannied by HQ. We are adults with a lot of life experience, I'm sure we can cope with unpleasant or argumentative posts. If a thread is not to our liking then we don't need to be involved with it. Surely we don't want a bland, little old lady website. Just for the record I hate tripe smile

Couldn't agree more! I know there are people who I will violently disagree with and who will violently disagree with me. I'll say my opinion, which will be non-racist/discriminatory, because that is my determined world view and then retire. Because, frankly, I can't be arsed arguing about the nth degree of a topic when it's already been covered.

And for the record, I have EATEN tripe, in Catalonia. I pretended to myself I didn't know it was tripe to enable me to quash my gag reflex, and honestly, it was pretty tasteless, albeit covered in tomato and garlic. But it WAS very greasy so won't be repeating the experience.

Don't knowwhat you are talking about lemon this is not a thread about a thread, it is obviously a thread about puppets and other pastimes suitable for old ladies.

My MIL used to cook tripe and onions, the smell was awful but I had to eat some to show respect (we did in those days!). It was awful. I did eventually dare to tell er I didn't like it.
