What can and can't be posted on GN

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

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.

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

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 ......?

But which one Lemon? Me? Or Smileless?

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

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

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

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

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

Chewbacca sorry

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!

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

''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.

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

I used to make sock puppets for my DC

Perhaps we could have a thread about that?

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

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

The F word is allowed.

GN low standards imo

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!

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

kittylester me too!
What? When? Who?

Macramè- are you teaching it * trisher*
Something I've always wanted to try! I could hang plants all round my conservatory just like the 1960s

Some threads should have been deleted imo but I missed that one, it can't have been as bad as some surely, where a poster was being unmercifully bullied.

I think that my problem, kircubbin2000, may be to do with the fact that Google doesn't differentiate now between googlemail and gmail, but GN does! It was never my intention to have two personas - I can barely cope with one!!

Not boring at all, Tangerine. I like measured and fair responses - they are what keep a meaningful and worthwhile discussion going.

I confess that I am feeling a little guilty at the moment on the subject of two usernames. I am not posting under my usual username - for some reason which I cannot fathom GN has defaulted me back to one I used ages ago and which I was forced to abandon, and now it won't accept my current one, which I've got used to. GNHQ is being very patient trying to sort it out for me, but meanwhile I feel somewhat disorientated!

I guess people recognise the way a post is phrased. Not sure that I would but, if you really wished to do so, perhaps it is possible.

I think there are specific tools that exist to examine text and detect who wrote something but suspect no-one has gone to such lengths!
