To think William Morris and Gransnet are poles apart

As GN’s unofficial Morris Correspondent I was intrigued by this too!

Re deletions.
They delete what they see fit.
We just have to suck it up!

I take it this was your recent thread about Prince William and family? I guess it’s been deleted. I didn’t post on it as the subject doesn’t interest me, but it appeared the majority of posters didn’t like it. it’s tough, but that’s life.

At least it adds a bit of variety.
Make a change from the old ‘spirit of Gransnet’ ?

I blame Jane Morris. She’s got wind of you posting FannyC and trying to sabotage

You and we know that it wasn’t deleted because of the William Morris quote though trisher. In the immortal words of Elsa, - Let it go. .

Some of the GN threads are useful.

I don’t think many of them come across as beautiful.

I agree it was a rather silly way to describe threads.

Also, I have stuff in my home that is neither useful or beautiful, but it doesn’t make me get rid of them.

I have some William Morris curtains, that are both useful and beautiful. However, I fail to see the relevance on GN.

Another of their favourites is ‘not doing anyone any favours’

As "not in the spirit of GN" is now old hat maybe they are looking for new suggestions.
I like your idea Farzanah perhaps they could use"Jane Morris doesn't like it"

Are you LadyLeft!?

I’ll be the ‘Assistant Unofficial GN Morris Correspondent’ then!

How wonderful!
You haven't noticed any GNHQ moderators lurking around have you?

I wish they would intervene on the threads that are obviously trolls. Its driving me crazy.

I think WM and GN are very similar.
We swoop on the not so rich pickings, devour them, strut about, squeak and sqwark, spit them out, then flounce off into the blue.

Maybe they are thinking of that unofficial addition to the useful and beautiful, "which you love" ? We all have things that are neither beautiful nor useful, but we value them just the same.

Some threads have value, some are valueless but we still love them, particularly if we started them. It is just that posters' judgment of what to love or value differs from person to person. We aren't all the same!

I'm off to examine my WM mugs

Yes, of course, they are relevant and there is a link because I often have a cup of coffee in one when I browse Gransnet.

Love is enough: though the World be a-waning, and the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining.

also I thought my fact that his rage was so wild it would provoke him to have seizures was apt too surely they were limbic seizures though in todays money

I always seem to miss the controversial threads!

JaneJ I’ve got the JL Wm Morris dog bed; dog bowl and dog toy all in Hawthorn print

awww does anything ever beat his prints? I like the Charles Voysey ones too but he was part of the same movement
