A like button?

I don't think it happens all of the time, or even frequently. Most gransnetters are too mature and decent to behave like that.

It happens occasionally and is spiteful and bullying behaviour that people should have grown out of decades ago.

"People" should also have grown out of putting forward unsupported opinions and expecting them to be treated as fact. They haven't though. They teach the difference in junior schools now. Other "People" find that both arrogant and rude.

I will express an opinion if I like Daisyanne.

Add the stamping feet and I would guess and eight-year old.

Do you realise that Troll hunting is against GN rules and they see people saying others have gathered togther off line as just that?

and an

No stamping feet here Daisyanne. Anyhow I'm not getting into tit for tat. It serves no purpose. We both have our views and have expressed them to each other. I'm leaving it there.

Better to read comments than have a like or dislike button.

Personally I love the slightly anarchic vibes of the upvote/downvote buttons on some discussion forums! It appeals to my Machiavellian instincts I think. And I do frequently comment! I don’t think that it would add much to Gransnet though, so probably best not!

No.

Nothing wrong with a like button but I would rather have an Agree button. I'm more likely to leave Gransnet because of comments and people's reactions with others opinions than because of a button.

I'm thinking this is suggested more and more as there's more flitting over here from mumsnet? Plainly speaking, i think if you're NOT a 'gran'(or step-gran,or adoptive gran) you should not be on here.?

And i bet there's a few of 'em would have been pressing a button right now?

And where should I head to Nannan2? ?

Maybe you should campaign for an 'eject' button, so that you can get rid of posters who don't suit your chosen demographic?

Hang on Fanny, I'm coming too.

Some of the longest serving posters are not grans. We also have men on here. How discriminatory to suggest excluding them.
It is the name that is wrong, not the posters. ?

I agree. I like.

How do you think it works of course people come over from MN. I spent a long time on MN but I am in my fifties now lots of the subjects relating to babies are of no relevance to me. You do understand that people on MN get older like everyone else

Don’t blind us with science Galaxy ?

Dear me, seems we have had a bit of 'haranguing' going on here today despite all this 'discussion' of bullying etc- see, i think a lot of it stems from the mindset of those on other forums, (e.g. facebook, mumsnet, snapchat,etc) all more 'cliquey' and aggressive than gransnet was ever intended to be.But thats just my opinion..you don't have to agree..or disagree...?I'm off to do something more boring & routine now, finish making sunday lunch. Bye Ladies...?

I am not sure you understand the nature of MN, its bloody enormous its really difficult for a site of that size to be cliquey.
Oh god I have brought the MN swearing over with me.

Disagree that the response to your post is bullying. However, suggesting that a certain demographic should leave, could be construed as just that. ?
