What is worth your anger?

This looks as though it will be an interesting thread!

Blatant liars and cheats!

Oh! And him next door!

With you all the way, there, gn. I think that'll do me too. Oh no! Another clique!

I agree with most of your list jeni and have a couple of my own:

When someone is judged by the way they look rather than for what they are
Inconsiderate behaviour
Being ignored by shop assistants
Bad drivers who take risks and put other road users in danger
Telephone cold callers (and even worse the silent calls!)
Call centres manned by people I can't understand (OK that may be my problem as I think I am going a little bit deaf!)

Many more things make me angry but I have to watch my blood pressure!

Cruelty. Bigotry. Greed. Tyranny. Utter disregard for another's rights and feelings.

Sorry that should have been I agree with Greatnan (perhaps I should add people who don't read posts properly to the list!!)

Nah, that last one's not worth getting in a tizz about, barrow. Besides, we all do it!

I'm with soop and that includes disregards for GNers' feelings too. I still don't subscribe to the idea that everyone likes the rudeness/robustness/arrogance, call it whatever you like, that is sometimes displayed on here. It shows a lack of empathy and courtesy. Such posters seem to think they are in some way superior to others. Thank goodness such posters are few and far between.

...and folk who dump their garbage on grass verges...

Not even mild irritation, Barrow - I have frequently done it myself!
I tend to treat inconsiderate drivers and rude sales assistant with a resigned shrug - they don't come into my range of things that make me angry.

...and folk who spit on the pavement...

Alison - you really are priceless! Keep up the good work!

Injustice (of any kind). Cheating (of any kind). People's greed. Causing hurt deliberately.

I can't see why Alison's post merited such hilarity, Greatnan.
Surely she's entitled to put her views across without attracting such a dismissive response.

Well what is wrong with priceless? Proverbs:- A virtuous woman who can find for her price is far above rubies! It then goes on to describe the everyday life of your average Gnetter!
She rised while it is yet night and makes bread for her household. It goes on to say that she is like a ship laden with goods from afar. It finishes. By saying her household will arise and call her blessed!

I think the hilarity is because it's the same point, put across repeatedly on several threads, nag. I get the feeling (could be wrong, natch, but I will no doubt be corrected if I am) that gn is not going to stop putting forward her interesting and robust, but not rude or offensive, posts, and that alison is not going to stop complaining about their rudeness (arrogance, bullying, etc). It is quite amusing in a sighing and shaking the head gently kind of way.

People, and GNHQ, have suggested that anything which is felt to be a personal attack, or which is felt to be bullying, should be reported to them. They DO delete anything that contravenes forum rules. Seems fair to me.

I don't think robustness of view, or even apparent arrogance in a post, is usually regarded as contravening said rules, however unpalatable some people may find such things. That's just life.

I agree with *Zena

I shall take it as a complement greatnan however you intended it.

If I repeat the same point bagsit is becuase I feel strongly that the relevant people might pick up on it eventually, although it is quite possible that they don't even understand what insensitivity is.

PS I don't always agree with robust posts, but it's fun to have them to argue with. Always look on the bri-ight si-ide of life (Life of Brian).

And, by the way, I think both the posters in question post robustly and often provocatively, and am glad of it.

I think insensitivity is allowed in the rules. It's a subjective thing, after all.

I'll get back in my box, then, shall I?

Alison is entirely free to post the same comments time after time after virtually every post I make and I am perfectly free to find the predictability amusing. And, of course, Anagram will always agree with her. Hmm....am I being bullied - I could get very hurt by being called arrogant, rude, lacking in empathy, part of a gang or clique - but of course, the remarks could be aimed at other members, couldn't they? Perhaps I am just too sensitive for my own good and the remarks do not refer to me at all.
Whatever, as my young relatives say, can we just get back to what makes people angry? I meant really angry, not just a bit ticked off or irritated.

No anagram you hang in there, you have just as much right to say what you think as anyone else and you usually say it in a sensitive manner too

Well of course, I always agree with you Alison!
