Do you ever feel intimidated?

Nanadogsbody so sorry to hear you feel like that. There's been a huge over-reaction to your joke. Please don't take it all on board.

Come over to the Quiet Corner for some peace and relaxation nanadb

Lots of friendly chat and comfort food to share with you

I'm distraught,

I am pleased I called by the Quiet corner and felt very chilled before I dropped in here

And thank to you too when.
I wil look for the quiet corner now.

Thank you elegran, will do.

You could pop over to the quiet corner too Johanna Everyone has gone home from this thread.

Come on over to the Quiet Corner thread where we are relaxing and enjoying each other's company. All welcome!

Maybe our "robust " posters could have a rethink?
And perhaps realise that their posts come across as very very assertive!
Which of course is not the intention, but....

And there I was peacefully watching Strictly, thinking that all the animosity and finger-pointing were over. Luckily there are threads where everyone is being nice. I'm off to find one.

Thanks Elegran but I am in a different time zone and must get off the computer then off to the shops. An eclair sounds lovely.

You can skip the rest Duchess It improved then went downhill again but has all gone quiet now. Come to the quiet corner and have an eclair.

Sorry, only read to page 5.

I thought what a lovely supportive website this was when I found it (via mumset), posts being so very calm, considerate and helpful (not including mine in these)........ and in fact underneath is a swirling mahem of aggro and distress!!

PS In reply to someone who said they are slow to type posts, it takes 10 days to learn to touch type. I used a pitman book from the library, so can rattle off a post in minutes (which probably won't come as a surprise to anyone who has read any of my contributions )

Step this way to the Quiet Corner...........

Don't like tea, When can I have coffee? No - not a good idea in the evening. Make it hot choc.

I've dusted quiet corner, and freshly brewed tea with chocolate eclairs are waiting to be demolished

Just scroll down to find me the thread

Ditto

Elegran and Barrow the Nobel Peace Prize should have gone to you. Thank you for your efforts

OK enough is enough - if you don't stop squabbling right now you are all going to bed with no supper

Just clipping all ears simultaneously, Baubles, while feeling annoyed that the peace I had some hand in brokering was broken already.

Can you hear it in the playground? "He started it!" "No! He did!"

Don't take it personally! Please!

I too hope a line can be drawn. If some protagonists do not feel they can leave things as they are, then by all means pm each other but this argument is going nowhere and it is leaving a bad taste. Yes, I know I don't need to read posts and should also leave well alone - can we not let it go now that anything useful has been said?

P.S. I'm not bickering, honest!

elegran It wasn't my intention to 'throw down the gauntlet'. I've read on other threads that using the pm facility to discuss threads can be thought 'cliquey' so I considered openness to be the better option.

Holding grudges is not good, Faye Petallus. The past is another country, and now is now. Pick people up on what they are doing when they do it and let past mistakes stay buried. Otherwise we will be taking revenge on one other until Doomsday.

I repeat - I thought this were discussed honestly and oopenly on this thread and a consensus arrived at which everyone was content with.

TIME TO STOP BICKERING

Posted this before seeing Elegran's excellent post. I agree with Elegran that we are probably going to have to draw a line under all of this and maybe we can all admit to a certain amount of responsibility for what has gone on.

Gransnet seems to have gone sour.
