Message from the doghouse

I've been away from GN (apart from the diet thread) for some weeks. Please someone tell me what this is all about. If too sensitive for the forum then by PM. I can't believe Gracemum did anything too terrible!

Why has GNHQ got an over-inflated sense of its own importance?

I also read the thread before it was deleted and I, too, completely support Gracesmum. She had the courage to state just what many of us thought but she was the one brave enough to poke her head above the parapet. Don't fret Gracesmum it'll all blow over very soon

JO5 It was quite clear that you were talking about HQ. I do hope that Greatnan was not deliberately 'misunderstanding'.

I have noticed that some people seem to deliberately miss-read posts and I don't understand why they do it. We have a choice - look for the best in people or the opposite and it is up to us which we do. It would make me dislike myself to do the latter.

I think policies have been tightened since last year when nobody rebuked us for labelling a certain poster as a t...l.

I read that thread too. I don't remember exactly what Gracesmum said, but I do remember agreeing with her. I would not stop in the street to join in a conversation like that thread. It is not being prim, pedantic or elitist to put a stop to it.

Wasn't aware that gracesmum had made any errors of judgement or posted anything harsh or offensive nelliem I read the thread before it was deleted and I stand by every word she said on it. It does seem a shame that 'smutty schoolboy lavatorial humour and crude innuendo' are deemed worse than shouting 'halo'.

Oh! It's all a load of cobblers!!!!

I'm getting back to RL

Yes. I can see how you might have got that wrong! (to me)

I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT MEMBERS! I WAS TALKING ABOUT HQ!!!

A forum cannot have any sense at all - it is an inanimate object. If you want to say that some members have an over-inflated sense of their own importance, why not say it? I loathe these sly digs and thought we had got beyond them.

missed out an 'if'

And to be absolutely honest, I don't really mind anyone wishes to spend time in a dog house. I just need to spend some time in my kitchen.

Having now read another thread and it dawning on me what this is all about, I take back my comment about Gransnet having an over-inflated sense of its own importance.

In this instance.

Oh dear! gracesmum I dont know what you said either.
Get back up on the forum horse quickly before you lose your nerve.

I think we could all have made what might be described as errors of judgement and posted stuff we later see as harsh or offensive.
We would all miss your lovely posts. I am sure it will all be quickly forgotten.

See, Gracesmum, you have jingle's permission to come back in a few days! You pointed out the elephant in the room and I am sure many of us were grateful.

I haven't been on GN for weeks apart from the diet thread so have no idea what you are supposed to have done but having met you I am on your side whatever it was as I don't believe you would have done anything to hurt anyone. It does seem sometimes that some people try to score points but you are not among them as far as I have seen.

Come back and ignore the ...................!

Prick up your ears, gracesmum and wag that drooping tail. A breath of fresh air (very fresh here) with Grace will do you both the world of good. Then come back here and keep us all in order. Oh and if you must quote Tam o' Shanter...

If you objected to a certain thread I saw and didn't care for myself, and therefore went back to my mountain of paperwork, don't give it another thought gracesmum, leave Grace's chocdrops alone and come out and have a few chocolate buttons of your own .
If one the other hand it was nothing to do with that, sorry I've barged in, ignore me

That must feel so bad Gracesmum.

Give it a few days. You will start to feel better and then you could come back.

It's only a forum. (perhaps a forum with a slightly overinflated sense of its own importance, but hey!)

I agree with the others gracesmum come out of the doghouse and join in with the rest of us.

Whilst I can see why some moderating is necessary by GNHQ, this is not a site used by children - we are all adults and (usually) act as such. Surely we can be trusted to deal with t***ls.

If and when a thread becomes abusive is the time for GNHQ to step in.

Sorry that should be 2x woofs.

gracesmum come out of your doghouse, tail wagging and ears alert. I think you are a very good watchdog and there are extra treats in your doggy bowl.
Go to it Fido! wood woof

Oh my goodness, gracesmum what did you do? I was on GN quite a bit yesterday and didn't notice anything.

grace tell your Mum to come out of the doghouse your a bit squashed and whatever she thinks she has done has disappeared along with the thread , of course if your enjoying the cuddle and the excuse for extra walkies shhhh
