Unfair

Who I Heel and what are teef?

Kali, just answering your question. Unimaginative simply means lacking in imagination. whats wrong with that? Being banal is also hardly a crime. The term 'simple soul' does, in some minds, have mental health issues but its usually used to show empathy with someone rather than being unpleasant.
As my mother once said 'I've been called a lot worse'. This is an open message board and some folks are blunt, some tactfull, some, like me, suffer from 'foot in mouth'. I think few folks in here are really deliberatly unpleasant, just a bit tactless or like to stir a bit.
Heels teef, the world would be a dull dull place if we all had texactly the same views on everything!

I agree Notso and swearing seems to be coming more prevalent on here which some people could find really offensive.

'What the fuck' is rude and offensive, even if it's in initials. I cannot think of any way in which those words can be wrongly interpreted or regarded in an overly sensitive way.

I'm glad to say I've got a short memory and never remember who I said what to on other threads!

I enjoy coming onto the forums. If I hated anything about it or felt that people were horrid, then I wouldn't bother logging on to it. After all no one holds a gun to our heads to sign in.

I do think some people are super sensitive about things that are written. If I made a statement and was deluged with nasty comments, then I wouldn't look at that thread again. People seem to keep the threads separate and may be having a 'ding dong' on one thread and chatting on another.

Things said can be misconstrued when written, because you can't seem people's faces or expressions.

OK! Bloody kindle fires and i pads!

I have no problem with asking the question "Bags", even though it is no one else's business, it was the "WTF" accompanying it, which you seem to have overlooked. Again, it is not what has been said but the way it is said. Any one can ask me any thing politely, but I will not tolerate rudeness aimed at me, from any one. I must say I wasn't aware of the Scout Association having that attitude, even though I too am involved in it. Surely a caring group of people should try to resolve issues rather than say "if you don't like it get out". Perhaps I need to look in to it more....

Snap jing!

Not "bragging"

She said baggying iPad said bagging!

She said bagging.

Bloody kindle fire! Baggying!

Oh sorry! She said bragging! Must read posts more carefully.

I'm bogging off now too.

Bags All this and veterinary skills too. Respect.

I must admit I do say things on here that I wouldn't say in real life. Maybe a lot of people use forums like that. To let off steam in a way you can't in real life. Not good obviously.

And then there's the fact that no one could possibly like everyone else on a large forum. Perhaps the answer is to remember it is just a forum.

Because it shows what a complex character I am.

Right, I'm baggying off now to sew up a snow dog.

Yes, she apologised, so I apologise to you in turn, JO .

I was getting a bit fed-up with all the carping that is going on at the moment. The threads fill up all the "last hour" spaces until it seems that there is nothing else but agonising going on.

Instead of joining them, we should be starting lots of discussions that will be interesting and go somewhere, not round and round in spirals, to vanish up themselves.

See what I mean!? On another thread, I'm apparently now the same person as absent! #flattered... in a way

Oh dear! I forgot. I'm not supposed to try and explain how I interpret jing's remarks in case someone thinks we are the same person. [holdsbackguffawsatthethought]

elegran, I think jing's question, expressed in a typically jings direct way, was a natural response to what had gone before. To me it expressed surprise more than anything. When she realised it had been interpreted otherwise, she apologised. End of.

So right bags about the few threads.

Better than some of the things you could be called, JO, and I think I may have seen some criticism of you in the past, here and there. Believe it or not, I was being tactful! I should not have bothered, as you prefer staight talking.

I have read a lot of your posts, and usually you speak out but are not nasty with it, but you asked why she is still here, as though you think she should have gone away.

That seemed to me like the kind of dig that has sent you away at times. You have always returned eventually, under another name, but still recognisable, others might not come back. Do as you would be done by.

Besides, a few threads that one doesn't like should not spoil the rest of gransnet. Certainly doesn't for me.
