Bellsisabelle

I was just thinking that about the thread you're referring to, thatbags. Imagine the furore if someone dared to sigh about its content...

And the least contentious thread of all runs to a thousand posts over and over again. Nobody complains about that.

The world is not non-contentious. Much as non-contentious threads are useful and lovely in their own way, there is still plenty of disagreement about every subject under the sun. This is not a problem. It's life.

People write light-hearted (hens) and interesting (witches) posts because the thread has moved on and is probably fizzling away. Other people stomp in still complaining, apparently, that the thread even exists. I never understand that. What does the number of posts matter? Gransnet is a chat forum. That's what we're doing

Tut!

One of our first hens was called Grizel. We only used one z. The other two firsts were Saffie (Saffron; can't remember why) and Violet. Violet became Violent Violet. She was rather a bully and wanted to be boss hen but Saffie didn't agree. Violet got foxed fairly early on, which solved that power problem.

Scottish witches being burnt reminds me of a competition I once entered. Pose with your suncream at an appropriate spot on holiday. I posed at the stone in Dornoch marking where the last "witch" in Scotland was burned. 1727. I didn't win, probably because it was in very bad taste.

Or, as The Bard would have said
'Much Ado about Nothing'

(except that the witches were in The Scottish Play!)

That's still a lot of posts, though.
Isn't it great - a giant playground squabble for geriatrics !!

Probably like telling a granny to suck eggs but for those of you who say there are 14, 16 etc pages of this thread you can always hit the customise button and change the number of posts per page. I am on page 5 of this thread and it shows 100 posts per page. Not bragging just explaining. As you were......

If she has sneaked in, while banned, isn't it unsurprising she'd get banned again?

Yes Galen, but this thread was about her latest incarnation, Bellsisabelle. Well, it started off as being about that!

jing had a final spat with gnhq when she was told not to do something. She continued and vanished. I don't think anyone reported her

Tailor made Merlot never mind the quality, feel the width!
Threads seem to take on a life of their own don't they? You only started this to let people know about Bell, who knows where it will end up.

If I don't like what people write I either say it online, or ignore them. I hate tale tellers too.

I couldn't agree more, TriciaF

I also don't think the 'tut-tutters' on another thread have anything to complain about.

If you don't like a thread stay away from it. Why does everything have to be tailor made to their requirements?

The thing that bothers me about this kind of thread is that people start to think, who was it that complained to GNHQ? You can end up suspecting anyone and everyone.
Even if I was to say "I really loved Jings and miss her so much!" (actually she was OK, I had nothing against her) some might say, Ah but you're only saying that to avoid suspicion.

I was going to avoid this thread, so will shut up now.

Shrug!

And that last comment, Elegran could apply to a few people on this thread!

Good grief! Just realised that there are eighteen pages of this. Is there nothing more interesting for grownup people to talk about than whether people actually agreeing with someone else constitutes a concerted attack on someone else?

Well, if nothing else, it does illustrate how those with nothing useful to say fill their time by saying nothing.

Back to those poor old women chucked into murky water with their left hand tied to right foot and right hand to left foot. Their accusors were, after all, completely convinced of their guilt well before testing it with the ordeal by water. They were not going to pay any attention to an innocent verdict anyway.

I read 3/4 of the thread and can't read any more, it's all so tedious, though I thought the washerwoman quip was a joke and not something GJ would be offended by. I would like to see Jingle back again and don't see why she is banned, other than that I have nothing to add. ?

Olene, 100% agree with you.

Always appreciate your clarity B.

To bags.

Morning. Neatly put.
