Gransnet. Should I Be On It?

I only comment infrequently on here. Looking at all the different topics and viewpoints, I have come to the conclusion that I am not suitable to be on Gransnet because;

a. I voted Leave, and still want to Leave.

b. I like having a monarchy and (most) of the Royal Family.

and worst of all !

c. I am not a dog lover.

There, I have committed the 3 deadly Gransnet sins.

Chaffinch, I took your post to be a light-hearted opening to a good chat.
Unfortunately, some posters have got upset or cross along the way, but I love Gransnet for the variety of views expressed and the wit & humour that some are able to display. It's great!

What a shame when a couple of posters turn a thread into A dreary rerun of a Brexit thread.....complete with insults.

Neither politics or religion are considered good social topics. Most adults are aware of this and do not bring them in to such conversion unless they are looking for controversy. There are all sorts of ways of being insulting and putting up a topic such as this and then complaining when people pick up on it and have the "temerity" to disagree is one of them.

I voted remain and I still want to remain ( no chance of that!)

I like having a Monarchy. ( Queenie is a good un)

I am a dog lover, (but sadly no longer have one.)

I too have committed 3 deadly ( but wonderful ) sins ?

Should I be on it.?
Well yes because ,I have Rights! I apologies if my rights clash with your rights , but rights are well rights ??

I voted to leave too
Love the Queen, can’t be doing with the others
I now do love dogs, my daughter converted me, I help look after hers but do not want one of my own?
Please stay ❤️

Apologies to the OP, that was supposed to be a new thread.
I'll ask GNHQ to move it tomorrow.

Oh bum! blush
Better ask them to remove my contribution too.

Shame; I was quite enjoying myself.

If Gabriella asks HQ to move the thread you can tell us more tomorrow MissA ?

Who's on duty?

If a poster requests that a post be removed it surely should be 'at poster's request' not 'against guidelines'?

In answer to OP, I wouldn't advise it.

lemongrove Sat 14-Sep-19 13:07:20

Exactly......it was just posts about circuses!

I'm not sure that I should be on GN as some days I spend so much time I don't get anything else done.

Today so far, is another exampleblush.

GabriellaG54 Sat 14-Sep-19 13:23:37

I asked GN to move my post (and the following replies to it) as I accidentally posted on here instead of a new thread, however, GN REmoved it altogether
I emailed GN and they 'found' it but said they couldn't move a post unless asked to by the OP, which was impossible as I was not the OP of the original thread...IYSWIM.?
They said I could copy and paste from the one they removed and 'found' but the replies could not be moved. They were deleted. Odd...but not my decision. Sorry sad
