Own up ! Do you do this ?

I obviously meant 'aspersions'. Can't reply anymore cos I've forgotten the lot of it.

PS Making "veiled comments" is something I definitely don't do.

I knew what you meant Gone. PS, neither to I, sometimes I am quite blunt, but always polite

?

I do try not to be unpleasant on GN but I think as someone up thread said sometimes posts come over in quite a different way to the spoken word.
I do tend to be a bit sarcastic in RL but I can judge better whether the person is ‘getting it or not.’ I think sometimes on rereading a post I am aware that my phraseology is wrong. I that it can be a mistake to respond too quickly to what maybe a criticism but, actually, may not be.
It’s not what you say but the way that you say it!

The last! Should have been a ?
See what I mean!

Thank you MawB. I thought it might be GG54. She can be very rude at times to put it mildly. She has said unkind things to me about Northern Ireland. I don't think she realises and sometimes she can't be excused but she does add something interesting to GN. I often find myself thinking I wonder what Gabriella will say about this. I think it's good to hear different viewpoints. GN would be very boring if everyone thought the same way. Even in RL we don't always agree with our friends.

I think GG54 has left.

I didn't say quite what I meant. What I meant was I know GG54 can be rude but she is interesting and often amusing. I think its a shame she has left.

My family and friends all know who I am on GN and I have met grans from Scotland, the North West and the South West, where I live. So, I am far from anonymous, but even if I weren’t I’d like to think that my speech and actions are congruent across all areas of my life.

GA I think I met you in Brum once, maybe it was someone else. I also talk to my close friends and family about GN. I think some of the younger ones think all we talk about is our GC though! I have passed on some things I have learned here which they have found helpful.

I am no different on Gransnet than I am in real life. Mostly I try to understand and conciliate, but now and again I get snippy.
