I apologise unreservedly for my posts yesterday, particularly to Maggie tulliver whose thread I fear I hi jacked. My question was genuine but I realise we are all shaped by life experiences and so all different. I understood this was a Forum of adults discussing adult issues and failed to understand my description of sex would upset, that was not my intention.

Greeneyedgirl I think that would be an excellent name (and acronym!)

The fact is many of the people here are not worldly wise and are more easily shocked than are participators on a more intellectual forum

Alexa don’t hold back!

Jeez.

Can we also have a breakaway group for us thickos, things we can understand please

Izabella your post demonstrates that those with academic achievements can still work alongside and learn from others from all walks of life with true humility in doing so. Attributes surely we can all appreciate. Thank you for expressing this so succinctly.

Alexa. A coarse, found mouthed rant is not a sign of intelligence, the reverse I think. An apology on the actual forum that was hijacked would be more appropriate. Once such language is used you don't change that vision of the person using it.

Peonyrose Wed 20-Nov-19 05:53:27

If a man used such graphic, base language and spoke of women in such a derogatory way he would be given hell. Quite rightly so.

I do think it was extremely odd to start a thread to apologise. Did you ask HQ to delete it OP?

Alexa Wed 20-Nov-19 10:18:39

Peonyrose, I did not see any "foul mouthed" post. I was replying to Hillwalker the OP here on this thread.

Callistemon Wed 20-Nov-19 10:23:40

I did suggest the OP could do that suziewoozie as it seemed inappropriate in the context of the other thread, but I'm not sure if she did.

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 10:26:34

It's not at all odd to start a thread to apologise.

Why can't the (unnecessary in my opinion) apology now be accepted and the matter closed? hmm

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 10:27:10

Why the hell should it be deleted! Grow up the lot of you.

suziewoozie Wed 20-Nov-19 10:27:26

YesCall that’s why I was asking ( to see if she’d followed your advice) The post in question is still up and I’m sure HQ would delete if asked because it’s actually heartbreakingly personal isn’t it? It made me very sad.

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 10:27:39

Sorry. I should have said, calm the ruffled feathers. smile

suziewoozie Wed 20-Nov-19 10:28:19

Do you need a paper bag Gone ?

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 10:28:19

HQ said it was ok. Does no one actually read posts?

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 10:29:03

Paper bag? confused

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 10:30:11

Are you suggesting I am having a panic attack? confused It's you lot that are doing all the swooning.

suziewoozie Wed 20-Nov-19 10:36:22

No GGI thought you might need an empty one to start another argument in.
Has the OP said that HQ refused to delete it when she asked?

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 10:38:04

Yes.

Callistemon Wed 20-Nov-19 10:41:05

Gonegirl I never said that I thought it should be deleted, only that the OP seems to be reconsidering by apologisingor think she gave tmi.

It has not given me 'the vapours' but apparently it did upset someone to the extent that another thread was started about it for whatever reason.

Yes, I missed the post where HQ said it was OK.

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 10:44:56

I can't find now either. But I'm sure she did. I suppose I might have dreamed it.

My comments were not aimed at you C. They were aimed at the love of my life sw. smile

Riverwalk Wed 20-Nov-19 11:17:12

GG the OP of the thread complaining about crude language says she asked for Hillwalker's comment on another thread to be deleted and was told it was OK- so yer half dreamed it!

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 11:59:55

Ah! Right! That's it. I remember now. grin

Callistemon Wed 20-Nov-19 13:54:31

You didn't tell me you had a new bf Gonegirl

sad

Gonegirl Wed 20-Nov-19 14:16:31

Couldn't you tell? grin
