Got to thinking just now - can we be kind about posters❓

Quizqueen..... I think it’s the absolute opposite .

Sometimes jokes don’t come across when written down. It depends how it’s interpreted. So don’t worry Callistemon . Keep on having a sense of humour!
Can’t even begin to understand where quizqueen gets her “ left wing from”

Please, not politics , let’s leave politics where they belong, the politics threads, the most unpleasant threads on the forum.

Anniebach ..lovely name. That’s exactly my point, the politics threads should be kind too

Thank you Lucca , Anniebach means little Annie, suitable
when I was a tot, but at 5’7” ? ?

The politic threads are fiery , but so many threads which are
full of kindness and caring, and fun threads too

I went to school for a time in north wales and my r.e.(we called it Scripture) teacher , Rev. Something called me Luccabach.

LittleLucca , hello x

Thank you to those who’ve been so complimentary to me. I feel quite as I don’t feel that I’m remarkable in any way.

I’m guilty of reading posts without taking much notice of who-has-written-what so I often can’t assign names to opinions. Many posts do give me food for thought, though, whether I remember the name of the writer or not.

Lucca I don’t think we’ve ‘met’ before but personally, I’m not one for lumping people into categories. I don’t like pigeonholing people, we’re all so much more than one opinion on one subject.

Oh dear Quizqueen I can’t let that go as it is so untrue and not in the spirit of the thread.
Elegran I reckon you must be one of the most highly respected of our membership. You choose your words carefully, so that nobody can get the wrong end of he stick and you are always even-tempered and wise.
I am not necessarily too unhappy when some people disagree with me, but when you do, I go away and feel like Fagin “I think I’d better think this out again”.

Thank you nortsat not as invisible as I thought ? you ve made my day xx

Rather a sweeping generalisation quizqueen?

To all the posters (too many to name) who articulate so well what I try to say, thank you and well done.
And to those who articulate their views so well even if I do not agree with what you are saying - well done.

Doodle has a brilliant sense of humour, absolutely love sparring with her on the fun threads. She's quick, funny and and I think shares the same sense of quirky humour as me. Thanks for the giggles Doodle.

Quizqueen This thread has been a shining example of people seeing those who don't agree with them on specific points as real human beings, not as cardboard villains, and appreciating where we agree and converge, despite our differences. To concentrate on varieties of opinion is to conspire with those who would divide and conquer us, at the very time when we should be maximising the goodwill that still exists.

Lucca thanks for that. I thought so as well but didn't want to disturb the love-fest.

I am sorry but I cannot let that remark go quizqueen without a comment. My views have never been "leftish" in my entire life. Where you decided to make that comment from the many lovely threads here is beyond me.

As my old mother used to say:
If you haven't anything nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all.
Good post Elegran, this thread was beginning to diverge from the spirit of the original post. Let's get it back on track.
Charleygirl, I was just about to post the same comment.

Let the loving re-ommence! ?

Ah chewy how kind. I love our games too.

elegran that’s a lovely post and so true. As often your have said the right thing.

trisher we do not frequent the same threads usually I think so I cannot comment much but I have read many of the political threads over the past weeks. You seem to be someone who has firm ideas and can hold her ground in a disagreement of opinions.

Oops, re-commence.

love-fest.

trisher I was going to post that this thread seems like a 'love-in' but without the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.

But there is so much that is horrible all around us at the moment (not excluding the weather) it's good to think about something positive for a change.

Have thought long and hard and decided that NanKate and Monica get my vote. They both appear to be very kind and thoughtful in their responses, and I enjoy reading their posts. Rufus also makes me smile!

Backing up to Annie I want to say how much I admire her. She has been through so much herself and yet has time to help others. She has helped me on many occasions.

Just thought of another one Witzend always a delight to read.

I don't know Charleygirl5 but she is right to oppose that remark. I am fairly new to Gransnet and find most of the Gns to be kind and supportive. I believe we all should show compassion to anyone who posts as we don't know what is going on in their lives

I now feel I must take more notice of posters names !! I can only recall a handful or so of posters names.. However I think GN is great and I have found great advice on it on a diverse number of subjects. On the whole people are kind and when they are not ,I find it rather shocking. It is truly lovely seeing the care and support when members are going through rough times.
