Sorry! I'm a fool

Oopsadaisy4

Urms you should see what I write in reply to some posts after a G and T, thankfully I don’t post them, if I’m on my second the iPad goes in the drawer....

Best plan!
?

I will Google him!

Thank goodness, my knees aren't up to curtseying whenever I see your posts.

LauraNorder Callistemon Unfortunately my almost-royal relation was from a very distant branch of the family, so even had he accepted the post, you wouldn't need to curtsy to me. He wisely turned it down.
He does feature on Google, though, mostly in connection with his cricketing reputation which was parallel to and equal to W G Grace, but the Albanian story is mentioned here among other places.

Is it up to us to forgive or to the poster who received the abuse?

Blue Sky Me too, never understand who decides deletions and why?

Fanny, I did notice the deletions and wondered if you were a new occupant of the er...kennel (?). So I'm pleased to see you safely back on fofrm.

To repeat would incur deletions. Time to move on.
No point rehashing, as it becomes a thread about a thread!

BlueSky resurrection would cause more palaver, I have no idea either but hope the recipient of the rudeness accepts a sincere apology and assurance of no repetition.

Who said what? I missed it all as usual. Could somebody enlighten me please?

FannyCornforth comments were very hurtful. I saw them. Couldn't believe what I was reading. So, yes, an apology to the recipient of the unpleasant remarks would be appropriate.

her = here!!!!

If the unhappy communication caused genuine upset & Fanny has apologised seems that is all that can be done.
We are all human and all mess up on occassions..unless there are saints on her?
I hope the person who was hurt by the remarks is ok.

LauraNorder I had a distant relative who was invited to become king of Albania. Is that big enough for you?

Well, that must black cat everyone!
You could be a princess. ?

Oh dear, it seems one poster was rather mean and another poster suffered. The one who was apparently mean feels contrite and has apologised. A private message would be kind to encourage the other poster to return to gn.
A sincere apology and no repeat performance will allow everyone to move on.
Sorry if I was flippant earlier, hadn’t realised it was serious.
Line drawn I hope

Fortunately I missed it all but an apology to the right quarter never goes amiss.

Elegran do tell.

Agree Marydoll.

I didn't see anything (always out of the loop)

However, it may be deleted as a thread about a thread, so all you can do is apologise FannyC.

I saw it and felt for the other poster. I agree with Marydoll.

I don’t know what was said or who was upset but agree with Mary doll that an apology. if sincerely meant, is the way to go.

Its not a drink or two with me, its not having my glasses on because once again they are lost in the mountain of stuff in this house. Shame I missed the fun if you kick off again please me know i need some fun in my life.

It was not funny at all. Far from it.

It actually wasn't funny at all.
That's all I'm saying. Otherwise it becomes a thread about a thread.
Little thought has been shown to the poster on the receiving end of the comments. Please give some thought to her feelings .

Invite someone in for a coffee as I suspect you would be better chatting to a person than all the cyber friends on here . Lots of people on their own may provide empathy and while away an afternoon discussing common problems . Boredom and isolation don't help pain and then we turn to food / drink / both . I am taking your post seriously and don't find the situation you are in amusing but there is a lot you can do to help it.
