Sending a Hug to the Keyboard Warriors

LauraNorder like the Atilla reference.

Lucca count your blessings, no one ever called me lovely lady and if I’ve been called Hun it could be Atilla related

Chewbacca Geoffrey the llama is not bandy.
Gwyneth someone upthread explained, apparently goady fuckery, an expression often used on mums net we were told. Learn something new every day.

Gwyneth

What is gfery not in list of abbreviations

???

I don’t mind the odd hug but I do hate to be called “hun”
Or “lovely lady “

Chewbacca isn't Geoffrey one of the llamas at the Argy?

Dunno AGAA4 , but he's been banded about prolifically on here today!

Group hug anyone?

Now that’s g’fery

This reminds me of the village fete a few years ago.
An evangelical church group set up their stall next to the tombola and placed two of their members in front to offer hugs to passing strangers. I am not sure what their objective was, but we got an awful lot of terrified customers as they scuttled past to avoid the hug.

ps to Anniebach: bloody but unbowed!!

suziewoozie if there is so much stupidity, lies, false information and laziness on this site why are you wasting your time by being on it then?

Isn't that suziewoozie's affair, Gwyneth?

We're all supposed to be grownups here who can make their own choices..

(Don't anybody ever hug me, please)

Among the few benefits of lockdown is not being hugged by randoms.( others include no airports and not standing a reasonable distance in a queue and suddenly finding they are tossing back much longer hair than you thought possible and it going in your face) ( unless it’s Rapunzel let out from her tower)

GFery

Suziewoozie who is Geoffrey and why do you keep referring to him?

Lucca

Maggiemaybe..... so temped to offer you a
Ok I won’t.

Please God don’t anyone offer me a hug.

I'd be very careful, self-isolate for two weeks first and wear a mask.

Hmm. Not quite sure how to take this, although of course, sending hugs to anyone is commendable.

No it’s not - it’s patronising GFery claptrap.

Grans.

As usual I'm late to the party. I only look at a few of the active threads each day and seem to have missed something. No idea what this refers to or who the bad grand are!

There are posters whose views I don’t agree with who post links supporting their views. I like to read those links as even if I disagree I find they are still very interesting and thought provoking.

A very strange original post, I found it unnecessary, it was patronising and presumptuous about other posters. All this let's give them a hug is annoying.
The poster is either quite naive, or was it to cause trouble, because when I first read it I knew what the reaction would be, I have to say I just thought the poster came across as smug.

I've no idea what or who this thread is about but I think the OP has made some smug, virtue signalling remarks about unnamed people which seems to have backfired on him/herself. Talk about high horses. I suppose I will now get a hug for being unpleasant. I don't need one , thanks. Its not personal, its about the remarks.

Yes Galaxy, spot on.

And what I would say is there are posters who I disagree with completely on a number of issues and we have had some fairly 'to the point' debates but I dont think any less of those posters, I admire them putting forward their beliefs even if it on occasion ends up with us being a little snippy towards each other. I much prefer that to this below the radar stuff.

There’s a great deal of under the radar stuff mostly practiced by those who rush to say how nasty GN has become and how mean people are to be critical of lies and/or false or misleading information. They confuse ( deliberately or otherwise) being criticised or corrected with being bullied or abused. I’ve no patience at all with posters who through laziness, maliciousness or stupidity post false information on important issues like vaccines, lockdown rules, legal or financial issues. I’m not going to pussyfoot around a grown women who thinks it doesn’t matter what she posts is factually true or not and especially when said grown woman then bleats about a ‘certain poster’ being mean to her.

It’s one thing having an opinion on for example abortion ( to choose a nice uncontentious example) but quite another to make false claims about the number or abortions or the stage at which they are carried out.
