Heartbreaking but watch we NEED. To know

Has anyone clicked on my link - it's very safe.

It takes you to what BlueBelle posted

A lot of fuss this Sunday morning!

I clicked on it and am still alive.

?Ah but is your bank balance?

I suspected it could be something to do with cruelty to animals, (which I would never watch, since it would haunt me for ever) so that’s why I wanted to know.

with all due respect, I clicked on it and I am now dead

And penniless.?

Sort. Don’t click on links unless there’s more I for that that. Don’t want to take the risk of having my computer hacked.

Posters are always putting links on GN, including me.

Perhaps we shouldn't click on any of them.

Namsnanny my bank balance may not be alive but that's nothing to do with the link it's to do with reckless Christmas spending and a half price event involving Christmas light up reindeer in homebase .

Contrary lot!

It’s not unreasonable to want to know what you’re going to read or see if you click on a link. I think GNHQ should establish a rule where posts that are just links get deleted.

BlueBelle, why don’t you repost the thread with an explanation in the first post? Then we can focus on the actual issue.

Sure you meant well Bluebell, but I never open any link from anyone,

And yet the forum usually has people insisting on links to back up any opinion someone might hold.

I was going to try to post a link to a site that explained how to avoid dodgy links. Then I realised nobody would open it.

Alas she saw
And didn’t think
Of dangers lurking
In a link!

I would not click on that link!

Don't worry, it is only about cruelty to human beings!

Oh yes I popped into HB for that event too, but most of the nice things had gone by the time I got there.
Your reindeer sounds great, any chance of a link???

The post is genuine the link is genuine there is no way I would post anything that was dodgy
I hope now you know it’s safe you will look at it , it needs watching it’s a heartbreaking story than many people don’t recognise

I can totally understand not clicking on a link that a new or unknown poster posted but blimey I ve been here nearly 10 years maybe more You must know me by now but never mind wish I d kept it to myself now

No it’s not about cruelty to animals just people but guess that’s watchable then it’s just an old lady recounting her life it’s no one getting shot killed or tortured do you really think I m that insensitive

We don't know BlueBelle. We don't know what you are able to tolerate and you don't know how sensitive any of us are.

I started to watch after people had said it was safe but I managed to get about a minute in before I had to turn it off. Too sad for me.

I lived in Australia for a while so I know what these stories are like. None of this is a reflection on you, but please have some empathy with people who don't want to take the chance of watching something that will upset them, let alone click on a link of unknown origin.

My remark about it being just cruelty to human beings was facetious, Bluebelle, hope you realised that.

It is heartbreaking, led to decades of drug and alcohol abuse too.
I know people who are working in the communities to try to help but still the Government can't get it right and still there is much prejudice.

Why not just say what it’s about in the Title?
