I couldn't give a silent fart who clicks or doesn't click on links, mine or anyone elses.
I just don't enjoy reading 15 pages of people casting doubt on a long term member.

... I got the impression the doubt was about the link, not the poster.

I'm fairly new, so everyone is a long term member to me.

A quick nod to the nature of the video might have had more people watching it.

I just did. And am going to buy the book "Rabbit-Proof Fence" from Amazon.

Here is a link to more testimonies from The Stolen Generation if anyone is interested:

Children from other ethnic backgrounds such as British, Eastern European etc also had harrowing tales to tell about life in the Australian orphanages run by Christians - or not tell, in some cases, as they buried the memories deep within.

“I didn’t consider I needed to add anything”

But how would I know if I was going to be interested unless there was something in the title.

Or was the mystery supposed to draw me in to clicking?

It didn’t work. I still havent clicked on it.

Sorry I just found it irritating and it put me off.

I m so sorry I irritated you peasblossom and I ll not bother again I ll ask HQ to take this down

The lady in the video doesn’t deserve this so I m off

BlueBelle, I can always tell from your posts that you’re a very compassionate person.

Peasblossom Sun 12-Dec-21 19:34:25

Why not repost with a short intro title.

You might get a lot more interest?

I did ask for a précis but no reply.

I did ask for a précis but no reply.

After 80 plus posts, is it not obvious what the subject is?

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 12-Dec-21 20:29:35

I made my request early on, if you care to look back, when no-one knew if it was a bona fide link. If that had happened then it would have been sorted out much earlier. Of course I know what it’s about now, what a silly comment. Perhaps read earlier posts before wading in?

Peasblossom Sun 12-Dec-21 20:33:13

Well no not really.

There’s a lot about links and whether they’re safe and a lot of posters getting cross and a bit about farts.

Comparisons by who’ve already watched the Rabbit proof fence. (I haven’t).

And just a couple who talk about Australia.

So if you already know what it’s about, you know.
And if you don’t you don’t.

I can’t think it’s an effective way to get people interested in looking at something the NEED to know.

It's about the Stolen Generation of native (Aboriginal) Australians and their testimonies.

I have posted a link which I think is safe but don't follow it if you're unsure.

I think Bluebelle must have got the message by now. ?

Theres a lot about links and whether they're safe, and a lot of posters getting cross. A comparison by those who've already watched Rabbit Proof Fence (I havent). A couple who talk about Australia, Oh and a bit about farts

Sounds like a typical GN thread if you ask me grin

Bytheby, I hope you're not seriously thinking of leaving Bluebelle?
It would be a shame if you did.

Namsnanny Sun 12-Dec-21 20:51:33

Apologies Peasblossom it looks as though I've paraphrased your post.
