Another missing poster

What was said about Angela Rayner was vile

Still, the posters concerned were posting for weeks after that, so I doubt they were banned for that.

I agree with posters who say that the things posted about Angela Rayner were disgusting. It's not about personal likes and dislikes it was about people being rude, crude, and snobbish, not a good look.
Being likened to a tart is offensive whatever way you want to dress it up.

MissA I agree with your posts It got horrible and not about her trouser suit at all that’s down to personal likes and dislikes the things said about HER were disgusting

Sean Bean? No thanks. I'd rather stick to Mr A.

I don't know your Mr A but so would I!

Sean Bean has never appealed to me at all.

Squiffy

In terms of insults, an ex-neighbour called the three year old son of another ex-neighbour a guttersnipe! Could that be used to describe a man?

Someone once called my 13 month old grandson 'a thug'.

I could cope with Sean Bean any day of the week.

Hands off he’s mine! 😁

People in glass houses spring to mind.

Oh, I don't.
I think it's old fashioned and misogynystic.

And nasty and judgemental. I cannot think of any occasion when it is appropriate. Especially when used to describe someone that nobody on here knows.

On the subject of AR, Nadine Dorries has leapt in to criticise her for dancing on holiday. This from someone who ate an ostrich anus, on TV, while a serving MP.

There was nothing funny being said about Rayner.

HPQ Nor do I understand. There are a few who often remind us of how successful they've been and I find the constant repetition a bit boring. However, it is easy to skip over those bits.

What I do find irritating are those who venture to go on to N & P and then complain about being "showed down" by others. The N & P forum is bound to attract strong opinions and it is sometimes necessary to have a thick skin.

Those who use the remaining forums as well as N & P are usually thoughtful, kind and informative in their responses.

Finally, I would prefer if posts were not removed, unless it is at the poster's request.

Having skim read the thread, u have 3 random comments

I can't see there is anything wrong with commenting on being politically aware and having an opinion of a person's clothes. I am a woman, I can multitask.

It is sad that hokes go over some people's heads but that shouldn't stop us taking jokes. Maybe the person perceiving something as an insult should hold fire and try to consider whether it may have been a joke.

And, I've forgotten what my 3rd random point was.

Oh, I don't.
I think it's old fashioned and misogynystic.

I think Tarty a very easily understandable word and description of someone that is.

Yes, I pointed out that Rayner had done better than anyone here, in terms of her career, and it was not popular.

People were saying she was thick, etc etc.

A few on here were beside themselves at the realisation that a working class woman had worked hard, dealt with the hand that life dealt her and managed to succeed, but expected other GN members to applaud, nay revere, them for having achieved professional status themselves when they too had got there by an unconventional and harder route. I cannot understand how hard working women who have achieved a lot will then criticise, even sneer, at other women who have done the same.

He was beautiful as a young man, but I don't think he's aged well.

I could cope with Sean Bean any day of the week.

Sean Bean? No thanks. I'd rather stick to Mr A.

Twee.
Not tweet. 🤡

I don't think its tweet to not want to run a website containing vile statements about women, by women.

There would be a furore if it was males doing it.

It's Melanie Hill, ixion
She was also Aveline

And was married to the lovely Sean Bean !

Was she? Well, we live and learn .

Gransnet is a private limited company which is run as a business. If the business of Gransnet is efficient it will seek to keep posters posting and reading the adverts.

I guess the management assesses the mood of posters is generally more twee than liberal.
