Not sure you will want to talk to me about it thatbags, and that is fair enough, I understand.

obieone Mon 12-Sept-16 09:25:53

but you are and your were thatbags. You agreed with the misery.

I am not feeling well which may be part of it.

And maybe I did not understand your post correctly.

[and I assume I will get banned!].

It isnt a matter of hate.
And will keep the peace[though I will be banned!],and I may even speak to her about other matters, but I have kept quiet about the thread since last week[perhaps I should have written on the thread] but could not any longer.
I couldnt pm her and talk about it quietly because that isnt right either.

lucky, I wasn't either.

What have you been saying about Italians to make Obieone refuse to respond to any more of your posts (except to reply that she is not going to respond to any more of your posts)?

I must have missed something somewhere.

obi, if you think I was "prepared for misery to be heaped on Italians", you are mistaken. You misunderstood. As anya has said, it is not really politik on gransnet to carry grievances about one thread onto another. Let it rest there.

This article about tiger mums appears in today's Times newspaper and its author is Rosemary Bennett, as I have informed people. I have not expressed my personal opinion about the phenomenon of tiger mums so any "taking seriously" that you do or don't do is not about me or my opinion about it. You need to take up your objections with The Times.

Obviously you have not understood my post and/or do not understand how you come across.

By all means disagree. Just don't stand there like a little kid having a tantrum and shout 'I hate you. I won't speak to you any more'.

I am entitled to my opinion Anya, and I will keep it.
Sorry, but the way she thinks is beyond the pale.
It is a lot more than disagreeing strongly.

I will not carry it thread to thread and will probably get banned, but I am not prepared to keep quiet about it.

It is worth getting banned over. Goodbye.

I am not remotely surprised.

Don't carry angst from one thread to another obi There is nothing wrong with disagreeing strongly with one person on one thread and finding you agree with them on another.

Such is life.

What is very disagreeable is a comment like yours above. Grow up.

Ingetesring article bags but I think we all knew this instinctively. It's the two ends of the parenting spectrum that are not good for their offspring,

I am sorry, but since a thread last week, where you were prepared for misery to be heaped on Italians, I will not be responding to threads of yours of this nature. I cant take them seriously.

According to Rosemary Bennett
Tiger mums (and their children) are miserable.
