Which thread?

Once again a thread has developed into recriminations. The question was "why so many threads" not who was right or wrong in how they voted. Exactly why I have not said on any thread how I voted [sigh]

Yes, Jane10, Pandora's box, leaving only hope shut inside.
We'll just have to let her out.

Why be so damn rude on Gransnet to other members djen ( and others) just because they voted differently to you? By all means grumble but leave out the insults, it's idiotic.

Well over half the country voted to Leave, and you cannot possibly tell them all that they are 'stupid, thoughtless, had no idea what they were voting for' simply because it doesn't chime with what you wanted, that is sheer arrogance.

Actually, Atqui, I think that, too. Every time someone gets annoyed, they seem to start a new thread. There are three on Corbyn now, I think. I have occasionally written something on one thread and thought it would be better on another but cannot then find the other thread, so leave it where it is.

Is it just a symptom of a world where we all feel lost at the moment?

Your opinion only Jane

Sorry roses but you've sorely misread the situation and most likely missed some key points. You might not like what dj says but a lot of people are in complete agreement with her. Including, in the case of the tragic vote for brexit. You've voted for Pandora's box.

Sorry, I didn't think this thread was just for those who voted to leave the EU. I thought it was for anyone.

I'll stay off here if you stay off the important ones. Is that a deal, roses? Then you can all go back to sleep.

I'm angry too, but so many threads.....

rosesarered Sun 26-Jun-16 16:42:38

Please go away djen ( you told me to clear off, but I am more polite.)

Shall We start a Christmas thread and have some good cheer ( and a mince pie)?

durhamjen Sun 26-Jun-16 16:40:25

So don't read the waffle. You can sit there feeling smug but lots of us are angry.

Did you really expect what has happened to happen?
What do you think will happen next to the UK?
Voting for Brexit was not a positive. You voted against an idea, not for anything.
What do you think you actually voted for?

Pleasing to a lot of people, me included gangy however from reading the threads you would be forgiven for thinking that only about ten people had voted to Leave.
There Was bound to be fall-out, but the extent of it on social media is ridiculous,if you value your sanity you won't be trawling through most of it.

I was so looking forward to last Thursday and thinking that Friday would bring peace on Gransnet!! and there being much fewer threads on the subject - but, the result was such a shock- to most people, that it is now generating a load more waffle!! Personally. the result was very pleasing to me.

ninathenana Sun 26-Jun-16 16:28:47

New ones popping up everyday. I'm not saying it's not important but......
Zzzzzzzzzzz

Atqui Sun 26-Jun-16 14:36:57

Why are there so many threads on the ( dreadful) referendum ? I can't read them all!
