Are Gransnetters just vicious online trolls?

I always avoid the knitting and broccoli threads, because they're dangerous. hmm

Hmmmmn, interesting, I had not heard about this blog or the chat thread concerned, must have a look, to see if she really was bullied.?

Well, we are apparently a bunch of bullies on this site:

Some poor innocent (who is media savvy enough to get an article published in a national newspaper) is in a state of shock after posting on Gransnet. A whole page in DM basically complaining that she posted on an internet forum and is shocked that not everyone found her as witty and amusing as she clearly thinks she is.

Shame on you grannies for upsetting the poor little flower! On the bright side though, she did manage to get her article published, so that was probably a nice little earner for her.grin
