so, when will you be starting stockpiling I wonder?

I think that Grandad's style of posting - bullying, arrogant and belittling of women, invites gentle teasing in order to prick the balloon of pomposity emanating from his posts if he is challenged in any way by other posters.

Unfortunately, this style of bullying is reminiscent of the school yard where the school bully, if challenged, runs crying to the Head Teacher, which is what seems to be happening here.

And isn't using the t word against the rules?

They are threats Iam and we do not come to this forum to suffer threats

I've reported grandad1943 as despite finding it difficult to take him seriously, I do believe his comment that harassment towards him will be stopped within or without the management of this organisation, is meant as a threat. Also, he's reported himself so I'm only confirming that aren't I.

These threats from granddad1943 are now distressing , our posts are checked by claimed legal secretaries , now threats of something outside of management of this forum being brought in .

Ive just caught up with the last two or three pages and find it hard to see the connection with the OP.
Grandad, your comments towards MawBroon seem much more like bullying than anything else. My impression is that you're enjoying playing out on this leisure forum. Maybe its time you took your bucket and spade elsewhere.

“The trolling and harassment of me on this forum will be stopped ether within or outside of the management of this organisation “
What exactly does the italicised part of the above quotation mean, grandad?
Your threat constitutes harassment in itself.
No one has harassed you.
You have invited any negative comments by the style and content of your own posts.

grandad, and do you consider your behaviour to be exemplary? You have been consistently rude. And, what does your threat above actually mean?

To the two posts above addressed to me, No I will not and believe me I will make it stick.

In that, the first stage is now already in hand and I await that outcome before moving further.

The trolling and harassment of me on this forum will be stopped ether within or outside of the management of this organisation.

Come out of the playground and get over yourself: trolling
and harassment
As a health and safety expert you know this accusation won't stick.

Be careful what you wish for. There is enough incriminating evidence within these posts for a number of other posters to take action against you. However most are magnanimous and either tolerate the banter, heated though it might get, challenge the poster but get on with it or if it gets too hot they ‘leave the kitchen’.

Cross posted, sorry.

It’s a reply to the previous post, surely?

I am sorry that was unclear Grandad but it immediately followed one from Jura who suggested the changing of a username (mine) had had some dishonest motivation and was an attempt to deceive.

MawBroon, your post at 22:11 today makes little reasoning to myself and I would believe other members as it is addressed to no one?

Surely we choose our nicknames because they're easy to remember or are a name that means to something to us? Those who chose to change their names due to technical difficulties (like being unable to log in), or for personal reasons, would hardly have chosen a new name that was so similar to their old one that they would instantly be recognised? It doesn't necessarily mean that name changes are "dishonest" does it? There are myriad reasons.

kittylester, I will not as there are some matters which in the name of decency should not be allowed to go unchallenged if we wish to have a fair and respected society.

Some attitudes are below contempt and that has been shown on this forum today by one member.

And are you saying somebody else was being dishonest?
In what way?

the point being petra- that I never ever chose a name that would deceive anyone- because that would be dishonest.

This post has been deleted because it reiterates an already deleted message.

Fgs, grandad, get over yourself.

Which Jura was it when you were banned from GN.

I've just been reading that all major ports are prepared to automatically go to WTO on March 30th 2019.
We (and the eu) have 10 years to trade under these rules.
And while we trade under these rules no country is allowed arbitrarily to block or delay goods traveling into their country.
And they have taken countries to court, including France.
Of course prices will rise in the interim, perhaps then they will start talking turkey.

although I must say I sometimes nearly get it wrong, as you have changed names so many times, it is hard to keep up. You can call me Grandjura or Juragran
Enough already!
Your point being?
I make no secret of the fact that on the occasions when I rejoined GN, just as you did, I was obliged to take a new username and that GNHQ permitted me to change my name on one other occasion for personal reasons.
Why should this matter one jot to you? Why do you refer to it again and again as if if you take it as some personal affront?
Where are Bagitha, Gally, Rosequartz, Rosesarered, Soopergran and others? Still here.
So if it bothers you Jura2, get over it.
