An interesting piece on Radio 4 this morning.

Bridgeit Wed 15-Aug-18 21:11:46

And yes I do know that I have responded, but just to clarify I have only responded with reference to the
posters user name.

Bridgeit Wed 15-Aug-18 21:07:14

Who is likely to respond to a post from Iamnotarobot in the wake of Robotgate?
How stupid do you think we are,?or perhaps you were just enjoying a little lighthearted fun. Mildly amusing I suppose?

Iamnotarobot Wed 15-Aug-18 19:52:36

Momentum Associates London

Provided non-equity funding to Folcadata. Almost certainly mentorship.

Momentum Associates London/Nottingham is not the same as People’s Momentum. The clues in the name.

So ali g you now agree that your accusation that the Guardian opinion poll was by Momentum (the Labour movement) was wrong and that you confused it with “Momentum.London” which is a business helping startups?

An apology would be good.

True Nigglynellie, but If one is looking For more indepth knowledge there’s Nothing quite like finding / checking out somethings for yourself through multiple sources . I suppose it depends on how much interest in a given subject we each have as individuals .

No Bridgeit, I can't! allyg is much better read, and much better informed than I could ever be! Just a dim old granny me!

Grandad1943 Wed 15-Aug-18 10:34:34

I really must try harder to keep up..confused

Grandad1943 Wed 15-Aug-18 10:33:25

When statements started appearing about robots, I thought for a time that they were referring to those of us who use Android phones to post on here.....wink

Jalima1108 Wed 15-Aug-18 10:23:21

Well, I did say Amen
perhaps I should have said Our Men

Grandad1943 Wed 15-Aug-18 10:20:27

And I am definitely not considering having a sex change just to stay on GN....smile

Not Me.....grin

lemongrove Wed 15-Aug-18 10:17:23

The thread would go on Brid.....but hopefully not the insults.

Bridgeit Wed 15-Aug-18 10:13:33

Jalima can’t stop, there would be no thread?? catch you later?

Bridgeit Wed 15-Aug-18 10:12:06

All points taken on board, have to go out , will catch up later.

Jalima1108 Wed 15-Aug-18 10:07:37

just stop it!
Amen

lemongrove Wed 15-Aug-18 10:05:40

mostlyharmless are you ‘aving a laff? Your post of 09.41.53

Varian has just made an unpleasant comment ( which I thought was verboten on GN) saying that Allygran is not a real poster but a robotic responder from somewhere.
This was because Varian disagrees strongly with the posts that Allygran makes on here, and one or two others, hour good self included? were happily going along with that.....again because you disagree.
All I see on GN over and over, are insults from those who I would call extreme Remainers ( of which Varian is the head girl) aimed at anyone who has the temerity to say they voted to leave.
Accused of being ‘robot responders’, ‘Daily mail is their
bible’ ‘morons’ etc etc.
You are all mature women.....just stop it!

Jalima1108 Wed 15-Aug-18 10:03:47

Both avoid making personal attacks. I really hope they are not put off contributing to threads
Is it me but were they the ones doing the attacking? confused - or did I miss something?

I must say I was surprised, Bridgeit because I didn't think that was like you - unless it was meant as a joke but varian took it seriously.

varian uses reputable sources of information - but extremely one-sided and biased in favour of remain and perhaps posters would like to hear different points of view too.

I guess it’s a case of never the Twain shall meet - very true!

Perhaps respecting others' viewpoints should be the way forward, even if posters don't agree.

I speak as one who has been the recipient of rude remarks from a poster who has tried bullying other posters too and it is not pleasant.

Bridgeit Wed 15-Aug-18 09:52:50

Can you not find out for yourself Niggly.

nigglynellie Wed 15-Aug-18 09:50:03

Thank you ally, I look forward to hearing what else you find out about Momentum. Curiouser and curiouser!!
Likening somebody to a robot?!! Oh really ladies, how rude and completely idiotic is that?! The fact that ally is extremely well read and informed is clearly grating!!

Bridgeit Wed 15-Aug-18 09:45:18

Thank you so much Mostlyharmless, much appreciated, I guess it’s a case of never the Twain shall meet!?

mostlyharmless Wed 15-Aug-18 09:41:53

Varian and Bridgeit are two of the most polite and thoughtful contributors to these threads.
Bridgeit has been very careful to remain interested but neutral over the contentious aspects of the Brexit issue.
Varian is a strong advocate for Remain and always uses well thought out arguments and reputable sources of information.
Both avoid making personal attacks. I really hope they are not put off contributing to threads - that would make Gransnet a poorer place for reasoned discussion.
