Whitew "The way to treat toddlers who can’t get their own way and refuse to move is to ignore them." that happens on here too Leavers treat me like that when they can't/won't answer my simple questions.

Your snipe at Grandad about GN couldn’t be more wrong.

Ask GNHQ

There is nothing beneficial about Brexit.

That is why leavers have such difficulty in replying

I could be wrong, maddyone, but I believe the name GRANSnet (as you name it) was chosen to be neutral and so inclusive of men as well as women.

We can argue with Grandad1943 about the content of his post if we wish, but not his right to post.

Given the number of patronising posts which appear on these forums, any criticism of Grandad on this front, might be seen as sexist.

It might be seen as sexist Amagram, but unfortunately that is just the behaviour that I think he himself exhibits.

I don't know how many times on Gnet people have been told to 'play the ball, not the man' (though I think it would be more appropriate that 'man' should be changed to 'person' )

Grandad is perfectly entitled to post on here, using whatever style he likes. Please stop attacking him, maddy. If you have a response to his content, then respond. Pulling the 'sexist' card is just silly.

Obviously the members of Grandad’s fan club will disagree with me, however lecturing and belittling women is a common sexist behaviour. This is what I have observed.

You tempt me to 'attack the person', maddy, but I won't...

Must admit Maddyone granddad1943’s predictable long-winded response to a possible December election prompted my two line perfect solution (instituted by his beloved Labour Party I hasten to add).

Some people like to complicate life and some of us prefer to find solutions to complications thrust upon us by ALL politicians.

There are times when I would take over Gabby's position as thread controller and say 'enough is enough, move on' but I know I can't Suspect the thread will close soon.

Of course men can and do post on GN and there are a few of them around, mostly low key posters it has to be said, as they no doubt feel outnumbered, however it’s the style of posting that often puts other posters backs up.Lecturing posts, by either men or women are a bore.

Moving on......
I hope Labour will follow the Lib Dems and SNP in backing a GE in Parliament next week.

Labour are going to follow many Tory MPs and either vote against or abstain, - doesn’t matter which.
