This one was pretty nasty….

It's just gobbledegook, sorry.

Maybe the poster will tell you what the last sentence actually said, then. And then you can decide if it was unpleasant or not.

Hey I’ll,take plenty of criticism but not a lack of sense of humour sorry !

I wasn’t objecting to the wholesale NS or SNP mocking, just what I perceived as unkindness to Alegrias.

Exactly, Lucca. That is what is bothering me.

But Marydoll, there was none before Alegrias said she was going (I thought she meant the thread)

Ah well, we must remember not to criticise the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon no matter which other politicians get it up them as Corporal Jones would say.

That, for those unaware, is from Dad's Army.

Storm in a teacup.

I am will repeat this. I am uncomfortable, with a poster being mocked, nothing else.
Whether you think she deserves it or not, it is not pleasant.
Absolutely nothing at all to do with the SNP element.

It's a pity that you took my post @ 11.09 on the 04.02.2022 so personally Maybee70 it didn't mention you, or anyone else, personally and so I'm quite surprised that it struck home with you as directly as it did. If you'd managed to read it properly, before requesting for it to be zapped, you'd have seen that it simply said: the majority of posters are perfectly capable of being appalled by major political news events, whilst still being able to enjoy the humour of nonsense such as this topic. But, if it was the closing sentence of that post that upset you, please know that it wasn't originally aimed at you personally; it was meant to be a general observation.

I did not request for it to be deleted. I was out for the rest of the afternoon. I did not assume that it was aimed solely at me. I did read the whole post. The last sentence was very unpleasant whoever it was aimed at or even if it was a generalisation. I repeat. I did NOT report it. You have jumped to a very wrong conclusion there.

So can I be clear here. Are you saying lucca that I was personally ‘winding up’ Alegrias? I haven’t replied or made any reference to any of her posts. In fact I don’t even know what she said or what’s been going on. Perhaps you could explain? Would you also please quote on this thread any references that I have made re Algerias.

Anyway I have said my piece and genuinely have to go out for the rest of the day … not the usual GN get out clause !

Me too, theres no point more of us making fools of ourselves!

No Lucca you are wrong. Look at the 5th or 6th comment down after the OP and Alegrias is off on one already "Get a life, honestly." I assume she was firing off at the OP.

And yes Alegrias is a very assertive poster. However she mostly gets cross about posts which are inaccurate!

Once again it’s not the SNP criticism! It’s the delight in winding up Alegrias..

In the school I worked in before retirement the classroom doors were fire doors. I remember it cost a fortune to have them fitted following a H&S inspection by the local authority. Opening the windows should ventilate the room. If this story is true it’s totally crazy!!

Pretty nigh Impossible to open some of the windows where I taught.

I'm not sure it was you who banged in the final nail (carpentry again!!) * Callistemon*. The poster said, "Throw in a bit of name calling and we're all done.
Yes, I am annoyed" a page or so before your innocuous post. Who riled her and why at that point I have no idea.

Can I make it clear that I was referring to the OP Lucca re the chopping off of doors and nothing else so please don’t make make assumptions about me that are completely untrue.

Lucca

I was not referring to you Callistemon. And I would not and did not report anyway.
There were however personal comments about being thrilled that the poster in question was getting riled.

I am glad I was not alone.

But Aleg said she was leaving after my post about it being a fun thread, which I thought was an innocuous post.
There is nothing offensive in it whatsoever.

It's a pity we can't have a daft thread or two in these miserable times. It makes a change from all the angst and did remind me of the fun that used to be had on GN in the dim and distant past before it became so spiky.

No, you are not alone Lucca

Crossed post Elegran. The stick comment was general.

It's not particularly funny when that one poster constantly and deliberately targets a couple of others either. No one surely wants to perpetuate this atmosphere where sides are taken in a personal manner.
I believe she will return because there was a similar issue before.

If I had seen any poster being thrilled that another was getting riled I would certainly have reported it. Winding someone up and causing them to"lose the heid" is the intention of trolls. If it was said as a provocative deliberately personal dig, then it definitely deserved reporting.

Me too Lucca, it’s not funny in any way when one poster is targeted like that.

Thank you Marydoll.

Oh, and there was silly me thinking you were referring to a carpenter's stick.

Oh, this caught my eye, because my father had one, many moons ago.
It has been an amusing thread and I have enjoyed it.

However, I do feel for the poster, who flounced off.
Rarely in agreement with her and we have often crossed swords, normally a prolific poster, she seems to have disappeared off the scene.
I do hope she feels she can come back and post in her inimitable way.
