Thank you for flowers and kindness ladies.

maddyone Sun 21-May-23 10:52:49

I do hope that wasn’t directed at me Gaga.

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 10:52:21

Yes I agree Maddy it does take courage.

maddyone Sun 21-May-23 10:51:43

I’m glad you’ve apologised GagaJo. It takes courage to apologise publicly.

What do you mean volver? I’m not sure I understand.

I mean that there are a lot of posters on here that say the most disgusting things about, in this case M&H; how they set it all up, how they deserve everything they get, and so on.

And others who join in saying less contentious things but think its OK to make up the most outrageous things about people because they put 2 and 2 together to make 5, so it must be true.

Look at some of the comments on this page, which I'll not be answering, because they are puerile. This is the kind of people the anti-M&H types are, and those who side with them are cut from the same cloth.

This is my point Fanny.

Thank you Vanillasky, Maddy and Shep thanks

On a discussion about gender the other day volver kindly told me that my children wouldnt have anything to do with me. So perhaps you need to include her in your condemnation gagajo alongside the gender critical.

FannyCornforth Sun 21-May-23 10:48:58

Thank you for your apology Jo

I share many of Volver’s opinions, always have, probably always will do.
It’s her attitude towards posters on here that I dislike, not just this thread.
Volver knows all of this.
We were actually friends for a good while, or so I thought

FannyCornforth is most certainly not a rabid right winger. If that is implied, it is absolutely incorrect.
I’m not sure there are many, if any, rabid right wingers on here, although I have noticed some people are more right of centre, and others more left of centre. Neither is a crime! Neither deserve to be insulted. We are all allowed our views without being insulted or bullied. It’s a discussion forum for goodness sake.

I have only seen one poster persistently hounding on here.

Just to explain (although I have no obligation to do so I know) that I left the thread yesterday, not as one poster suggested because it was too hot in the kitchen, but because I had to get ready and leave my hotel room by the required time, and yes, it was hot in there, but I was nowhere near a kitchen! We then went to visit my niece and we had lunch with her (stayed three hours) after which we drove home, a journey of some five hours.
Re a deleted post that was apparently directed at me, I did not see it, because I was attending the funeral of my father in law, which is why we were away from home. I was not going to mention that on any thread, but it seems it needs to be said. Thank you to those posters who have given me support.
I have not changed my opinion about the subject of this thread, and I will not be bullied off a thread, but I did have other reasons leave the thread on both days.

FannyCornforth Sun 21-May-23 10:31:23

GagaJo Perhaps you haven’t noticed my comments to you, and the views that I hold.

Insinuating that I’m a ‘rabid right winger’ is wide off the mark - I’m a member of the Labour Party.

You have admitted yourself that you don’t pay much attention to what is said on here, and it’s evident

FannyCornforth Sun 21-May-23 10:25:34

Well that wasn’t very nice Jo

I’ve always been pleasant and decent to you, even pming you with my genuine condolences when you suffered a bereavement.

There really was no need for that.

I’ll remember to ignore you in future

Anniebach Sun 21-May-23 10:22:25

End of thread , again

Rosie51 it was months - maybe years - ago. It is possible that you just missed the bit where I apologised for any upset?

No of course not, I must be in the wrong, of course. So you seem compelled to bring it up months later, into even completely unrelated threads, and in this case have caused even more upset and confusion.

Rosie51 Sun 21-May-23 09:47:17

volver you never did explain, in fact you refused to. It did show you in a bad light and that's why you refused to explain.

volver3 Sun 21-May-23 09:43:11

I used a phrase months, maybe years ago, explained what I mean and apologised for any upset. I think Rosie51 likes to bring it up as often as she can thinks it shows me in a bad light.

I'm away to the other N&P threads, less danger there.

You can be really brave there.

Vanillasky Sun 21-May-23 09:40:21

Not your fault Rosie51, you didn't mean to say something hurtful on purpose. I am not the poster to whom GSM refers, but do understand.

Anyway, if anyone is in the slightest bit interested ...... talking of choosing one's own catastrophe, here's my thoughts.

I'm no expert in MH, and certainly no one knows how damaged Harry really is, but maybe he could have used his private suffering over Diana to help others improve the quality of their lives. I thought that was to be his aim with the MH project set up before he married Meghan? That pledge seems to have fizzled out somewhat. To be fair he does still try in this area, but it's all about his own feelings.

As an aside, my DH was a pal of Christopher Reeve who always said he refused to allow his disability determine how he lived his life. This was the start of celebrities offering to do good works from something bad in their lives, like Harry did with the Invictus Games, except Harry spends the other 51 weeks of the years dwelling on all the negatives, licking his wounds, bleating on about himself and erasing all the good. Someone with a true desire to help others has to become more selfless too.

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 21-May-23 09:33:25

Sorry if I misunderstood Rosie. Sincere apologies.

FannyCornforth Sun 21-May-23 09:29:33

Rosie can you explain what you meant please, as I honestly didn’t understand your usage of the words/ phrase.
PM me if you’d prefer.
Thank you smile
