I have only seen one poster persistently hounding on here.

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.

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

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 10:50:16

Thank you Vanillasky, Maddy and Shep thanks

maddyone

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.

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

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

Yes I agree Maddy it does take courage.

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

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

maddyone Sun 21-May-23 10:53:19

Thank you for flowers and kindness ladies.

I most certainly did not 😕

Proof?

FannyCornforth Sun 21-May-23 10:55:12

Oh, so I’m siding with people who I don’t necessarily agree with, now!

Your apology is now rendered meaningless.

I don’t care what you think about me Jo, but could you please stop directing comments at me now.

I don’t want to feel ‘hounded’, thanks.

volver3 Sun 21-May-23 10:55:46

maddyone I'm very sorry to hear about your FIL.

I would just like to make the following point.

When some favoured posters say they are leaving a thread, that's acceptable. And yes, sorry, but I do include you maddyone, although I don't think any of it is your doing.

When others, who are slightly less popular, say they are leaving a thread, they get told that nobody's interested, why are you telling us that, that its a typical response from them, that its getting too hot in the kitchen. They get asked why they are perpetually hanging around.

That hasn't all happened on this thread.

But the double standards and the attempts to discourage people who face doesn't fit with the gang, they are breath-taking.

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 10:56:36

I cant I reported it and it was deleted. It was amongst the discussion on pronouns.

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 10:57:22

I had a

maddyone Sun 21-May-23 10:57:34

So it seems it was directed at me. I could comment on all those subjects but would completely derail the thread.

Foxygloves Sun 21-May-23 10:58:18

The nastiness of recent deleted posts on this thread and elsewhere leads one to think they may not be emanating from the peaceable majority you decry as
the rabid right wing, defenders of monarchy, decriers of the scrounging unemployed and asylum seekers, preservers of white privilege,(who) dominate some threads

Any bile spewed has certainly not originated from “them” (whoever “they”are)
You add
And without anyone to put the opposite point of view, to balance the narrative, it could appear the vicious opinions are held by all of us
This is a public site. Don't try to hound other members off. You leave if you don't like listening to Volver or others you disagree with
Nobody is “hounding” anybody.
When in a hole..stop digging.

Callistemon21 Sun 21-May-23 10:59:02

I have never, ever seen FannyCornforth expressing those views and your apology was disingenuous and mealy-mouthed, Gagajo - a politicians' apology in fact.

"I'm sorry if I offended you" is NOT an apology.

Foxygloves Sun 21-May-23 11:00:12

“I am sorry I offended you “ is more like a sincere apology.

maddyone Sun 21-May-23 11:00:53

Thank you for your condolences volver.
I did have genuine reasons as I noted to leave the thread on both days, and shortly I will need to do so again as my sons are coming for lunch. Many of us come to Gransnet to relax, chat, discuss, and then get on with real life. So we have to leave threads. It’s usually that simple for me. I can’t comment on what others do.
