Except, that's not true at all Mollygo I stick up for anyone who receives the behaviour I describe

Vs?

I'll go back to not replying to you at all again. That's how you can tell I don't engage in that behaviour

I only answered you because I strongly feel that if you are saying that any law breaking individual makes a genuine minority group look bad then that is scapegoating. That means rightful anger towards law breaking people is being taken out on genuine innocent victims

That is probably the 100th way I have tried to explain that to appeal to people's better natures and put a stop to the pain it causes others

It's wrong and as an intersectional feminist who understands that some women face huge amounts of sex discrimination as well as something like disability discrimination on top.. I can't say nothing

Gross?

Something wrong and not acceptable

I hadn’t realised GN while inclusive, included US teenagers.

Can you not do better than that?

Search your soul

Are you really not above policing language?

I'm happy to be referred to as part of 'the coven'

No, it was me you accused of being in a coven with just one other poster who left.

So I must be The Worst 🧙‍♀️ left all by myself.

I don't think I did. If I did, I'm impressed with my use of language!

Yes, you did.
Careless use of language, unfounded accusations which could have caused upset to anyone sensitive, (not to either of us because it was so ridiculous), but so easy to say and so easily forgotten.

If I did, I'm impressed with my use of language!
Why?
🤔
What does that mean exactly?

Maddy chicken probably.
Meghan’s specialties are roast chicken and lemon cake I believe

I do like a lemon cake especially lemon drizzle.
Or lemon pudding.
Not so keen on lemon chicken.

Saying that people are in a coven is particularly nasty. It’s obvious what you are calling them by implication.

VioletSky Sun 21-May-23 15:18:21

Witches are cool

Does no one read Terry Pratchett?

Vanillasky Sun 21-May-23 15:20:47

Did you know Aston Villa have scored the most own goals this season?
But not quite as many as GN. 🥅

Glorianny Sun 21-May-23 15:21:50

I want to be in a coven. I'm currently reading a book "In defence of witches."
I'd like some guidelines for it.
Cake seems to be vital.
Days out whatever the weather
Can we have wine as well?

lemsip I haven't posted on this thread since page 19, so your "same thing for 24 pages" is wildly inaccurate.

Got to be bananas in there too.

I thought Gagajo meant that she and the people she named were the clique? A little group always in agreement as on this thread?
My misunderstanding if not.

Other than that I see a lot of other posters on here who sometimes agree and sometimes disagree on various topics.

Using the word coven is just childish.
We're surely more adult than that.

Witches were the very opposite of cool were they not ?

I cannot agree there, Vanillasky 😁

Now banana cake is something different in this house! Has to have sultanas in it.

Jesus H. There has to be a better way to spend Sunday than reading this..covens and cliques. It’s childish.
Going back to the garden room with an ice cream.

That was quick Annie smile

Callistemon21 Sun 21-May-23 15:27:30

The sparrows are very bold today, one just hopped right near my foot.

That sounds like a line from 'Allo 'Allo

Very good, Anniebach

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 15:28:17

You have gone way beyond acceptability there Callistemon, sultanas sad

I've tidied my garden pots, just admiring the empty ones.
I might have to find another hobby. 🙂

Women have worked for a long time to claim derogatory terms as their own

We absolutely know who was called a witch back in the old days and silenced by any means necessary, stoned or drowned or burned.

It was women who were intelligent and capable and stood up for what was right in the world.

So no, it's no longer a negative to many of us

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 15:45:59

MN is known as a coven of witches because it is the the epicentre of GC thought. We do all our plotting there and are very v

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 15:46:56

I cant even be bothered to finish the sentence, it's too hot.

VioletSky Sun 21-May-23 15:49:37

Many platforms like reddit do not allow GC groups

Galaxy Sun 21-May-23 15:50:28

I know that would be an interesting legal challenge now.

VioletSky Sun 21-May-23 15:53:16

Hate speech was the problem there I think

The groups were attracting a lot of hatred for trans people and were not being moderated well
