A respectful request

Yes, Elegran real ones.

Yes Elegran - good luck with that now! And jingle or whatever your name is by the time this is posted - knee jerk is always your excuse - why ffs don't you just think before you post - and you bloody well should have done on that thread!!

Compromise, so I have heard, is that tiny step toward my sensible point of view that the other bone-headed b****r refuses to take, however often I explain the desirability of such a move.

I thought you'd gone back to Mumsnet bluebell? "Funnier"...

Please, have some respect- please.

Bluebell do you really have to be quite so unpleasant?

Strange how one person can change the whole dynamics of a forum .

I wish I could think of a post which would send this thread into a more healthy direction, but my teeth are so set on edge that I can't.

It began as a perfectly reasonable and restrained request to keep the tribute thread as a tribute thread, but it has become an excuse for Bluebell to air her dislike of Jingle.

OK,*bluebell*, you have bared your fangs. We are under no illusions about your opinions. Now could you please butt out. Take your own advice and pause before posting. Jingle has made all right again with Granjura and there is no cause to you to be insulting. Your sour contribution was not in keeping with the thread.

Oh, and I have reported your comment. I don't report many.

Well said, Elegran. In some ways this is a thread about a thread which is not normally allowed but it took the 'discussion' away from the tribute thread which is a good thing.

This has all gone over my head. I don't understand why jinglbellrocks has apologised to granjura and I can't work out what granjura wants posters to respect.

Perhaps you should read the 'Tributes to Carol' thread, absent.

Exactly, absent a storm in a teacup and the thread soured.

Well said, Elegran.

Oh this is n' t fair. My post on the thread simply said "you too Granjura (meaning look after yourself too) And I said I miss Carol. What can be wrong with that?

Why does the name posted under matter?

I don't think I did upset Granjura.

There was nothing wrong with it, jingl.

Thank you, elegran. Spot on and brave to speak out.

I reported the nasty snappishness too but HQ in their wisdom don't think it's "deletable". Woteva. Goodnight all.

Goodnight Bags. I think my kindle fire is on the blink. It keeps wobbling.

I will be off soon. I have some exercises to do to get my muscles working again. I didn't get any when I went back to the hospital with my shoulder, but I found some on the website of a hospital (think it was in Oxfordshire) which seem very good. Some of them involve therabands, so I bought a set online and they arrived today.

Don't enjoy the one that has me hanging a towel down my back with my good arm, holding it at the bottom with the bad one, and pulling that one up my back as far as I can. It hurts! which I suppose means that it is doing good.

Ana Why didn't I think of that?

Of course jingle has not upset me, and didn't need to apologise (what for?). Respect I meant that we should not use this thread, or any for that matter, for bickering and scoring points- and respect the reason I posted on the Carol tribute thread. So I'll ask again, please- no bickering and no point scoring. Over and out.

Have a good Christmas all. Joyeux Noël.

Toi aussi, Granjura.

Can I just come out from behind the sofa and ask if jinglbellrocks is now your name and not yourusername123 or is it both?

This is my Christmas name.

The username thing was a stopgap. Which I wasn't supposed to post under. Just PM someone.

What were you doing behind the sofa?

#confusingtoo

I think your next name should be Rosa Rugosea
