Arguments attract aggressors.

Anya didn't get any full fury as it would have meant some posters exposing themselves (as it were!!)

But I have to say that Soutra's reply to Magpie was unpleasantness poorly disguised as humour, and anyone who thought it funny is either complicit or too nice to look behind the lines.

Soutra

You seem convinced the majority of GN members have sad lives magpie, so presumably you must see your mission as one of entertaining us and cheering us all up, can't wait!

You aren't the only one who's emoticon-bereft rosequartz , I guess I haven't been around long enough or am too IT-clueless to grasp the basics! If they don't appear in the list at the bottom then that's that!

Anya didn't get any full fury though, magpie so we are perhaps not as sad as you thought. In fact, there seems to be quite a lot of humour and tolerance on this thread. There usually is unless someone intolerant or agressive comes along with their two-pennorth.

Anya well said. Sad lives that all I can think of.

I can do this one though

That would be YOU then Rosequartz!

And peeple who cant get the emoticonns

I hope they don't confiscate our

That would be mean!

Luk out fer badd speling roseserredd that is orlways an indikayshen of a newcummer.

[tbhgrin]

True, Ana, and now we are in there is no stopping us!

I must admit I have not seen these new posters Elegran, but don't always bother to trawl through long threads.

you are in such trouble.

Don't mention flashing...

If only we could find a way to put a moving, or a flashing one, up. That would get 'em worried.

Oh, they must have noticed by now! Anyway, it's not our fault, someone in the tech department must have forgotten to lock the cupboard...

I think you are gonna be in BIG trouble when they see you've been raiding their emoti stash!

It's not me. I didn't do it. [halo]

But you haven't walked away Nelliemoser

What I cannot understand is how some posters seem to find it it impossible to walk away.
Many of these threads reach a point where anything that can be said about an issue has been said.

At which point it is time to go home, or have some harmless fun hacking GNHQs stash of emoticons.

and those with the complicated codes. We need a Dove of peace.

You're right Ariadne, there are far more important things...

Oh, I am so sorry! And it was stupidly trivial of me to mention it anyway. in the great scheme of things, all this doesn't really matter

Perhaps they wrote letters in green ink to their local newspapers?

it's a scary world out there that I didn't know existed!

What did these people do before the www - go around shouting at everyone or suppressing their hatred and angst?
