Gransnet or Nannynet?

I missed all this by being on holiday. I have a Gransnet meet up this week so am looking forward to be relayed all this first hand.

Didn't see so

Don't rely on me*Teetime*, I didn't see it either! pompa and I were obviously together doing something else - shame I can't remember what! .

Careful Kitty or we might have to impose an "X" cert.

I either didn't see it or can't remember (confused] - I don't read all the threads!
Perhaps I was with pompa and kitty but I can't remember that either! (sorry pompa)

OMG, a threesome now, it get's worse

Sorry pompa it is now a foursome

jingl why do you assume everyone reads your threads?
I didn't read it either.

Sorry pompa it is now a foursome

I am now singing!

There were four in the bed and the little one said
Roll over, roll over
So they all rolled over
and one fell out

Oh - perhaps five if janea joins us

Completely and utterly

But slinging vitriol at other members is hardly in the spirit of liberalism either. Is it?

All of this totally passed me by. What didn't pass me by way the unpleasant comments directed at Soutra who surely didn't deserve any of it.

jingl
I learnt from the pompa episode, that no matter how often a poster is on grnanset, not all posters, will know another poster by a long way.
I also realised, that by the same token, not everyone will read all threads, by a long way. No matter if they are witty or have capital letters or whatever. And no matter, what time of day, or which day they are posted.

For what it is worth, from a religious point of view, it sounds like the thread wasnt really suitable was it? Soutra does have a point.

It is probably quite likely, that we will all get at least one post or thread deleted while we are on gransnet, even possibly unfairly. That is the nature of gransnet and internet forums.

I don't think that's at all likely in the case of a great many Gransnetters, soontobe!

Four years and counting, I don't think I've ever had a post deleted, soon. However, I am open to correction!

trisher I think you need to re-read A Modest Proposal. Swift's suggested "solution" to the problem of famine in Ireland was much harsher than that.

"from a religious point of view" ???

There was nothing religious about it! What are you talking about?! And I am sick of your bloody self satisfied preaching.

That was to soontobe.

And I repeat. The posts to me from Soutra came across as plain nasty. And if you bother to read the thread it is there in black and white.

I do not know the personal details of posters' lives, and I think it is unreasonable that we cannot defend ourselves without other posters coming on and calling us "snide", which I take as an insult. this is a forum. If you are feeling that fragile don't have a pop at others, because, in my case, it will come right back at you.

jingl. Someday in the future you may like me again. It is how you are

Tell me jingl, why is ok for you to describe Soutra as having 'precious sensibilities' ( which sounds sarcastic whether you intended it or not) and to tell Farnorth not to 'worry her pretty little head' ( also comes across as sarcastic), and then further down the thread, complain that you yourself are the recipient of snide remarks?
I have never actually seen any snide remarks levelled at you, but I've seen you fire off plenty yourself.

I missed it too - I think. Either that, or didn't notice anything offensive and missed it being deleted. I hate it, really hate it when GN delete something, and I didn't see it.

And if something is deemed to need deleting, please can we have a reason other than it breaching the guidelines? I want to know which ones. Obscenity? Liability? Bad language? Bad taste? Not something a grandparent should say?

Soono be Are you sure that jingl liked you in the first place, never mind again? She can be quite capricious in her likes and dislikes. (jingl That is not any kind of criticism of you.)

Soono be*…and that is just one glass of pre-dinner wine. Whoops! *soontobe is of course the poster I was addressing.

Oh bugger. I think I should just log off and hit the whole bottle!

Language absent

I don't think I've ever had a thread deleted and would be if I did!
