I am putting this on a seperate thread...

No good anyone following me. They would soon find themselves up the proverbial gum tree. Where I seem to permanently reside.

The posts on this thread are rather obscure because, rightly I suppose, names are not being named.

However, as others have suggested, snarky comments, often from a double act, can be wearing to read even if you are not the intended target.

What I said, hours ago this morning, was relevant to stuff being posted elsewhere, at that time.

I am not going to give anyone the pleasure of spinning it out further.

Since I joined (? Oct.2013) I haven't seen arguments on here that upset me - most people can fend for themselves.
What I don't like (seen it elsewhere) is when a particularly strong person attracts a following group, and then they all attack any opposition. Someone recently mentioned leader of a coven.
Up to now, I haven't seen that on here.

And the sad face is laughable.

Oh FFS granjura. You really want a fight don't you?

Read a book. Or something. Pathetic.

Nothing wrong with my arguments. Bloody sight more sensible than some on here. And they don't come from up my backside, being as my head isn't there. Unlike some.

if you can't see just how wrong this is- then there is little hope, heat or no-heat!

is it the heat?

Soontobe why are you constantly reporting threads?

Greenfinch, you are correct, it is about nothing, in fact just a lot of hot air.I agree with POGS, there is too much ' poor little me' on a lot of threads.

Meanie!

Walnuts are much too expensive.
I joined Gransnet three + years ago when I needed some advice and a listening ear on a difficult time. I got that advice and comfort from many Gransnetters.
I nearly left shortly after that as there was a very vitriolic thread running with, what appeared many personal attacks, eventually some were given the red card and disappeared.
There have been many occasions when the empathy shown by GNers has been truly outstanding but also other times when the bitchiness truly awful.
Yes we should be able to express our sentiments freely but there is also the need to respect others opinions without personal comments, or comments taken to be personal. In some debates recently, in my opinion, a line has been crossed. In this I agree with the original poster.
A little light interlude within a thread is also ok. I feel the need also to add that I am not pointing any finger at anyone and if you think a finger is being pointed I wonder why.

What a peculiar thread ! It's all about nothing (of any importance ).

Now I wait for someone to tell me I am wrong (and it is about something ).

That's what usually happens.

Even current threads look like we need a 'Here we go again' emoticon.

You and me both Brendawymms!

And don't forget to put walnuts on top.

Actually, add walnuts, and make it coffee icing. Thank you.

Maybe I should make a double size coffee cake with chocolate icing and send it through the ether to everyone.

Have some of my . Mwah!

You and I Tegan are a totally separate, and different, thing altogether.

No soontobe not you. I am now very confused.

I just get p----d off with the posters who 'continually' dish out posts that are easily noted as being barbed , sarcastic turning themselves into 'victims' when they receive a dose of their own medicine.

I then get p----d off when others join in who have clearly not read a thread from the start to see who actually started the ruddy mud slinging or why a poster might be getting a response they don't like.

There is a case for having to defend yourself against a truly nasty , personally directed post or one that is accusary without any basis, I understand that. Hells bells is sarcasm a reason to feel victimised, maybe if you are a narcissist who never gets anything wrong it is.

If they were a bloke I would tell them to 'grow a pair'.

You/we/I are not 'victims' we are supposed to be adults but if you start it/dish it out expect to get it back, it will inevitably be a response you won't like but just take it on the bloody chin or give a reply but don't result to the childish Nee Na Na Nana of victimisation.

This post does not apply to any one person, it couldn't because there is no one person it applies to.

Do you mean me Brendawymms?

If you mean I dont take sides, yes you are right.

It seems to me that there are two "sides" on gransnet. Sometimes I happen to agree with one "side". And sometimes the other "side".

As I understand it though, this thread that jingl has started, has nothing whatsoever to do with that.

For what it is worth, I reported the Tunisia thread at about 7am this morning, to inform gransnet that it had all got rather heated in a number of ways.

jingle; pots calling kettles springs to mind. Some of your comments aimed at me have rocked me to the core sometimes #andyou'realwaystellingpeoplelto'manup'

I love that expression Brenda! No idea what is going on but from the above comments, I can guess!
