Why do they think our posts on here are so all-important to us that they have to contact us before deleting one, to give us a chance to "withdraw the post" of our own volition. confused It's a website. On the Internet. It's not holy.

And while I'm on the subject, I'm 73 FGS! I do not appreciate young whippersnappers, even if they do call themselves 'GNHQ' talking down to me as if I am a naughty schoolgirl. hmm

What are you on about, jingl?
Are you wanting another namechange?

Anne58 Sun 09-Aug-15 17:52:45

Oh dear!

Anne58 Sun 09-Aug-15 17:55:21

PS jingl I can sense (call me sensitive in that respect!) your anger, and of course if you are upset you have every right to say so, but perhaps referring to "huge egos" might not be the most tactful way of going about it? confused

Ana Sun 09-Aug-15 17:56:40

Why would jingl start a thread like this just because she wanted another name change? confused

Might GNHQ have been trying to be nice to you?

Luckygirl Sun 09-Aug-15 18:04:53

Sounds like good manners to me.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 09-Aug-15 18:08:45

And I'm sure my reply was excellent manners too. smile

Ana Sun 09-Aug-15 18:11:33

I'm sure you expressed your opinion convincingly, jingl. smile

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 09-Aug-15 18:14:28

What's wrong with saying "huge egos"? Is there a double entendre there? shock

granjura Sun 09-Aug-15 18:19:23

This thread says it all, so won't add to it....

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 09-Aug-15 18:20:37

Bye!

Probably for a long time. grin

Ana Sun 09-Aug-15 18:23:38

sad

downtoearth Sun 09-Aug-15 18:25:30

oh Dear hmm

granjura Sun 09-Aug-15 18:27:12

another name change on the way ... roastchicken

merlotgran Sun 09-Aug-15 18:28:51

Don't go, jingl sad

ginny Sun 09-Aug-15 18:37:05

I'd say it was good manners. Maybe you didn't realise how the post might sound to others and I suppose if it was against the rules of the site then 'rules is rules'.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 09-Aug-15 18:37:28

OMG no!!! I'm not going! I only mean off this thread. Sorry!

The 'probably' bit was in case I get banned.

Ana Sun 09-Aug-15 18:38:16

I want to know what the post was! grin

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 09-Aug-15 18:39:09

Apologies for confusing people. (but it's nice to be wanted grin)

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 09-Aug-15 18:40:18

They linked to two posts, but the link only went to one. on the MIL thread. Don't know what the other post was.

Luckygirl Sun 09-Aug-15 18:41:08

jingl - you know that many of your posts are provocative, and I am sure it is entirely deliberate. Many of us have no problem with that bit of spice in the mix. I am sure that you are fully aware of the possible backlash. If you give it out, then you have to be prepared to get a reaction, as presumably it has this time - although I have not the faintest clue of the detail of this incident. I have a feeling that you would be bitterly disappointed if no-one ever rose to your bait! Just take it on the chin, or confine yourself to bland contributions! grin

Ana Sun 09-Aug-15 18:43:36

As if...grin
