to post any story at all about Meghan and Harry no matter how lacking in evidence from whatever gutter source? Can they just be libelled by posts on GN because it’s open season on them and they therefore have no rights? Opinion is one thing but on here it’s now often inseparable from lies.

Let it go...

ananimous Tue 28-Jan-20 22:31:36

That's scraping the bottom of the barrel.

The only "madness" was when you started flinging abuse and nastiness around ananimous. No need for what was said to lucy today; it was completely out of order, hence it's deletion.

ananimous Tue 28-Jan-20 22:14:11

There really is a collective madness here...

Elegran Tue 28-Jan-20 20:56:42

If you shoot in all directions, people will shoot back at you from all directions. No need to gang up or be a posse - just individual responses.

ananimous Tue 28-Jan-20 19:55:29

Elegran Are you moderating today? Mmm.
Keep your powder dry, I'm happy to ignore your well meaning advice.

You are determined to find offence, and misunderstand my posts - which were not replying to you in any case.

Stop ganging up on me with your troll posse - That really is against GN guidelines.

Elegran Tue 28-Jan-20 19:37:07

Soooo ananimous, do you think it Ok to accuse someone of approving of paedophilia, wanting an age of consent of 13, or not caring if their own children being abused? That isn't free speech, it is personal abuse

If you believe so strongly in free speech, then you won't be upset by me saying that are using Gransnet to throw verbal acid into people's faces.

If you keep it up, you will find that GNHQ take a dim view of personal abuse of posters, the result being that not only are most of your posts deleted, but your membership too. Would you then move to some other social media site? You'll be running out of them soon. Why should anyone hold a conversation with such a virago?

Alexa Tue 28-Jan-20 18:42:07

Waht do you mean, Ananimous?

ananimous Tue 28-Jan-20 18:33:27

We differ on views, so what, move along...

If it was your child though? sad

Alexa Tue 28-Jan-20 18:32:51

Chestnut, I guess I saw the same TV programme as you.

As for 'Site Stuff' I believe my remarks on uses and abuses of gossip apply to Gransnet as to any other social media.

And as to viewing illegal porn online, it't not only illegal to view it, it's also immoral to view it, because the porn site owners earn money from others' suffering, and every time someone views a porn site the owner earns money.

Chestnut Tue 28-Jan-20 17:58:22

Well you certainly sent shock waves through this thread Alexa ? and started something!

MerylStreep Tue 28-Jan-20 17:20:34

Am I the only one having a deja vu moment Re ananimous posts?

Alexa Tue 28-Jan-20 17:17:21

I remember why I posted on this thread. It was because I wanted to write to you about gossip. My general idea about gossip is it can be useful if it does not harm anybody. It's also useful if it illustrates some evil -doing.

Suziewoosie's original post I take to be about gossipy media. I don't read these but years ago I did and I complained to News of the World editor about some teacher who had killed himself as a result of News or the World destroying his reputation for a trivial misdemeanor. I mean, even a true story ought not to be reported unless it has some use apart from arousing sensations in the readers.

Alexa Tue 28-Jan-20 17:07:08

Yes, I think I must have posted on the wrong thread.

I think ananimous's horrible post should be removed and so have reported it. Truly horrible thing to say about anyone and you should be ashamed of yourself.

lemongrove Tue 28-Jan-20 14:37:49

I think Alexa must have posted on the wrong thread.

ananimous......some strange posts from you with a lot of inappropriate ‘LOLS’ going on.hmm

Chestnut Tue 28-Jan-20 14:15:44

Wooah! Alexa started this by suddenly posting about paedophiles! Why? And where is she? We need an explanation.

I don't think anyone is supporting paedophiles! Get a grip Ananimous.

MawB Tue 28-Jan-20 14:09:44

Who are you inveighing against now Ananimous ?

lucywinter Tue 28-Jan-20 13:59:25

DON'T YOU DARE SAY I SUPPORT PAEDOPHILES. angryangry angry]

ananimous Tue 28-Jan-20 13:32:50

Jerry Lewis - paedo Chuck Bery - paedo

Roman Polanski - paedo etc

ananimous Tue 28-Jan-20 13:30:25

I'm happy to let you enjoy your own opinions. Please allow me to opine my own.

Telling me about different state laws in USA - ??? Lol!

SoOoo to be clear, you are ok with the age of consent being as low as 13. (?) (Lol!) (Holding up paedos to support your case (different state laws) He crossed state lines so he would escape the laws there. A narcissist and user of children.

I note that none of you arguers are prepared to say what you feel about your own kin being groomed in this way. (Lol!)

That omission says more to me about you than anything.
