Not in the spirit of Gransnet

It is very simple to understand, in fact.

Not to me and many others it isn't. It is giving an, I am sure inaccurate, impression that no one is allowed to question or express concern about a style of posting that many find intimidating, upsetting and off putting. And if they do, their posts and threads will be reported and zapped.
Surely it is in Gransnets interest to correct this unfortunate impression?

We are not allowed threads about threads.

you ought to reread your own OP

Why lemsip? Genuine question.

i have heard it was so and so

I missed all this. I posted on the original thread and when I looked again it was gone. I didn’t see the other thread that you started and I suppose this one will go too. It kind of proves what the original OP said. Ridiculous really. Nothing I read warranted deletion.

Yes I expect this thread will be deleted with some vague and bland explanation. Very disappointed in Gransnet HQ today.

But there was no question of individual posters being named despite provocation from the very posters who objected to the thread

That's me beswitched is talking about just so everyone knows. Its years since I have been called provocative

Nor were any GN rules broken in my OP. Strange days Indeed.

Well what have I missed now?

Yes very strange. I've really lost respect for Gransnethq tonight. The first thread should never have been deleted.

I didn't see the other threads, but I really dislike threads or posts about 'some people'.

The ones concerned probably don't think they are about them, and others start to worry that everyone hates them, and nothing ever gets resolved. Far more assertive to just say 'XYZ is what upset me, and give an example.

Oh, I know, me too.

I shouldn't have gone out and met up with Real People.

That was my point…the “some posters are bullies”. Thing that keeps cropping up. I find it infuriating and a bit “whingy”.

posters were named!
and then we just have to work out who is bossy?

Some are and some feel bullied. I’m not aware of any names being mentioned and if I remember correctly the OP felt that GN had become rather cliquey and that certain posters felt they could run/moderate threads and this made other, less robust, posters feel uncomfortable.

bossy posters

they are usually the ones that are trying to silence the others #SimonPegg

<laughs at own joke>

I agree with tickingbird; "cliquey" is how a lot of things come over and if you're not in the know/swim/whatever you might as well not bother.
