Not in the spirit of Gransnet

Threads about threads have always been deleted. It's a question of hedging around the subject without actually saying it was on another thread. Maybe it's GNHQ making sure we keep our wits about us. Or maybe it's like on Fawlty Towers- "Don't mention the war!"

"Pisters" is so funny! Best laugh all day. thanks.

Can I join the “Pisters” clique? It’s been a long day and I’m weary.

Pisters is a very funny typo.

certain posters
bossy posters

My thoughts exactly . These whiny stirring the pot type posts do not end well, make people feel uncomfortable wondering if they are "provocative" or members of "a coven".

Yes some do seem to feel rather uncomfortable

So many deleted threads - looks like I missed so much!

'Pisters' (said with a French accent!)
It sounds very exclusive.
You start it off Blossoming and I'll second you

pisseur de copie ?

I blame the Russians.

Or sunspots.

Or Covid.

Piston broke- poster with no money?

It’s not really that ‘thread about a thread’ thing. That’s an excuse.
How can talking about a thread be ‘against the spirit’?

It’s more the fact that it’s bitching about each other

That’s why they get deleted.

I don’t know why HQ just don’t come out with it.
‘No bitching allowed’ ?

Guess we are all from different backgrounds and what some would say is bitchy others might find amusing. Some are easily offended, some are not. After the Coven left, a year or so back, it seems to me there is not a great deal of bitching and nastiness here. Or at least, being in a different time zone, it has gone by the time I look. Probably a good thing I suppose.

Ok, perhaps I should not have said bitching, but we can’t talk about each other and keep referring to ‘certain posters’. It just creates tension and upset.
I thought that it was obvious !

I have no idea who ‘the coven’ are / were?

More playground nonsense.

Wwm indeed! What coven ?
Ive thought things rather dull recently is that why all this nonsense?

Was there a coven I wasnt invited to. I take offense at that.

Not again!
Isn't this pretty much a rerun of yesterday's deleted thread with the added bonus of a few posters tittering about a typo in the OP?

Well some posters obviously feel that there is a problem so why not be sympathic to them instead of the usual sarcastic posts. Perhaps the ones posting that there isn't a problem/cliques /bullying are the actual problem.

Sorry should we just tolerate people calling people names. Is that that the rule now.
