Not in the spirit of Gransnet

Ah, that's a lovely way of keeping your mum close.

MissA
I wear them daily (a clean pair each day)
Every time I put a pair on l think of my lovely mum whose sense of humour l also inherited. She would find it funny that I should tell people ?.
I tumble dry them so they fit better but after a days wear l realise l couldn’t wear them with a skirt because they would probably fall down ?

Or briefs.

I seem to be a bit out of it. Not sure what's going on. I can only say that I am grateful for the support/interest of Gransnetters since I joined.

I don't think you have to know what's going on to join in Dogsmakemesmile
It's not like the News and Politics threads where you have to be absolutely on top of your brief.

Did you keep them?

Knickers were part of my inheritance.
I would buy things for my mum and send them to her when l was working away.
After she died me and my brother were sorting through mums thing’s and l found some knickers that I had bought for her still with the labels on. My brother said
“You should have those” and l replied
“They will be too big for me” holding up a pair. “are you sure?” Came the reply ☹️?

Bossy posters can report threads they do not like and then they are removed.
Perhaps GN should refer to previous reports to check if its malicious reporting same for those members who are often reported

And others can report threads by bossy posters.

There is no need for anyone to hang around resenting being bossed about - just pull on your big girl knickers and either get in there and fight back or leave that thread and go and look at a different one. Bossy posters can't operate if no-one is cowed by them. To misquote another saying, no-one can bully you unless you let them.

There is a thread about big knickers.

Oh, thank goodness I noticed my typo before I posted!

You can log out, come back a few days later and find a thread still going, full up with people's made up narratives about someone.

I agree with you that you disagree with Elegran these people who bully write their posts in an underhand way some even direct. These people are gutless and weak.
I photo shopped the comments that they wrote and one even told a blatant lie about something l was supposed to have said.
They know who they are.

Maggiemaybe, in some quarters a Minnie means something quite personal! Minnie the Minx is just double trouble!!!!

Oh no, I really must keep up! Someone should tell those nice people at the Beano.

I disagree.

I don't tend to engage with people who write bullying comments. I think that what they write shows them up for who they are and they are unlikely to change just because I call them out. "Bullying" can be quite subjective too. In some cases it is just a strongly held view written without couching one's terms. I do think that most people try to disagree without intending to bully but sometimes you just have bad days when life is making you more grouchy than you need to be.

I'll have some of whatever you've had, then.

I feel like I have taken what I imagine magic mushrooms to be like.

My DD once sent me a list of text messages with hilarious typos which was doing the rounds.

I wish there was a threads I started button so I could update on my greenhouse and wildlife stories.

JaneJudge you could use the I'm Watching button which will list threads you might be particularly interested in.

Ah Callistemon the dreaded typo!
I work in higher education & once received an e-mail from a colleague at another institution asking me to deliver a lecture.
I meant to reply that I would have been happy to but that "I had a thing on in my own college". Unfortunately I was in a hurry & failed to proof read & the message went that sadly I would not be able to as I had a "thong on in the college"
I never heard from them again.

Yes, we are all different, but one thing I'm sure we all have in common is not wanting a pile on of strangers being spiteful to us.

Hello to you too Doodledog !

Sorry that was to Nice Granny. I am in a cafe and somehow the quote did not work.

I have never said anything about the post you are talking about.Your word was discriptive, mine was to say I did not let them bother me. I would have politely disagreed with you calling anyone a Trollop.
I must also add the post that concerned me was hurtful, I very rarely swear on Gransnet, but it is a truthful description if how I felt.

Well that has been very interesting. I only dip in and out of GN and when I see a post I might comment on there are usually already 3-4 pages of posts and someone has inevitably brought up the points I would have raised myself. As a relatively new GNer I see lots of regular posters. Are they the clique or coven? It never crossed my mind. Some people use GN more than others and enjoy a good debate and I always enjoy reading the ‘repartie’. Someone said earlier GNers are from far and wide and so we have all had different upbringings and find different things offensive. Some are more sensitive than others about words used (trollop, scum etc). Unless something is said that is directly bullying or slander or libel I think we are all old enough to take a few knocks from others being childish and insensitive to what we post. That’s the whole point of group discussion isn’t it? Or am I missing something?
