Hasn't some of Gransnet got shrill?

Absent I'm not sure which thread(s) you are specifically referring to - I've only been on GN sporadically this week - but I have just read the MT thread, and 'shrill' isn't the word I would use.
Telling other posters to FO and calling them sh*t is not acceptable in any circumstances and I hope the moderators will take appropriate action.

j08 I have too. You posted frequently and at great length about David Walliams swimming the Thames and I thought your extreme excitement a little OTT. I apologised then and since – I don't know how many times – about upsetting you. Do you really have to bring that one up again? I should have thought in the general scheme of things it was pretty small potatoes.

I didn't "drag up" your comment; I merely remarked on it as an example of the direction in which Gransnet seems to have been moving recently. I could easily have picked half a dozen others.

Bloody holy?

Oh, would you really care if you were banned bluebell? It's a load of time wasting cobblers anyway.

Well I'm about to be banned - see MT thread but I've had a bloody nuff

Some people come across as natural bullies. No names!

But I have got a memory absent.

Oh and you're so bloody holy aren't you absent?!

I notice you 've dragged up one of my comments. I explained what I meant by that at the time.

You are just trouble making with this thread.

Than not that!

It would take more that a spat about that woman to split us all up.

Amazing, three similar posts within seconds!

Peace all

I really hope not, because when any of us have problems. We all rally round and help.
It would be such a shame if all the good that has been wrought disappeared down the proverbial Swanee.
I just hope that when the late lady baroness is buried all this ill will is buried with her!

There are, however, many threads where we are empathic and supportive of other members who are in various kinds of distress. There are spats from time to time - maybe in our off-line lives we don't encounter many people who have opinions diametrically opposed to ours and Gransnet gives us access to ways of thinking we don't relate to easily. There are many strong women with strong opinions and forceful ways of expressing them but there should be no reason why they can't tolerate and have regard for the opinions of others. A bit of humour doesn't go amiss either.

Absent As you rightly said its "That Womans fault." #ducksforcover.

To be fair I have seen much worse spats on here. As has been said before to some its water off a ducks back, others take it very much as an insult. I doubt if that can be changed.
