Diversity

Gransnet members agreed with the anti Trump dismissal by Boris Johnson, the Met etc. Nobody is saying otherwise, but ooh no, you had to go and ask how many people had intimate knowledge of all of the London boroughs or else you wouldn't take any notice. You dismissed anything anybody said whether or not they lived or worked there and decided that because it was quite possible that radicalisation was taking place behind closed doors QED great swathes of London were indeed no go areas.
Pages and pages of sticking your fingers in your ears and going "La, la, I'm not listening".
You know what your attitude reminded me of?

Doubting Thomas

Ostrich more likely!????

This should have been on the Katie Hopkins thread of course. Distinction getting more and more blurred.

No more soon

Kindly put anniebach. This suggestion has been made before but I'm afraid we've once again been suckered into the attention-seeking egocentric world that is soon's.

Anniebach, as soon says, some things "can't be wiped out of brains".

For some unknown reason, one thing that has stuck firmly in my brain is one of soon's very first posts, when she said how much she enjoyed winding people up. And no, I have no intention of searching for it!

Just behave yourself in future Alea

A lot of is do lurk on Mumsnet
My DIL might think I'm spying on her if I do that!

And last but not least:
Galen how do you do those other emoticons? Very impressive!
I can't see them, all I can see is a little square

Sorry, can't take this thread seriously (which means my last but one remark wasn't the last one)

I most certainly did not say that Maggiemaybe!
I reported petra earlier today for telling lies.
And will not hesitate if anyone else starts that malarkey!

I am going to report you too.
Either that, or you find the slightest bit of evidence[as perhaps you have me muddled with another poster] of which there isnt any to find.
Or else say sorry, as you know you have completely made something up.

Did HQ agree that she was telling lies? No, don't answer that, we don't need to know.

I do think I remember a different poster saying that she loved winding people up.

Memories are long but uneven.

Well, as Petra's post's still there it seems GNHQ didn't agree with you, soontobe.

Report away, soon! As you say, if only we had a decent search facility....

I told them I wanted it recorded Ana.

Everyone can start to write all sorts of things they think someone has said on this forum, without a shread of evidence. Which is what Maggiemaybe has just done.

Is that really where everyone wants this forum to go? It would stop gransnet in its tracks.

People had better think very carefully about this.

Being tired and forgetful is one thing. Making things up about what they think anyone has said, completely out of the blue, with nothing whatsoever to back it up, is quite another.

Or repeated hints of what someone has said, again with no evidence whatsoever.
People are ok with that? Report it. It then becomes recorded.

I am 91, and a black wheelchair using lesbian. Bra size 48FFF. I have 20 great GC and my OH is Russian, aged 102 and is going skiing this winter. I can do diversity!

Alea if you want to start a thread on diversity because you are interested in what other Gnetters think, why not just do it rather than quote soon?

Really? I've never known GNHQ to offer the option of having a reported post 'recorded'. To what purpose?

Very odd.

Do you really think GNHQ keep a list of 'recorded' unfounded complaints?

Especially when it's an opinion which is obviously going to be disagreed with by nearly everyone, including yourself!!!

I asked a question (second line)
I then gave one sidel of the argument which happened to be my own opinion
(lines 3 - 7)
I then opened it for discussion (one 8) with a closing opinion couched in the form of a question.
A fairly run of the mill format for initiating a proposal and counter proposal in a debate.
Your point is...?

Things go in peoples' memory Ab.
So for instance, for posters to say who knows whether we are diverse or not, well when many photos have been published, in=t cant be wiped out of brains that there were not many afro carribeans among regulars
And a whole load of other details cannot be wiped from brains either

I think this is what Maggiemaybe was referring to. Sounds a lot like some things can't be wiped out of brains to me. Apology in order???

Oh for heaven's sake soon! I seldom comment on this kind of thread but you really are becoming extremely irritating. Reporting people? What do you think is going to happen then.....fine, community service, electronic tagging?? It's positively juvenile.

As for 'information' being kept, posts not deleted etc, do you know what? I don't care. Once it's out there, it's out there, and if I don't want it out there it's up to me to police myself. Can all your life be told in open court soon?

Some of us have RL health and personal problems which we are trying to work through whilst still ensuring that Xmas goes ahead.

Maybe you need to spend more time in RL instead of manufacturing issues out of nothing

It is her second paragraph her and I are referring to. Sigh.

I agree, Katek. Grow up, soontobe.

I'm off this thread.

post to Alea.

Katek. I clear my name. Truth is top of my personal agenda. In rl and everywhere.

If people stop posting about it, then there is no problem.
