Open letter to all Gners

merlot you've out-braved me! Even I didn't dare say that.

Naughty Merlot As if . . . . .

Please, Please morph this thread off to something more interesting.

I don't care who reported my thread, I don't believe there was any malice, they had every right if they thought it warranted it, each to his/her own.

Time to close this thread and open some new more interesting ones, someone, please, pretty please.

Wanna bet?

This thread could give War and Peace a run for its' money Unbelievable! I bet GandTea didn't have this in mind when he started the thread

I am so glad I went out, Just back, hot, tired, thirsty, and thought I would sit down to a nice peaceful look at GN. It is still going!

But the McVities Coconut Rings are very nice (50p from the pound shop

Gracesgran It also seemed to me that JA was using this to attack an entirely different group of people, "those who are offended and are easily 'hurt'" because of personal remarks.

I wasn't attacking anyone.
The fact that you think I was, says a lot more about you than about me.

It's because it was a foreign one...

Blimey !! I didn't realise that a slug could cause so much upset !!

Sorry * Obieone*! blush]

I would! (have defended my viewpoint, if it had been me. And it bloody wasn't!)

Oh God I didn't refresh. Sorry. A bit late.

I was a bit puzzled there for a moment ana ! We're all allowed a senior moment or two.
But seriously I'm amazed this thread is still going. Let's all get a life.
Yes kitty really odd. Anyone with guts would have defended their viewpoint. Just wondering though whether I would, following such a backlash. Maybe I wouldn't. But it wasn't me !!

Obieone indeed you would

No, of course I didn't report it!
If I reported everything with swear words in it anywhere at all, that is all I would be doing with my time!

I don't see it as "nasty" for someone to report to GNHQ something they think is outside the rules or general sense of what GN is about Kittylester. I think it perfectly reasonable that GNHQ make a decision about that and make a suggestion to the OP. I find coming onto the forum and saying you are leaving rather manipulative. I have no idea why whoever reported it did so but it is part of the forum that you have the right to do so and the moderators appear (because the say so) to prefer this way rather than a row on a thread.

I have no idea what other "nastiness" you refer to as it is your view of it not mine. All that is just my opinion. I have no evidence of any of it except that GNHQ prefer things to be reported and have no intention of defending this view - it is mine and no one is expected to agree I really wasn't that interested in the OP but the link did raise my interest.

Yawn!

So are you trying to say that you didn't report the slug thread, obieone, even though its title contained a 'sweear word'?

I must admit boredom does kick in about two thirds of the way down. (of the article)

I suppose my point is that I dont judge people for it. A lot of people do not even realise there is a problem.

Plus, where would that leave GNHQ and everyone else, if people put in complaints all the time. No one would get anything done.

GG, I do know that JA posted a link but that doesn't alter the facts that prompted the OP to start this thread or various others to open other threads to try to get away from nastiness - or to find likeminded people.

Jenty, try to play nicely! Surely, that is the point of this thread!

I got as far as 'it's not enough to have opinions, you need to have arguments to back them up'. Then - totally lost.

jenty!!! What on earth is that in aid of? Has someone taped you to your computer and taken away the off switch?

even not ever

I am not sure if I am going to contribute anything to all of this or not.

But I get offended by swearing. And you can imagine how often I see and read it every day, everywhere!
But there is no recourse, and I have to put up with it.

Not ever sure what my point is really.
