Deletions on Gransnet

Bugger me!!

I think you can say 'oh, bugger' 'that's a bugger' etc, but not call someone a bugger, even if they are behaving badly,*wot*, which is a personal insult.
A fine distinction
Not that I ever swear anyway

lol

Oh Crikey!! B_gger now put the u in. (Or I'll have to put the whole word again and get deleted)

Biggur?

It was deigned a personal insult by GNHQ. I was mortified. The target was a nasty wotsit though.

Put the "u" in! ?

A bigger what? wot

I've been deleted for calling someone a b.gger?

Also banning a person for making a one-off nasty or abusive comment seems a bit harsh. We all 'run off at the mouth' sometimes, don't we? I know I do.

I think it's important to remember that because Gransnet sort of comes into people's homes, anything which is said can assume greater importance than if it was said in the big wide world outside. It's a bit like telly in that respect, I think.

I do think that we need to be careful. We don't know other people's situations and seemingly harmless comments can hurt.

I thought rules were made to be broken? That's what I learnt at school anyway!

Has anyone hear from Jing ?

With jingl gone that report button must be going rusty through lack of use.

The problem with posts is that they are rarely read as they were written or even written as they are meant to be read. Perhaps we don't say what we mean to say or mean what it says although perhaps you thought it did and I didn't! .

The emojis are useful but not comprehensive. The acronyms can be most inventive.

Nuff said?

Also more information at www.gransnet.com/info/about

There is a tab at www.gransnet.com/forums, beside the welcome tab, which leads to "Our philosophy and rules"

Thought I'd have a look but can't find any?! Anyone know where they are please.

I've never read the guidelines either. I'm not good at reading that sort of stuff tooooooo boring.

I miss jings as well Bring back jbf!!!

I have been on GN about 3 years now (only feels like 20 )and realise I have never read the Guidelines !!!

A little later on I shall pour myself a glass of and study this important information.

I must admit I still miss Jinglebells who has been banished from GN. I wonder if they will ever let her back.

Not spotted the others just yet

Only one, Shanma?

I guess that must be me then

Dratted Daughter !

I can spot the Mafioso on here already, but shhh my lips are sealed

Much like the Spanish Inquisition on Monty Python ninathenana they are not expected and their twin weapons are...
