Gransnet today....Just my opinion.

I am surprised you have time to communicate, but carry on

Thanks !

Enjoy your night Bella .

My DH is feisty (or so I've just learnt) ?

As you know DB, many have been. You have been in the past, but that does not mean it is right.

We are not all grey haired old women who humph our tits up in disapproval like Les Dawson depicted.

I am not aware of GNHQ bothering to edit posts and frankly don't believe they do.
The phrase you quote is not unheard of among expat Scots and to start flinging accusations of racism about is bollocks out of order.
How many "feisty members exactly, have been shut down?
Aye, right.

youarerightornot so true my Scottish pals say. "Aye, too fucking right"

! The buggers!

Having just read all this,and the defefence from GNET, all I can say is well done OP. So many feisty members have been shut down. So many posts have been edited, such as "aye right" becoming.. "as they say in Scotland, aye right". Nobody from Scotland would ever say that, but Gransnet staff did. Racist website!

Who knows what tomorrow may bring.

Merlot your thread has descended into farty feisty dogs.....

Actually, I've got two but thankfully one is less farty than the other.

Let's be glad this is online

I've got one of those

Farty then? A small and aggressive farty dog?

farty gransnetters... c'mon own up you trumpers

Feisty is apparently derived from an old US dialect (old US?) word 'fist' meaning a small aggressive dog, which itself comes from Middle English fisten: to break wind.

Perhaps we'll just have to wait for some wittier and more feisty new members then to restore the balance. And a good sense of humour would help...

Yupp.

glassortwo - the new members ARE Gransnet as much as the more longstanding ones. With every new member the forum changes its nature a bit - that's fine. Looking back is pointless - as with life, things move on.

I've decided that I am a highly adaptable person. Shapeshifter, that's me.

Why on earth be so bl**dy rude shanma?
I cannot imagine what you have got against kittylester but it seems you are including janea in your broadside, better include me as well if being obnoxious having a
go at people is what floats your boat.

Janeainsworth, Have a go at Kittylester?? Sorry who IS that?, ah yes must be that irritating person that I have used my personal ignore button on ( As GNHQ refuse to give us one).

Yes, I do feel like we're going round in circles, glass

Without witty and feisty posters Gransnet will soon become Grannynet where they all died of boredom.

Thank you merlot for that OP well said.

This had done a full circle and is back to where we were a few weeks ago and all that was said on that post about Jingles banning and how GNHQ look upon the members here as delicate beige wearing folk that need protected.

I very rarely venture over here these days, I can stay at home to be bored...
I know all the new posters are going to bristle over this but what has happened to Gn over the last few years did it have anything to do with the loss of greatnan that the stuffing had been knocked out of us all?
Is it down to losing posters like Jingle and others who were passionate about the threads they posted on, yes Jingles ruffled a few feathers but there are also the posters who stir just as much but slide under the HQ radar!
At the end of the day its down to us all to make GN as strong a community as MN but the members who are over quick with that report button need to look at the damage they are doing.
