This will please many of you

Still here, Shanma? I thought you were flouncing going.

Me miss wot, I'll do it, I'll do it!!
"I am so sorry that I have clearly been norty and I write rubbish pomes attempt to raise an occasional smile. I apologise humbly that you find my highly intelligent friend Elegran anything but. I crave your indulgence for my friend kittylester who is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet but you have clearly formed your own incredibly unfounded contrary opinion and FFS what are you objecting to in Anya? Profanities ? Really? "

Will that do.
Out of interest, who should be apologising to whom????

I will apologise if I've been an ar.e. we were brought up to do that. ( not to grovel though) I've just had to do bid apologies in another context and the person concerned is not accepting it.

I would reveal all on a pm. If anyone's interested. I could do with some advice myself!

Are you saying my agolopy isn't good enough??
Might have to flounce for a minute or two .



Back now.

Agolopy....ha ha!

Laughing at me too [sniff] emoticon

Getting our knickers in a twist! The chaos that can be caused by one Op

I didn't ask for an apology. Anya I wonder if you are able to explain to me how it is nasty for me to say someone's post is pathetic, but it is fine for you to say to me " Shanma you talk a load of shite?" Your words not mine.

Seems to be so many double standards on here

Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.

I will admit to replying to your offensive post in that manner, mea culpa.

What I don't do is say 'I never said anything nasty' as you do.

I at least am up front and honest. And you might well look at the number of supportive posts from me previous to this. IMO you are happy to dish it out, but then run shouting 'they're all being nasty to me' when someone retaliates in kind.

I am upfront, if I were not I would not have posted this in the first place. I don't see me shouting " They are all being nasty to me" I don't really care what any of you say, but the two faced nature of many of you replying here is astounding.

What I find difficult to understand is the posters on here " having a go at me" who have not read my posts, who have not had anything from me on any of their posts either , and yet they like to stick their oar in.

it is laughable to be honest.

I'm not going to bother replying to you any more. You are clearly incapable of intraspection.

End of. .

There's none so deaf and blind than those who haven't got introspection. No getting through to them.

Well shanma, what they DID read was a blatant attack on some of us by name and the rest by implication and association.
Take a lesson from dogs. If you snarl and bare your teeth, you cannot expect a pat on the head.
If you say you have done with GN for its manifold sins and weaknesses, you cannot expect everybody to say"Gosh, you are right, we are rubbish, sorry. Can we still play?"
What reaction did you honestly expect?
And having bidden us farewell, who was to guess it was merely "au revoir"?

Intraspection wot not introspection!!

Ironic really

Oh, alright then! (What's the difference? People who don't look inside themselves and suspect they might not be right after all?)

I've just seen the original post and think it is awful. How unkind and hurtful to make such comments about people you don't know. Why be so spiteful?

Incapable of looking inside themselves yes wot (so glad you shortened your name!) so never able to see themselves as others see them. Very Rabbie Burns.

Passing out parade at Sandhurst. Proud mother turns to proud father as soldiers march past 'why's everyone out of step with Rupert?'

Yes, I'm glad my name's shorter. It was actually Jings that helped with that!

Another controversial subject

Bless her. I almost expected her to pop up and upraid me for using the term Q.E.D.

I think perhaps the term 'self awareness' is more commonly used. It's one of the signs of high emotional intelligence.

"One of the hallmarks of high emotional intelligence is self-awareness. Self-awareness is a deep understanding of what makes us tick; what angers us, makes us happy, bores and interests us. It’s also means that we can appraise ourselves, faults and all, with great honesty and clarity. So when people with high emotional intelligence make a mistake and get criticized for it, it doesn’t send them into an emotional tailspin. It’s simply a fact to be noted, analyzed and corrected."

I've just eaten loads of cake and shouldn't have. Oh, knickers!
