What on earth is going on?

I think so, never mind.

Oh. Probably!

Sorry to be dim. This (your question) is a thread on a forum (chat).

Got it. But surely you got my drift?

Ah ok I think you mean thread?

Now I’m confused.

I thought you started this forum? You were the one to ask the question.

UG, I haven't a clue what you are talking about. How can it be my forum?

Honestly, no idea whats going on here.???

I’m glad I didn’t spoil your forum Lily65

Seems I haven’t contravened a rule then (even one I didn’t know about).

I'm blaming it on the windy weather! .
I do agree with your opening post, though, Lily65.

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be a thread about threads, just a general comment really. Never mind. Its all getting a bit silly.

It is like the way light-hearted threads have to be labelled as such so that all the virtue signallers do not take it over and make it a discussion about poverty (again)

I think the guideline Gonegirl's talking about is "we will delete threads about other ongoing threads, as it causes too much confusion on the forums".

I haven't seen the thread in question - I'm trying to cut down on social media during Lent so miss a lot these days. But I'd agree in general that GN is a bit bad-tempered at the moment. Perhaps it's the weather getting to people or ruddy Brexit.

Maybe my fish fingers will do the trick!

(That was to Annep1)

NO being grumpy!!!

I would agree with you normally I lovecheese but the in fighting when so many people have died needlessly is appalling.
I like a robust forum but even I draw the line here.

Anniebach I'll look out for you. x

I think being anonymous , hidden behind their keyboard lets people be far meaner to each other than if they were face to face.

I'm feeling grumpy today and GN is making me worse.
Can people not be nice to each other.

Ellen happens to me often x

Never mind. I don't know the rules, it just seems to be getting out of hand .

Well clearly someone didn't like/approve of what I posted either. Then again the truth does hurt at times.

Fair point well made rosecarmel
But engaging with people isn’t easy when some are DETERMINED to jump on other’s viewpoints.

I’m just waiting for this forum to be taken down because I inadvertently posted and contravened some rule I didn’t even know existed. Then to compound the transgression I was unaware there was an underlying reason for the forum and naively entered into it.

I don't know that turning away from a problem has ever solved a problem, but engaging in efforts to not make it worse seems to lean towards proceeding gently instead of matching one extreme act with another .. which is what silence and lack of action is .. at the opposite end of the spectrum of a brutal act ..

Pot-kettle-black @Lily65.

Urmstongran I'm so grateful to you x but sadly your reply wasn't what others wanted to see, if you get my drift as the whole opening thread was simply and purely aimed at me.

Righto. Sigh. [shrug]
