Apologies

I agree with Gonegirl.
Some of us could have had similar experiences which we don't want to recall but the OP was brave enough to do so.
Maybe her language was too graphic and she apologised. Good for her.
But we've got to remember that Gransnet has quite a high profile re the media, so we have to be careful what we put in print on here.

Couldn't you tell?

You didn't tell me you had a new bf Gonegirl

Ah! Right! That's it. I remember now.

GG the OP of the thread complaining about crude language says she asked for Hillwalker's comment on another thread to be deleted and was told it was OK- so yer half dreamed it!

I can't find now either. But I'm sure she did. I suppose I might have dreamed it.

My comments were not aimed at you C. They were aimed at the love of my life sw.

Gonegirl I never said that I thought it should be deleted, only that the OP seems to be reconsidering by apologisingor think she gave tmi.

It has not given me 'the vapours' but apparently it did upset someone to the extent that another thread was started about it for whatever reason.

Yes, I missed the post where HQ said it was OK.

Yes.

No GGI thought you might need an empty one to start another argument in.
Has the OP said that HQ refused to delete it when she asked?

Are you suggesting I am having a panic attack? It's you lot that are doing all the swooning.

Paper bag?

HQ said it was ok. Does no one actually read posts?

Do you need a paper bag Gone ?

Sorry. I should have said, calm the ruffled feathers.

YesCall that’s why I was asking ( to see if she’d followed your advice) The post in question is still up and I’m sure HQ would delete if asked because it’s actually heartbreakingly personal isn’t it? It made me very sad.

Why the hell should it be deleted! Grow up the lot of you.

It's not at all odd to start a thread to apologise.

Why can't the (unnecessary in my opinion) apology now be accepted and the matter closed?

I did suggest the OP could do that suziewoozie as it seemed inappropriate in the context of the other thread, but I'm not sure if she did.

Peonyrose, I did not see any "foul mouthed" post. I was replying to Hillwalker the OP here on this thread.

I do think it was extremely odd to start a thread to apologise. Did you ask HQ to delete it OP?

If a man used such graphic, base language and spoke of women in such a derogatory way he would be given hell. Quite rightly so.

Alexa. A coarse, found mouthed rant is not a sign of intelligence, the reverse I think. An apology on the actual forum that was hijacked would be more appropriate. Once such language is used you don't change that vision of the person using it.

Izabella your post demonstrates that those with academic achievements can still work alongside and learn from others from all walks of life with true humility in doing so. Attributes surely we can all appreciate. Thank you for expressing this so succinctly.

Can we also have a breakaway group for us thickos, things we can understand please
