I am putting this on a seperate thread...

Don't you dare go all sugary and sweet on us jingl [pass the bucket emoticon]

My definition of rude must be very different from GJ's - there's pleny of rude bits in Shakespeare and it's all the better for a bit of earthiness IM(not very humble)O

As for your question as to whether posters think GNHQ deals with reported posts 'adequately' soontobe, I wonder what you mean?

If the post is deemed to break forum rules it will be deleted.

Do you think the poster should be sternly reprimanded and told not to do it again? Or banned from te site?

granjura - if it has flowed off you like water off a duck's back then don't shake your feathers, it just spreads the water around. Let those who think that it was meant for them do the commenting. There is no need for you to feel their pain, any more than soontobe.

And soontobe - If those whose pain you think you feel are apparently OK with what has been posted - let it lie. Report your own pain, not other people's. If you cry wolf too often, your reports are more likely to look as though you are being over-sensitive, and treated accordingly.

granjura, jingl was daring me in a nice way.

If some people cannot see others' pain, that is very disconcerting.

Petallus...... You should be safe from us down a coal mine.

I never post when I am on me 'olidays , don't go near a computer then, and never miss it either, but once home we both dash off to use the computer or iPad.

(to soontobe of course)

How do you know? You could be projecting your own feelings onto someone else.

Yes I agree soon, and I don't take it personally, I take it with a huge pinch of salt. So who was it? But the answer is irrelevant, it is just rude and nasty for the sake of being so- and what on earth is the point of that? What was the expected outcome?

Water over a duck's back as far as I am concerned- but really? Again, what on earth is the point? But if it makes you feel better jingl- go for it. Deep breath, count to 10 ....

what a beautiful day <3

Ana. I will just repeat that I havent reported a possible personal attack since April.

No, I am not imagining peoples' pain.

I dont think that she was being mean to me granjura. I didnt take it like that.

jingl just see if you can go one week without being rude and make personal indirect attacks of any kind.

That will indeed be very good.

What on earth did you think would be the outcome of posting such a nasty and rude comment?!?

soontobe I'm not surer what you mean by 'seeing others' pain' - not in the context of the threads etc. that you keep reporting.

Are you sure you're not imagining pain where it doesn't exist?

jbf and anya I am well aware that I am sitting in lovely South Wales posting on GN. I feel quite guilty. I should have left my iPad at home!

Why did GN have to get particularly interesting just when I am on holiday?

Anyway, off out to Blaenavon now. I might be going down a coal mine.

It's a bit rainy here today.

ok!

soon, just see if you can go one week without reporting anything.

I will try to be very good.

I do have a question though [a final one I hope].
When posters have reported attacks on themselves, [assuming they did report] to gransnet HQ in the past, do they feel that the reports were adequately dealt with? Some posters seem to have issues from way back, against other posters.
Nothing to do with me I suppose. I dont like seeing others' pain is part of it I suppose. I have learnt something about myself.

jingl. I think you are right.
On the whole, I need to let everyone take care of themselves.

Paranoid wreck

Yes jingl but will p post on it all day and every day while on holiday?

Unlikely!

you might even get away with her not noticing

Brendaw, this site should come with a health warning. "Enter here and you may leave a paranoid wreck".

soon let everyone take care of themselves.

Trouble is, we can take it with us these days! [ shock] Look at petallus. She's on 'er 'olidays and she's still posting!

(ducks, before p sees that)

S2B who was that query directed to?
