Rules for GN cafe

Sometimes all kitchens need a good clear out and clean up.

I don't mind anyone 'turning' Elegran and posting a spirited defence is always welcome. It's the sneaking away and posting insults without actually naming someone and then pretending you aren't being bitchy I object to.

Because looking at Soops kitchen- which I don't post on- it only took me three pages to find the comment you made, which was replied to by the nice people in very derogatory terms and which was obviously about another thread and poster. But never mind you are all such nice people and sometimes (horrors) I swear.

exactly Alima just checking !

Oops Trisher
FFS"Nope. Why?"

'Cos they're all on 'ere?

Nppe.
Why?

Is this a slow day in the world of politics?

Is that an apology MawBroon? Oh I forgot 'nice' people don't need to apologise.

Why is anyone surprised that such nice people can defend themselves? Even a worm can turn. Beware the anger of a patient man (or woman)

"Welcome on board .... even if I say so myself, our company in the kitchen is well worth having. We leave that lot to hiss, spit and be really nasty to each other. I no longer waste my time reading what they write."

And this one, spoken in a pleasant manner, as usual, trisher.

Seriously considering becoming a "lurker"

Sweetness and light as ever

Oh and you don't need to name a poster for everyone to be aware of who you mean.

OK so your definition of moaning must differ from mine
"Hunkering down as somebody has been extremely aggressive, foul mouthed, rude and has given me a total stillalive and kicking. "
Isn't that moaning?
And lots of 'Aww' posts following but NOBODY saying don't post about other threads.
In fact some pretty nasty comments considering you all profess to be so nice. I

Meant to say, exactly Maw!

T.risher no one moans about how awful other threads/posters are except in a general way, as in perhaps ' blimey I was lucky to get back here alive!'

Nothing wrong with stating one's beliefs with passion, it is the derision that ensues or the unfounded accusations against other posters if they do not agree 100% with those beliefs and perhaps take a more mainstream, pragmatic approach.
They are considered beyond the pale, lacking compassion, stupid (and patronising) etc etc. (*jalima*).

Yup.

You missed out "Moan about how awful other threads/posters are."

What do you mean that's your chair???

as I said to someone at the Art Group once - 'oh, that's my chair' having sat in the same place for about 3 years. She said 'This isn't the Old Folks' Home!'

Excellent post Elegran , some people could start a riot in a convent !

As ever Elegran says it all.

Oh come on why is it argumentative and losing one's temper to get into a political discussion and state one's beliefs with passion?

Another good post Elegran!
