I see some pond slime amongst us has had a trigger finger problem again. Since I don't know who did it, I won't be calling anyone names by saying that the word I'm thinking now is "Bastards!"

Has one of your posts been deleted bags? Whatever it was, I missed it as I have not felt offended at any point in the last few days!

thatbags Wed 30-Nov-16 09:40:55

No, it wasn't me who was reported. Sorry to be cryptic.

Luckygirl Wed 30-Nov-16 09:42:13

Oh.

I read the title and was debating with myself whether or not the thread was genuinely about pond slime grin
I don't know who/what the topic is but it's sad that GN is again in conflict.
That's not aimed at you thatbags

I did too Nina and was about to add my tip about bundles of straw in Granny's old tights......wink

confused
Missed whatever.

I think I get what you are saying bags and if I'm right there are some very nasty people about. But then we know that, don't we?

annsixty Wed 30-Nov-16 10:12:21

is it really fair to set the cat amongst the pigeons like that?

Anya Wed 30-Nov-16 10:19:35

Fair cuts both ways Ann

I must have missed something somewhere, trying to stick to reasonably anodyne threads. Sorry, Bags, if some pond-slime has got up your nose. tbhmm

thatbags Wed 30-Nov-16 10:22:41

I'm no mere cat, ann. I have the anger of a mountain lion in my blood right now....

Hmm... actually, I feel quite calm. Just shouting bastards! and using the expression 'pond slime' seems to have helped.

Ana Wed 30-Nov-16 10:22:55

I hope you don't mean what I think you do Bags, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the usual suspects have been busy little busybodies yet again...

annsixty Wed 30-Nov-16 10:23:12

Well I also missed anything really bad, but like anno try to stick to uncontroversial threads.

thatbags Wed 30-Nov-16 10:24:53

It was an uncontroversial thread. It's still there.

annsixty Wed 30-Nov-16 10:25:59

Anya I meant by being so cryptic and leaving us all speculating.

trisher Wed 30-Nov-16 10:34:44

Well it made me look- Pond slime I mean, but I'm no wiser so I can't comment, apart from offering you sympathy bags, but I'm not sure that will really help, and patting a mountain lion is never advisable.grin

Anya Wed 30-Nov-16 10:36:22

Sneaky, underhand, vicious, anonymous little bastards!

The KKK of GN?

annsixty Wed 30-Nov-16 10:43:43

This is my last post on this but I assumed trigger finger meant reporting and posts being deleted but I can't say I have noticed any.

Linsco56 Wed 30-Nov-16 10:47:13

I haven't seen any deleted posts either annsixty

thatbags Wed 30-Nov-16 10:48:01

It did mean reporting but it didn't mean posts being deleted. The pond slimes (actually, that's an insult to creatures that live in pond slime) know who they are. They must be sad dudes, poor things.

merlotgran Wed 30-Nov-16 10:48:14

And I think we all know who they are and where they hang out. angry

Luckygirl Wed 30-Nov-16 10:49:34

I can cope with feisty posts/threads, but not ones like these that are simply aimed at the few and inevitably destined to confuse everyone else. Back to "How many TVs"!! grin

Anya Wed 30-Nov-16 10:52:59

Indeed Merlot

trisher Wed 30-Nov-16 10:54:08

I now know more. Thanks. It reminds me of when I was teaching and some little sneaks who loved getting others into trouble, any teacher with any sense ignored them and pretended they hadn't heard.
