General Chat

Given that most of the thread expressed best wishes to the funny, witty, intelligent and very likeable Stephen Fry and for his marriage to his friend it is sad that all such have been whooshed.

Guess he will be able to afford his partner;s speeding ticket - 101mph in an Aston Martin.

' It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that." As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well so fucing what. '

Its a challenge, Barbra..........pushing the envelope, stretching the boundaries

being THAT close to an RR and getting away with it!!

there was a joke about bull fighters and a meal in a restaurant

the customer complained that HIS portions were much smaller than the previous days meal and the waiters' answer was......
sorry Senor, sometimes the BULL, He wins......


but it is MOST annoying when, as you say,

you say something in complete innocence,

and some do gooder takes exception to your wording.......and reports it, instead of coming to the poster, and allowing time for a response, then all hell breaks loose....

So elite that nearly all of GR members belong to it!

Just ignore the RR and keep on posting regardless.

Barbra its an elite club to belong to
i know i'm a member

Barbra I am proud to be a member of th RR club :-D <3

Barbra,Barbra..... :-D <3....Now if we all agreed life would be soooooo boring , you came back because you enjoyed the boards and the people on here........

We can all get RRd one time or another and sometimes they are upheld sometimes they are not......

Just smile through it and carry on you dafty :-D ;-) <3 <3 <3

Hello All Thank you for your comments .sharron i sent a message to GR about the topic but no reply .maybe wrong headline by me !!..I am not against any body finding love it doesnt matter to me at all ..any way will just say enjoyed the comments & fair play to all who contributed Bye Barbra :-D :-D

Why would you leave the board just because you were RR'd? It really is no big deal - there's not many people who haven't been RR'd.

They could have asked you to word it a little differently, but i saw no real reason ro RR it in the first place ..it gave rise to a healthy debate.

Have you questioned the RR?

Every one I have had RRed has been re-instated which I believe to be a bit of a victory.

well said Rose - if you leave the Chat room they will have triumphed

Barbra I commented on the thread as you know, but after the OP had gone...thing is if everyone who was ever RRd ( I have been more than several) no longer posted I think the board would have perhaps two people left postingm if that?

so don't be put off, the Report option is there for good reasons, the fact that someone disagreed with what you said or the way you said something shouldn't put you off posting on other topics ( or the same topic but perhaps in different wording?).

The thread has Gone re Stephen Fry .I will Not be joining anymore post on here .just doing family tree
