It seems a lot of effort for me Sylvia :-D

Of course it's a lot of work .....

but it makes a change from posts being RR'd for no reason :-D

Allan Report 15 Jan 2019 20:53

It's a lot easier to just open every thread with the following

……….. or a line of other symbols

You then post again with whatever subject you wish the thread to be about.

That way only individual posts can be reported as there is absolutely nothing offensive or argumentative about the opening post. :-S

OOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR

When you post a thread just accept that people's will post and their opinions may differ from yours. Simples :-D

Allan Report 15 Jan 2019 21:52

That's fine, Madge, if individual posts are reported, but when the opening post is reported oft times the entire thread goes

Barbara you are acting like a child and be very careful whilst throwing the bullying accusation round, just because someone disagrees with you does not make them a bully. We were due an announce and flounce. We all know you will be back after a week.

Another door slamming huff?

If I left every time someone disagreed with me I would be stuck in a revolving door.

Yes many of us on GR are friends in real life and on FB. It’s how we share photos and the good/ sad news in our lives with our nearest and dearest. Nothing wrong with that :-D

'Oh crikey' said John, 'You mustn't say that, Jane, girlies aren't supposed to have an opinion. You must delete that immediately'.

'No', said Jane, b*gger off and play Fortnite - by the way, I'm beating you'.

'But Jane, you really mustn't say that' retorted John.
'Here, let me help you 'feminse' yourself, I'll report the thread for you'.

John pressed the 'Report' button - feeling very proud of himself for 'saving' his sister, then he felt an excruciating pain between his legs, and through his tears saw Jane copying and pasting, from 'word' the thread he had deleted for her, and putting it back again.

'Gosh' he thought - how did she know how to do that?'


Sorry, but with another posting reported,I thought we'd gone back to Janet & John land.

I haven't got an inkling (or an interest) in who's reporting threads, but I feel they should, perhaps, get a life!
It would be more interesting if they replied to the posts that offend them, so we can avoid upsetting them, or suggest they don't look.

I go out for the day, and look what happens!

Not sure who's being accused of bullying and who is not, or who is being accused of being friends with some or all of the people on here or not.

Just to clarify ..................

I have contact on FB with with only 1 person now on GR, and that person very rarely posts these days. I have contact on FB with several people who have been gone from GR for quite a few years.

So, I'm not colluding with anyone ............. and opinions I express on here are mine and mine alone.

I am not wittingly bullying anyone, but do reserve the right to state my own opinions, and to complain if that is forbidden either by word or deed (ie, deleting a thread or RR'ing a post)!!

Without trying to mimic Sylvia....
I went off for literally a couple of hours maybe and what the "place ever so slightly hot" happened???
Knew I shouldn't run a few errands and cook dinner next time the kids starve :-D :-D

May I ask what Madge said that was soooooooooooo awful?? Really Madge I'd sit you on the naughty step but you'll be asleep by now :-P :-D

Maggie funny :-D

I blame Allan...sorry Allan but everyone loves you so no danger of you missing out on anything...and you're a man so obviously it's your fault :-D :-D

I'd disagree with that comment, Caroline, but I'm outnumbered :-0 :-D :-D
