I feel as though I have stepped into La-La land.......this whole scenario is bonkers :-S


One tall midget reached up high,
Touched the ground above the sky,
Tied his loafers, licked his tongue,
And told about the bee he stung.
He painted, then, an oval square
The colour of the bald man's hair,
And in the painting you could hear
What's undetected by the ear.

I have asked 'Support' to take a look at this thread.

I think it's important to note that some of the posters on the original thread last night will not be around at the moment, the general view on the TOPIC, was (imo) that it was and is an unworkable suggestion. It was unfortunate that NanaSue edited certain posts AFTER people had responded, making their posts and her own read quite differently. Maybe the decision was taken by NanaSue, that she had dug herself into a large hole and it was better to start again??


There is another suggestion on this board about the problems caused by 'post response editing'.... changing the meaning of a post by editing it after it has been replied to is at best confusing and at worst deliberately misleading.

That might be a suggestion GR would like to consider more closely, the thread is http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/suggestions/thread/1325825

Jokes by nature are Funny, Their was nothing funny in the post I Reported

I never reported it to remove the content,

I reported because of the content, but my objection to the content was in relation to the part that NS apparently finds funny and I saw as a personal attack

so hear is the so called joke, So you can decide for yourself

(PP I don't come back to posts because.......and besides I'm not sitting on my bum all day - I do have other things going on in my life)

Could someone tell me where the "off the top of my head joke" is - I can't find it. Without it Nana Sues post is pointless!
thanks

It matters not NS, a personal attack is a personal attack regardless of which PP

Just why you find such things funny I have no idea

NS, Having thought about your post 4 Jun 2013 16:34 and said After your reply I am starting to think this thread should also be brought to the attention of GR on my post 4 Jun 2013 16:54

I have decided to report it because I believe your post is making a personal attack on me and others and as you also say,

"This post doesn't need further clarification from me"

I think the refusal to clarify your suggestion makes the suggestion (what ever it is ) irrelevant and so should be removed from the suggestions board as it's not really a suggestion at all IMHO

NS "I have been asked by GR not to respond to any comment that is a personal attack on my person"

Are you saying that my Posts on this thread are a personal attack on YOU?

"It has been said that many of my posts have made the boards lively and interesting"

As a regular user of the boards I have NEVER seen that said,

"PP I don't come back to posts because.......and besides I'm not sitting on my bum all day - I do have other things going on in my life"

Is that a personal attack on Me?

You had ample time to and did start at least two other threads and reply on several others in the course of today so if you purposely ignored this thread that could be seen as being rude

I have other things going on in my life and don't sit on my bum all day even when posting this I'm actualy standing up

"This post doesn't need further clarification from me - my opinion is not going to change"

If anyone posts a suggestion and others don't understand what is being suggested then clarification is asked for and its good manors to reply, as for your opinion NO ONE is asking for it so your opinion on this matter is irrelevant and i have no idea why you have included that in the reply you have given

After your reply I am starting to think this thread should also be brought to the attention of GR

Looks to me as though you have now killed off the Genes discussion boards.

You are not an innocent party in all of this, whatever you may say.

I have been asked by GR not to respond to any comment that is a personal attack on my person. I have officially reported five people...............That any futher problem posts I should let them know.

It has been said that many of my posts have made the boards lively and interesting which is the objective so more people will join in. Naturally a difference of opinion or discussion one wouldn't object to. Hoever it is so very sad the way they have been turned into something else.

PP I don't come back to posts because.......and besides I'm not sitting on my bum all day - I do have other things going on in my life. Walking stick and pain killers n' all.

This post doesn't need further clarification from me - my opinion is not going to change. This is not the only chat board I belong to, so I know the ropes. Other people may have their own opinion on the subject that's the nature of the game.

:-D :-D
