Cant take a joke

Smilie discipline :D

 

:D :D :D

 

Harharrr.

I'm all up for smiling!

 

Hello again everybody. I've thought it over and even discussed the situation that existed when I left GC, with Boss lady and we've taken into account the many PMs I have received (actually I received them as emails from the site 'cos I haven't been here) and have decided that I will return on a 'suck it and see' basis.

I want to make it clear that I am not being a prima donna. I enjoy the chat and banter here on all subjects and do not 'sulk' just because someone else and I disagree. I think everyone knows that my SOH is the equal of anybody else's and I can even take a joke against myself, like the time I misread an article on the difference in diet of frogs and toads or the time I said something slightly 'naughty' was pornographic and forgot to add a smily (Boy did the spit hit the fan on that one. I wonder who didn't realise that was a joke?). But I can't stomach personal, vindictive remarks about anybody, or just as bad, opinions presented as facts.

I think the mods do a brilliant job. I have been on forums with either heavy modding or no modding. Neither works. Self-modding seems to be rgw best solution, and I don't see why I should give up the virtual company of the many friends I have made pn GC. So, as suggested in a few of my PMs, in future I shall just ignore a very small number of people and hope that works.

Does anyone remember Monty Python's 'Is this where I come for an argument' sketch? :D

you are right that people put something in shame they have to swear at the same time

The phrase pot calling the kettle black comes to mind.

 

Leave it !

 

Well said BM!


Can we all agree to differ and move on?

And shall we close this thread?

 

Hi there John.. and the Boss!..So glad you listened to your Lady.

 

Actually shiney....it was either 5 minutes or the full half hour :D

 

Or on GC the full 2 weeks. :D

 

Scarborough eh ? now I know where the sense of humour comes from :D

 

Yes Freddy. You either have to have a sense of humour to live here or masochistic tendencies. Or both.
