I hope you're still being excellent to each other

[AB Editor]

Morning All,

There has been some minor social scuffles recently, and I'd like to remind you of one of Confucius' most famous sayings:

Be Excellent To Each Other

[Bobbisox]

please I would rather this wasn't jumped on as all it is doing , is drawing attention to my stupid error of judgement in my wording of a thread, with any luck the ED will remove it ,
what will happen now, people will get involved and make a huge deal out of it
so please????

[Bobbisox]

hya DEN, exactly!

[DTCwordfan]

My observations were on this thread and all threads at large, rather than specifically yours bobbi, and it concerned general behaviour and some of the bust-ups over the weekend.

There is no consistency here at the moment in the way personal attacks/insults - or indeed "controversial" threads are handled...........

[Mamyalynne]

I second that, let us leave it alone now.

[Bobbisox]

thank you mamy and DT, yes, lets!

I have spent the afternoon visting my Mum in the Care Home. She doesn't recognise me and just falls asleep. So I talk to the other residents - there is Doris, who has been telling me how she has been horse riding this morning, Ruth who is shouting at James because she claims she is pregnant and he is the father. Daisy who thinks she is the Queen. Peter who wants to take me out on a date..............and the other poor sods, who are screaming or crying because they are so confused.

Get a fluffing grip people - the post in question was not mean't to offend any of you poor soles who are so sensitive you can't see it. If it does offend, then dont, read it........I think some people just want to complain for the sake of complaining.

Rant Over.......!

Bobbi - it just popped up in Latest Posts, looks like it's gone now.

[B00]

I've said as much on Bobbs thread Den.

Folk are being wayyyyyy to sensitive over a very innocent thread. Perhaps if anyone else had made the post no one would say owt, but as its Bobbs, she's fair game? Pathetic.

[boxtops]

soz, I was wrong, still there.

[ummmm]

BOO - It was mamy who said it...I don't think she'd have an ulterior motive other not upsetting some people who are having a hard time at the moment.

Bobbi said she had the post removed...I was just pointing out that it was still there. If Bobbi wants to see that as something it's not then she is welcome to...

[B00]

We all have bad times ummmm, for very different reasons and ranging from many different topics. Do we now have to run our post titles through folk to check they don't unwittingly offend anyone?

[ummmm]

Nope...

[B00]

Then Bobbs shouldn't have to feel her post should have to be removed because she accidently offended someone.

[ummmm]

I didn't suggest for a second that she should ask for it to be removed BOO. That was her decision.

Bobbi - pack it in. I will say this again to you....do not try and dictate where I post.

[DEN53]

Leave it now people - otherwise this will escalate into a slaning match. We have all had our say. I don't think for one minute that any Aber on this site would upset or offend others knowingly.

[Bobbisox]

dictate I am not ,

telling you to butt out I am!

THE END

[boxtops]

It's an unfortunate turn of phrase in the current climate, that's all - both for our three fellow ABers and those poor folk in Japan. Best though to leave it.... nearly at 100 now.

[ummmm]

pmsl....Your nice side is coming out again Bobbi. watch it...

[joeluke]

Time to put those handbags away now ladies
