A polite reminder to grapes old and new

[veggiechicken]

No, I didn't know that NG but we used to have a sofa called Humpfree as it had 3 humps on the back.

[Florence Fennel]

I remember a banning a few years ago - it was quick and just. Didn't know there was recent trouble at'mill

[Miss Mousetrousers]

Neither did I.

VC are you becoming camel obsessed? Nope it wasn’t you but a member who longer posts and decided that my bucket list was not right for them. I think I was going through a sensitive phase at the time so the corrections offered did not warrant my ‘pith’.

I’m back to rhino hide now.....

Found it ^^^ Don't think there was any malice intended, Lumpy Two humpy.
Glad your rhino/effelump hide is back in place now

I quite like the idea of an elephant ride. They seem so much more gracious than a hissing, spitting camel. What you reckon Lumpy, any chance?

Glad you have ya rhino hide back. It is hard to know sometimes how we are perceived, I do worry at times that I have said or done summin, then I take a deep breathe, then get whined at by small children so moment passes quite quickly . What were we talking about?

Underpants NG underpants

It had to come back VC as the abuse from the mirror while I do my daily hairbrush is very harsh......

For those curious the now banned grape objected (quite rightly) to being told effectively to shut up and go away for having simply asked a quite reasonable and thread related question. However developments beyond that in terms of message exchange I guess deteriorated. I do know fair warning was given regarding expected conduct on the forum, so this outcome can only be the right one.

I think it's worth reiterating there's no such thing as a stupid question. Everyone starts from zero. Every question, concept, and insight all goes in the pot of shared knowledge and ideas at the end of the day

[veggiechicken]

I'd like to add to Philthy's comments that several offensive posts have been deleted by the Mods. What you see now is a pale shadow of what was said at the time.
Insulting comments have no place here and never will.

It was one of the rare times when I wished I had my Pointy Stick to hand.

[Potstubsdustbins]

I'm just glad it weren't me and you had your .....................pointy stick.......

[Lumpy]

The way I see it is this -

I’m very glad we have Mods who, without pay keep an eye on this amazing forum. I would imagine that the most unsavoury aspect of their essential job is to reprimand or worst still ban a Grape. The decision would not be made lightly.
We will always have people who do not understand the concept of patience, acceptance, encouragement or respect join us. It is those that could, if left to their own frustrations and issues destroy the rest of this community

I won’t be commenting again as there are far more important things to contribute to or learn from.

Ta Mods - you all ROCK!

As someone who doesn't understand the concept of patience, acceptance, encouragement or respect - what's happened ?
