We're not gettin' any younger!

Silly to put that vid up, but I didn’t find it offensive. Just childish in that context.
However someone else might well have found it offensive, and reported it. It wasn’t directed at me after all.

I would expect that the Mod involved would either put the vid back up and/or message RR privately. I don’t know what time scale that would be on. It seems fair to take down a post whilst a decision is taken.
But, given a chance to start a drama…

As you have just pointed out, I actually screenshotted the post and put it on the ‘Feedback Forum’ …for the very reason you say.

(Oh yeah…and for ‘dramatic’ effect.:joy:

The message is that the post is temporarily hidden.

I guess the mods are discussing whether or not it is offensive/inappropriate or not.
Our contributions are not enough to pay for a full time team that give instant responses on a Saturday night ! :wink:

YOU find it offensive Frangers.:joy: it wasnt aimed at YOU !
So as I said you are offended by proxy eh?
‘On behalf of…’.
Got it.

Just to clarify, it was not a direct reference to the guy’s dead uncle…(oops sorry to graphic for you maybe ), I mean his deceased relative, it was a response to his stroppy reply.

Just a reminder…
Quote Robroy.:: ‘‘You illustrate my whole point better than I ever could’’.
Keep digging Frangers.

I sincerely hope your obvious desire to become a moderator in your retirement does not come to fruition.
Last thing we need on here is a lefty liberal snowflake moderating our language and terminology.
Unfortunately for you I think the only way you could become a MOD is if you bought a Lambretta and started wearing a parka.:joy:

Sorry and apologies to you.
I have failed to give you another reason to grab your pearls and shriek with indignation.

Just to follow on from Franglais and his self appointed status to become a spokesman for the Mods…

I agree actually Frangers, Dave and his team have far beter things to do than defend the offended (and the offended by proxy :grinning:) and to ‘scold’ the likes of somebody as gobby as me :smile: on their Saturday night off.

If my post is being looked at as it would look like it actually is, so be it.

So I will await the usual polite and tactful explanation from Dave, when he finds the time and patience to deal with such a …what I see as a triviality blown out of proportion which I felt the need to address, in an effort to point out how this forum has become…and changed.

Oh aye the old obligatory Frangers references to the pearls and skirts.

‘Oh how we laughed’. :roll_eyes:

:joy::joy:

In meantime heres some more ‘random crap’ for you to ponder…hopefully not too offensive.

I don’t know what has gone on In here seems to be some preachers ,jokers and some people who genuinely reminisce on the past that you all had with so many memorable people and times. I only messaged in here as I read a post about a gent who was attending my pars funeral and had written some lovely words. With that I thought I may be able to get some even better memory’s and advice with something I haven’t been able to locate for years .
I’m not sure but I assume the majority of people who are staffs or Cheshire will have a memory of my par and alls I was wanting is to hear from you all . Nice to know and reminisce I’m sure you’ll all agree

Many thanks folks

Tell ya what has ‘gone on’ mate, I have inadvertently and unintenionally hi jacked your thread…which I WILL apologise for.

However, my post was a reaction to your second post, NOT a reaction to the fact you were referring to your deceased relative just to clarify.
If it WAS offensive enough for you to report it, that is for YOUR (not any body elses) interpretation and prerogative, although I am surprised it was deemed so.
So this reply to you is because I felt the need to EXPLAIN it rather than apologise for it.
Cheers.
Hope you get the info you seek.

Edit:
Can I suggest starting a specific thread on same forum, with the name of your relative as the title, which may be seen better by the appropriate members you are trying to attract who maybe knew him, rather than on a thread with a non specific and ambiguous title…just an idea :+1:

I appreciate your explanation pal I arnt no snowflake say what you want I just didn’t want my message to be lost with all the ■■■■■■■■ that had nothing to do with the original post and complete off topic if you get me ?
If a message said he wasn’t a nice bloke and did this and that fair enough but sending song lyrics and stuff that has no resemblance to somebody after some advice from some old school gents I did not expect handbags in a forum

So that’s my explanation and hopefully everybody understands that if you were in the same boat you’d be saying exactly the same as myself

Ok…we’ll agree to differ on SOME of that then eh? …the last paragraph maybe.
I have added an edit to my last post that you may not have seen, which may get you the type of responses that you DO want.
:+1:

Much appreciate the edit on your post to be truthful I had no idea it worked that way

Appreciate your time

Ok mate.
Pleased we could sort it ourselves…despite the interference from others.
Good luck with your info.

Yes, I get all that: I used to ‘park’ posts for consideration when I was a mod. The point I’m making is that it should be made clear that the mod is speaking, not the poster. This is an essential design flaw that needs sorting. Under the old TN you always knew which ‘voice’ was being used.

Anyway, the protagonists appear to sorted their differences so I’m backing off now to let the thread (or its replacement) proceed smoothly and peacefully.

It wasn’t offensive, it was a laugh/a bit of fun.

Ooh look it has been put back on.:roll_eyes:

Frangers and his woke crew 0

Vindicated (and gloating)
Thanks to the mods (and to real people.)

In my list of Shakespeare’s plays no 17 in date order is: :grinning: " Much ado about Nothing".

Care to explain that?

If I must, if you think it’s really necessary, if you want to pursue (yet) another pointless argument.:roll_eyes:

Franglais as in you…obvs.

‘Woke’ as in one of it’s contexts of your perception of some kind of social injustice.

Crew…The ones who.agreed with your pov.

Ie You thinking my comment was unjust to whoever was ‘offended’, and being offended yourself on his behalf.

Keep yer beak out anyway, the situaton and misunderstanding has been resolved.

You really should read posts more clearly.
I said and even repeated for you that I didn’t find the video offensive.
Posts 21 and 25.
I did think it silly, but then again…about normal really.
I wasn’t offended on anyone else’s behalf.
