    @Loki - not quite sure what has got your goat, or why you singled out my post - my post was in response to someone else and a comment they made. Just as I do with many members on here, I have a banter - a joke - a chuckle. Only today I made a comment to one member stating they should have their wings clipped. Clearly that wasn't literal, it was metaphorical. So why take my comment as literal and not metaphorical? :dunno: I've offered cakes and booze to people on here, all metaphorical, not literal! Why should that particular comment cause you upset?
    I can understand how you feel but, to be fair, unless someone is on here day in, day out, 24/7 and without knowing each and every poster intimately (by that I mean very well, I don't mean the other meaning :oops: ) how can jokes/banter not, at some stage, come across as "in" even when they are not!? :dunno:
    Martin posted that he had referred to something, I responded that I would never divulge: it is BANTER!!! That is what friendly people do, they banter! Pull each others leg.

    I can only apologise if my post upset you, but, in truth, I was merely replying to martin's banter and no one else on the forum crossed my mind. Sorry, but they didn't :oops:
    If I had to consider every member of GC before I posted a reply ... I'd never post a reply! Who would have the time? :heehee:

      I have never met anyone there in the flesh. Just decided that I'm comng to visit. But when I get there I shall be striking out on my own or making friends along the way. My Mother was a war bride so maybe that sparked my interest too?

      So... that says something very nice about this group. I mean, a flight and basic accommodations (read hostels) will cost me somewhere in the £1500 range.. to start....:) and I have always really liked the banter, so... I'll put my money where my ....

      While ther, I will probably post on what we did today, "I have bought seeds which I plan to smuggle ...." or "bought these seeds... who is willing to post them to Canada for me?" :)

      I like playing in the dirt and socializing with those of like mind. :) Doesn't matter to me what level of gardening skills a person has because I am always at 101 level :)

      So, everyone, give yourself a pat on the back. :)

        I think the point that Loki and Sheal were raising was the length of the banter, not the subject, "M". I am probably the most guilty in taking threads off topic but I do try to keep it fairly brief while respecting the subject of the Thread and members patience.:dunno::snorky:

          Then I shall curtain my length ;)

          Strange how it is me that is being singled out here! :scratch: Hadn't realised I was the only one bantering tonight! Hey ho! C'est la vie !! :whistle:

          I shall take on board your point(s) Our Mandy - you've made them very clear ( yet again!)

          Adios!

            I appreciate your comments, although none where needed. I completely understand that I'm not a regular poster. I just have an issue with people being rude!:gaah::wallbanging:

              I think you mean "curtail" your length?:scratch: We can all, especially me, get engrossed when going off topic, it just needs a little thought, that's all:dunno::snorky:

                Whether a member is a regular poster or not, Loki, they are all equal in status and value:love30:. Being a regular poster does not make any member's point of view more valid, important, or stronger and any member who uses such a insinuation is wrong.:snorky:

                  That's why I love this place! And I think that's why it's such a special place. :)
