Ive posted on coupon thread not to bring it here but to start a "bicker" thread instead.

I like that idea,might release a few tensions if peeps could have a good old debate.

I do think it's better to get things out in the open air and have a good debate but that's not allowed, I'm the one that started the problems on the coupon thread so I'm off to post something that hopefully will end it. It is frustrating not to be able to have a discussion. If you can't say what you're not happy with nothing can change but hey ho, so be it.

I am selling my junk, which hopefully someone else will think of as treasure.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I can live in hope.

This is what I've posted on the coupon thread, Hope I've got the right tone for any moans to go away (mine included)

Not quite sure where to start on this post, but as it's me that started the latest problems on the thread I felt I should post something.

I complained about the way that a post of mine was replied to by MT as I was somewhat disgruntled. As others have said sometimes MT's posts don't come across very well. However when you read something you don't always read it how it's been said, I'm sure MT doesn't intend her posts to come across as brusque or rude and is probably disappointed that they're sometimes read that way. BT's can sound very harsh too and I know not all BT's posts are like that, they often sound like 'don't like what you say, go somewhere else'. The same communication problems happen in the spoken word, what's said isn't always what's heard.

MT does a great job keeping the 1st posts updated and has added the shopping list since taking over as 1st post updater (not really sure what the name for that person should be). I do miss the friendly chatty banter that was here, it was one of the things that drew me into the thread a few years ago but I'm aware that has gone now so I go to the drivel thread for the happy banter. Anyone wanting a friendly chat, that's the place to go - some great shopping lists too.

Please could I ask that if anyone wants to comment on my grumbles or anything that anyone else has posted in relation to it they do it by PM as the drivel thread wasn't set up for somewhere to go to for disagreements. MT has often said not to post loads of thank you's for her on the thread so I'm sure if you want to send supportive messages now she'd rather they be done by PM (hope I've got that right MT), equally any other comments you have for me or any other posters. Let's not clog the thread any more than it has been already.

Hope no-one minds me posting this here, I'm very much hoping it end the the latest grumbles.

Hopefully the thread can go back to being about coupons.

Sorry for causing any issues. K

I think that comes across really well K:A.I totally agree with you about MT and BT,in text things often come across differently.
I myself am tempted to post the OU guidelines on nettiquette but am sure that theat too would start a grumble.
