My original post was hijacked.

I have been inundated with crude and hateful posts and private messages.

New Zealanders are my neighbours and special friends. I am proud of that.

My ancestors were Brits and I'm proud of that.

If you wish that I disappear and stop posting, what I thought were interesting and innocuous articles, then so be it.

I sign my real name with pride and do not hide behind a nomme de plume.

Gordon, I think this is blown up out of proportion. No one is making fun at another group, especially the lovely people of New Zealand. We do not want anyone to leave us at FG.

That includes you, my dear.

I agree please do not leave. Sorry you got a mad flood of nastyness I hope you can still see the good posting and fun of FG and will stay with us.

gordonartist wrote: I have been inundated with crude and hateful posts and private messages.That's unfortunate and unfair, if true. The public posts I've seen are not hateful at all, and crude would be an extreme description.



gordonartist wrote: New Zealanders are my neighbours and special friends. I am proud of that.Good!



gordonartist wrote: My ancestors were Brits and I'm proud of that.As well you should be.



gordonartist wrote: If you wish that I disappear and stop posting, what I thought were interesting and innocuous articles, then so be it.Not at all. What I wish that you do is issue as public an apology as was your false accusations here, here, and here.

GordonI sign Accountable because that's who I am. Are you?

oh dear oh dear oh dear. I read your original post with interest, Gordon, and I could see exactly what you were getting at. Read the rest too, (until I keeled over with boredom) and expect I'm thick, but I couldn't see what all the fuss was about, and why such unpleasantness ensued.

I've seen this on other forums and it always surprises me why people can get so het up about the opinions of people they've never met, nor are likely to.

I enjoy your posts, Gordon.

Ditto what the bunnygirl said.



I don't hide behind anything, either.



Valerie Bryce

I enjoy your posts, also..especially the many pictures you share. I think the other issue just needs to be let go, so that it will fade off into oblivion.

But what will we do without Ah Foo?

Dammit.:-3

guys. guys.....I'm a bit inebriated and I'm not capable of going through all the posts at the moment....please, please, agree to differ or what ever....but don't anyone leave...Gordon I need your humour every day...it lightens my crappy life...

I have been inundated with crude and hateful posts and private messages. Wasn't me and they should be ashamed. People who have something to say should say it honestly in public.



New Zealanders are my neighbours and special friends. I am proud of that. O.K.....



My ancestors were Brits and I'm proud of that. O.K....



If you wish that I disappear and stop posting, what I thought were interesting and innocuous articles, then so be it. No, no, no...don't be daft



I sign my real name with pride and do not hide behind a nomme de plume. Me too...Bez..short for Beryl..

I have went over all the threads related to the subject, and can find no reason for such discrepancy.

I interpreted Nomads response to be nothing less than insinuation regarding his own feelings toward war, rather than implying this was the practice of the people you are trying to defend. Its just simply misinterpreted, and quite frankly, I think your demand for an apology is a little over exuberant.

Gordon... Dont go.. Let it go...:-1

OK, I could just about puke.



Hey Gordon...is this your last reply about your beloved, put-upon New Zealand, or your last reply in FG altogether? Because if it's your last reply in FG altogether I have one thing to say about that:



DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE ASS ON THE WAY OUT!!!!!
