Badger Oct 2021 9:28am, 28 Oct 2021 14,293 posts	Quote Pin Badger I think the coronavirus support (not discussion) thread is supposed to stay non-judgemental, but I don't follow it enough to be sure that it's always working that way.
Meeps Oct 2021 9:31am, 28 Oct 2021 9,595 posts	Quote Pin Meeps ER, there are now 2 coronavirus threads now similar to the parkrun threads, one more for support.

GimmeMedals Oct 2021 9:39am, 28 Oct 2021 21,521 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals I have my favourite threads, where I understand what is going on and have got to "know" the Fetchies who frequent them; I contribute on those. I lurk on a few other threads but don't contribute because either I don't fully understand things (eg. Chess) or I don't want to get into a discussion to justify my view if I don't agree with a post (eg. Politics), but I'm interested in what others have to say. When they get heated or too complex I depart for a while. Fetch is somewhere I come to unwind, not get agitated and confused - I have real life for those I suspect most active Fetchies are similar.

Lip Gloss Oct 2021 9:58am, 28 Oct 2021 55,797 posts	Quote Pin Lip Gloss I get that we don’t have to agree but I was on thread which is mainly male oriented and one or two of them got a bit personal. Hey I can give as good as I get but there is no need for nastiness especially to someone you don’t really know.
jelly (limegreenjelly) Oct 2021 10:04am, 28 Oct 2021 1,629 posts	Quote Pin jelly (limegreenjelly) I get where you are coming from LG and agree 100%, I am ultra sensitive because of the autism but also I am aware that I can easily say the wrong thing without realising, I absolutely would hate to upset or offend anyone, especially here!
