	If someone reports Mr.Magoo's jokes (which we enjoy) WHY would she go into a thread of his again? I do not need nannying at my time of life - laughter is the best mediciene - there used to be plenty of it years ago. We need all we can get.

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	This is just plain daft! Mr M gets a warning.... you'll be banned for 7 days, because he tells jokes that make MOST of us laugh. The RR'r, who had decided he/she is our censor .... carries on. OY!! I'm an adult!! I don't need somebody deciding what I can and can't read! What about the posters who have (at times) been downright nasty to others? Do they get a warning?? :-P

	MR_M IF you say you find a post offensive or personally offensive ......... then GR seem to remove it, without any further discussion. One must not offend the customers, or allow the customers to be offended :-D

	ah ................... dear old Sally from FB she blocked me, and a couple of others, from reading any of her posts, then made nasty comments about us It was rather funny how nice she was with you, Hayley, and so nasty with the rest of us!

	MR_MAGOO - I am deeply offended that some of your jokes are reported before I get the chance to read them. I think the person that reports your jokes does so not because they are offended, but because, for some reason, they have a grudge against you, I say that because they seem to single you out. Please feel free to include me on any PM you send

	Sylvia its not like me not to pick up on undertones or a row or even sense that are people that dont get on but back in them early days on FB I didnt, even if I got whiff of it I would have to ask what and why and then join in and most of you would know that from the past :-D but I didnt feel it at all no wonder most of you found it strange. :-D

	LOL Hayley...............I remember talking away to a very friendly person who had a "twin sister" in my early days on here she had an obsession with nuts for some reason or other. I couldn't understand why others were mean to her...........I soon found out for myself though :-D ;-) ;-)

	Sylvia @ 05.27 - not so. I reported a post that was personally offensive in that it was directed at me and i found it very inappropriate, I told GR I found it offensive. 'They' informed me that it was 'healthy adult banter' and reinstated the post, giving the unpleasant individual the green light to continue harrassing me. IMO RR's depend on who reviews them not whether the complainant says they are offended.

	Island I had that !!! Great company isnt it Prehaps its time to think of a break of company for those less sensative to the GENES REUNITED situation I do hope the "person" doesnt watch Long Lost Family as they may find many of these offensive! Get a grip the RR er and stop being so childish and accept the Adult banter for what iot is Rich isnt it when a person can complain but cant press the OFF BUTTON!

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 9,629 Send Message	SylviainCanada.......None of the jokes are aimed at anyone. There are more wrong doings on here than my jokes. What I find strange is that GR never removes a post that is offensive on there own back, they will wait until someone RR's it.
