to regret giving my dd a gay packed lunch?

[pointydog]

Dd1 (12) was off on a fun school trip today with a mix of kids from high school.

I suggested a few things for her packed lunch this morning and she went off happily with a peanut butter sandwich, a fruitus bar, a kitkat, some dried apricots, a tub of home-made muesli and a bag of chipsticks.

The tuff kids laughed at her lunch - snorting particularly loudly at the apricots - and called it gay.

I feel like the mum in About A Boy.

yeh and the majority of those posts were to disagree with me LOL and you have the absolute right to disagree with me.....it doesnt make you right or wrong and it doesnt make me right or wrong, everyones entitled to different opinions but you dont need to start bullying name calling just because you dont agree, likewise you cant speak up for everyone else on here, theres actually only you thats replied in a nasty way....whilst others have questionned my view they havent been nasty about it.

I've said what I've got to say on the matter....bullying and banter are completely different, so I'll leave you to pick a pathetic argument with the next person who god forbid has a different opinion to you!

I think you've called me rather a lot of names, though.

And I think you are kidding yourself if you really think you are capable of resp[onding to disagreement without being hysterical and rude. I haven't seen you do that yet.

the names I called you personally are....?

bully, hypocrite, stupid, pathetic, no sense of humour

don't get me wrong, I couldn't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock what you think of me (using the word "think" in the broadest possible sense) but you aren't showing yourself in a very good light here

round of applause for you greensleeves. whatever your point might have been kazzi79 you have lost it.

actually that wasnt aimed at just you but at a few of you who started ganging up because u can't accept something different, apart from the hypocrisy coz you spout one thing then go and do the very thing you just condemned, likewise I'm not really bothered what anyone thinks of me.....I'm proud to have a mind of my own and not jump on bandwagons just to be part of the majority
Nice speaking to ya now goodbye

LOL dont think so Fishy.....read the whole thread....see the names she called me then please post again

Kazzi - you seem to be accusing everyone of the same thing on threads tonight.

Nope just this and the other one Hercules.....where people have got on their high horses for no reason I'm afraid

Check out the relationship/domestic violence pages etc and you'll see that I give respect to people who deserve it xx

kazzi i haven't seen the other thread but i do think you are being unneccesarily agressive.

maybe your point is wrong, maybe it is right. but i don't care what it is because you are ranting about being hard done by.

I'm not ranting at all???? Why am I hard done by? Just stated my opinion and people got on their high horses and lynch mobbed me just for thinking differently. Theres certainly no aggression unless people are reading it the wrong way, but that aint my fault if they do so.

Its worth saying that earlier on this thread other people put across different views and challenged mine but they did it without the belittling and nastiness, someone asked me a question, I answered it, they didnt agree and all hell broke loose (on their part not mine but I'm not gonna lie down and take ppl talking crap to me eg telling me my opinion is wrong) opinions are neither right or wrong thats why theyre called opinions not facts.

Anyway I'm really bored of this thread now, as I said I gave my view if people cant accept that people actually think differently and theres nothing wrong with this then that aint my problem.

Back to the OP......of it was meant as a bullying statement then I hope it gets sorted xx

to be fair I did call her an ignorant bigot, which I apologise for

I was angry about being called a bully, because I don't think I am a bully

forceful and sometimes abrasive, but not a bully

I also think Kazzi thinks I followed her onto the weaning thread to be nasty, which I didn't - I always click on those threads because my ds2 was ^failure to thrive" and it was bloody terrifying, and I don't think early weaning is a safe solution to low weight gain

but hey ho, MN is so big now it's impossible to avoid making enemies

and I have no intention of avoiding certain posters because I know they dislike me, or toning down my opinions

I don't think Kazzi should do so either

LOL nah I respect your view and I respect you stand up for what you believe in.....even if I dont necessarily share the same views

I dont make enemies lifes too short, and nah I dont think you followed me onto the weaning topic although I do think your posts directed at me on there were very childish and nothing at all to do with the topic.

I personally believe bullying and banter is different.....and I hate the thought that we would have to live in a world free of banter because we have to walk on egg shells around sensitive people, that was my view now im outta here before I get set upon again

I can accept that you felt my posts were childish

I felt yours were egocentric and overly defensive

so I suppose we are quits

LOL fair enough hand shakes I am a very defensive person, I have my reasons for this and wont ever change quits

A teacher I once knew taught a kid who called everything gay. A group of teachers who taught him amd were getting annoyed by it decided to take action so we they graffittied the desk he sat at in about 5 class classrooms with XXXXX is gay. When he complained he was told that he talking about it so much people has obviously drawn their own conclusions! It stopped very quckly

Professional - no. Effective and quite amusing - yes.
