My Grandson took an Amazon gift card in for his teacher today. Anybody giving a gift to a teacher in my day would have been beaten to a pulp in the play ground. Apparently it is a thing now and parents are using it as a rule for who gives the best gift. Craziness. I bet there are teachers on here who will shout me down, but this really shouldn't be a thing that is expected and parents are left to feel guilty if they don't give a gift. |  | | |  |

You might have issues with the OP, but leave his Grandson out of it. You're making yourself look petty. |
Clearly a joke, wasn’t it? A child would likely not have the political understanding to make such a choice.
What “issue” is this with the OP? I’ve only ever engaged with him once.
Still amazes me people get so bothered by this but some posters can literally be sexist or borderline racist and others will defend them.

I'm not sure that calling someone's grandchild names bears much relevance to anything you've said there, regardless of context. |  |

Traditionally, jokes tend to be funny as well. |  |

Well there’s the problem, you’ve removed so much context so you could get offended.
You been taking high horse lessons from Glassers?! | |

When the TWTD bar reopens you might want to ask the bar keep if they stick this for you.

Not being funny Callis, but it wasn't funny and was pretty nasty. And I'm definitely not on a high horse. In fact I've never even ridden a horse.
You may have intended it as a joke, but it missed the mark by a fair distance. |  |

Come on it wasn't a joke was it? It was a dig, over the debate you had the other day over religion.
This also has nothing to do with how other posters are, it's about you acting a little petty. |  | | |

Still see I’m occupying a large amount of time in your mind Callis. That’s the third mention in as many days despite me not engaging with you. |  |

All the stuff that’s been said to me on here over the years in terms of abuse I’m sure he’ll be okay too. | |

Bloody hell, talk about an over reaction to a throwaway joke on a football forum.
You should invest that time fighting actual issues. | |

Who's over reacting? I've just pulled you up on "joking" about someone's Grandson. | | | |

You. To a pretty harmless and obviously silly joke based around the fact a child can’t comprehend those factors.
I’m amazed I’m now 6 posts into discussing it. I have better stuff to do personally. I’d assume you do too. | |

It wasn't a joke and you know it. I'm not the only one who has pulled you up on it either, so goes to show doesn't it?
You're right I have got better stuff to do. Enjoy your day. [Post edited 20 Jul 2020 13:41]

It was a joke though. Said poster is pretty low on my list of things that I care about. And I’m sure he feels the same.
You are jumping to assumptions. | |

If it is any consolation I had it down as a joke. The trouble with posting on a forum is that dry humour can look like it is serious, I get caught out myself like that from time to time. |  |
