What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander?
Over to you Michael to explain what this means as I do remember hearing it 🙂
(see what I did there - took the Mickie out of another post so I could post my little joke which he's probably heard a million times by now 😆)

I haven't seen much of you lately. Is the new format harder for you to keep up with?

Eh?
The aim is to learn from one another and learn about each other. That's what I thought this forum was for.
I don't mind if my thread is closed but I'm responsible for it not the other party.
Scope, please delete this thread!

I think, as can often happen with communication via text, there has been some miscommunication?
Communication via text can be difficult to interpret, so these misunderstandings can be quite common! As tone is missing it can be hard to interpret the intention of the person writing. I can, logically, see how you came to your own interpretation Vikki, but I don't think WhatThe meant it this way. Given how malleable and interpretable the English language can be we cannot moderate every single potentially ambiguous sentence. It would be even harder to communicate then!
We reviewed this thread and determined however that there was no ill-intention from WhatThe, it seems far more meant to be a bit of a joke. They were curious about the saying that Michael had said and also wanted to have a chat with them.

oh a question was asked i answered it took no offence from it in any way shape or form i learnt a long long time ago to listen to both sides of a debate nobody is always right and nobody is always wrong i respect other posters comments as they should do the same and i sure as hell am not going to fall out if someones point of view does not match mine

Yes thanks Jimm but I can also see why it has upset vikki (and I don't want to) and I can make a new chat with old farmer michael another day.
Signing off now. Break time.

Oof @vikki66- what ails you? It really is a very time worn joke to say you're taking the 'mickie' out of someone, especially if their name happens to be Michael. Don't you see that several of us know each other fairly well, & that @WhatThe after asking what 'what's sauce for the goose…..' meant, asked him how he was getting on with the new format here.
If you have a problem with a post you should report it, perhaps after pondering who you feel most likely to have got the 'Offended' post paused in the first place. The moderators will also decide whether this post needs closing; I think not, when it is completly harmless…..apart from yourself continuing to say untrue & unkind things about some of our lovely members. Perhaps try to get to know us all a little better before being so quick to judge, please.

vikki, I'm glad you stayed with us 🤗 I haven't digested all you've written yet!
What sparked my curiosity was that you'd not heard the phrase or it wasn't in full and I hope we'll return to this idiom another time! I was careful to capitalise Mickie and it was just an excuse to say hi.
(‘next-door to the autism spectrum’😮💨) I'd also like to return to this and a comment cantilip made about not fitting in on the forum so shall we start new threads?
TV beckons! We Might Regret This 😁

I just think it's an idea to get to know other members of any forum first @vikki66 - & here also to read all of a post a couple of times to get the gist of it. I'm slow to type, so hadn't realised that a member of the Scope team had already replied, who realised that there never had been any ill intent. I haven't always agreed with @WhatThe as they know - but I defend my right to support them when I know they've done nothing wrong. As for @michael57 - you couldn't meet a nicer person (& yes, he does have a very gentle, but great sense of humour). WhatThe asked kindly after him knowing he has a visual impairment.
I honestly thought that I was explaining that WhatThe had taken the michael, so micky out of a previous post referring to michael57; nothing more, nothing less, so wondered why you'd taken umbrage.
About me mentioning my son was said by his neuropsychologist to be 'next door to the autistic spectrum,'I just say it how it is; I'm completely honest, & have mentioned this before on the forum several times. I am sorry this caused you upset, but don't know why. Of course I don't know everything about autism because of this, but it does give me an inkling about the problems it causes, as I tried to intimate to Cantilip. Also having a neighbour on the autistic spectrum caused you to say, so I had '2 next door experiences of this.' You judged me in some way because of this….you appeared to judge others as not genuine or compassionate, & I will support them too knowing that's completely incorrect.
On the offended thread, I only replied as I was concerned about Catherine, & I wasn't trying to hush her, nor were others. I do worry about any misinformation on the community as I feel it can be harmful, & not just about political content.
We all get along great, as I hope you're finding. I hope you get to know me a little better (I'm not as bad as you think), & I you. Perhaps a fresh start?
