During a conversation about the weather in work, I happened to mention

when it rains, one of my cats has a habit of bringing frogs in, which then
take refuge in their water dish. Someone remarked that they didn't like
frogs because her Grandfather would stick his fork through them if he
found
them in his greenhouse. I said what a shame, think of all the good they
could do [thinking of them eating unwanted bugs]. The general opinion was
that you *don't* want frogs in your greenhouse, but no one knew why.

So, why not?

One can only conclude that your grandad was a nasty ignorant man.

Read my post again, decode it correctly, then you can apologize for that
comment.

I remarked that the grandfather was a nasty ignorant man. I see no
reason to change this view. *It would be my view about anyone that
deliberately stuck a fork in a frog or any other creature.

Harry there is a lot of difference between the words "the" and "your".

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I would certainly agree that
someone who kills any creature out of some sort of spite falls into
the nasty category.

However please could you explain, in simple terms, how you are able to
conclude that Kathy's grandfather is nasty and ignorant (your original
reply used the word "your") on the basis of her report about the
behaviour of an entirely different grandfather.

If you can't explain, perhaps you would now have the simple good grace
to apologise to her for the insult, however inadvertent that might
have been.- Hide quoted text -

Well if he's not her grandad I'm sorry to her. But the grandad is an
evil *******. Whoever he belongs to. I don't see the reason for
bringing the topic up anyway. unless to gain some strange notoriety or
to grab attention.
