Sorry.


                              

I HAVE NOW TAKEN DOWN MY PIECE ABOUT OUR ICE CREAM SCOOP.

TOO MANY TROLLS. TOO MUCH JEALOUSY. TOO MUCH CHIP ON SHOULDER.

    He does, Chloe. But, in all fairness, it is Cro's problem - not ours to sort out.

    All comments taken down? Why? I can tell you why: A nerve was hit. Still, that's what happens as people get older. They become more fragile - and maybe we should take account of that and make allowances for it.

    I know you are quite a bit older than me, Cro. Which is why it comes as a particular disappointment that you don't stand by your original post. If we don't have confidence in ourselves than who has confidence in us.

    No one is after you, Cro. But you do have to allow questions being asked.

    Again I'm sorry and I'm surprised by those reactions..I'm not young too , nearly 71, but I'm open minded and my grandson is keeping me young. I discovered Mr. Cro's blog some weeks ago and was interested cause he lives in France. Well people are what they are and that's ok. I will probably keep on reading his blog without making comments. Too stupid to feel ridiculous at my age. But I must say Mr. Cro seems not to like other opinions.

      I do not see why you should be sorry, Chloe. Sorry for what? Sorry to voice a reasonable observation?

      You are right, and I hope Cro will reflect on this without his mood going down the drain, he doesn't like others' opinions if they are different to his. Last time we communicated he called me "stupid". I just about had it with him then. To call someone stupid without cementing their argument is, I don't know, a bit limited.

      Never mind. Blogland, like any land, has a lot to teach us. If only we'd learn.

    I'm sorry that you have had to make an adjustment. I do often wonder what I've missed though. That I/C scoop looks as if it has seen a lot of service. The smart cooks are using scoops for little cakes to get 'equal' amounts of mixture (Mary Berry and other grandmothers!).

    Mr. Cro seems to be his own gravedigger. He takes it too seriously. To get valorized by family and friends is what many people seem to need.

    This is a classic example of what can happen when you post something as simple as a piece about an ice cream scoop. The fucking trolls just can't behave themselves. The venom that exudes from these people is (other than predictable) extraordinary. I notice that I'm now even being attacked because of my age.

    Unbelievable.

      Be fair, Cro. I did not "attack" you for your age. Quite the opposite. Even my father (he'll be eighty later this year), and a highly intelligent man, is beginning to show his age. Well, I put his occasionally frankly puzzling line of discussing something down to age. It's better than, belatedly, drawing conclusions on his character.

      To put it another way: In Chloe's shoes I would not have said what she did. One may argue her comment was unnecessarily provocative and bound to lead to conflict. Neither should I have picked up her baton. Doesn't invalidate the comment I made and you so quickly took down. I even said, explicitly, that there is nothing wrong with name dropping.

      One last point: People are too quick to shout "troll".

      Of course I can [enlighten you). Unlike you I am not retired and have other things to attend to.

      Let's take it from the top - and please stay calm before you explode.

      Chloe hinted at your many references you make to people in the limelight; people you have known; people you know; people who know people who are related/known to you.

      As I said in the comment you took down, there is nothing wrong with your approach. However, it is a recurring theme in your posts. So your ice cream scoop and some tenuous link to Washington or wherever wasn't a one off. I have said it earlier today, but don't mind repeating myself, it is one of your trademarks to name drop (it's no secret, Cro). I also said that it would have been better if Chloe hadn't mentioned it. Because, essentially, it's neither here nor there who you know or who you went to school with or ... What counts is who you are. And, at least at the moment, you sure are short of good will. If only you had bothered to read my last post which touches on this subject, inspired by a rather moving comment by Rachel. But you can't be bothered, can you. And that's fine. Some people are happy to engage in intelligent conversation, some commune with their courgettes.

      Neither will I speculate why you do have this need to name drop. In my family and circle - and boy oh boy oh boy could I drop names, positively dripping - it was considered ill mannered to do so.

      I will not be tempted to speculate on why your need is such. Just stick with Tom S. He too is a bit of a dropper. Correction, he is a drip.

      You wanted an answer. You got an answer.

      U

      PS Not that it'll be much of a consolation but I do think Chloe has conducted (and keeps conducting) herself rather badly in this latest exchange.

      I do not know you and that's it. Why should I follow your advice? If you are a friend of Mr.Cro it's all right to take his defense, but maybe you are just a lonely soul. I'm not aggressive, Mr. Cro thinks that I'm a person called Mia Amore. Do not know here and I just reacted. Other thinking people are not welcome here I found it out just now. I'm nearly 71 and really need no lessons.

      I happened to mention that the Ice Cream Scoop was bought when my wife was living in the USA (in the 50's) when her father was at the Embassy in Washington.

      Unfortunately the word 'embassy' hit certain troll nerves, and the insults flowed. I can take it.

    I have no allegiances to Chloe. I don't know who she is. However, I do think the way you, Cro, and some of your commentators vilify her is shameful. She may be any of what you suggest - all the more reason to hold your horses. Glass houses and casting stones spring to mind.

    You talk about trolls? Never is there more of a troll than the one trolling in the "safety" of his own blog.

    Can't you see what this is? A fox hunt. All the huffing and puffing of the self righteous, stoking a fire which you could have put out early on in the proceedings. But you didn't, did you?

    I won't comment on the trolls who trawl as I missed thoses posts but I will comment on Cro's supposed 'name dropping'. I love hearing of his life as it is now and how it was. Why should he deny the life he has led and the people he has known? His life is so far removed from my own and that is what fascinates me and keeps me coming back ... and the fact that he is a gentle, warm and animal-loving human being. U will no doubt call me a sychophant. Again. Meh.
