As has been said by others, this thread is not likely to encourage new people to use the boards.

Can I suggest either that NS deletes it or that nobody else posts to it so that it will disappear off the current board.

I am very annoyed that the unpleasantness that sometimes occurs on this board has been exported to the Genealogy Chat board - the thread has absolutely nothing to do with Genealogy!

NS Was asked to delete it and also that it was on the wrong board in the first place

Can you be vaccinated against Whooshing?

Potty

Potty Report 23 Apr 2013 15:11

Yes, I saw those posts, Roy. I just think it should now be ignored and allowed to die - which is why I started this rather than posting on the original thread.

Fun part aside, I do think it is all rather silly and no need for it....thats my opinion....

Errol, would you please consider removing your comment about the measles epidemic? I'm living right next to it and so many families are suffering and there has been one associated death to date. It's distressing for all of us.

Although I disagree I have amended so as not to upset you and people affected by measles.

Thank you, Errol, I appreciate that. It's a bit too close to home for many of us.

NanaSue should delete that posting ASAP - what on earth must people think? those who never go near the Chat board - they must think we are all arguing all the time and they will be dissuaded from ever joining in all the fun we have

Cynthia Report 23 Apr 2013 16:26

Hi Kuros,

I almost put a thread up asking if anyone was affected by the epidemic in Wales. As you can see from my avatar, it's something I'm interested in :-)

Could discuss further, but don't want to side track this thread...... :-D

Unfortunately, some people never listen to good ideas from others ........

............... such as that thread being on the wrong Board and that it should be removed.

Some people believe they know more than others, and that they have more rights than others

These are the people who cause problems on this, and any other site


The only way for it to be removed from that Board would be for it to be reported to GR


I will not do that ................. as I, for some reason, seem to be her prime candidate for doing the reporting of her posts, that then are whooshed by GR

Not true!!

I've reported one of her posts for being offensive. That was weeks ago, and GR did not uphold my complaint, saying the post could remain on the thread.
