General Chat

I agree with Paul (Chunks); Thanks Michelle, and Estelle.

I asked them if they would put "Smiley Faces" and Free Email Cards on so that people could enter them on their thread.They replied next day saying they would consider it along with others. It could be a nice Idea if implemented. Hal.

i agree benderella there is too much whinging on here sometimes.sorryif i offended anyone by saying thatxxxxx(:

i agree bev.then that should be reportedxxxx(:

Excuse me Benderella, have you ever thought of going to anger management classes? Lin

In defence of the team, I did find one persons thread offensive, it was not on this board it was on the success board, so I copied it and sent it to the team, I got a reply the next day, and yes the thread had gone, the person who put it there was refering to a lot of sexual inuendoes..and as we have all sorts and ages using the boards I didn't want new comers thinking that we were all like that and it putting them off..so all I can say is on that occation well done team. Bev

Has everybody kissed and made up now?

we're feeling silly today!xxxxx(:

what was that cheese paul.LOLxxxxxxxxx(:

Bendy, as you said to me a week or so ago... very mature

done it once paul and that was when trouble was caused.we all have rows but that doesn't mean that we have to keep running to G.R to complain.we are all adults and maybe we should all start acting like one.love and hugsxxxxx(:

Lisa et al, All of us, you and I included, have been guilty of occasionally suggesting to someone else that they should or should not post something. However, when you post a message on this board, you're given the following warning; Important Note: Please do not post anything here which may offend, infringe anyone's rights, or breach the law. If you see anything here that may do so, then please inform us of it using the Contact Us page. We do not generally monitor contributions before they appear here, so we rely upon users to help eliminate offending material. GR admin are therefore quite within their rights to remove any post that they feel offends, especially if they have complaints. The threads that were removed this morning were very well intentioned, I don't disagree with the sentiments at all, but some of the wording was very strong, and I for one am not surprised at all that they were removed. Paul

I'd love to boo and I'd love to hiss And shout that it's behind you And when I get my equity card Then I will join in too! Oooh, I'm on a real roll here! Must get on - work to do...! Estelle

Estelle, Thank you, thank you, thank you. That response has satisfied me; probably a lot of my other chums too. If that reply, in rhyme as well, is on behalf of Michelle and colleagues of you both then so much the better. Goes to show you do get into the spirit of things....I'll retract my insinuation/criticism unreservedly. oxoxoxoxoxoxoxo........hugs and kisses all round, Buttons, ;-x) P.S.You are most welcome to watch the panto, and feel free to boo and hiss where you feel appropriate (but not at me!)

WHAT IS OFFENSIVE MICHELLE.HAVING A DEBATE WITH ANOTHER MEMBER.THAT IS WHAT CALLED DEBATE AND TOPICAL TOPICS.PEOPLES VIEWS.IFEEL THAT I PAY MY MEMBERSHIP AND UNLESS IT IS ANYTHING TO DO WITH CHILDREN OR OF A SEXUAL NATURE THEN I CANNOT SEE THE HARM.AFTER ALL YOU DID SAY YOU HAD TO BE 18 AND OVER TO BE ON HERE.I WILL BE REVIEWING MY DECISION TO RENEW AS I AM GETTING A LITTLE FED UP BEING DICTATED TO.THAT IS WHY SO MANY MEMBERS HAVE LEFT.

Its nice that g/r have given us a reason etc through a thread, so i thank them, but its hard to say what is offensive and what is not as its a personal opinion. I suppose g/r could set up another board and name it not for the easierly offened, so on that board you could post anything and if you get offened easy then you do not go onto that board. Then i suppose everyone gets what they want in a round about way, LOL. wow, even im confused now,LOL. :-)

Thank you michelle Elaine x :o))

i think genes do a brilliant job and cant fault them in any way. every site has its problems not just genes. i am glad that they delete the offensive threads,as i for one was accused of being a trouble maker the other night,along with a few other members. i have never participated in any arguments on this site before and nor will i in the future,unless my friends are being hounded.then like any good friend,i will back them up. i think that michelle and the genes team are doing the right thing susie

Agree with you Paul, Genes normally answer their emails, OK sometimes they are slower than other times. I asked Genes would they consider a proposal and they agreed to consider it, If people could read the thread (GR Answers request about Unwanted Certs) and if you agree please add to it. Thank You Pat x

Estelle, you just proved my point and negated my point at the same time lol
