Good heavens, your still at it Marion, it could be facinating if I wasn't so tired, and yes I really am going now. take care all :) Pat aka eyes signing off

my reply before was that I was not posting any more on this thread then I read your posts and had to reply, thankyou :(

Sorry I was wrong in my last reply, Thankyou Maz for that and take care and have good un. Eyes ( a gratefull friend who as more branches to her tree than she could wish for) :)

the last reply you put was to maz and pat, and my name is pat. Or am I going mad. but now this is the last time I am joining in this cos its got to a base level. Good nite all and sleep tite. Pat x

Marrion, not at any stage have I said I do not like the replies, so find it confusing why you have a problem with me, but it is your problem and yes I could ignore you but that would leave you to attack others and I would miss you attacking me.

Marrion, please find somebody else to have a go at, I am really sorry if you have had a bad deal and that is genuine. take it as you will. Pat

Lesley - the thread you refer to was posted well before the issue you mention arose. I have to agree with the sentiments of this new thread tho, and was going to post something similar myself. I am relatively new myself and I can see that there are many new names appearing each day - all the 'niggling' etc that has been going on is surely enough to scare away many newbies -I suffered in a similar way in my novice days, so I know how it feels........ Let's make way for the continuing of 'joy-joy happy feeling' among us all :)

Marrion, I am sad that you have had bad dealings in the past. Pat x

Les hi :) you have no need I am sure to apologies. I dont think the majority of us want this kind of fight. Alas some folk take pleasure out of it but the good news is that for the most part its the minority. Pat x

Di you are a great leveler and if I was marooned on a desert island with a number of people I would be sideling up to you for comfort. This site needs people like you to keep folk on track. take care and have a good evening. Pat x

Hi all, Yes, let's stop all this bickering. I, together with Di and others have also been the victims of abuse on this site. Mostly because the threads have been misinterpreted. Anyway, I'm not bothered about other people. I know what I think and I have a right to think - democracy! I certainly don't class myself as "bad". Life is far too short to argue over spilt milk. Get on with life, we are only on this planet for a short time!! My time is running out, help I've so much to do. Sylvia xxx

i think the upset has passed now and i for one will not get involved.there are bound to be some debates that can get a little heated but you find it all works itself out.xxxx(:

Hello Amy and everyone, I love GC, I am in my second year of membership and the members are so helpful with lookups and advice. I use it to broaden my knowledge of family history research and genealogy and I try to help others when I can. Have you noticed, the fallouts do not happen when genealogy is involved - strange!! :-) Russell from'tarn

Hiya Amy, This is a lovely thread, like you I thought and was told that everyone on here was nice and friendly but alas when I posted my view on a thread it caused contraversy. I must add that some very brave folk came to my defence. I did try to seek guidance in case I had gone into a thread I shouldnt have done etc and that was missconstrued, so there does appear to be an eliment here that only want folk to agree with them. Again alas I cannot do that and have no intension of doing that. But, I do only want a nice friendly and some times strong debate where appropriate. Sorry, to go off on one on your thread keep up the positive vibes, it shows me there are still great folk on here Pat x

Amy Every messageboard I've been on has had its falling-outs. Some family members like to quarrel, others are more peacable. We don't have to join in the squabbling. Sometimes, like biting your tongue or leaving the room, you just have to ignore whats going on and find some friends who want to be amicable. nell

...friends again! There seem to be so many fallings out and bad feelings on GC at the moment and I for one think it's really sad! I'm a relative newbie (joined in April) and have been really suprised the last few weeks about all the bad feelings that have been going on on these boards. I'm all for free speach but could we all try to get along. Like we were told as children, lets play nicely! It took me a while to post on these boards when I joined as everyone seemed such good friends I felt quite shy to start contributing! Recently these boards seem to be over run with nastiness, bickering and in some cases practically witch hunts. Debate away, but lets try and keep things pleasant or at least civil. The vast majority of people on GC are sooooooo lovely (not least those of you who sent me such nice messages when I got engaged!) so lets all make a pact to try and bring back the old spirit of GC, I miss it! Yes, some people may have made posts etc that have upset, annoyed us at times but lets let that all be in the past and start over! PLEASE!! And yes, that was shouting!!!! It saddens me when I read messages from new members saying that they feel uncomfortable posting messages on threads, and that they think there opinions/thoughts are unwelcome, thats not the GC I know and love! So please, please, please can we all try and get back to being our usual adorable, helpful, friendly selves! Amy x
