Still miffed as to what is wrong with the name :-S When I joined GR I sat for ages trying to think of a suitable name but as I don't have that much imagination I just ended up as a number, even so would not dream of changing it.. Don't let the bullies get to you <3

I always liked to see Amazing Grace as said above it also made me think of the song which is lovely, just like the little girl in lilac . x

I'm glad you've changed your name back to AmazingGrace. The person/s who sent the PM's are not worth getting upset about - their opinion means less than nothing.

Your little girl looks amazing to me <3

Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate your support...

I only gave in and changed the name because I really don't want to be offensive to anyone (or I try not to be!) I love this site because I really really enjoy family history, and people and have made lots of very nice lovely friends. I know computers can enable people to be a bit snipey as they wouldn't say it to your face but I always kind of think it happens on FB or is a teenage thing.

I will...go and change it back!

Thank you all so much, I am very touched by your support and Persie for being my champion! Thanks Janet, I love to be able to help, and am actually very excited to be looking for an Australian family, I don't often get much of a chance to do so!

Hugs to you all, I can't express enough my thanks

How very sad and hurtful some people can be, and to actually go out of their way to mention it by PM....their sadness I meant

Well........if thats the most worrying thing in their life....they've got it easy

Please, "Gracie", change back to AmazingGrace08; and if you receive any more nasty messages, ask genes reunited to block the people that send them, then just ignore them and hold your head high :)

Hi Perse,

I agree wholeheartedly with what you have said!

Do some members just come on this site to upset others?? It would certainly seem to be so in some cases.

I wish that they would find something more productive to do!

My message to those who have PMd Grace is - GET A LIFE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!

I still can't see why they objected. I know why she changed but I'm afraid I would not have done so.

That's a shame, and how petty minded of some people. What's wrong with AmazingGrace? Its both a hymn and a description, and very apt.

Beggars belief Persie but should not be surprised by these
sad wastes of space whose lives are so filled with nothing.

I also thought the name was beautiful and of the hymn every
time I saw it.

Thank you Persie for letting us know. I had noticed the change and wondered why.

This kind person has been helping me over the past weeks in an area that is out of my knowledge. How can anyone suggest anything negative about such lovely board name.

The complaint must reflect the negative attitude of the person who has made the unkind remarks, for me I could only think of the hymn when I read it....and if anyone thinks that is cheesy........tough.- jl

Hi Perse, some people are despicable. Totally uncalled for. I am sorry that she has been upset. I would suggest that, if she gets any more such PMs she send them straight to admin support and ask for the person/people to be blocked. I thought Amazing Grace was a beautiful name.

Well said Persie.

I have put some thought into suitable board names for those who delight in this type of antisocial behaviour.

Quite difficult to come up with anything suitable which won't get me banned!!
