I'd just like to add my thoughts to this thread. I used to post regularly on the General Boards up until a few months ago. Then there was a huge disagreement with much mud slinging, nastiness, back biting etc. so I took a few months rest. A couple of weeks ago I thought I would return and start posting again. And the day I returned and read the General Boards - there it was, once again, more disagreements, more bitchiness, more mud slinging. I felt quite sad by it all - nothing had changed. I'd like to add that I belong to another forum which has family history as it's main theme, but, like General USED to be, it's also a place to share good times, bad times, research, and/or just have a good old chat and wish people well. I'm also a moderator on my son's website which has been going for 9 months now - during that time I am very pleased, and proud too, to say there hasn't been one person on there who has stirred up trouble - we are, just as the General Board here used to be, a very friendly, welcoming bunch of people who talk about all sorts of topics without so much as a hint of nastiness. Why? Because we have one word for each other - RESPECT. If anyone would like more info. on both websites, please feel free to pm me or - I'll be glad to help. Much love and light to you all Sylvia Ross

Hi David :-) It's not a new concept. I've heard it before (probably from you lol) however, I thought it was the time to remind everyone. IT CAN HAPPEN if we are not more sensible.

Why couldn't they take their vitriol elsewhere - conduct themselves with the dignity that they claim to deserve? 10 minutes on the phone would have ironed out the mis-understanding. Squabbling in public like Fishwives (No offence to Fishwives - sorry) Jules Xx

You are right Lesley but i think it will be the case of people leaving. There are so many that have left and others like myself that hardly post anymore. Its a shame as this was such a fun and caring place and all of us are losing out because of the arguments. Jax xx

Either GR will shut us down or most people will leave.
