I wish we had a "like" button Renes thank you but it beggars belief that people dont know who we are talking about

Renes Report 3 Apr 2013 20:18

and as I have now seen SylviainCanada s post


I also agree 100% with her comments


lets hope GR read this thread thru from start to finish

and see the sniping ............. of experienced researchers


I too have seen enough ------------

Very well said Linda

I am sure all the member, that freely give their time and money, to assist 1000s

of members with their research, appreciate a big pat on the back

rather than being hit by the snipers ..............

whose sole aim is to criticize helpers

as you say Linda ...... playground behavior


I also agree with Glitterbaby ....... she was assisting a member, by posting and

correct research was immediately posted ... all brilliant standard GR board

help

Then cometh the sniper ------------------------

NanaSue .................


Just so you will not blame anyone else


I have reported your thread of 3 Apr 2013 15:45

I find your constant slagging of other helpers on GR personally and morally offensive.


GR may, or may not, agree with me. I do not really care.


I have tried to be polite to you, but I find it unconscionable that you think it appropriate to be so rude and unfair to people who have spent many years on GR, helping other people .......... and who have achieved many successes, and received many thank yous.


It is particularly unconscionable that you have brought your fight with helpers on to THIS thread, which was started to help a member who really does need help ........ and when you really do not know the facts, and are talking about things of which you know nothing.


I do not know if you are jealous of what others can achieve, or what the reason is, but you have now been slagging other helpers for months and years .

That is not the way most of us work on this site ....................... we all help each other, and are polite and affable.

Certainly will not be deleting this thread

Started it in good faith as I thought I was trying to help another member.

Has the info posted onto this thread been posted onto the original?

If so, would GlitterBaby consider deleting this one now please?

I have held off from posting on this and other threads where our brilliant helpers are being targeted by others who think they know everything.

None of us know everything none of us are perfect and ALL of us at some point need help that is why this board exists :-S

It does not exist to allow members to snipe at each other or to malign those who are trying to help.

It does not exist for any member to have a go at new members who haven't followed the t&c's to the letter.

As has been said on numerous occasions by several members we all had to start somewhere.

If you are unwilling to contribute in a positive way then why bother to commment.

As said in the Disney film "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"

I think it is way past time that the GR team did something about the what is IMHO just bitchiness.

I'm sorry everyone but I have had enough of this playground behaviour and I think anyone who agrees should post to say so.

Wonder how long this will stay here ;-)

Many of the people with high post counts (which isn't actually a crime) are housebound for various reasons, some because of infirmity, others because they are carers for relatives with problems.

To be so scathing about them shows a complete lack of decency

Thank you Rambling Rose - well said in respect of the researchers ---

I hold the researchers here in the highest regard

The search for my father ( who changed his name when he married my mother for some still unknown reason )

had 247 replies from some of the most brilliant researchers on GenesReunited

And he was identified ........... and his family found going back 400 years

awe inspiring

Rambling Report 3 Apr 2013 16:10

I reported you NanaSue, I think your comment to Renes was un-necessary...you cannot possibly know whether she is privy to what is happening here. Also I object strongly to your attitude that people who have a high post count are wanting to be supremos..or anything similar...they have a high post count because they have spent many hours over many years helping other members with research.

NanaSue

quote "You don't know what is happening so how can you comment".

as a genealogical researcher can I have the source of this comment -

or am I to assume you somehow, magically KNOW what I KNOW

if that IS how you research ----- not surprised you

quote "I haven't got up to 30,000 posts under my belt"

says it all

CupCakes Report 3 Apr 2013 15:45

Welcome Renes - another kicking I can take it. I'm to old to worry about it.

You don't know what is happening so how can you comment.

It is really getting my goat they way some of the helpers say and do what they like. I want the board posts to increase and people to join in without feeling itimidate or bullied. Don't do this and don't do that - change this and change that is all so scarey. All this righteous indignation from those who expect to be obeyed.

I haven't got up to 30,000 posts under my belt but I'm a caring sole and don't like to see people hurt. Sarcasm you haven't seen anything yet at those who deserve it

This reporting is interesting. Somebody has just reported my thanks to GR amazing.

Can we try the gentle kind approach please.

As my granson says chillax out there

Have to say the thread reads much better with the RR active


Nikita -- Jean

Hope the research helped you

Thats is what should matter on this site ......

Renes Report 3 Apr 2013 14:55

In case you are wondering I have reported the posts in the last half hour

It was explained to NanaSue by Cynthia that she did not KNOW all the facts regarding some background information concerning the thread

As per usual NanaSue IGNORED all ---- and was happy to goad, gloat and post sarcasm as per normal

THIS IS A GENEALOGY SITE -- AND YOUR COMMENTS ARE UNCALLED FOR AND UNNECESSARY
NANASUE IF YOU WANT SOMETHING TO DO TRY GENEALOGY RESEARCH AND HELP OTHER MEMBERS ON THE BOARD

Why do you assume that I reported your post?

Take no notice of some of the posts on here.

Ask for help.............it will be provided, if at all possible

Oh my god Reggie, I know I just left that bit out as it is a detail not needed and has no effect on the issue.
If Jean is reading any of this she will think we all have a screw loose
