I very much doubt it,

Rose .. there comes a time in every womans life when rather than being polite and considering everyone elses feelings , we say what we think ..
This is one of those moments
Kellie .. get over it! it was a supermarket .. I am sure the elderly person in question did not die of buttermilk deprevation ...
OMG I cannot believe I have contributed to a thread about finding buttermilk in a supermarket .. :-\

well I hope when I get to be an old lady, (or even the age I am now) someone will take the time to at least show me to the cashdesk if they can't help me themselves...I don't know of any store , anywhere, where a checkout or staffed counter is more than two minutes away.

dont ya just love GR?
I have an elderly Mum and sometimes she can be a PIA ..perhaps this lady was suffering from 1st stage dementia?
It does come across as being difficult and agressive .
As for Kellie?
I like your posts Kellie , but sometimes you can be a bit aggrivating
Stop biting .. be a bit more open to other peoples opinions or if you don't like the replys that don't agree with you, don't ask for an opinion in the first place...

Jeeeeeeez Sue please can you not accept all what is involved here, you seem to be reading outside the box.....

A few people on here have pointed out as to what has happened to day and if you say you can agree with Kellies actions and reactions then so be it but it does not make sense.....

I would appreciate you taking back the comments of "Ganging Up" !!!

well, im a working mum, "there is many of us on here" and id still help an old lady in a shop if i could,

also, i dont call people having a difference of opinion ganging up, that the problem with this site, if more than one member has the same apposing opinion, theres a "gang"

manners cost nothing

oh and, its EMPRESS Hayley,,,,,,,,,,,,not princess, :-D

Excuse Me Hayley for Breathing.
I don't wait in the wings to jump as you so plitely put it.
But when I see unfair ganging up on people wether it be Kellie or anyone else I will certainly have my say.
And Hayley I have got my facts right before coming on.
Kellie was talking about a situation she found herself in with an old lady who got uptight with Kellie for not helping.
No-one else made it personal only you by saying that you would be upset if people couldn't/wouldn't help your mother.
Which is very understandable.

Would your opinion have been any different if Kellie had have said.""A 40 yr old asked me where the buttermilk was"" and then gone and reported her to the manager.""

I think it would have been.

BC I ain't wrong.but if you can't stand the heat,,,,lolll

Hi Sue In Leeds

I don't usually get involved with argumentative threads but I did comment on Kellies other thread. Just the one post. I asked her why she was prepared to do something (reportiing ALL copied and pasted info that people have used to help others) that would upset and affect most people on the boards and not just those she had issues with. Kellies attitude and language were not at all nice and I honestly think that both threads needed to be read in conjuntion with each other to be able to draw a balanced opinion. Reading just this thread is like only hearing one side of the story.

Jeez is it a full moon tonight ? :-S

Sue please get your facts right before you come on here accusing me of things I have not done I havent been rude to you or anyone else, my opinion has differed thats all, and I am certainly not ganging up on anyone dispite being insulted, again because my I have dared to disagree, I certainly havent taken offence because of my Mum whom I love and respect dearly and it appears to be a crime....no wonder people choose not to respond to threads on here anymore with the likes of you waiting in the wings to jump on people for no reason its discusting. :-P

And for what it's worth Kellie said,

Some of us are not here to join your gang of abusers...
Some of us are here to see how the site works and how many laws you abuse...


So that is why she joined GR

And Nothing to do with Genealogy

As it happens having spent 20 odd years in retail I was going to answer Kellie's original post in the affirmative, I am often,
( last time was in Waterstones), stopped in stores and asked where such and such is...I evidently still have 'the look' if not the uniform.... wherever possible I help, old habits die hard.

Sue

They have been RRD...also the thread removed on geneology was nasty...

I will never ignore anyone and if I want to post on a thread I will whether that is to join in with banter, reflect an opinion or other.......

I may not agree with some of the comments Kellie has said but I have also posted and joined in on some of Kellies threads.........



Again I take great offence in you saying and othersI who posted on the thread are ganging up on her...

Rambling Report 1 May 2012 18:59

It's irrelevant whether I didn't "like" it or not Sue, I have sent you the posts which I asked GR Support to look at... the subject of whether it is permissible or not to post copyright information from another site on here is down to GR to sort out...not me.

I wanted the thread to stay so that GR could respond to it and clarify the t & Cs...before Kellie reports all such perceived breaches of copyright, and those doing look ups are stopped from using any data from any site but this one. As she has vowed to do


"#Sad_Mushroom .......


So ALL the copyright data that is illegally copied and pasted from Ancestry has to go...

Sorry to all...but you wanna play a bitch game and I have my bitch on...

Sue, page 3 of this thread,

Kellie also went on to start another thread on this subject and implied that she had authority from GR to police the boards and would be RRing any threads that she thought was braking copyright laws by way of copy and paste and also that any one who RR'd her would be targeted by her for such action, GR did review that thread and remove it because of her Hateful and abusive content


I am currently reading Kellie's new book,

"How to win friends and influence people"

BC Come on, I am sure you have been called worse than Butters..
And No I am sorry but I have read this thread at least 5x and if anyone was haranguing anyone it was Hayley dong it to Kellie.As Hayley took it personally against her mother.And Kellie is entitled to her opinion as much as anyone else.
And I don't need to wind my sweet neck in as I don't get uptight like you all do.

Rambling Rose.
No I haven't read the thread that was on Genalogy but I presume something happened you didn't like.

Mersey,,
People shouldn't be just given a second chance.they should be given at least 3 chances.and I haven't seen anywhere on this thread that Kellie was using Abusive Language.
