Can´t believe that GR can treat a paying member like this.
Hope they give him a refund.
It´s true that John can come over as self opinionated, but that´s nothing compared with the downright nastiness from some posters who seen to get away scot free.
I think it´s disgusting.

Admin told me the decision was correct in their view :-( so reasoning didn't work!

they're probably in favour of bringing back hanging as well

they could at least show some realistic common sense and reduce the sentance to a couple of weeks.

I trust they've refunded his subs - he just upgraded to platinum

I agree with most of what has been said on here.

They say the Church is full of sinners and I know JustJohn would hold his hands up to being one of those. :-D
He would also know about forgiveness. Apologies (whether public or private) can be very restorative. However, like an argument, it takes two to make an apology work.

While we are talking about people being headmistressy, let it be said that in a lot of infant schools the main school rule or motto is 'be kind'. A good rule on here, I think.

Don't think they will back down as will be a loss of face

Many moons ago there was a big fracas on here and some long term members voiced their discontent and the outcome only them to get a lifetime bam

Caused a big uproar so much so the site went into overdrive and was closed down for a few days. I think it was

Members were told don't post your discontent or give us any aggro or you will be banned too

Some of the old members started their own family research help site

Seem to remember one was a Val or Valerie who was a BIG help looking up census info etc for other members

He has been banned from the boards, he can still use his membership for his research. So his Platinum upgrade is still valid.

I did not come on the boards for over a year when I first joined. Did not really know what to expect.

Now all I pay for is the use of the boards. Prefere other site(s) for my research.

It seems as though several people have contacted GR, myself included, but no joy - Nicky is sticking to her guns. Reminds me of Maggie Thatcher......"The lady's not for turning"....... Nicky will be too young to remember that.... :-D


The group that left GR included Glen with Tinsel Knickers and Heather Posi didn't it? Family Tree Forum?
