I wasn't going to say anything but I thought about it and decided I have as much right as anyone. My way of looking at it is------- I don't care if your Old, New, Tall, Short,Thin, Fat what ever you are.If People are nice and don't cause trouble thats good enough for me! At the end of the day do any of us really ' know ' each other? Very few I bet. So who ever you are Please just enjoy the boards and don't cause trouble and thats good enough for me! Christine x

christine, thank you, and I apologise for the rocky start we had

My Lord, are you lot STILL at it... I have been away (again) being very poorly (Again), And here we are.. Still arguing and gossiping, and fighting and witch hunting and stirring and.... etc etc... Do shut up the lot of you...!!! I nearly died (shouldnt really say that but hey), people we love and cherish are dying and are in pain all around us, there is war, poverty and acts of atrocity all over the world... But do they matter? Nope, the petty squabbling on GR ( a blooming internet site for goodness sake) is far more important it seems... Cor Blimey you lot.... get your priorities right eh? Em, ok , rant over.... :)) x

em well said

sorry batman... I got a bit cross :((

If you look at most names on this board they are nearly all anonymous,they may not be to close site friends,but i cant see the difference....there is an obsession with a few members wanting to know every personal detail-on every forum Im on ,and there are 3 others,with thousands of members,about 1% use their real name,most have a nickname..........just take a look at the BBC family history message boards-they actually term it nickname when you join.........changing your name to cause trouble is a totally different issue,,just having a nickname on a forum is a very normal thing to do........Ive never met anyone personally on this site,and probably never will,and that is the case of the majority of people who use this site,yet again a few people who use general as their social life unable to realise that most people on genes arent even on the boards and are here for genealogy instead of mindless pap .

I agree with you Em. Thankyou Batman. C x

I actually like a bit of mindless pap myself. Makes real life worries easier to cope with if you ignore them for a bit.

Sophia....you took the words right out of my mouth...XX BC

Oh come on mandy... Is all this So important? lets agree to disagreee ;))

Well said Em, (glad you're feeling better). Welcome back Batman, I don't personally care who you are or were, and I find this new and tedious attitude of hitting out at new/or returning members just in case they MIGHT turn out not be 100% pleasant somewhere between mass paranoia and crass stupidity! I hope it all settles down and you, and other new/returning members can enjoy the boards. Bev x

I have NEVER added to these sort of threads before - Have to agree with Bev.Thank you Bev, my sentiments exactly. Tina

OK OK....everyone hold hands and make a circle....Now..... *SING IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS PAP PAP IF YOUR HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS... PAP PAP

BC PMSL *sits down next to BC*

BC Stop it! I nearly wet myself then! Ahh thats what PMSL means - Doh

* siddles in as well*, hoping someone would do this...Are we playing Happy families again....?

thank you ladies for your kind words, the batmobile only takes one passenger at a time, so you will have to form an orderly queue

This is Sophias fault, she dared me!! I have a burning question though............wheres Robin?? Donna

Don't blame me - I dont even know you.lol

looking for a new one actually, we already have a Robin on here though maybe he would do
