Im afraid its the norm on here to be accused of being in a witch hunting lynch mob if you have a different opinion to some. By putting up this thread, instead if doing so privatly, has made it open to debate and everyone is entitled to their opinion....but should not be accused of witch hunting if they do so. If Linda diddnt want people disagreeing with what she did/her son did, her she shouldnt have posted publicly whilst walking away. Elaine x (not on a witch hunt of any kind) |

Unfortunately there is a history on GR of people causing trouble by masquerading as others or having multiple IDs or leaving and coming back as someone else. This is why people get so upset when this sort of thing happens, especially those who have been victims in the past. I hope Linda will have an explanation for what happened. Gwynne |

I agree with BC & everyone who agreed with her:) It's between Jan & Linda. The rest of us can think what we like - personally (seeing as it's only a website and not grand espionage) I will give Linda the benefit of the doubt - no real harm has been done. |

If i were to go on a witch hunt or join a lynch mob, you would be the first to know! i havn't lynched mobbed anyone on here, and really hope the remark 'i have been lynched by the same mob on here before' wasn't pointed in my direction....i do think it's a great idea to mail genes and request our numbers to be on show, that way this sort of thing will be wiped out.. also, just a note, i don't think you'll ever find Elaine and i in the same lynch mob - ever, and it is a first that we agree on a subject ;-))) x |

I saw last night's events and read this first thing this morning before work. On page 4 Helen Bell commented 'how would a teenager know how to change the name' (or words similar) True - but more to the point - WHY would a teenager change the name, if just coming on for a prank or a bit of fun?? I have seen other members children posting under their name saying 'hi I'm so and so's son/daughter'................ (sorry for bumping - just wanted to express something that's been bugging me all day) |

I think the point should be recognised that, these days, a large number of teenagers know a heck of a lot more about how PCs, the Internet and websites work than their parents. It's highly likely that, after using this site, Linda left her PC on, still logged on to GR, the teenagers began using it for games or surfing, then realised it was still logged on to GR and decided to have some 'fun'. I recall another GR member telling me a while ago that 'kids' had once got onto this site and used a member's name without their knowledge. This could very well have happened again. Anyway, I'm certain that Jan and Rick are more than capable of sorting this situation out with GR's help. CB >|< |
