I agree with Helen ,Jude and the rest,,, why should only the select few know who the bullies are? We should ALL know so we can keep out of their way..

Thank you for being so brave to post this Maz. It is unfortunate that you have now been taken ill, arising from the actions of the Bullies. (I read about it on Wendy's thread) Deb

I read Wendy's thread before coming here... and I'm still astounded! Maz... I recall when you came back and posted your apology thread - and although I didn't add to it (I didn't have a clue what was going on... still haven't lol), I thought you to be very humble and kind. Now I think even more of you. I don't know who the people in 'cliques' are - not those who cause problems, anyway. I have had problems myself here - been a target of someone who seems to have left here (or changed name)... and it was VERY upsetting. My computer IS my lifeline - I haven't left my house in years, and keep in regular contact with friends via my computer. To be a target of hatred is terrible - to feel persecuted is awful for people like me - and others I expect. I found two people on here that sent me private messages and made me feel as though I was not alone, or wrong. For you stand up and admit you had been part of a problem, and then to be so eloquent and sensible in explaining what you did wrong is the sign of a very special person... there a lot of people on here who appear to be very proud of you (and rightly so). As I said on Wendy's thread, it's not up to you or anyone else to name and shame other people - GR management should be doing that... nobody on here should be a target for anyone else to pick on. I hope everything settles down very soon... and, just for the record, it IS illegal to send hate-mail (including e-mails)... you can complain to the senders ISP, or e-mail provider. Good luck.

Hmmm.....I replyed to Bryan's thread which many are talking about; as far as i'm concerned he asked a question and I answered, simple! There was obviously something going on between Bryan & Mike from what was said but to me it didn't seam anything new as far as these boards are concerned. I think to many people play to many mind games, I just let them get on with it! Margaret

Maz, Save the abusive emails and report them to the police. They deserve it. Once you have enough evidence, you can block the sender (not sure if you use Outlook, its easy on there). I have seen on Bendy's thread that this has made you ill. Please don't let them get to you, wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery, Carole

Agree with Ann and Jude let us know so we can all stay away from them. take care helenx

l'm with Ann on this, let us know who it is, then we can all stay well away. jude sarf wales

So I have learned something else here tonight that there are cliques on the Board. I have also been the victim of abuse on the Board and have never hidden behind a different name. Why should I, I have nothing to hide. As a lot of you, we live in a democratic country and we should be able to voice our opinions. I know many may not agree with me at times, but I have the right to be human. Maz thank you for owning up and may you enjoy the Board in future, albeit with caution. The best thing is not to answer nasty remarks. Sylvia xxx

I wish somebody would message me with a hint as to who is behind this as I for one would like to completely ignore them in the future. ann Glos

Maz, Tell them to message ME they will not like the answers they get, ((((((((love and hugs))))))))), we are all with you . Wendy.xx

I'm with Becx, send them my way...I'm not so easy to bully. GET A LIFE

Hello all i never post as a rule for fear of what happened to my sister. Maz you are a very brave lady My sister was once Very helpful on all boards regards lookups and such She made a mistake and she left the boards as her apologies meant nothing to those that put her down, Now there are a lot on the boards that probably dont remember her All i can say is please people think what you are doing to others Yes Bullies are cowards Nan

Well done Maz. That took courage. Are we all aware that the sending of emails which are abusive,threatening or perceived as threatening by the receiver, is a criminal offence? Patty

Oh Bec didn't know you were so fond of people talking dirty lol. We'll put a stop to it, there is always a way of getting rid of dirt. MWAH from Aunt Pat x

FAO: Whoever is emailing Maz abuse... Message me on here and I'll send you my personal email address... Then you can send me s***...You won't know what's hit you! Becx

Maz have emailed you, don't worry there must be a way x Pat x

Hi Maz, I have been reading through this thread and it makes me so sad to see the unhappiness which can be caused through thoughtless/insensitive `messages` which people have left on some previous GR threads. I use these boards hoping to communicate with like minded people. I have only been using these for a short time but have found them to be in the main very interesting as well as very very funny. To the majority many thanks for some very happy GR times to those others... remember `what goes around` etc. Love and Peace to all Marianne.xxxx

Can some one plesae tell me how to block emails... this is driving me nuts! They are private emails not via GR! Maz x

It truly saddens me to see that we still have some trouble makers on this site. We are all on here to try and trace ancestors and make connections and also hopefully to have some light hearted fun when we take a break from those brick walls. I sincerely hope that those trouble makers will now try and find there amusement elsewhere and let the rest of us continue to enjoy ourselves here. Perhaps we should start ignoring their threads as I believe that will really upset them they must be sad people and certainly not brave if they cannot put there names to their threads/replies. Maybe GR should for a while stop the use of nicknames but why should the majority suffer for the few. By the way I am a little old lady and always use my own name. A BIG HUG for brave Maz and all of you who have suffered by this gang. Take care out there folks and watch your back those knives hurt Pat

Mike has, why??
