General Chat

My Aussie thread - running now for nearly 2 years - had the first post reviewed just recently. Perhaps someone thought I was being selective or elitist or even rascist - I don't know. GR did reinstate it but I changed the title of the thread and the opening post just in case some petty person decided they didn't like the tone of it :S

I have to admit I was being facetious and judgmental about both women in the deleted thread. ;)

I think the effects that the actions and appearance of a public person like Middleton might have on vulnerable girls and young women is a subject well worth discussion, though.

I too hope your daughter is getting good care, Edward, and certainly didn't mean to make light of such situations in what I said. Their seriousness is the very reason I find stick-thin celebrities so problematic.

Hello Edward, I hope your daughter and family are getting good support.

I think any topic should be open for discussion, as long as it is done fairly and sensitively and without being offensive, otherwise we go back to the past when things were kept hidden and never talked about,

That's a shame, our daughter has ******** so I would have been interested to have read that thread. Perhaps there needs to be a list of forbidden topics.

I do not understand why the first post be removed and yet subsequent postings are left. Seems very strange. If one objects to the first post then surely the replies would be objectionable also?

I posted twice on Fairy's thread.

We were promised that dossiers are now being kept on review requesters.

Unfounded abuse reports will be regarded as rule-breaking too, I hope we know.

No only yours here Janey and Fairy's first post on this board has been RRd too...

You're referring to the two of mine (one here, one on Genealogy Chat) -- or is someone else being ... er, bullied ... too?


-- Oh, oops, "crime", no, that wasn't me.

Unless you consider Michelle Obama's dress sense or Kate Middleton's body weight to be crimes! against nature? ;)

reported...why?

Neither was offensive, both subjects may have had some 'sensitive' subects mentioned therein, 'crime and eating disorders' but surely discussion of those topics cannot be considered as against t & cs? I honestly think that is taking things too far, whoever reported could you not have put your opinion and asked the OPs to rephrase perhaps?
