General Chat

I have just logged on. Can someone tell me what the hell is happening now? Deb

i am a decent person. This is why I'm not impressed with all the back biting and snarling that's taken place tonight. I genuinely hope that those who get their kicks out of starting rows and arguements out of nothing, and seem to enjoy getting on everybodies case, are the rarities here. There just seems to be an awful lot of paranoia here, and I get enough of that in the real world!!! :-( Carole xxx

I look in here now n then....BUT!.. I can never follow a story as people add a thread and then delete it.....some add to another thread...then delete.... Others delete after having thier say..... Then you get the ones that start a thread about another thread and others reply.....then half the others delete what they said! Then you get the ones like me! starting a thread asking what all the fuss is about!....GR delete it..... Then you get the numbskulls that dont know how to answer a thread thats already been started!..So they start...ANOTHER THREAD! Get my drift?.... A very confussed Gerri.

this is me being honest: I don't come on this site very often as i don't have a computer and I can only come on when I'm visiting my parents. I use this site for family tree research and tips and have just discovered the boards recently. What I've seen tonight is leaving me with a horrible taste in my mouth and has made me feel slightly sickened. What makes this worse is the fact that the people posting here are adults, not 15 year old girls. The times I have posted have been mainly on the tips board and the 'finding for' and the people who I have talked to have been lovely and very helpful. However, reading the general board tonight has left me with the suspision that I won't be visiting the general board very often. There are an awful lot of extremes on this site. Threads of support when people are in genuine distress, threads of attack and general bitchiness when things are going 'a bit slow'. There is enough hate and distress in this world without needless attacks springing up here. As I said before, I'm new to this and I don't know of the politics and history on here. And to be honest, I'm glad I don't. Please everyone, don't ruin these boards for the newcomers as it isn't giving off a very good impression. And well done to everyone who have been trying hard all night to bring a nice atmosphere back. Hopefully my next visit will be a more pleasant one. Love and peace Carole xxx

This board has been relatively cheerful lately except for sad or bad news that some people post, so they get info, advice or support and that is fine. I haven't had the chance to see exactly what is going on tonight, only know it doesn't look nice and I am sad that some people feel the need to be unpleasant. If you are a decent person who just wants to be friendly then please don't feel put off, stay and help us get the board back to a happy place to visit and have a laugh. Liz

Whenever I come on the boards, there has been an argument, I don't think anyone can actually come on the general board's without having read about one or seen one in full blow melt down.

Not me I look on the boards in absolute horror at my friends getting persecuted time after time and so often have to sit on my hands to stop myself typing !!

how many of you just look on the general boards to see whats kicking off and dont actually post?
