Glenys, Thanks for that. I always try to give a balanced view - but my balance doesn,t necessarily conform to that of some others. As no-one has fallen out with anybody today - I don,t really believe that you are in Timbuktu. If I,m wrong, send me some bananas then. Very best wishes. Happy days. |

Harry, I've only just seen the thread. I can't see why it should upset anybody - it's only a suggestion, after all! :-) Glenys x |

Buttercup fields, Damn again. If it is working, why didn,t I find it 30 years ago? By the way, for brevity, I also like to abbreviate titles - in your case I,ll give it a miss. Nice to hear from you again. Happy days. |

Deanna, You are as wonderful as anyone on this channel - no better , no worse. Join in. At worst on here 'It,s sticks and stones....... Yes, I did start the rumour. The book on seduction will be going back to the library - it said ' No-one will ever guess . Women will flock to your door. ' Well, at least the meter reader was a lady when she called this morning. Happy days |

In a state of being short in stature and sitting on a horse? Or happy and sharing jokes? |

I agree Jim, so I would TRY not to let it bother me. I must say that I am a bit wary of joining in on threads which look abit argumentative to me. Mind you, Not if I think everyone is in a 'jocky' state, then I will join in. Deanna :-0) |

Folks, My thanks to you all. Some very pertinent points. Particularly liked the 'going in silence, then you can always come back' idea. Don,t be too hard on Buttercup She,s a lovely soul, and a great new member. ( may well have heard the rumour that I,m a millionaire. ) Happy days |

Deanna, I am sure it is only a small minority of troublemakers who cause the friction. The rest of us just want to enjoy the social interaction here while researching our Families' Histories. |

I cannot remember what I did without this board Harry. Its easy to just ignore what you dont like, its not as if we were having a face to face row is it? Deanna |

You are so right Harry. A time to reap, a time to sow. A time to speak up, A time to be silent. It seems as though some people delight in winding others up which is a shame as we are not all hard enough to take it. GR have a duty of care here and really have no option than to delete Threads which may give offence, even though the Thread itself is not guilty of it, but others ( who should know better) add comments which they shouldn't. |

The other thing I would say is, if you feel strongly enough about it and realise that it is only yourself who will suffer. Please just go quietly and don't make an issue of it. Chances are you will change your mind and it will be easier to drift back in if you haven't made a fuss about leaving. Ann Glos |
