List Members,
Concerning the recent unpleasantness.....
I'm sorry I have been away, due to a family illness, however, Cousin Nancy
is the Hostess for this List and several other lists that I administer.
When I'm away, she "wears" the "Admin hat". She *is not* a member
of the
Rootsweb List Administrators list and was not privy to the *new* Rootsweb
"guidance" for List Administrators regarding "discussions" during this
"period of charged emotions and anxieties ." That "guidance", as a
matter
of fact, is still being "discussed", among List Administrators. Nancy
informed me of the situation, as soon as I called her. I read the message
thread and noted that she sent her apology message as soon as the first
objection appeared, to her original message. I also noted that there were
some subsequent exchanges and veiled threats, among the
members.............this was NOT cool.
Lets let this drop, try to be a little more considerate and respectful of
the feelings and views of others. Above all, lets get on with our
genealogy, otherwise, our Champion ancestors......God fearing, patriotic
and the "occasional" rogue may rise up and throttle us "all"! :) :)
Cheers,
Cliff Fiveash
List Administrator
