1. I have posted my Champions, do you only pay attention when there is
contention on the list?
2. Maybe I was a little too rude, but darn it, I have a brick wall with
Champion written all over it. I open my mail and get nothing but people arguing.
3. I have had several people email me privately who can't wait for a new
list. Isn't that a shame? It shouldn't be like this. How ridiculous.
4. I am an American. I love my Country. I respect and support the president.
I have 2 friends, and 5 family members in Iraq as we speak. My father was in
Viet Nam, as were 2 of my uncles. One uncle died in the Korean war. My
grandfather in WW2. His uncle in WW1. My husband, his brother, and his father are
vetarans. I have never stated the above opinions until now, as this is not the
place for such things.
5. Why can't we just do genealogy. That is all I want. Since this is a
genealogy list, one would think that is what would be going on here.
6. It's not just "Missy & Phil". I have had several personal emails from
other list subscribers who are angry as well.
7. It's not as if this is the first time something like this has happened. I
admin. a few lists myself, and getting off topic is no big deal; However when
things are said that have the potential to offend someone, it becomes a big
deal. Rootsweb happens to agree with me. Argumentative, or potentially offensive
postings are nothing to "lighten up" about.
8. Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, and we have all had
ancestor's or close family members who have died defending that right. There is
such a thing as time and place.
Ok. I promise you all that I will never bother you with my opinion again. I
realize I just did what I've been griping about, but when one is verbally
abused, called anti-american, cussed at, etc. I feel that person is at least
allowed to stand up for themselves.
I JUST WANTED TO GET THE LIST BACK ON TOPIC. I've been really
frustrated, as the only time there's any activity, it's spurred on by someone
starting an argument.
