What sort of topics would YOU like to see on here?

Would be great to see some views from members who hardly/ never post as well.

A rich cross section of people's very different views reflecting the diversity of members.

I think most of the threads on here are fine.

I have a few that I just do not even open as I know I would say something truly awful on them as I do not agree with the sentiments or reasons behind them.

Do enjoy the odd debate, until it turns into a slanging match.

Hate when a thread has been RR'd before I know what is going on :-D

For what is is worth, my opinion is.....

Oh, why bother. Post will get reported anyway. I cannot remember why those two posts got reported - all I do know is that was nothing in them to upset or require reporting. Not my problem - let Genes sort that nonsense out. :-D ;-)

It was me who rr'd your posts John, why? because of your comments. I don't know about anyone else but I am fed up with you turning every thread you post on, into snide comments about you and other members.

You're not funny, nor are your comments relevant.

If this bothers you, get over it, and use your own threads to spout your views, then I won't have to read them.

There has been no malice or hatred in any of my posts. Trust me, I know that better than anybody. Your reporting of my two posts looks a bit biased, if I may say. I repeated more or less what Errol said but then slightly disagreed.

It looks to me as if you want posts from Errol on your thread but you don't want posts from me. :-S

I would appreciate any thread which, when I have taken some time and thought to post on it, is not subsequently removed by the OP because it is not going their way or by GR because two ( or more) people are having a 'walrus tusks at dawn' moment on it. :-D

As to topics, I enjoy sensible debates on anything, and perhaps some general threads on where people live or have visited in the course of their genealogy searches, maybe a few stories of different life styles from the past, anything interesting really that exercises the little grey cells a bit :-D

Its just great when the boards are actually flowing, real fun, laughter, proper debates , people enjoying what others have posted whether they agree with them or not.....

Enjoy the boards no matter who you are, and if things get abit out of hand move on....and post something we can all possibly learn from.......from any type of thread.....

Live and learn.......
