oh nooooooooooo they don't Jean durrant *had to be done * LOL

Glad thats sorted, but I aint adding my name again for anyone...what you see is what you get I am afraid...Lemon Nelly XX :-)

OK Ian (still not sure what to call you though), thank you for the explanation. Much appreciated. :-)

Ian...I just love doves of peace....Course you can disagree with me.... everybody else does lol

Ian, You probably don't know me from Adam but I have been instrumental in naming and shaming these vile objects of patheticness and I feel no shame in this fact. I am not a nasty, spiteful or bitchy (well sometimes lol) person, I would only involve myself in something like this if I truly felt it was justified. Let's all please carry on being a positive, nice group and let the Morons sulk on their stupid site (that they didn't even have the intelligence to make private in the first place - duhhh!!). Love and kisses to you all!! Becx (aka Rebecca Batty)

Thank you Ian. There are several people on this site with whom I'm friendly and yet we 'agree to disagree'. That's the adult thing to do, and it doesn't mean that we're humourless! Mandy

Just to confirm that I take back my unfortunate outburst. I don't mean to be narky but sometimes can't help myself! Doves of peace to Jean Durant and Mandy in Somerset! I reserve the right to disagree with you though!

Ian I'm very glad to see that you have finally offered Jean an acceptable apology and explanation. That goes a long way in my book, and I'm not one to bear grudges. Mandy

Ian/Adam/Ron/IW Brick or whatever I call myself ! if you read you will see I added my name as you seemed hung up that people had board names, strange! As I have said - I accept your apology as you obviously jumped in without knowing what people were so rightly upset about. Brick wall - Joanne Barker

Ian, Thank you for your retraction. As far as I am concerned the matter is now closed. Jean.

Any chance of getting in the ladies' section for 5 years?

Hi Brick and Glenys or whatever you call yourselves, Please read my posts carefully and you will see that I have no wish for a fight on here. I have got nothing to do with whatever has gone on lately, and am not a member of any other website that has been flagged up here as objectionable. My admittable crime is to have posted something, some time ago, which was uncomplimentary to Jean. Jean, if you are reading this, I regret that I have caused any angst to you through that post. It was something done in the heat of the moment when I was concerned about others, and regretted thereafter. I wholeheartedly take it back. We all have our ott moments and that was one of mine. Am I facing a few years in the nick or can I get away with community service?

Ian People are justifiably upset because Muffy (the same one whose suspension you were making such a big hooha about - under IW - on this board and Tips) and her pals have been incredibly vindictive and bullying towards Elaine. You appear to be suggesting they are hard done by - which they're not - and that they can't defend themselves - which they can. Even people who wouldn't normally describe themselves as Elaine's friends have been disgusted by the nastiness which is why you're alone in your argument. It's nothing to do with love-doveyness. If you're ignorant of the contents of the website you're just a tad silly commenting on the subject.

Alright then Ian/Ron/whatever you call yourself, what about me, then? I don't give my surname for a very good reason. If it's alright by you, that is. Our adopted childrens' birth mother is looking for them and I have no intention of disclosing my real name. Now, reading through the thread I conclude that you have come on here purely to stir things up. I know I've now played right into your hands, but this is all I'm going to say on it - if you want to reply that's up to you. And I'll thank you to leave Mandy alone.

Ian/Ron/adam/IW I don't know which one to call you to be honest - and that is not a dig as you change that often and always after a spot of mischief or a row I can only say again that apology accepted as I'm sure no-one who saw or who has heard about the website or the vicious attack on Jess by a few suspended members could possibly defend them in any way shape or form - what they have done is unforgivable in everyones eyes and that is why so many are coming together today and joining to say it is not acceptable behaviour of adults and is not wanted on here. Joanne

Ian You publicly mocked a very good friend of mine - and someone who is loved and highly respected by many on these boards - and I dared to stand up to you and say that you didn't know what you were talking about. You then went on to literally poke fun at me. That's why I have your membership number noted down, along with your other aliases. Nobody has a problem with 'board names', it's those who use another name simply to cause trouble. I have never been known as anything other than either Mandy Blake or Mandy in Somerset in the 2 1/2 years of my GR membership. I have nothing to hide. I even make it public knowledge that I have three accounts - my birth tree, my adoptive tree and my husband's tree (which is technically in his name, but being married we actually share the same surname, and I'm the one doing his tree). You were a key player (as Adam Godson) on the night that someone changed their name to Genes Reunited, started posting on the Success Board, and several were suspended. Now go away and cause a ruck somewhere else. Mandy PS: The reason I keep my maiden name fairly low-key is because it's quite unusual, my birth mother is a nasty piece of work, and my adoptive parents are lovely, so I'd like to protect them from her wrath if at all possible. However, if you really have a desperate desire to know that as well, please send me a PM and I'll tell you what it is.

That's ok Jean as the apology wasn't directed at you. I understand there has been a shemozzle and that Goonergirl Elaine suffered and I had nothing to do with that and would not have condoned unjust personal attacks on anybody, especially when they didn't have the means to defend themselves. That is just basic manners. Sorry if this comes across as a whinge but so be it. I find it amusing how such erstwhile lovey-doveys have turned against me when I meant no harm.;)

Oh Ian I'm going to have to retract my acceptance of your not very heartfelt apology. Mandy calls herself 'Mandy' cos it's her name and 'in Somerset' cos it's where she lives. No-one is complaining that people use boardnames - the majority of people do. What is not nice is when people rejoin when suspended under aliases to post unpleasantly or to stir up trouble. Or to change their name frequently on the boards to post unpleasantly or to stir up trouble. A bit like you really:)

Is that the best argument you can come up with Ian? Pretty pathetic isn't it? Mandy is in Somerset. She does look ups for people so her board name gives a clue to where she can do look ups. If she sends you a pm her full name.....Mandy Blake......comes up in your inbox. Where's the hypocrisy?

Methinks the revealing of your former names has made us remember your former posts under those names mainly to cause argument. So we now know who we are talking to People have long memories and wont forget people who court trouble as you seem to do. By the way you are posting it seems to me that you are siding with these wrong doers...and casting a mocking shadow over the many members who can see they are wrong. It does make me suspicious as a mate of some of those banned, that this isnt a quest to get me to rise to the bait whilst they copy paste to their hearts content. sorry if im wrong but it gives that impression. again sorry to those banned who are innocent, you will be welcomed back.
