That was never my definition of kindness and respect. And if you take it out of context of the conversation, like you did, it becomes misleading. Sue knows what she did, and that it has been an ongoing situation, and for quite some time. Sue likes to play her games, even though it is a nuisance, and disrespectful of others. When she isn't playing her games, she can be a nice person, enjoyable to be with. But there isn't any excuse for her recent antics, and certainly no reason for her to talk to me like she did (or to anyone else that way). Sometimes you need tough talk to make a point, to point out that such behavior is unacceptable, and certainly isn't the way to make friends and influence people. I hope Sue gets her act together and learns how to "play nice" with everyone. I also hope she doesn't grow into a lonely old woman, but that is totally up to her. And if you even have an inkling of what has been going on for the past few years, you wouldn't of made your statement. And until the last few posts here, you would know I have never talked to Sue unkindly, even during her "game time".

Ralf has shown much more kindness and respect to Sue, than Sue has shown for Ralf, or for that matter any other chatter, in the Genforum room. Lying about your identity, insulting chatters, and "singing" in the room to break up a serious genealogy discussion is not showing any kindness or respect. And that's just a minor portion of what Sue has done to the other chatters.
If ...she could show she had some manners ... If she could show she was doing genealogy rather than trying to bust up a room ... If she could stay on topic ... and If she would come in under her true identity rather than adopting 10-12 nom de plumes in one day ... If she could do all that, perhaps she might deserve some respect. If ...she could quit attacking people ...and then trying to catch sympathy by feigning serious illness which other chatters are really trying to deal with and then explaining it away as "just a joke"... She might deserve some respect... Respect is earned. Sue does nothing to earn it when she spends half her time moaning about how the state is interfering in her personal life ....and the other half moaning about how she can't seem to hold a job despite her impossible demands. Others in that room have their own personal problems. They choose to stay on topic and discuss genealogy. They have my respect. So does Ralf who calls a spade a spade. He's a diamond in my deck. Join us in the chat sometime. You might find a lot of people deserve a lot of admiration and respect for what they are doing to help other people with their genealogies. Unfortunately, Sue is not one of them. Jackie |

In defense of Genealogy.com, I must say that I have never had any problems getting into the different sites or the forum. I do not subscribe or buy any of their products, but have found a lot of useful information in the different programs available without charge and have posted several entries into the genforum without any problems, and have always received notification when someone responded to one of my entries.

I have gone a few times to Genforum during the day and it is empty. I know that in early mornings and nightss (US time) it used to be full but everytime I go there at those times, there is hardly anyone there anymore.

You will never know the real reason that "Maybe that is why you have to have government agencies come into your home and take certain responsibilties over?

Well, you may be happy to know I have no intention to ever go back to Genforum because I found an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder chatroom where I can go and discuss "my problems" with people who have diagnosed with the same disorder I have.

Sue: Whether you come back or not is up to you. But I am glad you have found a support group, and are making progress. I truly wish you well, and hope your life can be a happy one.

Faya3,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble. I haven't worked for Genealogy.com since June so I can't give you any official help. Here are some thoughts I have. Are you logging into the Chat room? If you are trying to log into the chat room, the URL would be http://chat01.genealogy.com:4080/chat/world/html/login.html. Or are you logging in to Genealogy.com (or GenForum) where the url would be something like http://www.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/login.cgi?option=my? Those are two separate processes that could have different user names and passwords. Each has different potential issues when trying to log in. Keep in mind that since the log-ins are different for the chat room than Genealogy.com, you must create a chat user name and password. That is, just because you may have a Genealogy.com account, does not mean you also have a chat account. ->Paul B. |

Faya-
If you have created a new user for chat click on the words Click Here on the log in page for help with questions about Ichat chat clients. If you are trying to use the default client without first downloading the globalchat plugin, you will not be successful. They do not make this clear on the log in page. |

So you are saying that those 30 odd names that I am trying to find are just made up?

Just go to www.genforum.com and look for chat in the top left corner and hit it. It will ask you to register a chat name.

Why will I be a lonely old woman. According to Genbug and the rest of you, I suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder which means I have more than enough friends to keep me company.
