There are some people in life that one can do without!

I received an email tonight from another POE member (apparently) who has written that my comments here are "derogatory". She asks what has it got to do with POE members, and that the FB message was so as not to embarrass me on POE. As if...

She says she doesn't deserve such treatment, but I think differently based on the abuse that she directed at me on FB which is totally unacceptable.

She says I shouldn't have gone running to POE to enlist support from members who don't know her. Well she got that bit right!

She ended up "It was quite sickening to read, shame on you Ron, you have not changed at all"

I have offered this member the opportunity to air her views here in the forum and will only name her if she wants me to post her letter. I doubt that will happen.

POE is not FB and never will be, therefore the only derogatory comments are on FB where thay can stay. Frankly I don't care if I never hear from either of these two women again.

If these ladies have got any grievances against you Ron that relate to POE, they should have the spirit of their own convictions, and come on this site to air them, not to hide behind FB and abuse you that way, the members then could make their own minds up, and decide if any of the grievances directed at you Ron, are justified or not.

Well that's the way I see it.

It's pretty bad when they post something and see to it that you can't. I was said to of said something by Rosalie, on an ancestor.. in one of her written up articles and didn't and she saw to it there was no way to say I didn't say it. I don't like that, right there is when you know  something is wtong with that person. They wanted to "make up" who was family and have done it and don't care if they did any more. My son is an Lawson and will always go by that name. She's part of my mother's lineage...and second marriage.

I never joined facebook, don' t care if I do, it's an free for all over there most the time. One reason they highly scrutinize everything said these days, behind the scenes. Sad but true.

Name and shame Ron!!!

But maybe not, as has been well documented here POE is a close and freindly community so no reason to stoop to those levels. Facebook has long been renowned as a site for 'getting at' people. Both my stepdaughters have experienced it. I'm with Mike, although I did see some of the earlier altercations, and would agree if the grievances started on POE have the guts to carry the throuigh on POE not a 'slagging off'' site. She has probably gone through Facebook because she knows she is totally in the wrong and will not get any backing from anyone on POE. As indicated earlier in the thread she showed her true colours when asking to see the POE accounts before making a decision to continue with Premier membership. For the sake of £15 (app $22) who was she trying to kid. Let her go or close her account.....we have done without her for long enough now i doubt if she will bne missed. I will reiterate what James inferred, when I first joined POE she was a friendly regular in the forums but then it seems overnight something snapped and she changed big style. We will get over it and she will soon be forgotten.

Thanks for the offer Sue, but these things are best left to disappear into the mists of time of their own accord, as I am sure the situation with Ron will do.

In any case, I do not think there is a way of globally deleting old posts from a user's account. I think it would have to be done on a post by post basis.
