    Mike1, allow me to now pose a question to you. Do you actually read people's posts before you start answering them? I QUOTED POST 3 IN MY REPLY (post 42 if you want to actually read what I typed). It is now bolded so maybe you won't skip over it. Now, if you are referring to the "you would be misinformed" statement, how is that an attack? Did he say McMurdo is a moron for joining a bogus society? Hell no he didn't! There is no indication that McMurdo ever felt threatened by anything Gilmore said (at least not that he posted publicly). In fact, Gilmore and McMurdo were having a very civil and courteous exchange about genealogy. Here is my suggestion to you. Instead of attacking people for disagreeing with others (and most especially you, it seems), you should read ALL the posts to see what is transpiring and before passing on your almighty judgments.

    As per your suggestion to forward all complaints to my inbox, that won't be necessary as people are more than free to form their own opinions and I don't look down my nose at them for disagreeing with me. I would agree that all complaints should to be taken seriously had Gilmore attacked McMurdo's race ,religion, etc, but attack him he certainly did not. As Monkey@ Arms pointed out earlier, it was "an informed opinion about the advice in the first post about what a good "first step" about learning about your greater family would be." Of course you then rounded on him for yet another opinion that differs from yours. Are you seeing a pattern here?

    And for the record, I don't know Gilmore or Monkey@Arms from Adam. I just happen to agree with Monkey@Arms in regard to Gilmore's post.

    Apologies to McMurdo that something special to him that he posted has gone down in flames, but Mike1's self-righteousness irks me.
