Drowned at Sea

[trish251]

This thread  started with a question to which the answer was already known. It highlighted some issues that have been long causing saddness and disarray to those of us with roots in Fife.

Like Prue, I would suggest the humour and suggestions currently be kept for other threads. Sancti can laugh at Dave about taking photos in Renfrew in 1855    but it doesn't quite suit the majority of comments that have been made on this thread.

In a similar fashion to JAP, I think it would be great if we could all share our resources and research and enjoy Ffe in the same way as we enjoy the other boards on Rootschat. When that happens, our sense of humour will probably return.

Seems rather pointless to delete current comments - always makes replies to same appear somewhat lulu

Hi everyone - I have a request:

Tom has been asked several questions on this topic which he has chosen not to answer. 

Until Tom returns, and responds to the questions he has been asked, the Moderators ask that off-topic postings (i.e. those not directly about Drowning At Sea) be kept to a minimum until Tom returns and responds to the questions he has been asked.  This will keep the thread as short as possible and will make it easier to follow 

Thanks for your help, folks   

Cheers
Prue (the Eco-Mod    )

After deleting some posts added after her message, we would like to add to Prue's message to you all.

We wish to leave this topic open so that tommacgregor can respond to the unanswered questions.

Please do not add any more replies until Tom has answered us.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi All (RootsChatters, Mods and Admin),

I'm very sorry if I'm seen to be being difficult by posting despite the request not to - but this does seem to me to be extremely important ...

My understanding is that a very few relatively unimportant posts have been deleted.

But my understanding is that one VERY important post has been deleted.

That post was, I understand, an implicitly offensive post from tommacgregor - and it has been far too frequently, in my view, that offensive posts from tommacgregor have been deleted thus protecting him.

My understanding is that this particular deleted post from tommacgregor was directed to sancti i.e. yet another "slap in the face" to all those kindly RootsChatters who have helped tommacgregor over many many months with their time, expertise and money; to all the RootsChatters & Mods who have asked pertinent questions on this particular thread; and to the Mods who have - on this particular thread - endorsed the need for those questions to be answered.

Why not leave the thread to continue as when Little Nell said:
"(And by the way this thread is complete! no deletions anywhere)"?

Kind regards to all,

JAP - Judith (Judy) A PHILIP

We ask you again, please do not add any more replies until Tom has answered these questions.


The moderating team have asked for co-operation from many contributors,
mostly by personal message and now by public message. 
For those with a genuine wish to bring the matter to a close,
it would be nice if that co-operation was forthcoming.

This topic will remain open until Thursday, 18th September.
If Tom chooses not reply, it will be locked and the matter will be closed. 

This may be unsatisfactory to some but the moderating team
try to moderate by encouragement rather than by force and humiliation.
