as a possible sideline to that RR issue ........................



a friend has emailed me, off-site, to ask what is going on ............... she received a message through Genes telling her that I had RR'd someone and she "should not be taken in by me"


:-S :-S :-S

I'm hoping that she will tell me who sent that message


..................... the last post I RR'd was several weeks ago, one of those where someone was being abusive to our friend who is no longer on site.

telling her that I had RR'd someone and she "should not be taken in by me"

I wouldn't worry Sylvs......we've bin taken in by you fer years ;-)



In my account, I have not posted my married name and my maiden name is 'Thatwouldbetelling'. I changed it early last year after some advice on the boards.



Haven't been out today......the car is in for it's service. It was picked up at 8.15am and, at about 2.15pm we had a phone call to say that it had to have a new tyre and windscreen wipers but the main problem was that they couldn't move the driver's seat!!! :-S


Apparently, a new law came out in January stating that the driver's seat must be moveable. Oh dear. It won't pass it's MOT till they can fix it and they are really struggling. So, we are carless at the moment. Fortunately, we use a friend's garage and get first class service from them.


Just wondering what the bill will be like :-S

here are the 2 emails that he sent


Subject: Dont be hoodwinked

1 Mar 7:51 AM

Dont be hoodwinked by Sylvia for this person is the one who reported my posts, how do i know this the help desk told me.


3:36 PM

It is this person who is reporting what you have posted.If in a response you have disagreed with her comments.

--------------------

Unless I have completely lost my marbles (NO COMMENT!), I have not reported ANY threads or posts by Stephen.



How do I know how many other people he has contacted, with these statements that completely malign me?



I have reported them to GR, and asked for advice on how to deal with the situation.

response from GR re the pms sent to my friend ..............


"Thanks for this.
I've just found the message Stephen sent to your contact. I've also looked through his other messages and can't find any others mentioning you. I'm not sure what has happened in the past between you both and I hope you can appreciate we can't get involved in personal disputes between members, but we've written to him, and warned him about this message as it's clearly not acceptable behaviour on his part.

We'll be checking to see if he sends any more emails out like this as we don't want this type of behaviour on the site. Would you like me to block Stephen from contacting you again?"

---------


I have not asked for him to be blocked ......... we'll see what happens.

There is one snide little comment on one thread that I go on on Suggestions, but it will mean nothing to anyone who does not know what has happened.




Regarding the other problem, the use of my maiden name in the email GR sent to him, this is their response ................

"Thanks for your feedback on this
I can confirm my colleague has amended your details so your surname and maiden name now do not appear anywhere in your profile information.
I'm sorry for any distressed caused but your name will never be revealed again. I do hope this does not spoil your enjoyment of the site."

---------------


I am happy with both.

I dont like the fact GR can read our pm's

PM means private message not something everyone who works at Genes can read

Anyway at least it shows what he has done on this occasion
